Sumorouj department. The Easiest Way.?A company of select colored artists was rendering a version of "Othello." The scene between tb<* Mcor and Desdemona had been reached, wherein Othello demands the handkerchief which he has given his wife as a wedding amulet. "Desdemona," he cried, "fetch me dat han'kerchlef!" But the doomed lady only babbled of Cassio, and her liege lord shouted I again: "I ast to' de second time to git me dat han'kerchief!" Still the fair one parried the issue with talk of Cassio, and the lordly Othello, now thoroughly incensed, bellowed: "Woman, fo' de third and las' time I tell you to git me dat han'kerchief! Away!" And as he was just about to open his mouth again, a big. leatherlunged patron in the top gallery shouted down at him: "Fo" de Lawd's sake, nigger, why doan' you wipe yo' nose on yo' sleeve an' let de show go on!"?Judge's Library. Convincing Enough For Him.? Appropos of his great love for horses, the Earl of Haddington told a capital story at an agricultural dinner some time ago. Having purchased a carriage horse to match one he already possessed, a day or two later he asked his groom what he thought of the new arrival. "Weel, sir," was the reply, "he's a gran'-looking horse, but he's a wee bit touchy 1' the temper." "What makes you say that?" 'Weel, he didna seem to tak' kindly to anybody, sir. In fact, he dinna like me to gang inta his box to feed him." "His surroundings are strange to him," suggested his lord ship. "I don't think there is anything wrong with his temper." "I didna either at first, sir," replied the groom, "but he kicked me clean oot of the box twice, an' when ye come to think aboot it. that's sort o' convlncln'."?Tit-Bits. His Nose For News.?A cub reportter on a Pennsylvania paper was sent out by the city editor to get a story on the marriage of a young society girl and a man well known in the city. The "cub" was gone about an hour and then returned and went aimlessly over to his desk, by which he sat down. Shortly afterward the city editor noticed his presence and his evident idleness. "Here, kid!" shouted the superior. "Why aren't you at work on that wedding?" "Nothing doing," replied the boy. "Nothing doing! What do you mean? Didn't the wedding take place?" "Nope. The bridegroom never showed up, so there ain't nothln' to write." Out of Order.?Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, the noted Philadelphia golfer, told a golf story at a luncheon In Haverford. "A man," she said, "was golfing at Bala. He was a poor golfer, and near-sighted to boot. "How far is It to the next hole, caddie?" he said, about half way round. "A good drive and a put," the caddie answered. "The man made a tremendous drive, lumps of turf rose up like frightened birds, but the ball only rolled a few yards across the grass. "Tut, tut," said the caddie, "you've played the put first, mister."?Detroit Free Press. "Dis-a-range.'*?At a city night school where an exceedingly mixed class, composed of Russian Jews, Italians, Slavs and Frenchmen, was trying to attain some facility with the English language, one bright young man from .Naples distinguished himself above all the others. The problem set before the class was to write a paragraph containing the word "disarrange," and he wrote: "My wife she gef up in the morn ing and she cook the breakfast ror me; and when she try to light the stove, he would not burn and she say, "I don't like disarrange."?Youth's Companion. Deserted.?"Do you say your husband deserted you?" said the judge to a lady applying for a separation order from her husband. "Yes, my lord." "Please tell the court as concisely as you can how he deserted you." "Two months after we had completed our honeymoon he scolded me because he thought I was extravagant in the matter of getting clothes, and I went home to my people." "Yes. Proceed." "Well, I waited and waited and waited for him to come and beg me to return to him, and he never did!" ?London Telegraph, Fishing In Palestine.?One of Private John Allen's favorite stories is about a Georgia bishop. One of the members of the bishop's church met the reverend gentleman one Sunday afternoon and was horified to find the bishop carrying a shotgun. "My dear bishop," he protested, "I am shocked to find you out shooting on Sunday. The apostles did not go shooting on Sunday." "No," replied the bishop, "they did not. The shooting was very bad in Palestine, and they went fishing Instead."?Cleveland Leader. No Tangling.?Walter was an im-J ror'ani witness and one of the lawyers after cross examining him severely said: "Your father has been talking to you and telling you how to testify, has he?" "Yes," said the boy. "Now," said the lawyer, "just tell us how your father told you to testify." "Well," said the boy modestly, "father told me that the lawyers would try to tangle me. but if I would just be careful and tell the truth I could tell the same thing every time." The lawyer didn't try to tangle that boy any more. What the Doctor Did.?Gustavo Ullyatt has a little daughter who hasn't been well recently. The other day a physician was called to the Ullyatt home to see her. He examined the child with the aid of a stethoscope. When heir father came home that evening he asked what the doctor had said. "Nothin.' " replied the little girl. "What did he do?" asked Mr. Ullyatt. "He jist telephoned me all over," was the child's reply.?Denver Post. NEPOTISM IS CHARGED. [Continued from First Page.] shall be allowed their actual expenses for not exceeding two meetings in one year while engaged in the duties of the board imposed upon them by this article." (See code of 1902, section 1312.) In 1908-1909 the board of trustees met on: July 14, 1908; September 1, 1908; December 9, 1908; March, 1908. In 1909-1910 the board of trustees met en: March. 