DON'T MOVE THE UNIVERSITY

The resolution proposing the renlov-
al of University Of Mississippi from
Oxford to Jackson, and to consolidate
that renowned old institution with
other state colleges,is simply redicu-
lous. IL
The University is sacred to hosts of
Mississippians-to those splendid men
who completed their education there
and have made such useful and dis
tinguished citizens throughout the U.
S., and to the proud parents of these
exemplary characters. Therefore any
effort to remove the location of this
great institution of learning should be
promptly voted down by members of
both branches of our State Legis1a-
ture. The University should remain
at it's present location.

sions. It seems particularly inappro-
pirate if a strong and achieving wo-
mn must act as if she were defence
less and inferior.
Women's institutions are superior to
mems. If they feel this attitude OF
reserve best suited to the interests of
their sex, there is no doubt some rea-
son for it, But some splendid girls,
admirably fitted to become wives and
mothers take it too seriously. Fear
full Of offending the highest standards,
they adopt an attitude of such great
reserve as to cool the approach of
suitors, whom they might win by a
little more assertion of their feelings.
This is not the case at ali with the
lveral, girl. She may seem helpless
in the presence Of the vacillating male.
But she has ways of allurement and
strategy known to her sex. By these
she can bring an irresolute and incon-
slant lover to declare himself in a
manly way.
Nominally he takes the initiative.
Actually it was hers. Every year may
be Leap Year to a girl who knows
her own mind. Some hunted bache-
lors know this truth quite too well for
their comfort.

LEAP YEAR.

LEAF 1EAK.
There was a period when the old
laws of Scotland and France gave the
women the right to make proposals
of marriage during Leap Year. In
Scotland man refusing such an offer
could be fined one pound. Thus fem
inism stirred early in the hearts Of
women.
The modern custom, giving men the
exclusive privilege of making this pro-
posal, seems to have risen from the
old conception of woman as weak or
inferior creature. Women felt they
could win men only through charm and
elusiveness. If they sought after
men, they seemed to cheaper them
selves and become less desirable.
Today many women are physically
as strong as men, and are mentally
superior. The average woman is bet
ter educated. Many women are sue
ceeding in business and the profess

IL had a case of stomach trouble
that had been bothering me for the
past ten years, " he continued. "Af-
ter nearly every meal gas would form
and I had cramps in my stomach that
would pain me for hours. This kept
getting worse and about two years
ago I got so I couldn't eat a thing
without having a pain of some kind.
My nerves were so completely upset

"What-the place where we are to

"Yas, sab. It's de mouth OBJ a little
creek whut yer nebber see till yer
right plum at it. Bettah keep yer eyes
open long dat shore, sah."
The girl, alertly bent forward, was
first among us to detect the concealed
opening, which was almost completely
screened by the overarching trees, her
voice ringing excitedly as she pointed
1t out. Sam was quick to respond,
and almost before 1 had definitely es.
tablished the spot, the bow Of the boat
swerved and we shot in through the
leafy screen, the low-hung branches
sweeping against our faces and scrap
ing along the sides. It looked a veri-
table cave, and indeed all I remember
noting in my first hasty glance
through the shadows was the outline
of a small boat moored to a fallen
tree. I scrambled over, found preca-
riOus footing, and made fast.

out of the cockpit and Joined me,
"'ceptin' dat boat. Oar amt no boat
round yere, les folks hes bin a-ridin'
in it, All reckon"
Sam advanced cautiously and began
anxiously to c the ground, beating
back and forth through the under
brush. After watching him a moment
my gaze settled on the strange boat,
and / crept along the log, curious to
examine it more closely. 1t had the
appearance Of being newly built, the
paint unscratched, and exhibiting few
marks of usage. A single pair of oars
lay crossed in the bottom, and beside
these was an old coat and some ordi-
nary fishing tackle-but nothing to
arouse any interest. Without doubt
it belonged to Amos Shrunk, and had
been left here after the return from
some excursion either up or down the
river. I was still staring at these
things and specializing about them
when the negro called out from a dis
lance that he had found the path.
Rene answered his hail, standing up
in the boat, and I FASTENED back to
help her ashore.
We had scarcely exchanged words
during the entire night, but now she
accepted my proffered hand gladly,
and with a smile, springing lightly
from the deck to the insecure footing
Of the log.
Il dc not intend that you shall leave
me behind" she said, glancing about
with q shudder. 'This is such a hor-
rid place."

