This morning Jordan, \vuo is a brother of the school commissioner of Columbia county, began acting queerly about 10 o'clock. Neighbors noticed that he was drilling up and down his front yard with his wife, carrying a shotgun over his shoulder. J. E. Beale, an intimate friend, wfao was supposed to have a strong influence over Jordan stopped, engaged the crazed man in conversation, gave him a chew of tobacco, and started to walk away. When he had proceeded only a few steps Jordan fired on him, part of a load of buckshot taking effect in the back of the neck. Jordan "u modfl "hie wife 2TO into the LU^LL VWi/ ixxuuv, mak/ .. - - w house with him and in a short time shots and screams were h?ard. It was known that two little children were in the house with Jordan and this wife and when, later, Jordan again appeared in front of his house, it was believed he had killed his wife . and both children. Balked the Crowd. A crowd from the town formed and attempteed to get Jordan, who threatened the first who came within gun shot distance. Finally, when ho went within doors, a number of people, armed with rifles, drew near enough * to fire on the house and stood guard while Tulian J. Zachary crawled up and discovered the fact t&at the two little children were alive. He enticed the little girl, between 9 and 10, to him in the back yard, and induced her to call the smaller child out. The moment the children were out of the way the crowd began firing into the house and when no reply came the house was rushed at 5.30 this afternoon. Jordan was found lying in one of the rooms with oue side of his head literally shot away by a load of "buckshot from his own gun, which lay beside him. Mrs. Jordan's nude body, witfa a wound in the stomach, vas found hidden between two mattresses in one of the bed rooms. MISS RECEPTION. Capita1 Circles Mourn Annual Handshaking-.?Breakfast by Bryan. Washington, Jan. 1.?Osew Year's day in the capital passed over without a White House reception for the first time in more than a century? for the first time since the day of President Monroe. In the absence of President Wilson, taking a holiday vacation in tine South, a 'breakfast to the diplomatic f corps by Secretary and Mrs. Bryan was the principal social function of the day. More than 300 guests gathered with the secretary of State at his home. Practically all the ambassadors, ministers and members of the emoassy and legation staffs witlh the women of their families were present. TTiere were a few exceptions, among them the Turkish ambassador, who is in mourning. The French ambassador, Jules Jusserand, has become the dean of the corps during tne last year since uie departure of tne former ambassador from Great Britain, James Bryce. Two Furnish Cheer. Secretaries Daniels and Garrison kept open house all day and. much of the splendor and brilliancy which usually attends the 'visit of army and navv officers to the White House was transferred to their homes. Ore of the largest receptions of the day was at Speaker Clark's home, where Miss Genevieve Clark, the only daughter of the speaker and Mrs. Clark, made her formal bow to society. The informality of the Bryan breakfast was a feature. None of the members of the diplomatic corps appeared k in uniform, but the sombre convenmL tional garb of the men and many r handsome gowns of the women presented a brilliant scene none the afniri'Ct oot-Hncr + V?a o T?T * v w**v X3 V C11U OOVl t lG?i J and Mrs. Bryan had prepared for the aftair. / A Beautiful Scene. u* The dining room was made to re* semble an orangery and the drawing room was similarly decorated. From their winter home at Miami, Fla., the \ j secretary and Mrs. Bryan had brough large quantities of poinsettia, sinila> and ottoer semi-tropical plants, whicl were used for decorations. There was no formal reception as the diplomats entered. The secretary i and Mrs. Bryan stood near the dooi I and simply wished all "a happ New i Year." When the moment for entorin<r the breakfast room arrived Am bassador .Jusserand, as dean of the corps, gave Mrs. Bryan his arm anc Secretary Bryan escorted Madame Jusserand., The breakfast was giver in buffet style. Pineapple and grape juice puricues were served and there were no wines.

When rain falls it does not actually soak into tDe earth, but bores its waj j in, forming tiny tubes. These tuibes j are so small that it would be impossi| ble to insert a hair in one of them j without bursting its walls. Somej times the tubes are bored down to a depth of four or five feet. When the surface dries the water evaporates from tfhe tubes, just as it would froir a pipe. If the tube is twisted it takes longer for the water to evaporate. II one takes a rake and stirs the grounc after each rain he breaks the tops of the tubes, and the wator will stan<3 in them for months.

What colors are healthful and lifegiving and what devitalizing have been determined by R. Goulburn I Lovell, vice president of the British ! Society of Architects. Despite old rei marks about "the blues,'n Hie finds : that they are by all odds the most . i healthful shades. In his lecture on : "Courage in Color," he said that a I point of importance to be constantly remembered in the use of colors was fceir selection from a scientific standpoint. It had been proved that whereas blue had a most stimulating and health-giving power, green produced enrirely the reverse. Any one could j prove that statement for himself if he J took a series of cloches, of the glass j bells used in iFrench gardening. These j should be of all colors, and if placed ' over any living object, such as plants, insects, etc., it would be found tha: i those under the blue cloche would in! crease in size, vigor and vitality, and those under the green clocfhe would wither away rapidly. Jt would fur; ther be found that the colors between t blue and the green would run in the following order of life-giving prop L . erties: Blues, violets, yellows, rods, i .ml greens. They would realize, furjtlu r, how in t'/.e selection of the color decorations of their homes that as! pect of the question, should be constantly borne in mind, and how much ! more so in the hospitals and sana; cria. in to at respect errors were un! foriunately too often made. WhereI as a patient would have a hopeful, ^; stimulating outlook on life if lying I within blue surroundings, an entirely opposite effect would be obtained if ; | surrounded by greens and reds. ; I Treatinsr an Aged Couple in the Right Spirit* ; Coronaca cor.

The fact was [ pretty well known throughout the ' neighborhood and Bijie couldn't have . disposed of that horse even to David l Harum, who bouglht a horse that . would "stand without hitching." One day a neighbor drove up behind Bijie, who was tailed as usual. It was a narrow embankment and there was no room to pass. The neighbor aci cepted the situation philosophically. . Every now and then Bijie's horse would turn his head, and as promptly Bijie, who was stalled as usual. It was i seemed that the box bed of his "sidebar" buggy was loaded with pebbles. _ i "What'er ye doin' that fer, Bijie?" , the neighbor asked. "That won't start L ?im."

The recent death of Field Marshal Lord Wolseley has brought out many anecdotes of the famous British officer. On one occasion, as the soldiers were tfinine anri the orderlies were hastening back and forth with pails of steaming soup, Woiseley stopped one of them and ordered him to remove the lid of his pail. The man promptly obeyed. "l^et me taste it,1' said the general. But?"began the orderly. ""Let me taste, I say!" and he tasted it. "Disgracefnl!'" he exclaimed.

(Special.)?That th Boys' Corn Club movement means great deal more to the South tha the average citizen has ever dreamet is the conclusion presented in an ii teresting interview by H. G.

Every year since the firs corn club was organized, the move ment has seen more than remarkabl growth. One ^year's record has be come insignificant when that of th next year doubled it; and by that, mean that many more boys have gon into the work and have vastly ir creased results not only by their ow: efforts, but through inspiration to f? thers, brothers and neighbors unti millions of dollars have already bee: added to corn production in the Soutr "And yet this is but a forecast o what is to come.