1909: July 8, 1909: August 12, 1909; September 15. 1909: December 2, 1909. Special attention Is called to the clause in the above extract from the code in regard to the expenses of the tmctooj whilp pneneed in transacting the business of the college. And the committee of the general assembly is directed to the vouchers turned In by the member from Pendleton for his expenses, who comes to the college In his buggy and has his horse fed by the college, and the expenses of the members from Greenville and from Walhalla. The expenses of the last two are reasonable. The comparison is Interesting on the question of expenses. (See pages 131, 132, 133, 134, 135 of Annual Report of the College Treasurer, a copy of which accompanies this paper.) Charges Nepotism. Nepotism is a serious drawback to good and efficient growth in the college, and there should be some remedy for this evil. The following trustees have relatives on the official force of Clemson Agricultural college: R. W. Simpson?Three sons-in-law on the faculty. W. W. Bradley?A brother on the faculty. J. E. Wannamaker?A brother-inlaw on the faculty, a nephew on the station staff; a niece in the office of the president; a relative In the treasurer's office. W. D. Evans?A son In the treasurer's office; a son holding the position of fertilizer inspector. Alan Johnstone?A nephew on the faculty. Three other members of the college force are supposed to be related to trustees by marriage; but I am not in possession of accurate information on this score. Since the college was opened for students, In 1893, the board of trustees has appointed twenty-one of Its relatives to important positions in the college. There are now eleven relatives on the present force. The board has also appointed two of its members to good salaried places in the institution within the past eight years. The practice of nepotism has caused much of the troubles and disturbances during the administration of my predecessors and during my term of service as president. As an evidence of the wilting influence nepotism has on the official action of the board of trus[ tees, I will cite three instances which came in my own experience in my efforts to equip the college with strong and capable officers; March, 1908, I recommended to the board of trustees | a list of mathematical experts for the J chair which had been vacated by the death of Prof. P. T, Brodle several months before. I headed this list with the name of Dr. Otto Dunkel, who was then associate professor of mathematics in the University of Missouri, (See attached letter from Dr. Dunkel.) Dr. Dunkel was a naive of Virginia, a graduate of the University of Virginia with the degree of master of arts, a graduate of Harvard university with the degree of doctor of philosophy, and also a graduate In mathematics In Gottengen university of Germany. He spoke German and French fluently and had a reading knowledge of Spanish and Italian. While abroad he studied mathematics under some of the best mathematicians both in Germany and in France. There were two other strong men on my list, but I endorsed as my first choice Dr. Dunkel. At Professor Martin's request I submitted his application to the board for the chair. I did not consider Professor Martin equal to Dr. Dunkel in mathematical training. After several ballots the board failed to elect any one, and after transacting other business adjourned to meet in July, at which time Professor Martin was elected, although Professor Dunkel's name was submitted by me again. Professor Martin is a son-in-law of R. W. Simpson, the former president of the board and a life trustee. My work for the college from that time became greatly nampered and Interrupted by serious difficulties thrown In my way by the friends of Mr. Simpson on the board of trustees. Professor Martin was elected assistant professor of mathematics before I became president of the college. His Recommendations Ignored. In 1908 I recommended to the board the election of a chemist for the expert on the station staff. My list contained a gentleman who had received fifteen years' training in chemical experiments and was familiar with difficult station researches. A nephew of a member of the board was nominated by Mr. Simpson and was elected In a few minutes afterwards. This nephew was but recently graduated from Clemson and was without experience concerning station experiments. He was a bright young man, but could not in any particular compare with the gentleman whom I had nominated, in age. experience and educational advantages. In my efforts to control my