WILSON ON PROFANITY •'Since 1 left academic walks and came out Into the highway 1 have been astonished at the increased temptation to profanity. Sometimes ihe dioternary la entirely inefficient to <>xpress one's feelings. 1 do not care for those dilettante men who never tiso to righteous anger and never rise to wholesale enthusiasm, for without enthusiasm there is no progress in the wurjd. I think it would be dangerous to bottle up what you sometimes thiriV The expressing need not be made in public but there aiv» clrcurstances and persons that make the *•*■ preseion of them unnecessary "-Ex- ( tract from President-elect Wilson's speech before the Southern society. Wilson told the story of a Iwrysr in an Impeachment rase who wan defending a judge for using the word damn in instructing Jurors. The lawyer exemplified by presenting the , preposition “if you were fixing the category of fools yon would sic; bools —natural born fools —and then where do you go7“ Mrs. Helle Ounness. the Laporte murderess, has again been located, tuts time at Alberta, Canada.

\!oe and doue your Christmas shopling early. Os course, if you haven’t there is only one thing to do and that is to get busy. The rush is on and the next four days will be busy ones. President Tuft will accept (he Kent professorship of law at Yale shortly alter leaving the presidency next March. He will also lecture In other colleges, beginning hiß duties after u ' short vacation spent in Georgia. Senator Beveridge and eight others nave been ejected from the membership of the Marion club at Indianapolis. They will now appeal to the membership of that club and the result will show how many republicans and how many bull tnoosers are on the Hat. The snow mdds a decoration for Ghristmas that nothing else could do and the celebration now promises to be the equal or that of any former year. You will feel,better If you go outside the regular list, and aid some poor boy or girl as much or little as you ican. Sc-xtor Stephen \T. Fleming t» ! seeming more fatuous He appeared Wednesday before the chebiistry of the department of agriculture at Washington to teatify why his brew-*-iy sent beer our under improper labels.

And you long for the things he is bringing; But the costliest gift may not gladden th# day. Nor help on the merry bells ringing. Some getting i« losing, you understand; Some hoarding te far from savin*. What you bold in your hand may slip from youi l hand; There is something better than having. We are richer for what we give, And only by giving we live. Mre. C. E. Bell was a delightful hostess to the Mothers' club Wednesday afternoon a ther home, corner of Third and Adams streets.
