"BoNHoMIE" OUT.

Greenville, S. c., August 49,
The 1921 edition Of "The Bonhomie"
Furman> University's annual is
Just off the press and copies are be-
ing mailed by the publishers to sub
scribers, most of whom are students
now at heir homes in widely scatter
ed towns and cities of South Caro-
lima and other states.
Though the annual was due to ap-
pear prior to the closing Of the uni
versity for the summer vacation, the
delay in it's appearance is more than
offset by the exquisite quality, ap-
pearance and get-up Of the publica-
ton. 1t is by far the handsomest
number of "The Bonhomie" ever
published, and would do credit to a
much larger institution than Furman
University. Bound In rich, brown
leather, with lettering in gold, the
publication is done In several colors.
Borders Of all pages are in purple,
which with the white background of
the paper, making up the college
colors-purple and white.
The publication consists of five
books, as follows: university,
Glasses, Athletics, Organizations
Miscellaneous, Illustrations Of prin-
cipal buildings on the campus are
printed in sepia ink, on buff paper,
presenting a most pleasing appear
ance. Cuts of members of the Sen
ior class show a distinct departure
from the usual style appearing in
college ANIMALS. They are done in
sepia ink and printed on a hand
some grained paper.
An interesting and unique innova-
ton is the department of Carolina
Bellies" in which full-page portraits
of ten we'll known South Carolina
young women appear. These prints
are done in sepia ink on grained
paper. Each portrait is set in hand
some frame, and the page bordered
in purple. .
The whole publication is replete
from front to back with illustrations,
the engraving being Of an excellent
and artistic order. Each book or de-
partment of the annual is market by
its own title page, these being Of a
heavy, green paper and each bearing
an artistic sketching appropriate to
the department it introduces. The IL
lustrations of buildings as we'll as
the "cuts' of members of the facul-
ty are made from new photographs
of these subjects.
The 1921 iBonhomie is dedicated
to DIR. Orlin Ottman Fletcher, pro-
fessor of philosophy and social sci
ence.

cARUso COLLECTED COINS
Great Tenor's Hobby Was Gathering
Gold Money.

From the New York Sun.
Enrico Caruso adhered to the Law
which many great physicians say op
crates in the lives Of most happ!
men. He had hobby, more than one
perhaps, but one at least which af
forded him much entertainment.
In his apartment at the Knicker
booker Hotel he kept an enormous
collection of rare gold coins. From
one dealer alone in New York he hae
purchased about $4,000 worth Of
these coins and he had made large
purchases abroad. Few people knew
about this hobby of the great singer
but some of his intimates sometimes
were permitted to look over the pre-.
cious coins with their owner.
The coins were kept in cabinet
each filed in its own small envelope.
From these receptacles Caruso would
draw glittering minted pieces of vir-
gin gold; some of them as large as
the palm could hold, and others as
tiny as a child's nail, but all in some
way noted and desirable from the
collectors standpoint.
"He collected American, Roman
and Italian gold coins principally" !"
said William Duke, representative Of
Joseph F. Negreen, dealer in stamps
and coins, who had often called up
on Caruso with some rare piece
which the singer desired to add to
his collection. ellis most valuable
coin was the $50 slug, which was is
sued in California in 1851 in, COM
of gold craze. The coin
is of pure gold with no alloy. The for
ty-Niners used to stow this coin
away in their pockets and feel that
it was substantial guarantee against
going broke. Mr.. Caruso had the oc-
tagonal coin, which is now worth a.
bout s400.
"The smallest gold coin in the col
ection is a rs cent gold piece, which
was issued as an Alaska-Yukon COM
coin in 1909. There were
also so cent coins of this type. .
Another rare American coin which
ne possessed was the 81 gold piece
ssued in 1897. Two silver dollars,
,alled Gloria and Metric were Is
sued at the same time. The set is
worth s16O now. Mr.. Caruso was
greatly pleased when he bought the
get to find that one of the silver
pieces was called Gloria as was his
little girl. .'
'sHe also had "a of the St. Gaudens
we're edged $40 gold pieces issued in
1907. In God We Trust was left off
IF these coins, and partly because of
his and partly because they wouldn't
stack properly at the banks, owing to
The raised figure, they were . soon
from circulation.
'He had about so of the gold SIS
and $40 pieces issued from 1895 to
1907 whose popularity was that they
bore no denominations. The SIS pieces
were as large as our $40 pieces today
and the $40 pieces as large as our
$40 pieces. His collection also in
cldued the Lewis and Clark dollar,
the Mckinley dollar, the Panama
Pacific set including coins Of vari-
Gus denominations, and the oblong
Kohler $40 dollar piece issued in
California in 1850. Almost all the
coins which Caruso collected were
gold, but he had few silver coins
also, among them the Jewish shekel
made by, hand more than 500 years
before the birth of Christ"

Zimmerman first came to Indiana Har~
Dor extensively for the purpose of giving

Being an honest merchant and a firm
believer in the one-price-to-all rule. he
soon gained the patronage of the buying
public.
Thus his business grew by leaps and
bounds. his them small store on Michf-
gan avenue became smaller and smaller
IN supplying his needs. With the pass
ing Of years. Mr.. Zimmerman. conceived
the idea, that a first class department
store, with q good line Of quality goods,
could be made paying proposition, be-
sides being q valuable asset to the COM
n1unity.
Ten months ago. Mr. Zimmerman. with
his sons. began the erection OF a mod
ern two-story brick building al s424-
s426 Michigan avenue at cost Of over
100000. This amount is exclusive OF
the fixtures, which have been installed
throughout the entire store at a cost OF
$4,000.
Two months. Mr. Zimmerman ad-
snited TO the firm. Mr. Kahan. known as
one Of Gary's first Merchants. who made