His eyes, which had been eagerly
following the movements of the craft,
turned and glanced at me. "Massa
Kirby he wus aboard dat steamer,
sah."
"Kirbyt Are you sure about that,
Gam?"
"'Course Abs SURE. Didn't All see

shore like a hawk. Dat sure wus
Iassa Kirby all right, but dar want
nobody else long wild him."
"But what could he be doing there
On q troop boat?"
The negro scratched his head, mo-
nentarily puzzled by my question.
"Ah sure don't know, sah," he ad-
ndtted. "Only OATS perzackly who 1t

In a rowboat; an OATS how dey aims

I sat down at the edge of the bluff,
convinced that the conclusions Of the
negro were probably correct. That
was undoubtedly about how it had

power would be ~senseless, but the pas
sage upward Of this troop boat af-
forded Kirby an opportunity he would
not be slow to accept. Getting aboard
would present no great difficulty, and
his probable acquaintance with the
captain would make the rest easy.
The steamer by this time was NOV
ing diagonally acros the river, head
toward the other shore, and was al
ready SO far away the men on deck
invisible. It was scarcely prob
able that Kirby would go far north
ward, but just what course the man
would take when once more ashore
was problematical. Where he might
choose to seek for us could not be
guessed. Yet the mere fact that he
was already above us on the river was
In itself a matter for grave consid-
Grafton. Still thus far we remained
INDICATED, and there was less danger
in that direction than downstream.
Once we attained the Illinois and
made arrangements with Shrunk the
immediate danger would be over.
Then I need go no farther-the end of
the adventure might be !af to others.
I looked up-the steamer was a mere
'smudge on the distant bosom of the
river.
Il was late afternoon before Rene
finally emerged from the cabin to
learn the news, and I spent most of
the time. on watch. seated at the edge
Of the bluff, my eyes searching the
surface Of the river. While Kirby's
presence upstream unquestionably in
creased our peril Of capture, this did
not cause me as much anxious thought
rs did the strange disappearance of
Free Pete and the two women. What
had become of them during the night?
Surely they could never have out
stripped us with only a pair Of oar
by which to combat the current, and
yet we had obtained no glimpse of
them anywhere along that stretch of
river.
The knowledge that the steamer
which had passed is was heavily
laden with troops was most encour-
aging. In itself alone this was abun-
dant proof of the safe delivery of my
dispatches, and I was thus relieved to
realize that the duty had been per-
formed. There might be wonder and
later the necessity Of explanation, yet
no one would suffer from my absence,
and I was within the limits of my fur
lough-the re-enforcements for Forts
Armstrong and Crawford were al
ready on their way. So, altogether,
I faced the task of eluding Kirby with
a lighter heart and renewed conf
dence. Alone, as I believed him to be,
and In that new country on the very
verge of civilization, he was hardly

welcomed an encounter. i
There is little to record, either OF
the day or night. The latter shut down

had not broken when we came to the

bow cautiously up that stream, be-

had entered new waters. The negro,

beached the boat on a sand bar, and
we decided it would be better for US
to remain there until dawn. This was

HUCGINS AND THE

Miller Huggins will manage the Yam kees for another year This announce ment was made by Colonel Jacob Rup- pert, president of the club, several days ago.
 Huggins signed a one-year contract, Colonel Ruppert said, "The Midget Manager" has handled the Yankees for three seasons, succeeding Wild Bill Donovan. Under the leadership of Higgins the Yankees finished once in fourth place and twice in third place.
 With the managerial part of the Yanks settled for the season, the Yam kee owners face something of Ruth problem for next year. The Babe and the Midget Manager were reported not to be on the best of terms, especially toward the end of the season. In fact, the Babe is quoted as having said that there was not room on the same team for himself and the manager. The Babe IS now in.
