Among otlier things the Advertiser says: I "We do not begrudge Miss Houser ! a scholarship at Winthrop. She is i doubtless a worthy student and ambitious. but we do say that she ought to have tried for this scholarship in i the county in which she was educated ' and was making her home. "We heartily commend Superintendent Rouse and Mr. Swearlugen for the stand taken by tliem in this matter and only regret that they have no authority to safeguard the. county scholarships, though they are partly I?aid for by tax money. Chesterfield yavfng its pro rata." To all of which The Chronicle heartily concurs. But read the following from the Advertiser: "There is one phase of this question fhat ought to occasion serious thought. The word "citizenship" is freely used in these discussions. It is said and rejieated that she had not established a "citizenship" in Chesterfield county. Now what what we want to know is how could she establish a citizenship in this or any other county? So far , as we have beeu uble to learn "citizenship" does not apply to women at all. Only men are "citizens," if we are not mistaken. Women are only women. Apparently our wise lawmakers have not thought it worth while to take note nt women when prescribing the length of time a residence is required in order to establish a citizenship. "We fail to see that the question of citizenship can enter this discussion rect in what it said about "citizenship," sq sure, in fact, that it did not refer to the dictionaries. But since *he question of "citizenship" has l?een raised, we quote the following from the New International dictionary: "A citizen is a member of a state n person, native or naturalized, of ither sex, who owes allegiance to a government and Is entit'ed to reciprocal protection from it." Then again, read what "Daniel Web ster" says: "Citizen. Due who enjoys the freedom and privileges of a city, a free man of a city, as distinguished from a foreigner or one not entitled to its franchises. "An inhabitant of a city; a townsman. "A person, native or naturalized, of either sex. who owes allegiance to a government, and is entitled to reeip ?ocal protection from it." ' 'Mtizeness. A female oit'zen." From the above it would seem that 1 - ? ?" ? in mi '?!)<? * nron;r:..i X.I..,, ... plication. ** The lecislature in its wisdom has seen fit to define "citizenship" as it applies to n person's richt to vote n'nd in The Chronicle's opinion if hut is a wise provision, the same provision should apply to lieneflciary < holarships. " "h.? Chronicle. however, is unqualifiedly o]>|M>sed to henetieiary scholarships as they are now provided. ltut to revert to this particular scholarship: The pre< edent set hy lie awarding authorities in th's case siiu|ily amounts to this: Next year lid the next there will he no scholarship cir's. hut if there are any Chesterfield county cirls who want a scholarship, all that will he necessary them to do will Ik* to look over the list and see what counties are entitled to scholarships and then c<> to one of those counties in time to stand the examination and yet the scholarship from that county hy makinc a hotter mark than the home county cirls?and that oucht not he a difficu't matter. es|ieeially for Cheraw cirls. as i ***e are told, that Prof. Johnson, of Winthrop Collece, says the cirls from *he f'heraw craded school are the hest prepared of any of the trirls that have ?vor matrieuiated at Winthmp <*??1tesre.

Everybody reads the ads and nearly every 1 tody remembers what they 1 read. Mrs. Jones remarks to Mrs. Smith that she simply must go to the store and get a new dress pattern, or a winter eoat. or possibly a new hat. Mrs. Smith has read of the latest ereations at some store and immediately springs her knowledge upon Mrs. Junes, who simply can't resist i the temptation to go and see for her' self. Once there, she generally buys. > Farmer Hankinson needs a new harness, or a plow, or some other im plement for progressive farming. His neighbor has read the up to-date r ad of the implement house in the loi cnl pajter and incidentally mentions that So-and-So carries a good article. . which he is advertising quite heavily. This excites Farmer Hankinson's uriosity and be "just drops in to see 4 !t." He. too, often ends with a buy. t The woman's club, or the sewing t circle, or the pink tea ladies get to? gether and spend the afternoon or ' evening in gathering up stray bits of ' information. Anything that has at tracted the eye of any member comes ' in for discussion, and nothing is * *- Hint) fluiso more near i<> mm ? , t delightful things that were adver. tised in the last issue of the paper, i Of course they all want to know about them, and then they must see ' them, and in the end they buy them. ' Bill Poolittle wants a new over! -oat. and the well written overcoat I ad never pets by him. He drops in and looks over the coats of which the merchant lias sixiken so glowingly. They are as represented, and he buys. 1 Test, they all read the ads, and hey talk about the goods they read ibout, and they buy when they are sufficiently interested to talk about them. Of course advertising pays. Every body knows it pays. THE WAR NEWS.

