OLD TIME HARVESTS.
A Reminder Of the Days When You
Were a Boy on the Farm.

Were BOY on the r arm.
If yOu were ii boy Oh the farm you
will recall wildly what harvest NEAR :
to you. for you had to carry water, ana
harvest hands were thirsty set, nor
did they seem to care how far it was to
the spring or how badly chapped your
feet
When not carrying water you We're
busy gathering sheaves. which was
about the hardest work in sight. or at
least you thought it was.
When dinner came you would be so
hungry that there did not seem to be
enough on the table to satisfy you. to
say nothing Of the hungry bunch. In
this you would be somewhat disap
pointed. for there was always enough
for all.
Then for an hours rest. during which
the men would spra WI out in the shade
Of tree or OH the porch in the great
est comfort And maybe you would
have found a good place to rest your
weary bones and about to settle into 1t
when one Of the Graders would come
along with leaky bucket in one hand
and dull scythe In the other and Or
der you to come along and turn the
grindstone while you were resting.
Didn't it seem that they had spite

Aptitude.

Ny observation in life leads me to
believe that nearly every human being
has an a. a,,titude-that is. there is some
thing that he OF she can do better than
an other things. One in hundred.
again, has a remaHkab bic aptitude. and
In one in a Thousand this aptitude is
developed into something extraordi-
nary. It then amounts to natural In
sight and constitutes genius. Now, a
perfect system of education, If it could
be devised. would be one which, while
developing to the fullest extent all the
faculties, would allow free play to the
special aptitude.-From "The Autobiog-
raphy of Charles Francis Adams"

They use badinage for banter and

DOUBLED THEIR TROUBLE.
Yet JoeI's Neighbors Thought They
Had Made Good Bargain.

The shiftless owner of a worthless
old horse, Joel Turner. had been in the
habit of feeding the animal from the
cribs of his more enterpriSing neigh
bors until the patience of his victims
was completely exhausted. They had
caught him in the act Of helping him
self to corn number Of times, and so
there was plenty of evidence to con-
vict him. but on account Of his family
and his vindictive disposition no one
wanted to prosecute him.
One day. when Joel's neighbors were
discussing the situation. some one suS-
gested that it would be an act of
merey-whieh would also solve their
problem-if they bought the old horse
and put it out of its misery.
This suggestion the conference
adopted. They subscribed purse Of
SO and sent committee of one to buy
the horse.
Here the plan was threatened with
failure. The committee reported that
Joel did not want to sell.
After a few days Jesse Winfield.
who thought himself something Of a
diplomat. undertook to negotiate the
sale and to bis surprise found Joel not
only willing but anxious to sell the
horse.
That" said Jesse in a eongratula
tory tone, as he handed over the $40.
"was a good deal for you. You'll set
lots more good out CT the $40 than you
would out of. the old horse"

MRS. ANNIE HOWE
HAS PASSED AWAY


HAS PASSED AWAY
Presidents Sister Dies at New
London, Conn. Fcneral in Columbia.
The State.
Mrs. Annie Howe of Philadelphia,
sister Of President Wilson and wife of
the late George Howe, M. D., of Co.
lumbia, died early yesterday at sum-
mer hotel in New London, Conn, after
several weeks of illness with compli-
Gated peritonitis.
The president and Mrs. Wilson will
attend the funeral services, which will
be held in the First Presbyterian
church of Columbia tomorrow, on the
arrival of a Seaboard Air Line train
from the North, which is due at 1885
a. N.
The funeral party will proceed di-
rectly from the Seaboard station at
Gervais and Lincoln streets to the
church, at Lady and Marion streets.
A brief service will be conducted by
the pastor, the Rev. A. W. Blackwood,
with the assistance Of the Rev. Thorn
ton Whaling, D. D., president Of Co
Iumbia seminary. Interment will be
made in the family plot at the centre
of the churchyard. The committal
service, which will be private, will be
brief and simple.
Leaves Three Children.
The president is at his summer resi-
dence, Shadow Lawn, in Long Branch.
He will join the funeral party this
afternoon at Trenton, N. J. Mrs. Will
son, DR.. Gary T. Grayson and six
secret service men will probably be
the only other persons in his private
car. The family group coming from
New London comprises Joseph R.
Wilson of Baltimore, Mrs. Howe 5
brother; George Howe of Chapel Hill,
N. c., and Wilson Howe Of Richmond
her sons, with their wives, and Mrs.
Annie Howe Cothran, the only daught-
er, with her five year old daughter,
Josephine. George Howe is profes
sor of Latin at the University OF
North Carilina. Wilson Howe is an
officer of the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad. Mrs. Cothran is the wife OF
a Raleigh attorney, Perrin Cothran,
formerly of Abbeville in this State.
Miss Margaret Wilson, the president g
daughter, who has been Mrs. Howe's
companion during the whole Of her
residence this summer at New London,
is not expected to attend the funeral.
President Wilson has intimated to
friends in Columbia, to whom the
making of arrangements for the fun
eral was intrusted, that it will accord
with his late sisters desires and his
own if no official cognizarlce be taken
of the occasion. He comes not as
president but as a bereft brother, re-
turing to his old home to bury his
only sister. Honors which would 9th
erwise be paid him will therefore be
omitted out of Difference to his prefer
ences and those of the family.
The funeral party after the inter-
ment will proceed some to the private
cars parked at the Seaboard station,
others probably to apartments which
have been reserved at the Jefferson
hotel. Most of those expected have
undergone severe and continuous
strain during the long period in which
Mrs. Howe fingered in critical con-
dition. They will leave Columbia at
6:15 o'clock tomorrow evening via the
Seaboard Air Line.
Flowers will be sent to the church
Monday morning between the hours OF
9 and II.

SOLDIERS DUTIES FOR
next SEVEN MONTHS
Indications That Troops are to be
Kept on the Border for Long
Time to Come.

Brownsville Sentinel: The Dis
trict headquarters yesterday issued
a comprehensive order for troop in
structions during the period from
September 1st, 1916, to March 81,
1917. The order sets time for
all service and roll calls that will be
in effect in every organization
throughout the district.
The order provides that following
the last call at reveille the troops
shall engage in ten minutes calls
thenic exercises. Following mess
call the troops will drill from Z
o'clock until 1890. The order pro-
vides that the organizations shall re-
ceiye six hours of instruction daily,
four hours of which will be under
arms and the balance of the time to
instruction in the officers, non-com-
missioned officers and private
schools. The drill order will be in
effect on all days excepting Satur-
days and Sundays. Saturday morn
ing is set aside in the order for the
inspection of the men, equipment,
camps, and transportation.
Once each week the different or
CARNATIONS either in regimental or
brigade units will make a practice
march of 1 2 miles, when the troops
will be instructed in marching dis
cipline and will preserve uniform
speed of three miles per hour.
An interesting feature of the or
der is the setting aside of the sec
ond and fourth Saturday of each
month for the holding of regimental
athletic meets. On Sundays tile or
der sets aside one hour and half
for devotional exercises and three
hours for amusement and entertain
ment. The order sets forth that it
is as much the duty of the command
ing officers to provide healthy
amusement for the men, outside of
instruction hours, as to provide the
instruction for these hours. The or
der suggests the arrangement Of
vaudeville features, boxing, wrestling
matches and stag dances as few of
the means available for the enter
tainment and recommends that the
organizations be searched for tai
ent.
The order also provides for the fire.

and others to range from half
