i : M4OLD CLOTHES CLUB" FORMED AT YALE New Haven. Conn.. April 14.?An '"'olif clothes dub" in Sheffield Scientific school at Yale University materialized today. Students are asked to wear old dcthes "in order v to brine down the present hijrh cost of clothes" and those arraying themselves in new si1 its will be regarded as "guilty of a serious breach of' social etiquette." The Yale News makes this fashion note of "correct attire." "Sweater, coat and trousers of a different material, army shoes or bedroom slippers and last year's hat. Xo embargo on clean linen." i ? j A Sketch by Judge Benet. A. R. Presbyterian. \ The Presbyterian prints below a ' 4 letter from Judge Benet, who is \ known to mar>y of our readers. The judge is quite kind in his allusions to Due West. We can but wish that we deserved all -that the j^dge so kindly says of us. ^ ?i at r ! Linrusnawt"v>. i April 5, 1920. Dear Sir:?By this mailxI am send-' ing you the January and February number qf the Caledonion magazine, containing an article of mine on the "Scots and Ulster-Scotts," etc. In the February number you will find a brief sketch of Pue West, which I trust will not displease you. J. C. t Hemphill, a faithful "Due Wester" j j liked it so much that he printed it in J a his "Journal," and pronounced it as a true discription. 1 hope you will; agree with him. My recollections of Due West are i all very pleasant. Yours sincerely, j W. C. Benet. 'j "In Abbeville county, in a district! \vhich was settled almost entirely by j emigrants of Scottish blood, there is a thriving little town called Due West. (It is "due west" from no- * where in particular.) Fifty years ago, I used to hear it sometimes called "Due West Corner," and even briefly "The Corner." Searching for the oldest map \I could find, at last I saw in Drayton's Memoirs a sketch map of the province in which at a point on the boundary line between I the white settlements and the Indian Nation' there was a place marked '. "DuWirt's Corner," a trading post of J one DuWirt. The place grew, ana j the name changed into Due West vCorner. The inhabitants are all of, Scottish or Ulster-Scottish descent. They are all Presbyterians of the j straitest sect, too, known as Seceders,; ^ the heirs of the doctrines of the , , Covenantee and the Erskines. They f are Calvinists after Calvin's own: heart. They are as familiar with! , the Bible and the Shorter Catechism j as I was compelled to be in my boy- j * hood at the parish school in Scot-1 land. They are Sabbatarians with i ^ # more than Jewish strictness. "Sun- j t day" is tabu, and never heard in j ( * * J t _ i i I Due West. "ijaDDam is iae per- ^ mitted word. I doubt if their newspaper has ever printed the word ^ "Sunday." When the iron road first ^ approached Due West, it was forbid- , den to come within four miles of the town. Changing somewhat a few t years ago, it built a four-mile rail road of its own, to join with the! main line. Their railroad, however, i dees not run on the Sabbath. They j sing no hymns in public worship, and j 5 are as strongly opposed to the j t "paraphrases" as Barrie's "Little 11 Minister." They sing only the i "Psalms of David in metre." Their i church has no "storied ' windows j ^ richly dight," and no organ or "kist j ( o'whistles" is heard there. I hear, ^ however, of changes that are taking a place among the Seceders in other j ^ towns?that stained glass windows y and organs have been introduced, but' j not in the Due West that I know. j j After all this, what have I to say j c about the people of Due West? I! ( speak what I do know; they are ; e worthy of all praise. Intelligent, up-: right, honest ar.d thrifty in business; I ( strict in morals as they are in doct- a rine, they deserve, better than any, j< town that I know, here or in the old j c country, to be described as a Christ- j ii ian community. ) ii I But this is the point I am so long c * in coming' to: their chief, almost their C only industry is education. Due West is the headquarters of the Associate e Reformed Presbyterian church, which r is pretty strong in the Carolinas, n Tennessee and other Southern States; e and here is situated their Theological tl Seminary. Here also is Erskine E college, bearing an honored name; h and here, too, is the Due West Female college. All these institutions are nnr? crrnwinfr* T)nf> b is a college town?an educational j ? centre.

' \vh MARK TWAIN'S CAVE. | ^ St. Louis I'ost-JDispatcn. sta Mark Twain's Cave, Hannibal. pai ilo., whicl} was named after Hannibal's illustrous son, Samuel G. > wa Clemens, who found delight in ram- ' a j ding through the darkened and ^ nysterious passages of the giant ; jng avern long before he became the ! vorld famous humorist, was discover- ! ^ ?d 100 years ago, and to fittingly ] .-elebrate the centennial anniversary J >f the finding of the cave, Hannibal I ani jusiness men plan to hold a celebra- j p*c ion next fall, which will be a home { joming for former Hannibalians}ma - - iof :'rom many states in tfce union. Located two miles south of the msiness district of Hannibal and on he eastern edge of territory that is ;oon to be drilled for oil, the fam- J >us cavern has been the mecca for housands of visitors each year. With ts miles of barren walls and num;rous interesting natural rooms, the ne: ave is known in most parts of the ivilized world. The cave register j -0I ihows the names of more than ten housand people from every state in f?T he union and two dozen foreign m countries. C?1 It was in this cave that Mark [Vain, then known as Sammie J o nf ILo Siemens, anu uic sun ui ? j w*. he peace, dreamed the dreams that fterward brought . him fame and da? ortune. It was here that Twain and do-* lis supposed boyhood sweetheart, a f --aura Frazier, who is still living: in at lannibal, were los? during their i at hildhood days, and in "Tom Sawyer'" J Clemens recorded this event of his ' arly life. Most of the boyhood friends of 'lemvns have passed away, but there Ar re a few still living. Anions these ; ^ 5 Col. John L. Robards, a sturdy j itizen for his age. He is now near- j j ng the 90th milestone of his life and i t is with great delight that he re- nat alls his boyhood association with nu* ,, * tial demens. par The cave has never been completely xplored. William C. Peck, long boc esident of Hannibal, has told of re- sto iainin? at one time on an exploring xpedition with friends. He said ca fiey came out at a point on Salt erb liver, nine miles from where they I ad entered the cavern. the The manner in which the cavern , .
