Jignified the office of vicc president / IridcV "X hr*"tlcr than anybody .r-,z ? r.:iJ t'irn brfrging humor an^d :o"jrtesy to it. He plans to go upon the Chautau qua c:rcuit and he will be a headlin ar. An examp'.ej?f his facility in meet ing any situation, awkward or un pleasant, is shown'by two of his prize stories. He was in a company of ju bilant Republicans who were glokting over the late election landslide. The gloats grew more and more pronounc | ed and the dreams of future more and more rosy. Then Marshall wac given a chance. He said: "Well, you folks are feeling migh ty cockey. That's all right. You're telling what you are going to do. That's all. right. Dream on. Only you sort of remind me of the colored boy, homeward bound from France, who leaning on the ship's rail, said to hisf black buddy: "Boy, when k.'gits ashore do you know what I'm gqin' to do? Well, I'm agoin' to git me a white hat an' white pants, an' white gloves, an' a white vest an' I'm goin' to walk right up Fifth avenue with a white gal on each arm. What are you agoin' to do, boy?" "Well," sa:d the other, 'I reckon I'll git me a black coat, an' black pants, an' a black tie, an' black shoes an' tie some crepe on my left arm, an* be all ready to go to yo' funeral.' "But," continued the vice presi dent, "I shouldn't tell that story. In fact I shouldn't say anything. We Democrats shouldn't talk just .now. No, we are like the colored congre gation that ran short of communion wine. "They asked one of the sisters who was especially skilled in some of the more modern domestic arts and science to manufacture a supply. She couldn't get her usual ingredi ents so she made her wine out of persimmons?green persimmons. It was good stuff. It had a kick. But af ter communion the congregation j was so puckered it had to whistle the doxology. ' That's us. If we can't sing we can whistle." SAFE-GUARDING FRUIT. Clemson College, February?The occurrence of destructive frosts dur ing the blooming season is one of the most discouragjng'factors which fruit growersSwive to contend with in this 3tate. Experiments in frost preven tion were undertaken to a limited ex tent during the past season, by the! horticultural division of the South Carolina Experiment Station. Thej spraying of the trees with whitewash and other mixtures was found to be without effect in delaying the open ing of the buds or the period of bloom. Orchard heating by means of small open fires at frequent intervals through the orchard was practiced on two occasions. In this way it was found possible to raise tjtfi tempera ture in the orchard from two to three degrees. The method of ,pruning was found to have considerable effect upon the production of a crop following frosts in Jhe blooming season. Those peach trees the tops of which were left rather dense have produced a satisfactory crop of fruit while those that were severely pruned gave little j or no fruit. In the former case much j of the fruit was on the inner portion of the tree or near the base of the fruiting branches where the blossoms were somewhat protected from cold air or excessive radiation of heat. Moreover, the greater number of blooms resulting from the enlarged fruiting surface increases the chance for a crop. ' PIECE CUT OUT OF PAPER II is a dangerous thing for a man to bring home a daily paper with an item clipped out. His wife will no tice that column and that spot in the column immediately. "What was it that you cut out 1 here?" she asks. "Oh, it wasn't much of anything, j Just a little item that caught my ; eye. I cut it out and left it on my ; desk in the office." j That does not satisfy her. She i wants to know what the item was ! about. She is not easily satisfied, i That item must have been a particu* tj&l .rV in? lar good one or it would not have in terested you so much; and now, you can hardly give an intelligent idea of what it was about! Men are very stupid. , There are, as I take it, two good reasons behind this interest which we must all confess in the little square hole in the paper where a clipping has been cut out. In the first, place, the mind demands com pleteness, and the hole is direct evi dence of vacuity. Nature abhors a vacuum. Tf the paper were complete we might skim over the page and never notice that item,* but we can not fail to see the hole. The other reason is that we have a right to be intersted in what man ifestly has interested some one else. Someone must have thought that was a ffood item, or he would not have gone to the trouble of cutting it out. It is a' fair assumption that that item was the best thing there was in the paper. v There is in Springfield, 111., a single file of a paper which has been published continuously in that city since the day of Abraham Lin coln. It was originally the office file and #ow it is in the State Historical Library. On a certain page an item is missing. There is reason to believe that Lincoln himself wrote that item, for he was a close friend of the editor, Mr. Francis,' and a fre quent contributor of signed and un signed artices in the Journal. It is believed, also, that Lincoln himself cut the article out. A great many people have specula ted about that article, which was a short one, and why Lincoln was sorry he wrote it; for it is assumed that he changed his mind and wished he had not written it. jBut no or e can be quite cejrtain. All that lies be hind these opinions is a vague ru mor and a hole. A hole in the center of a newsp;i irrfttinil /vP a crr\r rl deal of speculation* N- V SANTUC ^/L0CAL3 V Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
