/ Becky Sharp was the first society
woman on nothing a year. She made
Jhe phrase famous and the fact infa-
mous. But there are circumstances
under which nothing a year can be a
blessing. ■;
The secretary of the Christian asso-
ciation at the University of Pennsyl-
vania announces that over 300 Penn-
sylvania men are already supplied
with work'to help them through their
college year. In other colleges, per-
haps in every college, men are being
so aided to get their education. -And
a surprising number of these men
have literally nothing a year besides
the income from their work.
• There will always be a serious doubt
in the mind of college men whether
working one’s way through college
really pays in the end, the Philadel-
phia Evening Ledger says. College
presidents have frequently been quot-
ed as adrising students to borrow
while they are at college so that their
minds and their time may be free for
their college work and pleasures. The
two together make up a college life.
A book education without a social edu-
cation is hardly worth having. ,
The coliege man who works hi a way
through misses much} to be sure, in
social contact, in the graceB of inter-
course #ith other men. His college is
chiefly a place for lectures and
“qxams.” The larger education he
gets, in pursuit of his tuition fees and
room rent, is hardly of the polished
and suave kind which college, shopld
bring. It differs not at &U'from what
he ‘ will meet; later on.
College as a preparation for living
ought to be broader than any one life.
As a foundation for character it ought
to be broader than any career. That
is why the man who works his way
through really loses—because he iden-
tifies college With life too soon.

Illiteracy in Texas.
We Jiave in Texas a half-
million children of scholastic
age who do not attend school.
The census enumerators found
that 42 per Cent of our chil-
dren of school age were not'
enrolled in any kind of a
school. The average annual
attendance of those who do
enter is 56 days, and we rank
forty-second with other states’
in this respect. Seven per,
cent of our white and twenty-
five per cent of our colored
population, ten years of age
and over, is unable to read
and write, and if we do not
overcome illiteracy, more rapid-
ly in the future than we have
in the past, decade, it will re-
quire three generations for all
the people to become able to
read and write.—H. N, Pope.

He Knew Their Weakness.
During the reign of Louis XV. of
France the light chaise came into fash-
ion, and great ladies of Paris were ac-
cariomed to drive in thmn about the
cHT- But beautiful hands are not al-
ways strong ones; aecidnis began to
oomir more and more frequently in the
atreeta. Consequently, says Das Buch
fuer Alla, the king besought the min-
ister of police to do something, since
the lives of pedestrians were constsnt-
Xy iff Banger.
f “I will do whatever is in my power,”
replied the . police minister- ‘Your
majesty desires that these accidents
seas*entirely r* .
The king repUed, “Certainly.”
V there appeared a royal
ordinance that ordered that, In the fu-
ture, ladles under thirty years of age
should not drive chaiaea through the
*treete of Paris. THat seems a mild
restriction; but it is said that scarcely
a woman from that Umo on drove bar
wth fibnigp. The police minister knew
that few women would care to adver-
tise the fact that they were over thirty
and that tee rest would piobdbly be
too old to drive, anyway.

Gilbert Stuart
Gilbert Stuart (1756-18*8) Was born
in Narragansett, R. L, tee son of a
snuff-grinder. At the age of fifteen,
: without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract-
s*G^the attention of % young
; artist named Alexander, who took h|m
to Scotland in 1772. In 1774 he re-
• turned to America, where he re-
mained for a yew. He went bock to
| London in 1775, and for a short time
he Played tee organ in a small church
■f*P that city. In 1778 he entered the
jateWo of Benjamin West aa a pupil,
bn* later set up a studio of hlk own,
and remained working there for some
years. He came-back to this country
once more in 1792, and painted mafay
j portraits m New York and Pbiladel-
jPhia, among them the famous “1795
Washington.’ -In the year i806 he set
tied in Boston; His fame rests large-
‘ly upon hia many portraits of Wash
ilngton. . 1

Baptist Notice
Mrs. J. P. McDowell of Port-
land will lecture at the Meth-
odist Tabernacle on Friday
evening of this week. Her Sub-
ject will be: “Building Eng-
lish.” She gave the lecture
at Gregory about a week ago
and those who heard the lec-
ture say it was Wy fine.
The proceeds will go toward
the purchase of a piano for
the new Baptist church at
Portland. I bespeak for her
a large hearing here at Sin-
ton, especially among our Bap-
tist people. Tickets on sale

grows smalls each year.
Which are you doing, Mr.
Farmer? Are you going to
sell your lan^ away in small
lots, or are you going to keep
cows and lay up riches fOr
yourself in the soil?
The South is now buying
from the North Something like
seventy-five million pounds of
butter per year- and paying
cash for it. Think of it! Ov-
er twenty million dollars, of
your money going to the North
and West and all for a pro-
duct that you could just as
well produce for yourself. Gan
it be that our enterprising
farmers and Southern business
men are overlooking such an
opportunity? No; they are
awakening to these facts and
are beginning to keep cows.
During the last two years,
the farmers of North and
South Carolina as well as Ten-
nessee and Mississippi, have
fallen in line and are now,
through the medium of cream-
eries and buying stations, pro-
ducing a great deal of butter,
but nothing like the amount
they could and should pro-
duce. In the radius of these
creameries the farmer is real-
ising from $5 to $8 per cow
per month /from their cream
alone. Some of them have but
two or three cows* but this
amount coming in every month
means a great deal to them,
and is enabling them to pay
cash for their groceries and
other incidental^ that would
otherwise be bought on credit.
A farmer with ten or twelve
cows will receive from five to
six hundred dollars per year
for cream, while at the same
time he can raise a number, of
good heifer calves and some
fine hogs on the skim milk,
besides having the farmyard
manure with which to fertilize
his crops.* You can make no
mistake, friend farmer, by go-
ing into the dairy or livestock
business, for though the work
is an all-year job, the money
comes in all the year too.
Best of all, your land will be
growing richer every year.
There is nothing that will in-
crease the value of a farm
faster than will farmyard ma-
nure, this being especially true
ton. r* ■
