JUST LEAVE IT TO TERRY
Harvard Authorities and Students
Rely on Memory of Colored
Human Encyclopedia.

No one knows how he does it. He
doesn't know himself Yet Terry never
fOrgetS a face or name. He never
took memory course. He never did
any special mental gymnastics to de-
velOp his memory. He has no theories
on the association of ideas. He has
no little tricks, such as remembering
a mans name is Carpenter because he
is built like lath. He simply re-
members. that's all.
Terry is roly-poly little cOlored
man who for l9 years has been the
human encyclopedia of the recorders
office at Harvard college. Every Har
ward man since 1900 knows Terry. The
remarkable thing is that Terry knows
every one of them. More than 10000
men have come and gone in Terry's
time. Terry remembers them all.
His extraordinary faculty for re-
memhering names and places caused
his being Installed in the position of
living encyclopedia, not only or all
Harvard men, but on Harvard history
generally. When members of the fac
ulty want to know the date of the fire

"Who Wrote lt"

When Demetra Vaka, author Of
"Haremlik" and ''In the Shadow of
Islam," first came to America she was
governess for year to the two little
grandsons Of j. Fehimore Cooper.
The children had been brought up
with the utmost reverence for their
famous grandfather, and had uncon-
sclously imbibed the belief that all the
worlds best literature was the off
spring of his pen.
Something was said in the elder
boys hearing one day about one Of the
books Of the Bible, with some refer
ence to Its authorship, and the boy
looked up at his governess with
startled face.
"Who wrote the Bible?" he demand
ed, as one whose first faith has been
shaken.
Demetra Vaka explained as best as
she could about the various books, and
the boy sighed, still bit incredulous.
81 aways thought" he said slowly,
that grandfather wrote it."

Island Ponds ADVANTAGES
for Summer Visitors

Island Pond, if some effort
were made by its citizens to as
sist it's growth, would furnish
one Of the most attractive spots
in New England for summer
visitors.
Practically everything which
attracts the would-be-vacation-
lists, is given by Nature to Is
land Pond, and all it needs is
little boosting from the pop
ulation, to establish its name
on the list of summer resorts.
First of all, it's greatest ad-
vantage is the magnificent
scenery. Snugly nestly in one
of the most picturesque valleys
Of a picturesque state, it is un-
rivalled in situation. We
have a beautiful lake, all sorts
of water sports, and an island
which is an admirable spot
for the erection of a summer
hotel.
There are many opportuni-
ties for fishing and camping in
the immediate vicinity, and it
has an added attraction in be-
ing a railroad centre.
Auto parties could not find
a more delightful country for
motoring, and it is an ideal
resting place for the tired bus
mess man.
If the town boasted of good
Accommodations for travellers,
and with a little advertising
and energetic boosting, we
would soon find numerous sum
mer visitors coming to Island
Pond.

WANDERER DEFENSE GIVEN AS INSANITY
Chicago Soldier Repudiates
 Murder Confession

Chicago. Oct. 21.-Lieut. Carl Wan derer took the stand yesterday after noon in his trial for the murder of his wife. her unborn child and the ragged stranger" the night of June 21 last. wanderer repudiated the | confession he made to the Chicago police that he killed his wife and an unidentified man. While he did not deny he had signed the confession attributed to him. he declared it was not true and had been made under police compulsion.
 He explained the fact that both pistols in the case had been traced 10 him by saying he had claimed the ownership of the one belonging 10 the stranger because he wished to protect his cousin, Fred wandcrer
 Asked if he had killed his wife. Wanderer answered in a firm, clear voice:
 No, sir.'
 He also denied he had quarreIIed with his wife or that he had want ed to get back into the army. He stated that he had made his confes- sion after several sleepless nights and systematic persecution by members of the homicide squad.
 Insanity is the defense put forth by the attorneys defending wanderer. pr. W. J. Hockson, head of the Chi cago Municipal Psychopathic labora- tory. was called as witness for the de- fense before Wanderer took the stand. Hc told of having examined Wander CT fin the county jail on September 2. pr. Hockson told first about the "ab- surdity" test.

Get this Little Booklet for
 your wife

, There are certain fundamental facts about coffee which it is nec- essary to understand thoroughly in order to make it properly. These facts are not generally known, so we have prepared a little booklet,
 "How I Make Perfect Coffee, '" written by a woman whose am bition 1t was to have coffee m her home as delicious as that served by the most famous hotels and restaur- ants. At last she succeeded, and m this booklet she tells her exPeri- encs and what she learned about coffee. Your wife will find it an invaluable aid in getting the e,-;or of coffee exaetly right. There arc many degrees of goodness achieved in making coffee-but there IS just one perfect way. Doubtless some little point, some little unfamiliar secret about coffee, revealed by this book, will result in your coffee be- ing better than it has ever been before. z~Ns-- + We win De glad to send this .m- teresting, illustrated

of the flood waters of the Mississippi

would save both the farming lands

probably would become a port comp

leave the main channel Towering

that one solution would be to straigh-

IE YOU STICK YOU WIN

Out of one hundred people an aver
age of three accomplish something,
achiev ca fair degree of success;
while 81 are straphangers. This is due
to the fact that 81 pc rcent of us have
wishbones instead Of backbones.
Now every American of normal in
telligence and development has the
ability, the ideas and the chance to
make an outstanding success. We have
several hundred thousand embryo mil.
lionaries VIII ohave everything but the
will power necessary to put their ideas
into action.
There's funny thing about this will
power, for when you will" it means
you won't. Willing is negative. If we
trail the matter down to the founda.
ton we find that every impulse idea
or bunch that enters the mind is acted
on Immediately unless it is stopped OF
inhibited.
This is where will power comes in.
1t steps in and keeps you from acting
on impulses.
Ordinarily it does not take any con.
seious effort to start on a piece OF
work, but pretty soon something on
the outside attracts your attention
then your will power has to arrest an
impulse you have to leave what you
are doing and act on this new idea
that promises more pleasure.

pass, line plunge, an end run and
another touchdown is scored-another
goal kicked.
PineviIle's Efforts Futile
Pineville efforts at line plunges were
futile against the strong wall Of Coach
Days aggregation. An attempted aeri-
al attack failed to bring downs. A whirl-
wind series Of end runs and line plum
ges could not. hold back the Greenland
Reds, even with two penalties from
scoring another touchdown and boot
ing another goal.
No further tally was made until near
the end of the fourth quarter, but Pine
vile did not get within the shadows of
the local goal posts.
After a succession of end runs, pass
es and plunges, the pigskin was
brought to the vineyard line. A clever
trick pushed the ball over and rolled
the score up to SO points ere the ref
eree's whistle called it day.
Broussard's Plays Real Feature
L. Broussard, scoring four of the five
touchdowns, brought the crowd to their
feet by fleet circling of the ends and
his spectacular drop kick. He showed
flashes of the work which in the South
western game made him the cynosure
Of the stands. Smith, up to his usual
standard, kicked every goal. His sue
cessful completion of the pass that
brought the touchdown in the second
quarter raised high fever'of excite
ment on the side lines. OF little less
import was the plunging of A. Brous
sard and Johnson and the squirming
and writing Of Burguieres and Barry
through the line. They were RESPONSE
BILE for a great number Of gains.
The Rioters club cheered the team
on to victory with lusty yelis and vi
rile football songs. They serpentined
around the goal posts during the hall
and buried Pineville's goat at the close
of the contest. After taps was sound
ed over the grave the final cheers
we're given which proclaimed another
victory for the Green-and-Red.
