Georgia School of Technology was one
of the most remarkable ovations ever
given anyone in Ath-tta.

metaphorically gathered the hoys up
in h!s arms for a hug and then set
them down again before him while
he made a plain talk and gave them
some solid advice.

Odd Way to Choose Pastor.
A We ;• Side congregation was
railed upon not. long ago to (choose a
new pastor. The last three (ministers
had been personae non gratae with
most, of the parishioners, and before
selecting another the congregation did
some pretty tall thinking. There ..*.8
°z ;
Preacher after preacher was invited
to the pulpit for a trial sermon, and
all, in the final analysis, were reject¬
ed by the female arbiter. At last
there came along a possible incum¬
bent who met with her approval.
“The reason 1 am cure he will give
satisfaction,” she raid, “is because
he has the right kind of a wife for a
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants to at home, and
doesn’t sass back. I found out long
ago that a man who hasn’t that priv¬
ilege at. home works off his spleen
elsewhere. A minister vents it on his
congregation. That was why we
couldn’t stand the last preacher. This
one will he all right. We won’t hear
a peep out of him.
And upon that, unique recommenda
tion the congregation ar ually did give
tbe 4 -v»/\ nnn man 1 a, /-.oil call. According Anrnrrlmcr to to In.st last nr- ac
counts both he and the parishioners
were doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.—New York Press.
Washington Elm Dying.
Age has so weakened and decayed
the tree under which Washington
took command of the American Army
on July 3, 1775, that its life is be¬
lieved to be nearly ended.
The Washington Elm, loqg venerat¬
ed as the site of Indian f/ounqijs as
treatment in order that it might be
maintained, but the best that could
bo done has not prevented gradual
wasting away. Recently a large limb
had to be removed, and it is feared
that others soon must be treated in
like manner.
The tree is estimated to be more
than throe hundred years old.—Phila¬
delphia Inquirer.
Ago and Brain Work. I
The belief of Sir James Crichton- |

Browne that brainworkers achieve j
their best, work in later middle age |

career of a few of the grand old men |
who are still with us, many of whom
are as busy as in their younger days. ;
