Anot her Nightshirt ’Tale.
The Pathfinder.
Gen Von Soapsudski, a popular
and well known Germon (on wash
days at least), Is quite a seasoned i
I traveler. Always w’lien he journeys |
overland by train he is accompanied I
by a faithful valet named Heinrich.
When the general uses a s’eeping ear
it is Heinrich's duty to assist hiqi in
a suitcase and carry the latter to
his own compartment in order that
his master, whose waist-line measures
some ,T 6 inches (when the balloon is
fully inflated), may hot be unduly
crowded in bis berth.
Some time agp ttie general had oc
casion to journey from Danzig to
Berlin to attend an important meet
ing. As usual Heinrich had assisted j
his master into bod and had carried '
his regular clothes with him back
to the coach in which he was riding, i
The genera! slept peacefully through
the night and awoke when the train
was about three-quarters' cf an hour
front his destination. He was deep
ly chagrined soon afterward to learn
thut the conch in which thb valet
was riding had been detached from
the train in the'night and with Hein
rich on board was well on the way
to tlie Russian border, some 200 miles
distant, \ I |
With the valet of course had gone
nil cf the general's appparel except
his nightshirt. Railway attendants
attempted to find amohg the pas
sengers some one who could loan the
unfortunate man enough clothes to
make a respectable landing but as
luck would have it no one cou'd be
• discovered With clothing sufficiently
large in the girth. The general's
position would have been an nwkwnrd
and embarassing one if he had not
'chanced to think of a feasible way
out of the difficulty. He telegraphed
to the station in Berlin to have ready
a Red Cross ambulance and when the
train arrived he clambered into this
conveyance, wrapped in a blanket.
He was conveyed to n totel and
from there h«< telephoned to a tailor,
and to other artisans qualified to re
store his missing outfit of clothes.
He was soon fitted out and he attend
, ed the meeting as if nothing had
happened.
The afternoon bridge club was
holding its weekly session. “Ladies,”
announced the president, “it lias
been moved and second that there
shall be no conversation at the tables.
What slinll we do with the motion?”
“I suggest." said a sprightly
young woman, “that we discuss it
while we p'ay.”
THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE '
“A HOME IS WHERE YOUR
HEART IS.”
Most any place is home to you.
Your heart's a-rovin' wild;
Because it once had lover
And because it once had child.
Your child has grAwn to manhood,
Your lover's gone alone.
You sit beside an empty* hearth.
Where one by one they've flown.
You eliose the world's immortals.
But children soon grow tall.
And Mot tier, dear's a vagrant here.
So roving is your call.
Whose sorry but your own soul.
Your loss is one of* kin,
With common nature's story.
And common nature's sin.
The apple trees still blossom,
''Where the birds still build and nest,
Put any place : .s home to you.
When roving suits yon best.

