THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE OF GAR
RISON SCHOOL.
Principal R. T. Coles, of the Gar
rison School, was asked by our re
porter the other day as to the bene
fit the girls are receiving from the
Domestic Science Department of the
school. He said, "I am well satis
fied with results thus far. That Is
one of my favorite departments of
the school and I pay a great deal of
attention to it. At present we have
about eighty-five girls taking a course
In cooking und practical house-keeping.
Miss Robinson, the efficient
teacher of that department, is thor
oughly competent and much Interest
ed lii the work. It will puy any one
to visit her clusBes and notice the
interest the girls take in the train
ing. For example the following is a
part gf the first year's course: two
lectures a week on care of kitchen
and kitchen utensils, sweeping, dust
ing, care of brooms, brushes and
dusters ; scrubing floors, window
cleaning, silver polishing, cure of din
ing room, bed room ventilation, and
care of kerosene lamps. The first
year's course In cooking, consists of
the following, cooking of simple
breakfast dishes, bread making, table
laying and waiting breakfasts. This
training has already begun to make
Itself felt in the home, For In con
versation with many mothers, of
these girls, who by force of circum
stances are compelled to spend a
great deal of time away from home,
have turned the house over entirely
to the girl and have noticed the dif
ference in interest the girl manifests
now to whut she did before having
had the training.
A few weeks ago one of the Fifth
Grade girls, without a mother, wus
ill and the teacher, with a few of
the girl's clusmutes visited her home,
took charge of the room, put to use
their knowledge of housekeeping and
ventilation and prepared dainty foods
such as cream of tomato soup and
dropped eggs on toast. This practi
cal training Is the kind all our girls
need and will do much to revolution
i.e our homes. The only regret I have
is that the work In my school cannot
be more extended."
LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES.
The enrollment of students In Lin
coin Institute has Increased steadily
will each year of President Allen's
administration. To dute is Is three
hundred and ninety-eight and both
faculty and students are eagerly
watching the arrival of the four nun
dredth student.
The summer school Is yet to be
heard from and undoubtedly the en
rollment for the year will not be far
short of five hundred.
Arrangements have been made for
midwinter clusses, as Is now the cub
torn In leading schools and colleges,
and those who find it impossible to
enter until this season of the year
need not In any sense feel that it is
time lost. To many teachers with
short school terms, such an arrange'
ment of classes will prove a great
blessing; and several who find the
summer term too short a time In
which to bring themselves up in all
of the studies they desire to take are
availing themselves of the excellent
opportunities here afforded them for
more extensive work during the mid
winter and spring terms.

A GAY LOTHAIRE.
The much touted "Christian Gentle
man," B. Allen Morris, has ruther pe
culiur records in love affairs. Al
though a twice married man, he ar
dently woes two of Detroit's blushing
maidens at one and the same time.
About a year ago a correspondent
In the Informer told In glowing terms
about the splendid Christian work a
stranger, by the namo of B. Allen
Morris, was doing among the chil
dren of his neighborhood and about
organizing them into a club and train
ing them in the noble work of the
Afaster.
Mr. Morris was to all outward ap
pearances, a gentleman of great piety
and high Christian character. No one
could blame the pretty maidens of
Bethel church for saying that Brother
Morris looked good to them, and when
two of Bethel's female members
seemed to be the elect of the polished
gentlman, they were looked upon with
envy. It was said that Brother Mor
ris had become engaged to both of
the fair young ladles, and indeed, was
about to be married to one of them
when a letter was received in this
city from Kansas City, Mo., that reads
In part as follows:
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 24, 1905.
Dear Sir: I am inquiring for my
husband. He Is quite a church work
er among the young people. His
name Is Burt Allen Morris. We were
married here in Kansas City the 29th
day of June, 1903. We moved to Chi
cago. After a month he deserted me;
then after a time he came back to
Kansas City; then he deserted me
here and went back to Detroit. Now
1 hear he is married to some woman
In Detroit. He hasn't got any divorce
from me. I am still his wife. He
was a Mason and belonged to the
Westport Lodge here, but he is sus
pended now. Will you kindly inform
me as to this woman, her name and
address. I cannot understand my hus
band's treatment of me.
The startling nature of the contents
of this letter started an investigation
that has resulted in uncovering a
rather checkered career on the part
of Morris, who only last fall matricu
lated In Wllberforce University, In
tending to enter the ministry.
Mr. Morris is alleged to have been
married In Chicago November 1, 1899,
by Rev. J. F. Thomas, and again June
29th, 1904, In Kansas City, Mo by
Rev. F. J. Peck. Deserted wife No.

At sixty only is true wisdom sound

"I'LL PAY YOU FOR THAT."
This title parable by an unknown
author teaches Its own lesson:
A hen trod on a duck's foot. She
did not mean to do It, and it did not
hurt the duck much; but the duck
said, "I'll pay you for that!" So the
duck flew at the old hen, but as she
did so her wings struck an old goose,
who stood close by.
"I'll pay ou for that!" cried tho
goose, and she flew at the duck; but
as she did so her foot tore the fur
of n cat who was Just then in the
yard.
"I'M pay you for Unit!" cried the
cut, and she started for the goose;
lull us she did so tier claw caught iu.
the wool of a sheep.
"I'll pay you for that!" cried tho
sheep, ami she rah at the cat, but as
she did so her foot hit the foot of a
dog wlio lay in tho sun.
"I'll pay you for that!" cried he
nnd jumped ut Ihe sheep; but as be
did so liis leg struck an old cow who
stood by (lie gate.
"I'll pay you for that!" cried she,
und she run at tho dog; but as slio
ill, I so her horn grazed the skin of a
horse who stood by n tree.
"I'll pay you for that!" cried bo,
and he rushed at thu cow.
Whut a noMe there was! The hot e
flew at (lie cow, and (lie cow ut tho
dog, and the dog at tho sheep, and
tile sheep at tbe cut, and Ihn cut nt
the goose, and tho goose ut the duck,
mill the duck at the hen. What a fuss
I here was! And all because tbe bell
ncehlcnliilly stepped on thu ducks'
toes.
"III! Hi! What's all this?" cried the
man who had the euro of them. "You
may stay here," ho said to the ben;
but be drove the duck to the polio

burn, the sheep to her fold, the dog
to t li house, (u, row to her yard,
