chidstmas Holiday Act. There is a little two-line act that -has gone from the Governor's office to the officiat files in the office of the sec retary of state. While there are only two lines in the entire act it repre sents one of the hardest and most peculiar fights of the recent session of the general assembly. Even after the hill had passed both houses there was an effort made to have the bill vetoed, but this was refused. The bill as adopted reads: An act to set apart and establish Christmas -holidays for the state in stitutions of higher learning in the state of South Carolina: Section 1, Be it enacted by the gen eral assembly of the state of South Carolina, That all state colleges shall suspend exercises-for a period not ex ceeding ten days, including the time required for going from and return ing to said colleges, said period to in elude Christmas day and New Year's day. Approved the 17th day of February, A. D. 1906. While the bill applies to all state colleges, it was intended to reach the Winthrop situation. All of the other state colle~ges -have been giving Christmas holidays along the lines in dicated in the act just adopted.

A Realistic Joke: Sir Henry Irving used to tell with clee of a joke that lie with Mr. Toole. the comedian. and a third par ty. played on one occasion at a Glas vow hotel. After their work they were sup pinr- at the hotel, and there was in the room a higli screen. The instant the waiter was .one they commenced op erat ions. They stripped the silver ware, of which there was a tolerable Isupply. from the table and placed it behind the screen. They then open ed the window and turned out the gas. and finally all got under the table. The jokers had only to remain in their eraniped position a few minutes before they heard the unsteady feet of the waiter along the passage. The darkened-room amazed him, and the cold air from-the window seemed to strike himi with affright. "Goodness!" exclaimed he. "It's thieves they are. I thocht as inucli frae the Iuiks o' them and frae their gay talk and their lauchin'. Eh. but I'm a ruined man! I wish I hadna taken the hale o' that last bottle! Here! Here! Thieves! Thieves! Mur(er! Thieves! Thieves!' And. shouting at the top of his voice, he ran out of the room and alon. the passage. The minute lie had gone the others shut the window, lit the gas, restored the silver to the table and sat around as before, enjoying a quiet eigar. Presently there was a confused murmur along the passage. It grew louder and louder, and in poured a truly motley throng, mostly half dressed, consisting of the manager. two men in bare legs and- slippers, and a lady with a blanket, caught up in the alarm of fear, followed by the agonized waiter. One man was armed with a poker. and another carried a bronze statue, ready to hurl it at the thief. As they entered the merry trio all sat back and looked at them with well feigned amazement. and Toole said to the as tonished and bewildered manager: "Do you always come in this way with your friends when a g-entleman asks for his bill'' Planting the Seed in the House.