stenographer, who is a niece of a trustee, I wa3 greatly embarrassed by the board stepping In and siding with her in her insubordination. I found her in the office when I accepted the presidency in 1902. She has been given leave of absence until the new president shall be elected, and the inference is that she will be returned to the president's office with a salary increased from $650 to $900. Because of this action of the board last September I have been unable to secure a competent assistant who will consent to take the position with the uncertainty hanging over it. I have appointed eight young men since last September, but all have declined after looking into the situation. I have called the attention of the board to this unfortunate condition, but it has declined to reconsider its determination to have the niece returned to the president's office after I retire. While I was in controversy with the last commandant in the matter of wno should discharge the duties of the pres ident's office, Kev. coke u. Mann, a member of the board of trustees, published an article in the newspapers condemning me in my efforts to control the affairs of the college, and yet he had not availed himself of the opportunity to inform himself concerning my side of the matters under consideration. Mr. Mann was on. the jury which was afterwards called on to decide on the merits of the case. By his conduct he had rendered himself unfit to sit on the case, but he took part in the discussions which occurred in the board and cast his vote against me in the final action of the trustees. The voting of $4,000 to compensate members of the board of trustees (with their law partners) for defending the college in the dike litigation is worthy consideration by the committee of the general assembly. Agricultural Courses Cut. In my efforts to develop the college into a high-grade institution of science, engineering and agriculture. I had worked out, with the assistance of my faculty, seven courses of study for the students to pursue, and three of the.-e were for the agricultural students. But the trustees at their meeting in December last cut out all but one of these agricultural courses, because they thought the Farmers' Union demanded such to be done. When I tendered my resignation, in July, 1909. the board of trustees was informed that my reasons for resigning were because: 1. The frequent interference in the administration of the college affairs by the trustees. 2. Selecting the officers of the college without allowing the president a large share in determining who shall fill these positions. This will avoid nepotism. 3. The need of a reorganization of the military department so that the recent attitude of the last commandant again't the president may not again occur. The board of trustees refused to ac cepi my if.Mgiiuuun nuu ..... ... ineft in August. Before adjourning, however, it passed the following res| olutions: "That a committee of three be ap pcinted by the chairman to take into consideration the revision of the bylaws, and, in consultation with the president of the college, report such changes as in their judgment are necessary to secure the following results: 1. Define the powers and duties of the president of the college, so that he shall be the absolute head of the college, to be held responsible for its satisfactory working and success. 2. To define the relation of the trustees of the college and their duties as inspectors and legislators, seeking to secure the best results at a minimum of expense; the idea being that the trustees shall direct and control the policy of the college under general rules and regulations, while the faculty shall carry them out under the orders of the presi (leni UI me CUIICgr, mm sunn oiuiic a\.i as the intermediary between the trustees and the various heads of departments, and shall be held responsible for results. 3. To secure the co-ordination and co-operation of the various departments of the college with a view to economy and efficiency and a clear definition of duties of the various officers of the college." Mr. Alan Johnstone, the chairman, appointed on this commltee the following trustees: Senator B. R. Tillman, Messrs. R. W. Simpson and W. W. Bradley. Copy of the by-laws accompany this paper showing in red ink my recommendations to the committee when It met in August for the revision. These bylaws were finally adopted as printed by the board of trustees at its last meeting, December, 1909. The Loyal Members. I desire to say to the committee of the general assembly that the following members of the board of trustees have stcod by me in my efforts to build Clemson Agricultural college into a high-grade Institution of agriculture, engineering and science-, viz.: Senator B. R. Tillman, Messrs. R. E. Bowen, M. L. Donaldson, B. H. Rawl, Jesse H. Hardin, John G. Richards. Mr. R. I. Manning has been on the board of ?n short a time I cannot sneak intelligently concerning his probable attitude on the questions disturbing the I college. I believe, however, that he will take a station with the gentlemen | mentioned above in all those matters which are for the well-being and best Interests of Clemson