OPPOSES FRATERNITIES.
Ade Thinks They Are Unnecessary
Where There Are Homes.
Pittsburg, July 3. George Ade, hu
morist and former grand consul of the
Sigma Chi fraternity, which has jus't
closed its annual convention, indorsed
the stand taken by the Chicago board
of education, which declared that stu
dents entering the high schools must
sign a contract not to Join a fraternity
or secret society when they report for
study In September.
It plans to abolish high school fra
ternities and sororities.
"I don't see the same necessity for
Greek letter societies In high schools
that exists at a college or university,"
said Ade. "In the case of high schools
the members of such a fraternity are
at home. The basic principle of all
properly, governed fraternities Is the
association of fifteen or twenty, stu
dents who are congenial to provide a
home for them while they are pursu
ing their studies."

SEN, LEA TELLS
OF OPERATION
"Any Husband Would Make
Same Sacrifice," He Says,
TRANSFUSION SAVED WIFE,
THE "NIGGER I
TEACHER"

Copyrlgbt by American Preni Asso
ciation, 1911.
Was Conscious During the Hour and a
Half It Was Painful Sensation, but
He Makes Light of It In View of
Outcome.
The heroism of Senator Luke Lea
of Tennessee in saving his wife's life
through tho transfusion of blood has
attracted widespread attention.
Senator Lea has been reluctant lo
speak of the operation, but in briefly
discussing It said:
"While my blood was running out 1
grew weak, of course, but my thoughts
were occupied with other things, and I
hardly noticed my own feelings at nil.
I knew that I could stand it and get
well again. I was on the cot from ':0
o'clock In the afternoon until after fi
o'clock, but the actual trnnsfusion of
blood lasted only about an hoar mid
a half. The rest of the time was tak
en up In sewing up the bandages.
"Tho surgeons toll me that the artery
which was severed will never work
again, but I reckon I can get nlong
without it. It seems that It was de
stroyed by tho operation Hut they
tell me I have nnother artery In the
same arm which will supply sufficient
blood to the hand. This extra artery
must bo supplied for just such an
emergency, as the surgeons tell me my
hand will bo just ns strong ns ever.
"The operation was. of course, pain
ful and for a time made me HI. but hi
comparison with Its results on Mrs. I ea
tho discomfort and pain to me amount
ed to absolutely nothing. It wns just
such a sacrifice as overy husband is
more than willing to make."
The operation wns continued un'II
the pulses of both the senator and his
wife were tho same. When the opera
tion was started Senator Lea's pulse
was 70 and his wife's was 180. It was
continued until tho pulse of both was
about 130. In the interval nbou' n
quart of tho senator's blood went Into
.Mrs. Leu's veins.
It wns frem Senator Lea that tho fact'
was learned for the first time thnt all
during the operation, while his life's
blood was slowly passing Into Mrs.
Lea's body, he was conscious. Ills for
tltndo in face of the extreme pain
which It Is known he must have suf
fered is still being commented on by
physicians ami nurses at the hospital.

