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''
