Students at Kngllsh unl vers! ties ? ? and especially at the older universi ties may feel a little envious when they leurn the' cost of living In this neve Purls settlement. The price of a \\ ell equipped room, one of whose luxuries' will be that "hot and cold running water," which the French now ap|>ear to think s?

The work should, If possible, he done when the ants are at work and their gang ways open. Otherwise, It would he advisable to take a sharpened broom stick or an Iron rod and run down to the bottom of the nest In several places. A galvanized tub or similar vessel |h turned over the nest and earth Is thrown nround the tub wheve It rents on t tie ground and parked down to make It as nearly airtight as possible. A shallow dish Is placed on the nest and Into It Is poured fronj one-half to one and one-half ounces of carbon bisulphide/ according to the sl/.e of the nest. The tuh Is quickly lowered and the earth Is placed all around It. The deadly fumes of the drug, are heavier than air and sink Into the underground galleries of tha nest, destroying every ant with which they come in contact. The drug must be carefully handled, lis the fumes are even more Intlammuhle than gaAollne, if possible, and not a ttpeck of tire, not even a ]>ijx? or cigar, must be permitted anywhere near it or an explosion will likely re sult. The tub is left in place live hours and then removed. # "So Shines a Good Deed." A Kentucky mountain girl, crlpple<J with infantile paralysis, crawled on her hands and knees to school over a mouutaln more than a utile and a half away.

She learned to read and write In the hos pital and whs taken to Beers college to finish her education. A man whose name is withheld deposited $1,000 to her credit In a Louisville bank.

We hnd to go one mile north to get there. We had Just started In that direction when along came a Mg cur with only the driver In. He stopped nn<l said : "Are you going north?' "Yes."

For years Smith lived In a Manhat tan apartment and was tortured by phonographs. When he fled from the front of his flat he was greeted with music from the houses In the rear. Finally he decided to leave the pho nographs behind and rented a bunga low out In the "open spaces" of Brook lyn. He had to walk a. mile to the subway station, but he figured living In Jthe great silence made It worth it, the New York Sun says. When spring came Smith tidied up the lawn, set out rose bushes and shrubbery and trimmed the shade \rees along the street. Then came disturb ance In a new. form, brought on by the xety Isolation of his neighbor ? hood. As Smith's street Is well paved. It has become the meccn of new automo bile owners learning to drive. They back Into his yard, bark his shade tiroes, tear up the turf and ruin the shrubbery. All day and as far as Into the night the amateur drivers zigzag down the street, awakening him with their horn blowing and racing en gines and Imperiling his life as they come plunging across the^ lawn and banging into the porch. Smith Is thinking of moving back ^omong the clllf dwellers, as phono graphs, after all, cannot knock him down and run over; him. Whore He Stood on M6ney Question.

On one oc<*islon he was mak ing a speech and was about to con chide without any reference tft the money question, when a man in the audience called out : "'Bob, tell us where you stand on the money question.' " 'I am glad you reminded ine of that,' Governor Taylor replied, 'and I wyi he glad to tell you. 1 am for a little more gold, a little more silver, a little more greenbacks and a little sprinkle of counterfeit." ?

Hattle to Death With Kenegade Who Had Stolen Church Money. St. Matthews. Au*. 17. -Gus JBuyck. is dead. Thin announcement may not startle the world. But gruesome as it may sound, hundreds of Calhoun cit izens will faeaftei* sleep with a better s. unity. Foymore than twenty years h?* has been engaged in serving sen tences on the gang and making as fre quent escapes. The absence of a leg seemed but to sharpen his wits and increase his daring, In fait, the 'peg leg has at times proved a helpful as* sistant in his effort at offense, A fugitive from sentence, he was in hiding about Cameron. The mem bers of a negro church held a meet Wednesday evening to make money for church purposes. Fifty dollars realized. Tho money was entrusted to the pastor who guardedly put it under the bed in the back room of the par sonage. When alll was asleep, Gus, loading the situation as by intuition, stripped himself of all clothing, took his crutch which wore on its toe *? shoe for a successful delusion and entered the window. The minister was aiousetl by a noise. lie went im mediately to the church treasury. He struck a match and a bare arm swung at from under the bed. He grappled the robber and a hard fight ensued. The children and wife of the pastor arose and went to the rescue of the pastor who was being subdued. One child brought in a brick, and a few blows were administered oft the head of Gus with small effect. The wife thought well of the axe, the weapon of successful ministerial de fense in such attacks. She made one swing and Gus got the axe. The fight over possession of the axe went on over the several rooms of the house. However, with the assistance of his wife and child, the minister succeeded in planting several blows on the head of the enraged antagonist and the loss of blood and exhaustion made him weaken He made his way to the back steps and collapsed. The sheriff was sent for and found Gus still alive and had the $50. A doctor was called but saw the case hopeless and devoted his attention to the minister who was none the better off for the fight. Gus was laid in the car of the sheriff and ?died on the way to jail. The minister is greatly disturbed over having been forced to take human life. While his friends, black and white, join with him in regret that he was forced to play his part to the fatal end, yet, orgy that it is, he is commeiYded on all sides, for fighting his assailant as he did, even to death. C lough Chappel seven year old ne gro boy, was kicked in the head by .a mule near Greenwood Saturday after noon and probably fatally injured. The child had gone to the pasture to drive up the stock for his father, Willis Chappell, when he got too close to one of the mules and was struck on his head, his ' skull having been smashed. A portion of his brains oozed out before an operation could be performed and physicians said his chances for recovery were slight. - Julian* R.

Twenty-five dollars is furnished by the ? government for the care of the stallion for four months of n season-, after which time the horse is to be maintained by the county in which it is placed for the remainder of the. year. Certain regulations and limi tations are set by the government regarding breeding and fees. According to government reports, the stallion is placed in the counties by the remount service of the quar termaster corps, United States army, to encourage the breeding of a better typo of horse. The government is at tempting to give those counties which prove themselves capable of providing for thoroughbreds an opportunity to improve the breed. When the army wants horses, colts sired by such stal lions will be inspected and given first choice, according to bulletins, though the government does not have any option on the foal. iMr. Fulmer says he knows Mr. Hy drick personally and can vouch for his knowledge of good horses.
