I HAVE always thought it silly
for husbands and wives to figh*
over a bridge game. I hav<
changed my mind, however, sinct
last night.
We had some friends in and wt
were right in the middlfe Of * good
game—not cutthroat, but good
bridge—when my wife jumps up
from the table with the remark
it’s time to serve something to
“snack” on.
The cards had just been dealt
and with one glance I knew I had
a powerhouse. “Not now, honey,”
says I, “let’s finish this rubber.”
“Oh. we can play while we
snack,” says she and trots hap
pily off toward the kitchen.
Impatiently I shuffled my hand.
In about 15 minutes she returned
with plates of cheese, olives,
stuffed celery, etc. These she puts
on the bridge table. She retreats
to the kitchen again and returns
with cups and a pot of coffee,
cream and sugar. These too, she
distributes over the bridge table.
“Now.” she says, “we can play
and nibble at the same time.”
Things were all right for the next
two or three minutes while we bid.
I got it with a grand-slam bid in
spades. Then the trouble began.
She arranged her cards before her,
spades on one side of the celery,
hearts on the other side of the
cheese, clubs arranged beautifully
around her coffee cup, and dia
monds on the very edge of the
table, anchored by the olives.
Play began. I reached across to
the dummy for a trump, the celery
dish skidded and hit the cheese,
the cheese bounced toward her
coffee cup, the coffee cup sailed
across the diamonds and smashed
to the floor. ^The women screamed,
and jumped and the table danced.
Cheese, celery, olives, clubs, hearts
and spades tangled. It was impos
sible to separate them.
And my wife (bless her) can’t un
derstand why I blew my top.

The Lord” Has
Been At Clemson
For Many Years
(From Anderson Independent)
CLEMSON, Nov. 14—The “Lord
and heaven” are on the Clemson
campus.
Speak of the Lord and the aver
age Clemson student identifies him
as Dr. O. H. Collings, professor of
soils. “I hardly had my foot on
the campus before they had me
nicknamed,” the Lord chuckles.
That was about 1918.
At Clemson, at least, the Lord
was created before Heaven.
In the beginning he taught in
the old agricultural building (now
the library) until it burned. Then
it was necessary to seek tempor
ary quarters.
“I held my classes for a year
and a half in the old Methodist
Church and the boys like to have
a fit!” said Lord Collings. The old
church is today the parsonage,
“As far as I know I’m the only
professor who has ever been
pounded by the boys,” he said
proudly.
The class in the church moved
the the YMCA when it came time
for final exams in soils. This was
also time for a pounding, the boys
figured.
Picture the scene—8 a.m., 150
boys sitting in alternate seats
throughout the auditorium, and a
small table down in front plied
high with such useful gifts as can
dy, chewing gum, and peanuts. On
top of the stack was a plug of
chewing tobacco.
The Lord entered carrying ex
am papers—stopped and looked.
“I was quite nonplussed, of
course, so I just went over to the
blackboard and wrote “The Lord
Loveth a Cheerful Giver”—and