It was Mildred Dennett herself, who, ; with n ladylike yawn, laid aside her book and unswerod: "Almost as old as Methuselah." "And do you know that you ought to have been married two or three years igo't Here you are twenty-two years old. and, as far ns you have told me, you have not even boon In love yet What is the mutter, dear?" "Well, grandma, there's a good many things the matter. 1 am a sort of talk lluncee; 1 talk war." "Pshaw, Mildred. You are too hard on yourself. Go put on your hat and take a long walk." "Yes. I guess I will," was the answer. and with the words a bright little thought flashed into the girl's brain, and her eyes sparkled with fun. "If I am old enough to match Methuselah's age 1 am old enough to j wear spectacles and be a grandma," laughed the girl us she took off her J own outfit and brought from grandma's room u different one. When attired in grandma's best the deception was a fair one. Once outside of the gate she headed down the road and began at once to practice the gait that uuturally goes with old age. There was a small grove beside the highway u quarter of a mile away, which she was bound for. Miss Mildred reached the grove without adventure, but one was coming and close at hand. She took a seat on a log and was wondering If anything further would happen, when something did. A man came out of the woods on the other side of the highway, and. as he saw her. he stopped and asked: "GraiiuIES. did you see a rabbit run across the road here* I want to shoot one and get one of Its feet for luck." "No; I didn't," was the reply as the girl noticed that the man had a gun and from Ills bearing was evidently from the city. "Well, there goes my chance," sighed the young man. who was evidently about twenty-five years old, ns he came across the road and sat down on the same log and wiped the pcrspirantion from his forehead. Miss Mnureci inraeu n snouiuer 10 him to hide her face as much ns pos slble. but after a miuute he continued: "Grandma, do you believe 'here's any luck In carrying n rabbit's foot?" "There may be," was the muffled rejoinder. " ? "I have an old grandma myself," suid the man after a pause of a minute or two. "She keeps to the old fashioned ways, same as you do, and we never try to modernize her. I beg your par don when I ynm.aUitvvJa?nlL. umj uamw, utfv Uhypgcowlug. iUfffr I ask without rudeness how old you' are?" "I feel about n hundred and twenty five years old," replied Miss Mildred. "Well, that's a good old age," said the stranger with a laugh, "and I hope you'll live to be a hundred and fifty. I hope I have not Intruded, but I must go now. I want to get that rabbit If possible." And Brian Moore, who did live in the city and was out In the country for a week's holiday, rose up and lifted his hat and went on. When he was out of sight Miss Mildred lifted her spectacles and placed them on the log beside her and laughed heartily for the next ten minutes. She must go back and tell Grandma Parsons about it, and she did go back, but when she rose up to go she left the spectacles behind her. She bad been In the house ten minutes or mora nnrl <sha ?i?1 ermulmn were male lug merry over the adventure, when n knock was heard at the front door. "I'll see who Is there." said the girl, and, forgetting that she still wore the ancient costume which she had donned when she set out for the grove, she walked through the hall and at the door she come face to face with the man who was hunting a rabbit's foot. He started back at sight of her. anil she started back at sight of hiin. He recovered first, and, handing out the spectacles, he demurely said, and smll ed us he said it: "Please, grandma, but you left your spectacles behind on the log. I had to go back there to sec If the rabbit had taken refuge under It." Miss Mildred reached out and took the spectacles, but she did not thank him. She tried to. but failed. Instead of tliauks. she found herself say I ing: "You look tired and hot. Shan't 1 bring you a glass of water?" "If you please," he half laughed. The water was brought, and then the two sat down on the veranda, and when the .girl confessed her crime, with many a blush and giggle, and tin young man confessed that he was not nfter rabbits, there was talk of othei matters. How sbouid such an adventure end: The answer came three months later when <1 rand ma Parsons said to hot granddaughter: "Mildred. Mr. Moore has been call Itig here at intervals ever since lie looked fop the rabbit. Has he beet: looking for ROtnrthiiig else?" And the girl kissed Iter and hid ho: face on Iter shoulder and replied In r whisper: "I guess, grandma, he Is looking fot me. and I hope I will bring hint more luck than a rabbit's foot!"
