Miscellaneous Shower

Mrs. Ray Rimes and Mrs. X.
Trompp entertained a dozen young
ladies at the Rimes home on West
May street last Wednesday evening.
The occasion was a miscellaneous
shower in honor Of Miss Zerita
Groves, whose marriage to c. ID.
Johnson of Greenville, takes place at
her home in Edmore the last of Nov
ember.
The evening was pleasantly spent
with music and games. The girls
fashioned their ideal man from gum,
fished over a curtain and did various
other stunts ending up with pinning
roses on the picture Of the bride to
see who would be the next bride. A
large basket of gifts was then pres
ented to the guest of honor, all of
which were both pretty and useful.
Refreshments were served, after
which the guests departed, wishing
the bride-to-be a lifetime of happi-
ness.

rendered by the pupils of the 9th and
7th grades representing bunch of
down and out darkies who were ex-
pecting the Lord to provide their
Xmas dinner, after having gambled
their last cent, which He miraculous
ly did when the picaninnies swiped a
turkey.
AS the conclusion old Santa Claus
and gorgeous tree was
stripped of about two hundred pack
ages which were distributed to the
happy kiddies and teachers.
The hall was magnificently de-
corated and Prof. Lee and his as
sistants are leaving happy hearts
who will gladly await their return at
the new year. Berwick has never
possessed a body of teachers who
were more loved and respected than
the present incumbents, and their

happiness of their pupils, has been
in countless ways.

sALARIEp MAN THE LOSER.
Effort of Fitting 1906 Income to 1911
Outgo Well Nigh Hopeless.

Outgo wen Ni9h hopeless.
THE real tragedies of life" says DIR.
f., S. Stein, of Lincoln, Neb, may be
found in refined families who are try
ing to fit the income of 1905 into~the
outgo of 1916. What were yesterday
the costly luxuries Of well do today
become the daily necessities OF the
many. The purchasing power OF a
So, 600 salary Of today Is less than that
of $4,000 salary Of ten years ago."
And, as DIR. Stein asserted, "the vast
army of salaried men has been the
chief sufferer" The wages Of me-
chanics and day labprers have ad-
vanced "in about the same ratio" as
the cost of living. "But the salaried
men have had their salaries increased
but slightly, and in many instances
not at ALL
1t was ever thus with the salaried
man. He has held the ability that was
useful to the enterprises of men with
capital His struggle has been one Of
competition without combination. He
has scorneG to market bis services by
force OF collectiyism.
The laborer has come to 1t. The
artisan who prided himself on the in
dfviduality Of his work and enjoyed
personal ties with his employers has
had to forego these non essentials. He
now speaks to his employer in the
brutal, if protective term OF unionism.
He has submitted schedules Of pay and
insisted on them on pain of strike.
Thus he has bettered his condition and
raised the standards Of pay both with
in and witht ut the unions.
The salaried man alone is left In the
lurch. the only autographed apostle OF
the competitive system. He may so
remain, for Of all the statutes OF men
his is the least in money grubbing.
His is the talent which can make the
least 20 the farthesr. and his is the
disposition to make the most Of his lot
without pressure on his employers.

LoheFELLow's INSPIRATIONS.
How the American Poet Came TO Write
His Most Famous Poems.

When Henry Wadsworth Longfeilow
was appointed professor OF mooerii
languares and literature at Harvard
University in 1895, he took up his resi-
dence in the old Vassar mansion. once
the most pretentious home in cam
bridge. 1t was there that washington
made his headquarters when ne TOOK
charge Of the colonial army in July,
1775, and under the elms which shaded
it the First President and Gen. La
fayette met and conferred.
. 1t was in this home, according to no
less an authority than Hezekiah But
terworth. the historian, of Boston, that
may of Longfellows most famous
poems were written. The original OF
THE Clock on. the Stairs chimed the
hours as the poet worked. A summer
morning was the inspiration of The
Psalm Of Life" in 1898, when Longfel-
low still was young man. He placed
it In his diary and for many years
would not consent to its publication,
but when he finally did it quickly
FLEW over the world" to quote But
terworth. few lines Of the poem in
Japanese characters on Japanese fan
once were found by friend travelling
in the Orient, who sent the fan to
Longfelow as evidence Of the wide
audience which The Psalm Of Life"
enjoyed.
In 1899 a storm Of unusual violence
swept the New England coast, and
that night Longfeilow could not sleep.
He got up and wrote "The Wreck Of
the Hesperus," finishing the verses
as the clock on the stairs struck g.
"The Hanging of the Crane" was
suggested when Longfellow went to
call on bride and bridegroom. He
found them seated at little tea table
in front of the hearth, The young hus-
band also was poet, and Longfel1ow
advised him to write romance on the
Acadian custom of hanging the crane.
Ten years later they met again, and
finding that his suggestion had not inn
pressed the other, Longfellow wrote
1.-The Hanging OF the Crane" himself.
