SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
GEORGETOWN, TEXAS
When considering the sending of a son or daughter to college, not only must
it be considered to whom and to what he or she is to be sent, but also WHERE.
Georgetown is thirty miles from Austin, with 14 trains daily. It is emi-
nently a school town, free from saloons and other sources of vice. With its
cultured citizenship it is conservatively progressive in atmosphere. It is clean
in appearance, with its beautiful homes, its cement sidewalks, its avenues of
trees. Through it flows the historic and picturesque San Gabriel River. The
scenery is itself cultural. /
The climate is ideal, mild, bracing, healthful.
The surrounding country is as rich, as prosperous as there is in Texas.

Honeymoons have been the fashion
so long their origin seems enshrouded
in the mists of antiquity.
Just who ever started the first hon-
eymoon is not known, but its incep-
tion was without doubt a happy one.
June being the accepted month for
weddings, naturally it is the time when
most honeymoons are taken.
It is the grand climax of the wed-
dings. The bride has been looking for-
ward to it for months, maybe for
years.
After the ceremony -(under which
the poor little bride has almost brok-
en down through the nervous strain
and the bridegroom has felt about as
lively and important as the only male
in the audience of a national suffra-
gette. meeting) ; after the congratula-
tory expressions from friends and rel-
atives ; after the wedding supper; af-
ter the rice and old shoes have been
thrown—comes the wedding trip.
On the train comes the pretense of
fooling conductor, passengers and por-
ter ; that they are really not a newly
married couple must be assumed.
That stunt has been pulled by every-
body who ever got married and yet no-
body ever got away with it.
Anybody can spot a bride and bride-
groom anywhere and any time.
They show it as plainly as if they
wore a tag upon which in large letters
was printed the words. “We Are New-
ly Married—Have a Heart.”
Honeymoons are the happiest times
of the married state. Can’t you look
back across the years and see yourself
when you had the heavy role in that
little drama of your life? Can’t you
see again the sweet little star who
played opposite you, so timidly, so
trustingly, as she kept one eye on her
suitcase and the other on your pocket-
book?
Ah, Time, you are a heartless old
thief. You steal away our years of
dew-kissed happiness; you rub out the
rose bloom of youth and you rub in the
wrinkles, but you can’t reach the hu-
man heart, you old crook—thank God
you can’t touch that, or you would age
that too.
The heart may remain young for-
ever, for we are only as old as we feel.
All you can do is whiten the hair and
rumple the skin, bend the back and
make slow the step, but when a couple
love each other, their hearts often turn
back to the honeymoon days and it
helps brighten the journey the rest of
the way.
Here’s to the honeymoon—may it
never wane.—Florida Times-Union.

“Wall Street” in the Films.
Wall street is the most popular in-
str ment we have for ruining heroes
quickly or elevating them to sudden
wealth.
In J any films the “street” is intro-
duced in some way or another either
to increase the fortunes of the lucky
hero or to encompass the ruin of the
village bank cashier. The habitue of
the street is always represented as
wearing a luxurious fur-lined coat and
silk hat. For some fancied insult or
family quarrel, one broker will deter-
mine on the ruin of another. Brokers
are always deadly enemies of each
other in the picture, and when engaged
in “ruining” some enemy are always
shown in their shirt sleeves with a
half dozen telephones at hand; men
are running in and out of the office
with handfuls of stock certificates em-
bellished with large seals; and, last,
but not least, the ticker inexorably
grinds out yards and yards of ruin.-

High Finance.
Here is an incident that a man tells
as having occurred in a Kansas town.
He was in a ticket office and watched
the proceedings. A man came to the
window and asked for a ticket to Kan-
sas City, inquiring the price.
“Two twenty-five,” said the agent.
The man dug into a well worn pock-
etbook and fished out a bank note for
$2. It was all the money he had.
“How soon does this train go?” he
inquired.
"In 15 minutes,” replied the agent.
The man hurried away. Soon he was
back with three silver dollars, with
which he bought a ticket.
“Pardon my curiosity,” said the tick-
et seller, “but how did you get the
money? It isn’t a loan, for I see you
have disposed of the $2 bill.”
“That’s all right,” said the man. “No,
I didn’t borrow it. I went to a pawn-
shop and soaked the bill for $1.50.
Then as I started back here I met an
old acquaintance to whom I sold the
pawn ticket for $1.50. I then had $3,
and he had the pawn ticket for which
the $2 bill stands as security.”

