NEWBERRY FACULTY COMPLETED 1 Mr. F. W. Chapman and Mr. Virgil B. Sease Chosen to Fill the Vacancies in Corps of Instructors. At a special meeting of the standing committee of Newberry college, on Friday, July 21, the vacancies in the faculty ranks were filled. Mr. Francis W. Chapman, who was born and rear ed in this city, was elected second pro fessor in the technological department of the college. Mr. Chapman is well equipped for, this work. He graduated at Newberry college with the class of 1905, taking the degree of Bachelor of Arts. For the three years following, he was book keeper for the C. & G. S. Mower com pany. In 1908 he went to Clemson college, where he spent two years as a student, completing an electrical course. He then acceptet a position with the General Electric company, of Schenectady, N.. Y., where he is at present employed. While a student, Mr. Chapman proved himself to be young man of ability, and, with his excellent equipments, the college is fortunate in securing his services in this department. Mr. Virgil B. Sease, of Little Moun tain, S. C., also a Newberry alumnus, 1 graduating with the class of 1908, was elected as head master of the prepara tory -department. During 1908-09, Mr. Sease held the principalship of the Little Mountain high school, where he did himself and the college great hon or. - For the past year he has been with the Little Mountain bank, acting in the capacity of bookkeeper. While a. student, Mr. Sease stood at the top of his class, and since his graduation, he has fully maintained this high standing. 'Newberry college is to be highly commended upon the most excellent men she has turned out, and it is be lieved that every friend and patron o, Newberry college will join in com mending the authorities for the exce' lent judgment exercised in selectin~ these men from her flock to serve in her faculty ranks.

The bombastic style of metaphor* that used to amuse the young folks in our good parents' time is not much' in vogue today. It seems to have I been supplemented by the slang expres sions so popular of late years. There was much amusement, however, to be had from the old high-falutin expres-] sions of our ancestors, although they are sometimes made to appear quite1 ridiculoEs, as, for example, in the case1 of the pedantic young school teacher1 Iwho, with much dignity and show of erudition. requested Miss Mary Jones to "kindly curtail the superfluities of the nocturnal luminary". -As this high-sounding request wasL too big a job for Mary's mind to as similate, the pedagogue finally had to give it to her n a smaller change by asking her to snuff the candle. "The Widder Thompson", who ran a~ boarding-house for some college boys, sometimes had trouble in comprehend ing the wishes of her bombastic board ers. She finally "caught on". however, to young Smithers' meaning when he asked her to ''please circulate some of: he alimentary viands in the vicinity a >f my station," and passed him an as- tl ;ortment of edible preparations; but d Smithers almost gave her -nervous 9 )rostration once. That was when the I butt.r was out of his reach and the bread was very dry. "Iadam," he said, in his most per suasive tone, "please be so kind as to place within easy access of my digital extremities the oleaginous concrete essenc3 of lacteal fluid, with which to f lubricate the staff of life." Many of the older readers of Home and Farm remember what pleasure they used to get out of the old "con versation cards." If a young man de sired to converse with a young lady, he would hand her a card bearing the printed question: "May I have the exquisite pleasure of revolving the hub of my loquacity around the axle tree of your comprehension ?" Perhaps the young lady, to carry out the spirit of fun and frolic, would hand him a card reading something; like this: "The pendulum of your inquiry ocill ates beyond the clock case of my men tality;" or, in simple language, "I do not unde'rstand you; you are beyond my comprehension." One of the old conversation cards was intended for the timid youth who wished to accompany some pretty girl to her home. It bore the question: "May I have the extreme felicity of escorting you to your domiciliary lo cation?" The girl could answer yes by handing him a card reading: "My answer to your interrogatory is contained in the comprehensive affirm ative monosyllable," meaning the word "yes," of course. "The co mprehen sive ~ negative monosyllable, "no," could be used in case she refused his request. "In the infinitessimal subdivision of time", as the card language for "in a moment", just as "that removes the dilapidated linen from the infantile tree," as equivalent to saying, "that takes the rag off the bush." To tell one: "You have the wrong infantile porcine quadruped by the auricular organ," simply meant: "You 1 have the wrong pig by the ear;" or, in other words: "You have made a mis