have been tried out, only to be dis

a national song which will fulfill
all desires and not one which, like
''The Star Spangled Banner" is bit

The newly elected Senator from
South Carolina, who will come to fill
the place of Senator DIAL has issued
an ultimatum about his name, and
the manner in which he wishes to
appear in the official roster. From

is known as Cole Blease, and this

"ColieN on him as pat has been
fastened on Senator Byron Patton
Harrison of Mississippi. The new
Senator is, according to the veracious
people of his State, one of the con-
spicuous converts from radicalism to
ultra ra-conservatism. AS governor he
stirred up mighty struggles in the
mil
several industrial crises. Now he
is for the highest standards of states
manship, of sustaining every article
of the Constitution against overt at
tack, and he is credited with defeat
ing his three prominent rivals-the
incumbent, Senator Dial; the Repre-
sentative from Aiken, Mr.. James F.
Byrnes, and Mr.. John MacMahan, who
had the support of the Tillman fol-
lowing-by his lofty attitude and re-
lection of personalities. The pri-
maries down in South Carolina as
sumed the vigorous aspect of chair
throwing as we'll as barbed verbal
weapons, but the former governor
made his claim with the calmneSs and
dignity suggestive of Senator Under

Mrs. Herbert Shipman, wife of the
popular suffragan bishop and eventual
heiress of the handsome Edison Brad
ley fortune. has taken to writing
drama, all in the interest of uplift-
ing modern morals, and she hopes to
produce one or two of her offerings
in the Little Theater of Madison ave-
nue.. Mrs. Horatio N Slater, for many
years denizen of the Capital, is
disproving the terms of the idle rich.
Long known as an artist, a violinist
and an interior decorator. recently
she has turned her talent to invent
ing mechanical toys and has secured
several patents on her very clever
work. Mrs. Slater's daughter Esther,
who married Mr.. Sumner Welles of
the American foreign service, and
who was recently divorced from him,
was married last week to Mr.. Joseph
Kerrigan of New York and has gone
to Aiken to remain until after

Mrs. Bishop is also filling profess

role in The Miracle" despite the

Bear hunting is now engaging the
sport lovers of Asheville, and at least
once a week gay parties go forth
after Bruin, and though not one has
yet come home with trophy, ad-'
ventures have come thick and fast
and tracks have been followed for
miles. Mr.. John w. Ingle, a promi-
nent member of the Biltmore Country
Club set the fashion by returning
from a ride in the Craggies with the
tale of meeting three bear cubs
weighing about a hundred pounds
each. An excited lot of huntsmen
mmediately set out, but Father Bear
and Mother Bear, weighing 500
pounds, more or less. set up a gallant
defense of their progeny, and it is
well known that the best trained
horses do not relish close range with
bears. and hounds cannot abide it.
So the. chase is on, for the lair of this
extensive bear family has been To-
Gated, and valiant parties are laying
plans for their capture. This makes

wild Craggies. Bear hunting is far
from ordinary even in the cane
brakes of Mississippi and the swamps
of Louisiana, where Bruin roamed
unharmed for years. President Roose-
