MERCEDES, April 20. - Rare,
indeed. Is the vacationist who meets
with the good fortune that seems
to have been the tr~eaSure-trove that
awaited B. T. Calfee Of Mercedes. a
youth in his early twenties. who. af-
ter some twenty years in Texas, had
an intense longing to return to the
scenes Of his birthplace and child
hood in the grand old state of Ala
bama. county Of Coosa.
Little did B. r. think when he left
the Valley and Mercedes some six
weeks ago. on his belated trip TO
visit the old plantations and homes
Of his forefathers, that there in the
attic Of the old homestead Of his
great grandfather, Lieutenant James
Vansanzt. which still stands intact
on the estate. though unoccupied for
the past fifty years. he would find
rich treasure in rare old coins, valu-
able stamps, currency and docu-
ments and newspapers which give a
string account Of the more mo-
mentous days and times Of the
Southland. experienced by those who
lived in that part of Alabama dur
ing the war Of the Confederacy.
Young Calfee. son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
w. B. Calfee. who have operated an
irrigated farm near Mercedes for
the past five years, has just returned
from a six weeks vacation and has
brought with him some thirty pounds
Of these rare old relics. Notable
among the relics found were legal
documents and personal letters in
volving close relations between lead
ing personages Of pre-civil war DAYS,
extending through that master
struggle between the states, and
past Civil War days and reconStruc-
ton times. Not the least of these
are personal letters revealing rela-
tons with the president Of the Con-
federacy. Jefferson Davis, and other
notableS of that era.
The old home place, built Of square
hewn logs a foot or more in thick
ness. which compose the supporting
walls Of this two-Story old southern
plantation home Of considerable pro-
portions, is covered with axe-hewn
handmade shingles and has with
stood the disintegrating elements

WITH a full schedule of examipa.

WITH a full schedule of examina-
tions occupying the attention of
both the Law School and the School
Of Economics and Government last
week, National University tomorrow
enters upon its annual Christmas and
New Year holidays.
The forthcoming holidays consti-
tute the only real break in the years

nual Winter term, which opens jan
uary 2, 1896.
The beginning of the Winter term
will witness the Inauguration of Prof.
0. l.. Mohundro's new course in Mo-
tor Carrier Law" which was presented
as a special course during a portion
Of the recent Fall term. The interest
shown in that course. as manifested
by the advance enrolment, indicates
to university officials that Mr.. Mohun-
dro's lectures will be heavily attended.
Increasing interest in the subject of
motor carrier regulations as a result
OF the ever-increasing volume of motor
traffic in interstate commerce. to-
gether with consequent advance in
the number of legal cases involving
motor vehicles, produced the demand
for the course which Mr.. Mohundro
is presenting.
Himself an examiner in the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, MIR. Mo-
hundro wrote a 700-page book for
use in his class. More than TOO cases
are treated in the work, which also
presents a complete history of the in
terstate commerce laws.
Many National University students
are taking advantage of the holiday
period to visit their homes in the
States, while others, who live too far
distant to return home, are using the
available hiatus in research in the
univerSityS richly stocked library. Ma
tionars law library is one of the most
complete in the Capital and it an