take." Smithers' spiel about the butter was sometimes varied into a rebuke for a presumptuous "smart Alec," thus: "You seem not to comprehend upon which side of your staff of life the oleaginous concrete essence of lacteal fluid is disseminated," which simply informed him that he did not know which side of his bread was buttered. Some of the flings of the old conver sation cards were even more severe and emphatic than the last named. For example, if a. lady had a special repugnance for some too persistent gentleman, she could convey her sen timents to him upon a card reading:] "Please take your departure to the reverberating echoes of heaven's ar tillery;" or, in other words: "Go to thunder!"' During the war a popular young lady was passing the quarters of some officers one morning, when she ob served a young lieutenant of her ac quaintance toasting a piece of bread1 upon the poinIt of his sword. She naively /remarked: "I see, Lieutenant, that you have the staff of life upon the point of death/' At a social gathering of belles and beaux a .iealous girl, in speaking to a young man about a popular maiden, spoke of her as "that red-headed, p)op eyed thing." "I think I should describe her duff erently," her companion remarked. "How?" inquired the girl. "Why, I should speak of her as the auburn-haired damsel with pro truding optics, was the response. One bombastic young 'man rather ot the worst of his efforts to "im press'' a group of loungers with his superior knowledge when he pomp usly addressed a negro butler some- I what after this style as he drove up to a livery stable: "I say, hostler, extricate this quad ruped from the vehicle; stabulate aim; devote to his ailmentary neces ities a supply of cereal nutrition ade luate to his equine demands, and when [return hither upon the next dingnal approach of Aurora's golden chariot, [will reward you with a pecuniary - ecompense amply munificent for iI our profesional care and attention." Turning to the office door, the negro shouted: - "Say. -boss, here's a Dutchman out I ere, but I dunno what he wants." . Some of the most amusing efforts at igh-falutin language have been got :en off by negroes. A story is told by :he Silverton (Texas) Enterprise about i minister who, one hot summer after- - aoon, was driving along a country road. He became very thirsty, and earing the trickling of a nearby prng, he hitched his horse and eager ty followed the sound of the dripping water. He found an old negro. sitting by the spring. "Good morning, Uncle," said the reacher. "Is this pretty good wa "Yes, sah," was the reply. "Dey in't none better. Three or four phre ologists done scandalized dis here* water and found hit was disposed of ~one sutnes . One is aurora bore- I lis, anoder is hydrophobia. and the hird one is appendicitis; but, sah, I eclar' to goodness, I done clean for ot what de odder one is; but, anyhow, [it's somethin' jest as good." JUST A LITTLE GIFT. the Present an Economical Duchess Made to Her Rich Friend. Recently when the wealthy Mlle. de L. was to be married one of our good luchesses had to m9ake her a present., lust a little present. The duchess hought it would be useless to expend nuch money for a person so rich. She :hought if she would look througi her rast mansion she would be able to find >omething.y some trinket, to which he addition of her card would give ;ufficient glory. She finally found in ier writing desk an insignificant ameo that she had once worn. The following day she received from ier young friend a letter of enthusi ;stic tianks: "Oh. you have been very I oolish! This is too, too beautiful," ?tc. "she is making sport of my little resent." thought the good duchess. Then came a second letter, this time !rom the husband who was to be: 'How can we thank you? We are de ighted! This will spoil us." "The impertinent fellow!" said the luchess. "He wants me to understand :hat I have been niggardly." Nevertheless she went to pay a visit :o the R.'s before the marriage. There, n the midst of her presents, exposed n a most prominent place, she saw the ittle cameo placed upon her card., An )ld gentleman approached her. He is i member of the Academy of Inscrip ions and Belles Lettres. "What a wonderful present you fave given these children. Mme. la Duchess," he said. "For forty years we have been seeking for this very .ameo. It is of the era of Trajan, and his trinket is valued at 200,000 !rancs." Ah, the poor duchess!-Coi de Paris. A Novel Fine. An Englishwoman in the Rivera 3tepped on the footboard of a train, ntending to enter the carriage, but ound the door locked. The train started suddenly and she recognized that she would have to travel on the ootboard until the next station was reached. A man who saw her plight :rept backward on the footboards, atepping from earriage to carriage with some peril . and supported her with his arm until the next station was reached, half an hour later.