Minister “Lays” Ghost.”
The Pathfinder.
In Leicestershire, Eng'and, is an
old rectory, an old-fashioned, rambling
building which has served in t.!,e past
| as a residence of some of the nobility
I of the county and. according to tra
-1 dition, 'lias been the scene of several
tragic deeds. For some thirty years
the people living in the vicinity of
the old house had beeen annoyed by
what they considered ghostly demon
strations. The servants about the
place firmly insisted that the house
was haunted and a number of visitors
declared that while staying in t'lie
house they had had strange experi
ences which could not be exp.rfined
by attributing them to natural ngen
, cies.
j The rector of a neighboring parish
who had once slept in the ’house de
clared that he was alarmed in* the
•early morning hours by a violent tug
ging at the bed clothes. Although
lie held on as tightly as he could the
e othes were puked off the bed. When
he lighted a candle he found nothing
wrong and the door was still securely
locked. A careful, systematic search
failed to furnish any explanation of
the strange occurrence. Another per
s n who occupied the room at another
time reported a like experience.
Then a strange thing happened.
Another minister, garbed in the habil
iments of his office, entered the haunt
ed apartments and commanded the
spirits to depart “in the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.”
Ever since this exorcism, it is said,
no ghostly manifestation of any kind
"has been seen by any one.
What Shall Be Done With Columbus’
Statue?
The Pathfinder.
There is a statue of Christopher
Columbus standing before a hotel at
Colon, near the Atlantic end of the
Panama canal, majestically surveying
all the ships that pass through. But
it has Bo definite status. It Ims
not been christened by being properly
transferred, iormally unveie’.ed and
made thq occasion* of a so'emn speech.
The satue was made by an Italian
sculptor on the order of Empress Hu
genie, of'Franee, and was intended for
Vera Crnz, Mexico. It was during
the brief time that Maximalian wa
the so-ca'led emperor of that country
The statue arrived in 1870 and went
to Colon, a gift to Colombia.
The present difficulty arose from
the wording of a proposed bronze tab
let to be placed at the base of the
statue This matter was taken up
by the Knights of Columbus who pro
posed the following inscription:
“Christopher Columbus bequeathing
to mankind his discovery the New
World. Designed in 1864 by the
Italian sculptor, Vinvenzo Vela, and
presented in 1866 to the New World
by the Empress Eugenie.”
Objection was raised that the em
press tiad not presented the statile to
the “New. World” and, that, besides
the “New World” is, not a greogj-api
cal or political entity capab'e of re
reiving gifts. It was urged that
it would be a historical mistake to
make the tablet say any such thing.
In the meantime the statue stands
without its bronze tablet, during the
settlement of the controversy, in the
city of Colon —which is Spanish for
Cojumbus.
When it gets its tablets on straight
it will stand officially and with more
dignity.
He Couldn’t Stop It.
Tattle Edward and his siter Mav
hafi quarreled. After an early sup
per, mother endeavored to re-establish
friendly relations, finally quoting to
them the Bible verse, “Let not the sun
go down upon thy wrath."
Turning to Edward she said: “Now,
Edward, are you going to let the sun
go down on your wrath?” . |
Edward squirmed a little as he
looked into her face.
“Well, how can I stop it?” he
asked.
What’s In a Name?
In certain pfcrts of Florida people
marry young. A youthful gaint was
accosted by a friend.
“I expect ye're glad ye're goin' to
be' twenty-qne, Jake, so ye can vote?”
I “Don’t cate so much about voting,”
| replied Jake, "but I'm glad about it.
Now I can teach my oldest boy to
call me ‘Dad.’ So far I hain't had
the nerve to make him call me any
, thing but Jake,”

MODEL OF JACKSON IS

In Actual Carving on Stone Moun
tain Memorial.
, Wash i lgton, Nov. 28. —Tho figure I
i of G eneral Stonewall Jackson, .eon-1
tnined in the present Augustus Lnke
man model of the Stone Mountain i
• memorial, is not intended to be a’
prof>or likeness, the Washington com
mittee of the Stone Mountain Memo
. rial Association declared today.
In a formal statement, the eommit
, tee, which is headed by Admiral Cary
, Grayson, said the figure of General
J Jackson is merely to show his posi
, tiop in the central group, including
. General'Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson
j Davis, '.president of the Confederacy,
and is not to be used as a model for
, the altual egrviu. Prior to begin
. ning ifce carving the sculptor is mak
. iug careful study of the features of
j General Jackson from approved por
. traits, the statement said, and the per
fected model will be submitted to au-
I- thorities before used for that pur
pose.
, "Oqt of several figures shown in
the central group.” tho statement eon
? tinned, “only two —those of General
, Lee and Jefferson Davis, heading the
procession—were intended to be cor
rect at. this time T " h 't s
, are tlrerc simply to indicate their po
sit ions when ttie project is cump.et
> ed."
I Mr. Lukemau lias submitted the
I Lee and David models to a number of
Confederate veterans who knew the
characters personally, it’ was added,
, “and the unanimous verdict was that
the models were excellent reprodue
’ liens.”
Native Talent Called Back.
, Charlotte Observer.
One of the week’s incidents in “as
j cemleney” which we must not over
, ook was the bringing back to the
, staie of a fine bit of native talent.
. Duke University was in search of a
master in mathematics, and in this
ease as in all others, it wanted to
| secure the best So, the trustees
went down to Decatur, where Agnes
Scot: is located, and brought home
Prof. W. W. Rankin, Mecklenburg
product of fine neeomp’ishment in the
, field f f mathematics and for five years
filling that chair at Agues Scott.
| Professor Rankin goes to Duke Uni
versity as head of that department
in 'The richest university in Ameri
ca.” Professor Rankin is not so far
advanced in years, because he is a
graduate of the A. and E. College, at
, Raleigh, having had finishing touches
ptit 10 his education at various insti
tutes, including the University at
Chapel Hill, Yale and Columbia. He
was promoter of organizations in
mathematics not only in his native
state but in other sections. He is
accomplished in the art of mathe
matics and will prove an adornment
to the faculty of Duke University.
. Coloring the Truth.
The Pathfinder.
A guileless rustic who had applied
for a situation on a railroad emerged
from the examination room and in
formed his expectant relatives that, he
was color blind. “But you can’t be,”
said his father, “you are no more color
blind than I am.”
"I know t'aat, father,” was the re
ply, but it all comes uv bein’ per
lite.”
“Wlmt do you mean? Explain
yourself."
"Well. I went into the room an'
a man held something up for me to
look at, ‘Come,’ said he, "this is
green, isn’t it. You are positive it's
* green'—quite pleadin’ like, an' tho’ I
could see plain enough it wui red.
I couldn’t find it in my heart to tell
him so. So I agreed with him, and
they bundled me out.”
Wifey—Oh, darling, what a hor
rible suit!
Hubby—Yes, dear, I didn’t know
it looked so bad. And the worst of
it is that it is guaranteed ,to wear