"Were you Here when the war brokt
out7" I asked a citlzou of Alabama
during a visit to that stale in 18tSS
"Waal, yes. 1 reckon 1 war uyur
about that time."
"Do you remember Cyrus Vanrtor
veer?'
"Reckon 1 do remember Cyru Van
deveer. Nobody who was hyar when
he was hyar 'II forgit him, 1 reckon "
"Do they remember blm kindly or
unkindly V"
"They remember him mighty kind
ly about the time he went away, hut
when he llrst came down hyar they
didn't take to blm at all."
"What changed them? Tell me al1
about It"
"Well, suh. Cyrus Vandeveer was
one of them abolitionists that didn't
know enough to let the southern peo
ple alone to do what they liked with
their niggers. At that time we didn't
want our slaves to know too much, fo'
If they did we would lose our property
! Vandeveer set up a school fo' the
blacks. Some of our most Intluentlut
citizens went to him and protested
He said that he believed it to be his
duty to teach em. and no proposed to
go on with the wo'k.
"They went away and consulted, but
they didn't say anything mo' to Van
deveer, who continued teachln the nig
gers. That was Just befo the wun.
nnd we was all glttln' mighty hot
down hyar. Finally one night Vando
veer's schoolhouse was observed to lie
on flab. The darkles ran fo' buckets
to put water on It, but the committee
stopped 'em. tcllln' 'em they couldn't
put on any water. Co'se the niggers
was mighty cut up about this, and It
made a heap o' trouble among 'em
The schoolhouse burned to the ground,
and there was nothing left but a few
charred timbers. Vandeveer wasn't
nigh. He had gono to see a sick darky
that had been one of his scholars and
didn't get back tlil his schoolhouse wan
burned to ashes.
"That was a very dry season, there
not having been any rain fo' months
After tho flah everybody went to bed
The wind rose, and well, some s'pose
lt.carrted n spark, and Bome s'pose the
spark got lodged In tho shingles of
the roof when the schoolhouse was
burning. Anyhow, about 11 o'clock
tbero was an ala'm o' flah at Cunnel
Woodbrldge'a house. The cunnel was
playin' a game o' draw at Majo' Atwa
ter's with Captain Sykes, Cunnel
Thorpe and several other Influential
citizens. They had burned the school
house nnd afterward gone to Majo'
Atwater's fo' a Julep and a game o'
cyards. Cunnel Woodbridgo sta'ted up
when somebody rushed in and tole blm
bis bouse was aflah. sayln' he bad left
his little gal tha' alone. The cunnel
was a widower, with this little daugh
ter, about twelve years old.
"By the time the poka party got to the
bouse the downstairs was burnln', and
nobody could get upstairs. Little Mary
Woodbridgo ran to a windo and, see
In' her father below by tho light o'
the flames, stretched out her a'ms to
htm and cried out:
" 'Papa, save met'
"1 was looldn' myself at the cunnel,
and I nova' saw "such an expression
of agony on a man's face In my life
No one could get up to the child, fo'
everything below was aflah.
"Just then a man come along and
took in tha situation. Ho was that
cursed nigger teacher. He was young
and active as a cat Thero was a
rusty lightning rod in a corner of the
bouse runnln' up right to tho window
wha' the gal was. Vandeveer be tuk
hold of it and shinned up to tho win
dow and reached out an asm. The gal
tuk hold of It and swung down beside
tho abolitionist, who held on to the
rod with the other hand.
"Waal, there ho was. He couldn't
come down band ovah hand with only
one hand, and he couldn't hold on
long. Anyhow, it was gittin' hotter
all tho while, and bo and the gal would
burn to death. But be bung on. While
he was tha' the room wha' the child
had been burst Into a flame. It looked
as If bothof 'em must perish when
sorao ono come with a ladder and, put
tin' it up to 'em, Cy dropped Mary on to
It nnd she got down. Then Cy fol
lowed ber.
"You just otter seen Cunnel Wood
bridgo when he got bis daughter from
the man whose schoolhouse he bad
helped to burn. And his burnln' the
schoolhouse was what burned bis own
house, and If it hadn't been for Cy
Vandeveer would 'a' burned Mary
The cunnel couldn't look the nigger
teacher In the face. Ho Just put out
his hand and said nothln.
"That was the night befo' Fo't Sum
ter was fired on, and tho next mawnln'
when they looked fo' Cyrus Vandeveer
ho wa'nt no wha' to bo found. They
reckoned he'd lit out to tho no'tb to
fight the south."
"What's become of Mary Wood
bridge?" I asked.
"Oh, she's livin' hero with her aunt
She's grown up now. Lots o young
fellers want to marry ber, but she says
she's waitln to' that nigger teacher
that saved her from burnln'."
"Where can I find her?"
"Over tha' In that white houBe." As
1 walked away be called: "Say, stran
ger, what do yon want of ber?"
"I'm the nigger teacher, I've been
waiting for her too."
National Purses.
The Englishman carries gold, silver
nnd copper loose In his trousers pock
et, pulls out a handful of mixed coins
nnd selects the one ho needs. Tho
American carries his "wnd of bills"
In a long, narrow pockctbook In which
tho greenbacks Ho flat. Tho French
man makes use of a leather purse
with no distinguishing characteristics.
Tho German uses ono gnyly embroid
ered in silks by tho fair hands of some
Lottchou. The half civilized capital
ist from n torrid South American city
carries his dollars In n belt with cun
ningly devised pockets. The Italian
of tho poorer classes tics up his little
fortune in a gayly colored handker
chief, which lie hides nbout his clothos.
A similar course finds favor with tho
Spaniard, while tho lower class Rus
sian exhibits n preference for his
boots or the lining of his clothes ns a

Bee's Double Stomach.
Tho beo has two distinct stomachs.
In the first It stores away the honey It
so Industriously gathers up from the
flowers until such time as t Is ready
to yield It up, while the other stomach
Is used simply nnd solely for digestion
purposes. Thus the food and the honey
are never mixed. When the bee re
turns to the hive nnd Is ready to de
posit the honey It hns gathered It
contracts the muscles of the stomach,
by which act tho houoy Is ejected
through the mouth. As to beo food, It
Is various In kind, consisting largely
of the honey It so patiently makes for
others.
What Nothing ls
If nny man thinks thnt he can con
ceive well enough how thero should be
nothing, I will engage that what he
means by nothing Is as much some
thing as anything that he ever thought
of In his life, and I bellovo that if he
know what nothing wns It would bo
Intuitively evident to him that It could
not be. Absolute nothing Is the ag
gregate of all the contradictions In tho
world. Jonathan Edwards.