War Gardener—By the way, how
t James M. Cox, governor of Ohio, told
this story when he visited Fort Ben-
jamin Harrison, says the Indianapolis
News :
“I was over at the fort this after-
noon, and out at the rifle range Major
Darrow asked me if I wouldn’t like to
try shooting. The men then were shoot-
ing from -the 600-yard range, said
‘yes,’ so Major Darrow borrowed a
rifle for me from one of the men and
another for himself, and we lay down
across the sand bags and began pep-
ping away.
“After each shot that either of us
made the man down in the pit waved
the red flag that meant we had missed
the target altogther.
“Finally after about a half dozen
shots apiece, the major said: ‘Young
man, telephone down to that man in
the pit that Major Darrow is shooting,’
and so the young man did, and then
the major shot again, and the pit man
waved the emblem that signified the
major had hit the bull’s-eye.
“Then I said to myself, ‘um hum,’
and so I turned to the man on my
right and I said, ‘Young man, tele-
phone down to the pit man that the
governor of Ohio is shooting, and then
the next time I hit the bull’s-eye, too.”

War Gardener (excitedly)—Great
SCott! I hope you didn’t step on my
potato patch!
One French farm is being cultivated
by a former soldier who lost both
hands in the war. Jean Baptiste Led-
rans is the man who has overcome this
handicap. When war was declared
Ledrans was a young handy mechanic,
accustomed to repairing plows and
reapers. At the call to arms he re-
joined his battery as a cavalry ser-
geant. He distinguished himself by
manning a bomb mortar and advancing
with the infantry to the attack of a
strong redoubt. This exploit earned
him the rank of underlieutenant.
After fighting safely through many
battles, Ledrans was wounded near Ar-
ras and upon his recovery was trans-
ferred to the infantry, says a corre-
spondent of the Chicago News. In his
new position the young underofficer,
because, of his mechanical ability, was
assigned to the grenade section, where
he soon became proficient. Finally
he became an instructor.
It was while instructing some young
soldiers, about to leave for the front,
that Ledrans received his terrible
wounds. A new recruit produced an
experimental grenade from his pocket
and gave it to Ledrans. The instructor
began his lesson, releasing the fuse
lighter which, unfortunately, was con-
nected with a loaded grenade, and not
one as used in practice. The grenade
exploded, killing six men and wound-
ing several others. Ledrans was
wounded in five places; a ri' broken,
right eye put out, one eardrum pierced
and his two hands carried away.
This was in 1916. In spite of his in-
juries, Ledrans’ fiancee remained faith-
ful, and two months later received a
letter written by her future husband.
In January, 1917, they were married
and Ledrans is now cultivating his
father-in-law’s farm.
Putting his ingenuity to practical
use, the former soldier has been able to
design and build apparatus which en-
able him almost to ignore his mutila-
tion. He can hitch up and drive a
horse, driving by sitting n the loop
of the lines and guiding with his ar-
ranged forearms. He can load and
unload the wagon, care for the horse
and manage a team as well. The whip
passes through a ring in the right arm
equipment.
By means of a special harness Led-
rans can work in the fields as well as
anyone. A steel plate strapped on the
body, and supplemented with leathers
for the arms, support the interchange-
able tools which are needed to per-
form various operations of farm work.
On the left arm is carried- a ring
through which the handle of the rake
or shovel slides like -through the hand.
The right arm is equipped with a sock-
et and set screws in which the tools
can be placed and fixed. There is a
complete assortment of farm tools and
special hooks.
The farm work done, the brave ex-
soldier takes off his “working arms,”
and his wife adjusts a pair of elastic
gloves which accommodate the smaller
articles of daily use. With these gloves
Ledrans can write, shave, eat and
dress himself. He drinks by taking the
cup between the two elastic gloves.
Combing his hair, brushing-his teeth
and adjusting his collar become simple
operations to this injured man, who
has solved, for himself, one of the
great problems of the war.

Why Our Eyes Sparkle.
If you should watch very closely the
eyes of a merry person when you see
them sparkle, you would probably no-
i tice that the eyelids move up and
' down more often under suh condi-
| tions than ordinarily and if you know
what moving the eyelids up and down
I in front of the pupil of the eye does
j you will have your answer, says the
। Book of Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down
I it releases a little tear,, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes it clean
and bright. It does this every time
the eyelid comes down. Now, there is
something about being merry whcl
has the effect of making the eyelids
dance up and down, and thus every
time the lid comes down the ball of
the eye is washed clean and bright
and gives it the appearance of spark-
ling, as we say.—Brooklyn Eagle.