Agricultural college. Mr. J. E. Wannamaker has on many occasions supported the pre3i| dent in his plans for the best interest of the college; like the other gentlemen. he is an independent thinker, as he should be, but I think his sympathy has been with the president when he thought thi3 officer was right. Mr. Wannamaker, however, has several relatives on the college force and I do not know what would be his attitude if the test was made. In submitting this paper 1 wish it to be distinctly understood that I have endeavored to withdraw all personality from the accounts I have given, and I would be greatly disturbed if I thought that I had said anything which would bring trouble upon innocent parties. I desire also to say that my colleagues on the faculty and on the college force of officers have stood by me loyally in the work of the college, and I have no. criticism to make against any one of these gentlemen; they are all loyal to the college and its interests. If the evils. I have tried to relate in this paper are corrected I am confident Clemson Agricultural college will grow into the finest institution in the entire south. Respectfully, P. H. MELL. LANOES SHEPHERDS. French Peasants Who Are Experts In Walking on Stilts. There Is a vast district In France where the entire community goes about and transfers its business on stilts. This district is called "Les Landes." The inhabitants, who are among the poorest peasants in France, gain their subsistence by fishing, by such little agriculture as is possible and by keeping cows and sheep. The shepherds make use of their stilts for two pur poses?first, because wanting is qunc Impossible on account of the sage and undergrowth of brush, and, second, because the height of their stilts gflves them a greater range of vision. The stilts generally are about six or seven feet high. Near the top there is a support for the foot, which has a strong stirrup and strap, and still nearer the top a band of leather fastens the stilt firmly to the leg. Just below the knee. Some stilts, especially those made for fancy walking and for tricks, are even higher than seven feet, and the man who uses these?and he must be an expert?can travel as fast as ten miles an hour. The lower end of this kind of stilt Is capped with a sheep bone to prevent its splitting. Some of these Landes shepherds are wonderfully clever In the management of their stilts. They run races, step or jump over brooks, clear fences and walls and are able o keep their bal ance and equilibrium while stooping to the ground to pick up pebbles or to gather wild flowers. They fall prone upon their faces and assume their perpendicular without an effort and in a single moment after they have thus prostrated themselves.?Technical World Magazine. CHINA'S FORESTRY. Awakened Orientals Taking Inter est In Conserving Tree Life. In a portion of the Chinese Empire ?a country whlc Is so often cited as an example of the evil of deforestation?earnest efforts are now being made to re-establish a forest cover by planting. The work Is being carried on under the supervision of the Germans, says Harper's Weekly. When Tslngtau was occupied by the Germans ahout eleven years the hills were found bare and barren. with only a sporadic growth of scrub pine and weeds. Plans for reforestation were at once made and about 2,695 acres have already been planted. About half of this Is planted in acacias, the balance In pine, larch, walnut, oak, ash, maple and alder. So successful has this planting been that the point has already been reached where the sale of timber can be made. It is particularly remarkable that this work should have been so successful in view of the difficulties to which the plantation was subjected. The rainfall is light and lack of moisture considerably retarded the development of the trees. By far the worst enemies, however, were insects. Various species of caterpillars and other insects have been so destructive that thousands of Chinese boys and women are now engaged annually to destroy them. Various measures of prevention have been tried, such as placing girdles of glue on the trees, but these have not been effective, and it was found necessary to resort to a systematic destruction of the insects by hand. Acacias appear to with- ] Istand the attacks of the insects better than any other species, and the ' summits of the mountains are now being planted with these trees in an effort to check future destruction. In addition to these enemies, Chinese thieves nrp another source of diffl" culty, and on one occasion a band of thirty-six thieves was captured In the act of stealing wood. , In spite of these drawbacks, however, the work has been so success- ' ful that the Chinese government is now undertaking forestry schemes ( in a number of places under advice from German experts. This work 1 centers about Mukden, Manchuria, i where success has already been obtained with acacias, and experiments ] are now being made with other trees. , The first Chinese forest school was established at Mukden two years ago. i Six hundred and twenty-five acres have already been set apart for cul- . tivation. and 24,710 acres are to be purchased for afforestation.

