LindamOOd Home
Threatened by Fire

The beautiful Lndamood home on
the Highlands was threatened with
destruction by FIRE last Wednesday
afternoon at two O'Clock. The fire
was discovered on the roof, where it
evidently originated from a spark
from the chimney, ard it had spread
over a considerable area when the
fremen, after long run, reached it.
A stream was promptly sent to the
roof Of the building and the chemi-
cal apparatus put to work with the
result that the progress Of the flames
was soon arrested and the fire ex-
tinguished. The loss was covered by
insurance fully. The home also suf-
fercd some damage by water and the
furniture also. The iremen did good
work in stopping the flames.

Mississippi Gives
$4,000 To Sewanee

L CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 49,
Mississippi is gradually nearing the
goal in the Sewanee million-dollar
endowment campaign. under the lead
ership of F. II. Bradshaw, with the
active cooperation Of Bishop Branton
and Bishop Green. The flying squad
rom has aroused much interest in
the drive during the past two weeks,
and campaign leaders report that
$50, 900 of a 100000 quota has been
subscribed.
From all parts Of the south reports
indicate that the Episcopal Church is
beginning tc realize that drastic ac-
ton will have to be taken to finish
the drive, and more interest is being
manifested now than at any other
time during the campaign, which was
launched over seven months ago.
If the latest caper Of campaign
leaders goes through, and every i'm
dication points to its complete sue
cess, the alumni of Sewanee win be
perfectly organized and the entire
south will go over the top within
short time.
This latest organization is the "Se-
vance minute men," composed Of for
mer Sewanee men who have expressed
their willingness to give their time
and use their influence to assist the
school in it's drive for a million dol
lars.

English Lenses superior.

When aero-photography commenced

found that the German-made lenses
would do the work of plcturing from

lenses. But the English opticians set
to work, and in a short time they pro
duced lenses that beat the German
product fair and square. Captured
aero-photographic apparatus during
the latter part Of the war showed that
the lenses were inferior In quality to

NICKEL BY NICKEL
Newspaper Man DribbIed His
Profit to Beggar.
Little Transaction by Which Scribe
Thought ne Was to Make Sass
Didn't End In Just That
Desired Way. !

"A newspaper friend of mine," said
Mr., Goslington. tells me OF an I'M
usual experience he has had, in fact 10
still having with beggar.
HE met this beggar first about a
year ago. The circumstances attend
Ing this first meeting were novel and
interesting and my friend wrote lit
tie piece about It which was printed
in his newspaper and for which he
received IS. AS he had given the
beggar nickel he figured that his
net profit on this was $295. But:
"A couple of weeks later he again
met this beggar. who again asked for
a nickel, a request that my friend did
not feel warranted in refusing.
don't think he would have refused any
way, my friend being an easy mark
for beggars; but having proflted by
his original transaction with this beg
gar, he felt impelled to hand over this
second nickel promptly, thus reducing
his net on this little piece to $500
1T wasn't long before my friend
discovered that this beggar lived some
where In his neighborhood and made
that part of the town his quarry; for
now he used to meet him here and
there by intervals. Not always, by
any means. when they met did the
beggar approach him commonly they
passed each other as any other two
might do, with no sign of recognition;
but once in while the beggar would
ask for a nickel, which always my
friend gave. In this way in tle course
of three months he gave up 35 cents,
thus reducing the net Of that So to
S2.65. Then my friend had an idea. 4
"He foresaw that If this went on
indefinitely, as there seemed every In
dication it would do, the beggar would
get all of the SO, which TO my friend
seemed scarcely reasonable. But he
did think that an even division would
be no more than right to the beggar,
and so when the SO got down to $2.65
he set aside, in his mind $1.15 as
drawing account to the beggar's credit,
and he said TO himself that when thus
the original fund had been evenly di--I
vlded he would stop giving and con-
slider that he had done the square
thing.
'Well. nv friend tells me that, count |
ing a nickel that the beggar drew yes
terday, he has now drawn $1.40, so
that now 1t is a question Of very few
weeks only, three or four at the ut !
most, when the beggar will have drawn
his full share. t4sass .sg 55ft,tBls ma

himself; but what I Think he wfir do !
will be to keep on paying till the

all his experiences with this unusual
