CROSS SWORDS OVER PENSIONS

The embroslio at Norfolk involving Or.
Cutlery, superintendent OF the Norfolk
insane asylum. was used as an argument
for the adoption OF civil service reform
at the woman's club Monday. Mrs. +.
N. Cole, prominent club woman and civil
service reform advocate. declared that
civil service reform rule would have pre-
vented the disgraceful proceedings at
Norfolk because the rule demands an in
vestigatlon OF the moral character and

DepIOres Governors Veto.
Mrs Cole deplored the vetoins of the
last civil service reform hill by the gov
ernor and the fact that the state charl-
ties and corrections committee had not
worked to have the law passed.
"A civil service law would protect SUI
perintendents as well as attendants.
Nurses with immoral regulations would
never be employed. For humanitarian
reasons. II for no other because many OF
the inmates are In state institutions on
account OF immoral lives at home, club
women should work for this law" urged
Mrs, cole who il also chairman Of this

most of US a vacation is a respite

with the conviction that the pleasures
and increased health he expected to

Australian Afforestation.

Afforestation was the subject of ar
address by Sir Rouald Munro Fergus
on at Adelaide, South Australia, re
Gently. In the course Of his speech he
said: 81 have been much impressed
with the variety of the hardwoods
grown in Australia. I believe that in
Australia you have larger variety of
the best hardwoods than exists in any
other country in the world, but much
Of it has been wasted. In many in
stances these hardwoods have been
used when cheaper and softer timber
would answer the same purpose. Aus
tralia has an advantage in timber
growing-a forest natures in thirty
years, whereas it takes sixty years to
reach the same stage of maturity in
Europe The Californian pine grows
splendidly here, while it will not grow
at all in the north Of the British isles.
The total area reserved for forests in
South Australia is 154,232 acres and
besides gradually adding to the re-
serves, the government have estab-
lished a school of forestry at the AIDE
laide university for the scientific train
ing of foresters."

Kills Crow; ST in Its Beak.

The crow has long been notorious
for it's kleptomaniac tendencies and
known to steal anything, without re-
gard to its value, but from the con-
struction camp of the Chico Construc-
ton company, near Shippee, south Of
this city, comes a story of a crow that
was discriminating enough to steal
something of value.
John Schonlow, foreman for the
company, went hunting. He fired into
a flock of crows, killing one. When
Schonlow picked up the bird he found
tightly clasped in it's beak one dollar
bill.-Chico Dispatch Sacramento Bee.

HOME MEMORIES MEAN MUCH
Something Which They May Re-
call With Pleasure.

! Happy home memories to look back
upon is a gift which every mother
should plan as definitely to give to her
child as she plans definitely to give
him an education, sound health and
good judgment.
First Of all, then, it seems to me
we owe our children memories of a
beautiful home; home of simple COM
mon sense; a well-ordered home. This
would seem to me child's very first
right.
And next, it seems to me, he has the
right to memories Of beauty in the
home. Children are far more suscep-
tible to beauty than many Of us real
ize, and certainly the effect of beauty
on the child's life can hardly be over
estimated.
Further, home to be a delightful
memory must have the beauty of So
liability. 1t must be place where
people come to share its benefits, and
it's ideals. That home can hardly be
called home which does not open
its doors often.
Besides being a healthful place, a
beautiful place, a sociable home, if
it is to afford us enriching memo
ries, must be an intimate and sympa-
thetic place, possessing that finer in
innate sociability which grows up be-
tween the true home and it's inmates.
In all right living and thinking we
are partakers of kind of Immortality,
for death does not touch these things.

This last was one whom Lanyard

And he wondered with a thrill of
amusement if it were possible that
Roddy was on the trail of that tre-

of being at once the ugliest, one Of
the wealthiest and the most-liked man
in France.

for that reason did their possessor the

"How so-too far?''
"You might attract the attention of

New Coach For Princeton
Like to Be SPEEDY" Rush

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 23.-Prince-
ton will have a new football coach
next season. John Harland Speedy
Rush has had two-year trial and,
from the viewpoint of results, has
been found wanting. His likely sue
cessor is Steve McClave, a member of
the Princeton teams of 1899, 1900,
and 1901. Eddie Hart, another
Princeton star of bygone days, also is
mentioned as Rush's successor. So is
Jim Cooney.
\ statement to this effect was made
yesterday by one intimately identified
with collegiate football and in close
touch with Princeton men, not only
of the present day. but of the past.
He said that ii was certain Rush
would be deposed.
Princeton has not officially consid-
cred the matter yet. But the way for
Rush's deposition has been paved.
Princeton men themselves are paw
ing the way. They are paving the way
by suggestion. They are paving the
way by insisting upon results.
Rush has not obtained results, and
these Princeton men want a coach who
can. They want a man who is an in
and-in Princeton man. They want a
man who has figured in Princeton S
past. They want a man who smacks
of Princeton tradition. A great many
of these want McClaVe.