We too often think of service to Christ as something mystical and imaginary. The text given above teacheB that Christ is here living in men. and when we minister to the needs and want3 of suffering humanity we are ministering to Him. It should be remembered, however, thut Christ was speaking, in this scrip- 1 ture, particularly to His disciples. They were already His disciples and service did not make them so. The basis of their acceptance as disciples was their love for and trust in Christ. So'service does not make us disciples of Christ, but it is the test of our discipleship. The great Joy of Christian life is in ministering to Chri3t, vicariously, through his suffering brethren. "For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thlr3ty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was In priron, and ye came unto me." Think of the opportunities we have to minister to Christ in thi3 way, and thus testify by our works our love to Him. The world wonders why men and women will give up friends and loved ones and all the comforts of a Christian home and go to a strange country, among a strange people who are repulsive to all that is pure, who are vile and full of sin and hate, and spend their lives there ministering to their wants of every kind, suffering insult for their kindness and many times giving their lives as sacrifices; and they wonder on till they are' brought to see Christ as their Saviour. Then every cry of the helpless and suffering will he to them the call of their Saviour. 1 am not trying to suggest anything new, the object of this paragraph Is to urge all Christians to open their eyes to see the needs, and unstop their ears to hear the cries of all suffering humanity at home and abroad, and to realize more fully that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Macaulay, in his essay on Milton, says: "Anosto tells a story cf a fairy who, by some mysterious law of her nature, was condemned to appear at certain seasons in the form of a foul, poisonous snake. Those who injured her during the period of her disguise were forever excluded from participation in the blessings which she bestowed. But to those who, in spite of her loathsome aspect, pitied and protected her, she afterwards revealed herself in the beautiful and celestial form which was natural to her. accompanied their steps, granted all their wishes, filled their houses with wealth, made them happy in love and victorious In war." So what Is done to Christ in His disguise and lowly form, of the poor and sick of earth, Is a test of our charac- ( ter and of our love, and will be rentn n?> J KloOOO/1 Ku Him tL'hPTl comes in His glory.?Rev.

The power and influence of women in the state's educational affairs was 1 demonstrated in Kansas l&st week, when 5,000 teachers had their annual meeting. Nearly three-fourths of them were women, says the New York Sun. The first day brought together the county superintendents, Gov, Stubbs and other state officials who have not kept themselves informed on the progress women are making in this state as officeholders were amazed to learn that forty-one of the 105 were women. m' J--- S^I1/vn.lM/v f non 9 ft AO nf ine uay luuuwiug muic umu ?,??? v( the brightest young women of the . state 'marched into the city to have a voice in the annual meeting of school teachers. Five hundred of them ar- ^ rived by special train at 1 a. m., finding hotels and boarding houses packed with earlier arrivals. It was too late to find shelter in the homes of Topeka for that nignt, but these women were equal to the emergency, "Open your churches," they said, "and we will sleep in the pews." More than 200 were thus accommodated. Sixty-two women hold county offices by election In Kansas, many of ' them having been elected for their third and fourth term. Many women hold elective municipal offices, but a list of these is not obtainable. The women have a notion that they j can fill purely clerioal places as well ' as .men, and the office of register of < deeds in each county appeals to them. , Seven women have already been elect- , ed to the offloe in Kansas, and it is < estimated that at least twenty-five will j flonHiHatM in other counties next , year. 1 Five women hold the offloe of clerk of the district court, and their records are models of neatness and accuracy. Four are county clerks. Three are county treasurers. One woman Is a county commissioner far out In Wichita county. Miss Minnie Llpper was elected to this office beeause of her ' business ability. Mrs. Mary J.