The Washington Duke Hotel seems

Presumably, the college element war
predominant. If so, it is not the
first time that college beys have font)-'
expression for' their overflowing vi
tality in the destruction of property
It is not the first time that college
boys have assumed that they are en
titled to special privileges and immun
ities not enjoyed by others. It is
not the first time that they have mixed
whiskey with their fun.
Neither the whiskey nor t'.ie ns
sumption that they are favored witl
special immunities under an unwrit
ten law is to bo condoned. In spite
of some pessimistic critics, it is very
probable that drinking in colleges ii
not nearly so general a* it was a few
years ago. It is also probable that
the improvement in the treatment ae
eordod freshmen extends a'ong the
whole line of college conduct and
there lias been a similar improvement
in the manners df collegians to otliei
and Hie property of others.
But it is very evident that oollegi
authorities should show more respon
sibility for instilling the proper con
ception of college work in those, otu

This group makes up a large propor
tion of students in-almost every co‘
lege. They go to college becaust
they are sent, because it seems to b(
“the right thing." because they have
been trained at home in t'.ie belie
that a college education is a mattei
of course.
To n sizeable number of students
(aHd this number seems to be evet
increasing) college training is not c
matter of eourse. Behind them, they
ltave no college-trained fathers and
mothers to set them examples. They
are breaking through, without means
by the sheer force of their own am
bitious. The process means, not
dances, not liquor, not fraternities and
i few social pleasures save tlje collegt
contacts. It means, on the othei
hand, window-washing, yard-cleaning
clothes-preßsing, wood-cutting, fur
nace-tending and a thousand and on<
odd jobs that this adventuresome bam
of youths has found that folks wan
done.
This group ought not to have t
behr the stigma of the rioutous
thoughtless ones who have nothing
better to do with their time and n
higher coneeeption of their obligate n

82.000,000 IN ROAD
CONTRACTS SET DEC. I
Adequate Finance Assured Fo
Many More Months of Road Build
ing at Present Pace.
Raleigh, Nov. 28.—Two millio;
dollars worth of highway contract
schethtled for letting December f
will bring the state's total investmen
in new highway construction begu
during 1925 to approximately S2O,
- 000,000, setting a notable pace for
the first 12 months of an administra
tion that is majoring in both
economy and progress.
Figures obtained from the state
highway commission today list th(
mileage involved in the investment
at 650, of which 425 is hferd sur
faced construction, and December "f
--letting will add 80 miles, CO of them
asphalt or concrete.
Chowan Bridge.
On December 22, the commission
will let contract for the Chowan
river bridge, a mammoth structure
that is to connect Bertie and Cho
wan counties and reclaim for North
Carolina territory a half dozer
northeastern counties which have
been here to fore “Virginia cities-"
The last legislature authorized a
half million dollars for the construe
tion of the bridge, the amount to
be refunded from toll charges.
The commission’s figures on the
cost of the years’ new projects pre
sents a reeprd that stacks up with
the big construction period inau
gurated with the first $50,000,000
highway bond -issues. Actual mile
age completed in 1925, offeials es
timated, may run above 1,000 miles
and exceed any twelve months period.
Actual figures on complettea mileage,
or the cost, are. trot yet available,
pending the annual check up at the
end of the perioid-
Work to Continue.
Adequate finances for the con
tinuance of the present rate of con
struction hrottgh many more months
have been assured through mghwny
bond issues of the legislature, county
loans and - federal aid. Highway
Chairman Frank Page reported to
Governor McLean some months ago
that road building during the first
two years of the McLean aaministra
tion wou'd exceed construction fig
ures for any other like period. The
governor is enthusiastically behind
the program, and it will receive
further boosting during his tenure in
office.
