CANVAS BOOK COVERS.
Done i'm Cross Stitch They Are Quaint
and Artistic.

If you like to give the artistic
touch to your books by making COW
ers for them of fine canvas you may
work them in the old-fashioned cross
stitch exactly like that used by our
great-grandmothers. The scover is
made the same as the calico and
gingham cover for school books used
to be made, but on the outer side
little conventional designs and the
name are worked. Sometimes the
only working will be the name. All
of us have a few books which are
very dear because of association, or
the helpfulness of their contents, but
the bindings have become worn and
shabby. The canvas binding in cross
stitch is not only pretty, but it is
quaint and will save the books

TO THE BACHELORS.
Hints to Those Who are Contemplate
ing Matrimony.

In the June Woman's Home Com
panion is an article, entitled How I
Made a Good Husband of My Son.
in which the writer lays down some
rules for course Of domestic train
ing for bachelors, who are thinking,
of being married.
Besides heating the house." he
says, "a man should have thorough
theoretical and simple practical
knowledge of plumbing, so he can be
beyond the mercy of an ignorant or
dishonest plumber. The upkeep Of
all the furniture is your province;
you should be able to replace cas-
tor automatically, or in your sleep
put on the pull of bureau drawer.
"Of course, he will not call in
painter when floors or woodwork
need painting or a man to replace
panes of glass or put up shelves, or
any of the smaller tinkering around
the house, any more than his wife
should hire a woman to darn the
stockings or do the small mending.
Zone of the most important du-
ties is to see that each window and
door is properly screened. He should
keep all the shades in proper order
and see that the windows work easi-
ly and smoothly, also keep the locks
of all doors in perfect order. He
should have a general knowledge OF
building materials, so he will be able
to advise his carpenter. Naturally,
too, he will keep the knives in prop
er condition, and no young man
should wait until he is married to
learn how to carve"

RESPOND TO STATES CALL.
Many South Carolina Men Enlistine
for Border Service.

South Carolina's patriotism and de-
votion to the "Stars and Stripes" to-
day is of the same brand that prompt
ed the members of the famous "Pal-
metto Regiment to shoulder their
muskets and defend their flag in Mex
leo more than three score years ago.
This is evidenced by the alacrity with
which the young men of this State
are responding to the call for recruits
for the National Guard to go to the
Mexican border, and perhaps further.
Gratifying reports have been receiv-
ed from various places where are To-
Gated the Companies comprising the
National Guard Of South Carolina,
and every indication is that when the
time comes to move southwark the
different commands will have been
recruited to their full strength.

TRACED TO KINGS ARMY.
Brother Believes NewberTy College
Tutor to Be in Canada.

Columbia, June 16.-Information
received in Columbia yesterday
would indicate that Fred D. MacLean,
the young tutor at Newberry college
who mysteriously disappeared May
IA, has crossed the border of the
United States into Canada and has
joined the forces of the dominion in
either Ottawa or Toronto. President
Harms, of Newberry college, explain
ed over the telephone last night that
a letter had been received from
brother, W. NJ. MacLean, superin-
tendent of public schools in Topeka,
Kan, intimating that all traces Of
his movements led to this conclusion.
The brother in Kansas has been fol-
lowing up all possible clues since his
disappearance last month. President
Harms further expressed the opinion
that he did not believe the young
man had been the victim of foul
play and believes that the matter will
be cleared up soon.
Investigation into the Columbia
end of the case yesterday developed
that Young MacLean registered at
the Imperial hotel on Saturday after
noon, May 13, occupying for the
night room 235. The hotel record
shows that he paid his bill Sunday
noon and checked out.
President Harms came to Colum-
bia on Monday, May Is, and by a
strange coincidence was assigned the
room that had been occupied by Mr..
MacLean. DR.. Harms said that he
did not see the young man while in
Columbia. When the young man
left Newberry he told his friends
that.h he would return Monday.
Young MacLean was treasurer of
the athletic association at Newberry
college and left all accounts properly
checked. He also had $50 to his
credit in one of the Newberry banks
and had a salary balance of 5000 due
him.
He was a member of the class Of
1915. During the four years of his
college course he did clerical work
in the Office of President Harms and
was in the close confidence at all
times of the administration. He was
captain of the college football eleven
and had numerous other college
honors to his credit During the past
session he has been tutor in the
institution and was favorably known
throughout the city as well as in the
college community. His home is in
Youngstown Ohio.
