It once j gave the Times a manag!ng editor who stayed long and wore well. Its present editor pipped his shell as a reporter on the Times and there learned the difference between a piece of news and a gate post.

And all of us !iue Ptard the publisher, Mr. Park, lead the community singing, and love him as a finely human chap. The Times is a bright, honest and ser viceable newspaper that has made good, and its success is a genuine pleasure tu all who likj that kind of b oewsmper. upon a time we were able to repeal the books of the Bible in correct se quence, several Psalms, part of the 14th chapter of St. John, the Ten Commandments and the Apostle's creed without a flaw from beginuing to end. There was an especial in centive to perfection In this memory work, for if we could repeat the pres cribed amouut without the least er ror we were excused from class for that hour. Now we wouldn't under take to memorize anything for such a privilege; It was a terrible nerve strain though, for we confess the whole thing was purely automatic and parrot-like in effect. When we began a Psalm or chapter we felt reasonably sure of getting safely through provided there wey no in terruptions; but if we had been un fortunate enough to cough or sneeze durine the sprint, or perhaps trip on a siugle word we would have been completely lost and been forced to sit und henr the others of the class glide smoothly through, or stumble ani cut a mental tumble-sault and lie defeated by the wayside. There were tother trials too when some of us distinguished ourselves with ourselves with a display of our knowledge ?1 of the Bible. As Tor Instance when on Freshman Bibk1' exam the question was asked, when was the world created? An all-wise freshman replied "in 1842." Also asked, "Miss , what can you tell us about Gidoon?

William It. Allen? Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, died suddenly at his home in Goldsboro yesterday, of ap oplexy. At the time he was talking with his son about a matter of law. He was 64 years old and had been enjoying his usual good health before being stricken. Jude Allen was one of the most eminent men of the State. Having erred on the Superior court bench nd In the legislature before he was elected to the Supreme bench ten jean ago) he was well known to the masses ot the people as well as to the lawyers and public men generally. He was recognized as a very able lawyer and a most conscientious and careful Judge, and a christian gen tleman of most lovable characterist ics. Judge Allen was a native of Du plin county and is survived by his wife and five children. ' He was a brother of Judge Oliver H. Allen un der whom he studied law.

So, personally, we feel that any one who does not have the advan tage of Bible study under a compe tent teacher along with the rest of the college course has missed one of the best features of an education, for.'as has been pointed out by oth ers, there Is "certain underlying knowledge" which an educated man of any profession should not lack and thin knowledge Is presented to the world in the Bible.

A car ownr recently re marked that she had derived a great deal of Joy from the happiness and appreciation shown by an old lady whom she had taken to ride for the first lime In her life. At the risk of copyright infringement Ihe next par agraph below is taken from the fat philosopher, Walt Mason, of Empo ria, Kansas, on "The Cripple," and Is very graphic: Old Jimpson Jones has spavined limbs, he cannot use them any more: the gay world round him scoots and skims, as he sits by his cottage door, and casts his tired and ancient glims on aulos passing, score by score. The autos glitter like a star, they're painted up in georgeous tones; the back seats often empty are, and well might rest some weary bones; "the Joycarts Journey near and far, but no one stops for Jimpson Jones. The drivers look to left and right for damsels who might like a ride; they'd like to show some maidens bright how smooth and fast their boats can glide; and cripples lan guish through the night, forsaken, sad, and heavy eyed. Old Jimpson Jones has bunged-tip feet that will not stand the walking test; and shin ing cars go down the street and show all kinds of pep and zest; te often sees an empty seat, on which a poor old man might rest. And he Is sick to go afield to country roads where green things grow, to see the orchard and the field, the farm-yards where the roosters crow; oh, such a Joy ride well might yield more pleasure than he'll ever know.
