HE WENT STRAIGHT HOME.
A week before the Christmas holi
days a Princeton undergraduate who
lived in Chicago wished to start home
thus gaining a week’s vacations on
the other students,says the Cleveland
Leader. He had, however, used up al
the absentees from recitations which
are allowed, and any more without
good excuse would mean suspension.
In a quandary he hit upon a solution
and telegraphed his father the follow
ing message:
“Shall I come home by the B. and
O. or shall I come straight home?’’
The answer he received read: Com
straight home.’’
An exhibition of the telegram to the
faculty was sufficient.

AN OBJECT LESSON. !
There Is a farmer in Jtowin county,
Georgia, sfcho, .aceoridng .to the Mo
bile Register, -has raised the follow
ing crops on five hundred .and four
acres of land .during the .year of 1908
Four hundred .and .thirty-one bales
of cotton, the bales averaging over
five hundred pounds each; three
thousand, five hundred .hushels of
corn, two thousand bales of hay, two
thousand bushels of potatoes and
enough peanuts in the corn field
to fatten one hundred hogs. The cot
ton, at ten cents a pound, was worth
$21,550, but it is thought to .have
brought Mr. Henderson $19yQ00 be
cause it was injudiciously sold. The
entire crop is estimated to be worth
$35,000 and the net profit of the far
mer for the single year, $22,000. Fif
teen mules and modern machinery of
the type generally used in the West,
were employed in making the crop.
The entire farm is said to be as lev
el as a floor, all stumps having been
removed from the land.
CUBA'S POOR BEGINNING.
Speaking for the struggle for office
under the new Cuban government, a
Havana newspaper says: “This strife
over public office is a shame to the
palace. All officers of secretaries of
State department seem like convents
of charity houses, where soup or
bread is distributed to famished and
desperate crowds, left destitute by
some great calamity.” It appears
that an agreement for the division of
spoils has been reached between the
parties. Each wing of the Liberals
is to have 35 per cent, while the ne
groes are to be allowed 30 per cent,
of the shares of each faction. Nevei
theless, there are not nearly enough
office s to go around. These scenes
do not offer much encouragement for
the future of Cuba. The insurrection
against Palma appeared to haev no
more partiotic basis than an inordi
nate thirst for spoils, and the new
regime evidently is well representa
tive of that insurrection in spirit, as
it is in individuals.—Buffalo Express.
I'ROPER AGE TO ENTER SCHOOL.
There has been a noticable tendency
fn this country within the last decade
or two to lower the age at which
children are limited into the public
schools. Tots of four are now eligible
to enter the kindergarten, and many
parents take advantage of this oppor
tunity to relieve themselves of the
care of their little ones for a part of
the day. This may be a good thing
for the teacher, upon whom the task
nils of molding the mind of the child,
but it is not approved by the physi
4ians. American Medicine indorses
in article from the Scentific Ameri
can contending that pupils up to nine
or ten years of age have not the
slightest conception of the subjects
studied, under the curriculum of
our public schools as at present ar
ranged, “The matter is the most se
rious defect in out public schools sys
:em,” observes the medical journal
juoted, “which in this respect really
wastes the time of the student and
the money of the taxpayers.”—Ro
chester Democrat and Chronicle.
THE FOURTEEN-INCH GUN.
Ordinance officers the world over
will watqh with interest the results
obtained from the fourtecn-inch gun,
the largest ever built by any nation
for naval use, which the Navy Depart
ment has decided to construct at the
navy gun foundry near Washington.
Our three battleships of the Oregon
type, which did good service in the
Spanish war, carries fifteen-inch guns
which, it is believed, are the largest
afloat, but it was deemed that they
had disadvantages which would be ob
viated by the twelve-inch guns with
which our battleships of later con-,
struction are equipped. In our coast
defenses are huge disappearing guns
of sixteen-inch bore made at the arm
gun factory at Waterville, N. Y_, but
they are set upon firmer foundations
than can be obtained on any float
ing craft. Probably the experiment
with the fourteen-inch naval gun is
to be made for the armament of the
big “Dreadnaught” battleships which
are building. If it proves a success
all the world’s battleships will have
to be provided with harder and
hea.vier armor.—St. Louis Republic.
WORKING IN THE DARK.
“Manufacturing and selling goods
without advertising is like winking
at a girl in the dark. You know
what you’re doing, but nobody else
does.” This testimony of an expert
advertiser, Gerald Pierce, of “What
to Eat” fame , is entitled to great
weight. It puts in concrete form the
experience of one who knows. He
does not waste any time on theories
or tan :Thetorlc, but makes his point
with *a directness, a force and native
! wit .that carry conviction. Winking
in the dark is at once unprofitable
and tantalizing; a signal that cannot
be vend, a message that never gets
started; Speak for yourself, and
speak:in no uncertain tones, is sound
commercial advice. If you don’t be
lieve iin yourself or in your goods
strongly enough to go out evangeliz
ing you are not likely to make con
verts. You are not to sit at the
receipt of custom with the manner
deprecating and ultra modest—you
should rather make a noise like a
very cyclone of success. And, since
the eyes are active as a universal
| annunciator, winking is permitted—
so it be not in the dark.-* Louisville
Courier Journal.

PETITION FOR PARDON.
To Honorable E. F. Noel, Gover
nor.
State of Mississippi.
Your petitioners, resident citizens:
of Rankin county, Mississippi, would
respectfully show unto your excell
ency: That John Wells charged
with murdering Joe Sanders, in the*
Circuit court of Rankin county, Mi**.,,
about eleven (11) years ago* at the*
August term of said court and by
agreement sentenced to imprison
ment in the penitentiary for life. That
he has served as such convict for
11 years years, and has been obedi
ent to orders and established a good
reputation for a convict. That the
man he killed had threatened to kill
him and was a dangerous and vio
lent character, and John Wells had
good reason to believe his liife was
in deadly peril. We think Wells has
been sufficiently punished under the
circumstances, and therefore pray
that he be pardoned.
