Wi is now willing to enter the young William Burtis in any baby show that comes along. -; - . :- .. ' Dr. Mills, a workman oifthe new O. A. C. armory, while at the top of the steel roof u girders last Friday, was' struck by a heavyx timber and knocked down to the gutter. . The accident re-i suited in a - bad cut on the back of the head, which a surgeon had to sew up, and several bruises. But Dr. Mills was on the street shortly after and doubt less is at. work at this time. It seems ratiier miraculous that he did not fall through to the ground or bound over the gutter's edge. Such a fall to the frozen ground would probably have re sulted in serious if not fatal injury. Miss Marie Cathey, one of the win ners in the Gazette-Times' Los "Angeles trip -contest, left last night and will spend two weeks, seeing the sights of the Southland. At Albany she was joined by Mrs. William Fortmiller, who had ' been engaged to chaperone the crowd of twelve or fifteen whom it was expected would make the trip, ' but it appears that the various representatives 01 the other papers in the valley pre ferred to accept a cash , settlement of something more than $100. Miss Cathey desired to take the trip, and also felt that her friends assisted her with the expectation that she would be a repre sentative of Benton county . in a crowd of 4 'boostejr girls," rather- than that she might make a few dollafsXin cash. She and Mrs. 1 Fortmiller will visit the various points of interest in California, .with all expenses paid. The Gazette Times wishes them--a-very" delightful trip.

The1 couiniittee' met the other after noou to discuss a prospective course in good , morals, and Superintendent, Brumbiiujjh intimated -in addressing the members if the system of instruc tion proves a success James T. White, the New York millionaire who is will ing to donate a small fortune for the advancement of this kind of training, will urge its adoption throughout the J5ited States. Other Virtues Approved. Some of the other virtues indorsed by the committee and which in all probability will be included in the course of moral instruction are: Cleau llness. neatness, politeness, gentleness. Jriuduess to muukiud and to animals, truthfulness, fidelity iu duty, uobility. obeJience. .respect and reference,-gratitude and thankfulness, forgiveness, confession, honesty, honor, humility, self respect, self control, prudence, good name, good manners, health, tem perance, civil duties, industry, patri otism., cheerfulness, appreciation, con tentment aud.pundtuality. "Mr. White Las urged me to accept the presidency of the Character Devel opment league, iu which he is inter ested." said Air. Brumbaugh to the committee. "That matter is still in abeyance. Mr. White has bus ideas as to the best methods of procedure, and 1 have mine. ,But 'we agree that some thing should be done in this matter in the schools of the United States. So we will try and' do something in this city ' (Philadelphia) as a ' beginning, whethter we go into the national .field or not. Mr.' White, wishes us to try it out in Philadelphia, and If it is a suc-i. cess here it will be tried elsewhere. . Suggestion to Teachers. "I wish the instruction to be given incidentally to the regular work or in the opening exercises. The teacher can give the instruction- by means of aoec-' dotes, stories, poems or songs in the regular . routine, of work. No-, story-! should take, more than three minutes for its relation." . . , . " . Upon the" suggestion of Dr. Brum baugtr it was agreed to assign . each member 'to gather material for one or moresof the several virtues indorsed. The members will Report at the next committee meeting, - which probably will be held In January. MRS. TAFT'S SKUNK COAT. Remarkable Garment Made by Massa chusetts Hunter For President's Wife. Mrs. Taft, wife"of the president re cently received a present of a remark able fur coat. It is made of skunk, but no charge of cheapness or com monness can - be brought against it when it is known that no fewer than 183 skins were employed in its mak ing. Of course only parts of each skin could be used, and James A. Gaff, a Bay State hunter, who collected the furs, baa cut them with, a lavish wastefulness in such a way that only the black parts have been used in the making of the body of the coat. With no sign of the white streaks that usu ally are ... the Identifying marks of skunk skins, any one except an expert In furs might be puzzled to say what breed of animal bad given its life for this coat of Mrs. Taft's. bnt just a tell tale hint is left in the collar and cuffs. . Here -again the skins have been.-specially selected and eat with extra care, so that only the parts that are of the purest white were reserved for use. and as collar and cuffs alike are four and a ialf jncbes wide they afford a striking contrast with the jet black of the sheen of the rest of the coat. In side the collar is a reproduction of the seal of the United States made entirely out of tiny porcupine quills lntarwoven and dyed red. white and blue. New Deep Well Record. . ' " - The record for deep well boring has for some time been held by one at Rybnick. in Silesia, which reaches the depth of 2.003 meters (6.509 feet).
