Mr. Beid’s home was near Cedar- ville while mine was a t the county seat, Xenia. ' Mr. Beid’s fathe r was of old South Carolina Cohvenantor, stock, arid a ru ling elder in - the Covenanter church a t Cedarviile; his mother of Hew .England pu ritan blood, hence his name "Whltelaw. 1 first m e t him a t the academy as a pupil of Dr, Hugh, McMillan. .Mrs. McMillan was an au n t of Geri, A .

Beld’s home was on a fa rm near Cedarviile and I often teas his'guest a t dinner and our study was an I n ­ d ian mound near the-house. H is love for the home a°nd his mother, wfxosurvide h e r husband, was showxi when ho became noted and wealthy, by rebuilding the old homestead and preserving his m o the r's room intact, the new bu ild ing being eteeted around th is one and hiding i t until you entered its door. And wlien slievvisited him a t Xew York-he would send his private car to Cedar- ville and if she was no t ready to go lie would .telegraph orders to side track i t un til slip Was ready. -The children of Mr. B f id’s old classmates have ever been ’ the re­ cipients of h is k indness when oppor tun ity o ffe red .' This same sp irit has gained for h im the lasting esteem of his associates.

One of them Whitelaw’Bcousin, a Beid and whom we called Com­ men tator Beid^ for the homilies he delivered In society hall. This part­ nership in batching lasted bu t one season, bu t i t did not- term inate -be­ cause i t was too •expensive, for We lived on S i cents a week apiece. Bu t B e id and I were near neighbors in our new quarters in the college dor­ mitory, he occupying two roonls on the second floor, I on the th ird , while the first floor was filled with normals whom we oollego hoys called “ Greasy n o rm a ls ,” Whltelaw, during one season of oar senior year, w ith another class­ mate, D r.

We were also member# of the sable liter­ a ry society arid fratern ity , D. X .

Now bury the bowl of your pipe In hot coals, leaving the stem, extending over tho edge. After waiting a few moments you may place the lighted end of a taper to the end of the stem, and a flams will Immediately begin burning, for there will now be a flow of gas through the pipe, and you wilt have a flame at the end of the stem as long as the coal continues to distill gas.
