The house yesterday declined to receive the report in con? fidence. Hern e, it will not be sent at all. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood chief of st a ft of the army, was again before the house military committee today t ? explain his views as to the military unpreparedness of the country. He said it was impossible to obtain a large stock of war supplies on short notice. Mi believed the time to act was now and that the government should be enabled at once to purchase all the supplies necessary so that any emergency might be met promptly and effectually. Gen. Wood favored the national council of defense plan, as outlined in the administration measure intro? duced yesterday by Hepresentati\e Hobson of Alabama, and contended for legislation providing a permanent policy such as was worked out suc? cessfully in European government. He said the United States should not be behind any other government In preparing for war. President Taft would deprecate .a war scare or hasty action at this tim In any direction. In his message to congress he has called attention to some of the needs of the army and Is hopeful that fav? orable action may be taken. The president Is anxious that more otll cers for the army should be provided by law and that these officers should cooperate with the militia of the States and thus keep in reserve nt all times an effective fighting fore which could be called into the field at a moment's notice. ^resident Taft has urged the pass? age of a bill now pending in congress repealing the old volunteer act and making provision for the organiza? tion of volunteer forcp* in Mm?? of war.

Barliard concludes from his personal 1 observation of cobras in Ceylon, says the Scientific American, that the ser pout's traditional love for music Is a pure fable and that the only effect Ol l music is to arouse the reptile's curios- 1 ity, which Is excited by nny loud and acute sound. The cobra protrudes Its j bead from its burrow alike on hearing the suake charmer's flute, the rattling j of a chain or the sounds made by j beating the ground with a switch, it Appears to perceive only sounds of high pitch, for I* pays no attention to the low notes of the flute or the beat? ing of the drum.

We form our judgments and then, as it were, defy any one to change them. It is said that no one has ever been converted by abstract argument. At the time of the great disaster in Martinique the Italian bark Orsollna was taking on a cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to volca? noes, and be did not like the appear? ance of Mont Pelee. Not half his Cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. "The volcano is all right," argued the shippers. ??Finish your loading." "I don't know anything about Mont Pelee," said the captain, "but if Vesu vius looked that way I'd get out of Naples, and Tin going to get right out of here." The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him. but the captain persisted In leaving. Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre.? Christian Herald. A Miser's Luxury. There was a Middlesex couple once who lived on a sum to shock the moat reckless of our correspondents. Daniel Dancer was the man. He looked on saving as an art and saved for art's sake. His father left him a farm and eighty acres, and his sister helped him carry out his scheme of life. He let the land He fallow, says the London Gest. It costs money to cultivate land. For food the couple believed In one day, one meal. The batch of dump? lings baked on a Saturday lasted out the week. For clothing ho depended on bay bands "swathed round his feet for boots and round his body for a coat." But Daniel had a weakness. He would buy a clean shirt each year. And out of this arose the tragedy of his life?a lost lawsuit over three? pence which, in Daniel's judgment, the shirt seller had wrongfully pocketed. He died in 1704 worth ?3.000 a year.

Hut the patteran can be read by the gypsy only?it is hidden and secret, although it may be in plain sight, as a signboard is open and pub? lic.

FIRE IN GREENVILLE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT I. <). O. F. ORPHANAGE LAST NIGHT. Citizens of Greenville Offer to Aid But Quarten Arc Provided for In? mates by Superintendent. Qrenevlll, Dec. it.?Fire this evening at G o'clock completely de? stroyed the hoys' dormitory of the Odd Fellows orphanage, the institu? tion established two and one-hall miles from Greenville county court house in 19 0 5 by the Independent Or? der of Odd Fellows of South Carolina for the care of orphan children. The 24 inmates of the burned building were performing their evening chores about the barn yard at the time the fire was discovered, but supper had been spared for them, and within a short while they would have been housed for the night. The loss is as yet not known, since the insurance policies covering the structure are locked in a bank vault tonight and inaccessable until morning. The dor? mitory was erected at a cost of $5,000 and it required about $1,000 to fur? nish it. It is stated that the brick in the walls represent a salvage of $1,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery, since the blaze was first dis covered on the second floor of the building where no fires had been kin dled since Thursday morning. Practically none of the contents of the dormitory was saved, though the superintendent, the inmates and neighbors made heroic efforts to re? move the furnishings. Citizens of Greenville, on learning of the fire started for the scene in automobiles, carriages and other vc hides, but the flames had almost died down when they reached the grounds. Those who went to the fire offered to bring the homeless lads back to the city and care for them until suitable quarters could be prepared, but the offers were declined the superinten? dent stating that he could convert che first floor of the girl's dormi? tory into temporary quarters for the boys. This institution was established in 1905, but the burned structure was reared only two years ago. The or? phanage was built on an 80-acre tract of land at a cost of $30,000 and is composed of a three-story dormi? tory for girls, an adjoining building used as a kitchen and dining room, two large barns and the burned dor m'torv for boys.

The place was an out of the way one or pernaps the crowd would have been larger than it was, although a good attendance was present from | Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties. The blasting began about 3 o'clock and lasted for some time, the spec? tators going into the held between the blasting of each stump to see what had been done. Mr. J. H.

In all . ere blown up, on< of them eing a monster of IU IfiaJ ind r? tuiri an t.wa sti of dynatn ? U do th? work, which was done so well that after the ex? plosion the stump could be handled almost without any other cutting or splitting of it. The dyna? miting was a success from every point of view as it did tbe work well and did it a great deal cheaper than it could possibly be done by labor? ers, the greatest saving being that of time. The dynamite used was the Dupont lied Cross 4 0 per cent, which can be purchased from hardware stores here. The expert dynamiter, Mr. Connell, has been and is being sent to all of the larger towns in the country' to show the farmers how the dyna? mite, which is especially recommend? ed for the blasting of stumps, is used ami to give the experiment to get them to use the dynamite. Mr. Des Cbamps. of the Sumter Hardwire company, sent out invitations to all of ihe prominent farmers in the county and in nearby counties to be present at the experiment.
