Ang. 10.

No city In ths country Is more Intimately with the early history of "Tommy" Wilson than Is Columbia. It was here that his father. Dr. Joseph Wilson, a minister of the southern Presbyterian church, brought his family la 1170. to accept In the southern Presbyterlat Theological seminary ths chair of Pastoral and Evangelical Theology.

During bis four yars there ho also acted as supply minister of the First Presbyterian church-It waa here that young 'Tommy," a tall lad of fourteen, attended the famous old "Barnwell Academy" preparatory to entering college. He waa never known, by the name of "Woodrow," but simply as "Tommy." And to all tho old Inhabitants "Tommy" he wilt be to the end of the chapter. When on the afternoon of July I the news of Woodrow Wilsons triumph came, the word went around: 'Tommy won! Hurrah for Tommy." "Know Tommy said Prlnglo Teomaoa, one ot Columbia's attorneys. "Why sure. I used to go to chaos with hlm at Barnwell's school.

He was a nice boy. too; good common sense and good Judgment, and always exceedingly practical. Tea he was bright enough at his books, but Tommy dldq't frighten any of us In those day with fears of his early death from over work or too much He was Just an ordinary boy like the rest of us only It seems now as If he wasn't" One old lady who was a teacher In the Sunday school be attended exclaimed regretfully when shs wss told ot Wilson's. nomination; "If I'd only known Tommy Wilson wss go Ing to be president, I'd have noticed him more particularly when he went to Sunday school! But how was I to know such a thing? He atwsys was a'nlcs'boy, and always had beautiful manners, even as a little fellow, I remember, he, never forgot to pull off his cap to ladles and, say 'Yea, am. Old pr.

Wilson was a regu lar old. Chesterfield himself and he brought up his boys very strictly; He was mowing the- lawn with Iliad kid gloves on when he first met Miss Miss Jessie Woodrow, and It tickled her so shs fell tn love with him on the spot. I don't mean Tommy had oa lilac kid glove, It was Tommy's father, old Dr, Wilson. "The old man was mighty purfcllll-lons and he was very particular about his sons' manners. He always taught, thorn to pull their host to la dles and old gentlemen and to stand up when ladles came Into the room, and to hold a.

chair for a lady when he oat down. Tomy had beautiful manners It's more than the young men have now. But I never noticed anything else special about except that he seemed a very kind- boy, and was always lovely to his sisters and didn't tease and torment them as most boys do. He always seemed very proud of them, especially Annie; they two always were sort of chums. Well, we're all mighty proud of Tommy now." All Columbia Is "proud of Tom my" now and there are many spots in the old city that are being pointed out as Intimately associated with Tommy's own life or with that of his family.

They all seem to stand out from the rest of the town now- all because they belong to "Tommy" or 'Tommy's folks" or 'Tommy" once belonged to them. First and foremost 1 tho old house In which Tommy lived during his boyhood daya here, the old house on the corner of Hampton and Henderson streets, now owned by Mr. J. M. Vno Meter.

Here It was, on the wide lawn, and In the still mors enchanting "back yard" that young Tommy, always an Imaginative child, played his "make-up game" with, his younger brother, Joseph, tha fnvrlte I of these toeing "pirate," the Inventive mind of the older lirolher furnishing tho south Pacific ocean as stage setting, and adventures ss wild and dangerous aa any of Ce.pt Kldd'a for action. About this time Tommy was de vourlng Cooper's sea tales and Mar-ryat's yarns, and though he had never seen any but a toy ship and never been near the ocean, his, mind had grappled with the whole nautic al ecleiwe so far ns concerned his games, and he knew 'and understood the name of every class or type of sailing ship, and the name, place, and use of every (par. ahjeet and shroud. He himself was an admiral, sent out to Investigate with his fleet his younger brother tha ravages being done to traffic in the sees; and many and varied were Ithelr adventure. Fhef-y adventure wss clearly set forth in ths admiral's dally "report" each adventure leading up logically to the next The struggle of "Admiral Wilson" with the south sea pirates was no less real to the boy than are affairs of state to the man.

Dr. Joseph Wilson, taught from 1ST0 to This la a very beautiful square 'of four acres In th heart of the old residence part of the- city, where most of the old time friends of the Wilson family still reelde.

The next legislature of Kansas will he sked to propose a Constitutional amendment, providing for professional Jurors, who shall be specially trained at law schools snd shall be paid good salaries by the state.

Dawson is quoted saying. "The newspapers snd rural telephones maks practically every man In every county familiar With all the facts. theories and grsartp, alrdlng any case of any Importance; therefore. It is practically impossible to get a Jury of Intelligent men who have not formed some opinion of such a case. The Jury system contemplates that a ruin should he tried before a Jury of hie peers.

A few daya later In tha court of common pleas tha bench summoned as a witness "Baron George von Sobeltltl." The usuaj crowd of Idle onlookers and reporters In aearch of a minor sensation pricked up their eara. Representatives of Berlin's oldest and noblest aristocracy are not wont to appear In the court of common pleas. But they opened their eyea very wide as amid the titter of the benoh and the wKnAi and the solicitors and the onlookers a pretty girl of one and twenty, neatly dressed In ths eorrectest of eunvmec garb, stepped up to the railing In front of the bench.

In a few words he explained. Once more the magic word "Travnsvsstlte" went the round. Old But Impoverished Family. Baron George von Zobbeltlti now by permission of th proper authorities converted Into Countess Qerald-Ine von Kobeltlts, ta twenty-one-year-old member of the very ancient but now Impoverished family which hss Included men and women famous In every walk of life. But tha family has fsllen on very evil days.

The father of Countess Qeraldlne Is entitled to a seat In the chapter of the Knlghta Uoapltsllers of St. John, the noblest order In Germany, but a matter of fact Is a saddler In a email way of business and quite uneducated. Son Oeraldln, ta a ladles' tailor and he makes the ladles' clothing not only for himself but also for ths whole of the family And son Gsraldine hss ths smallest waist In Prussia, rathaj under forV-flve centimetres, lis won the prise for email waists at a competition some time ago at whih ths competitors appeared In masks. Nona suspected that he was not a lady of society. From his earliest childhood Baron von Zobelttts showed pronounced Inclination to don gtTls' clothes and to play with dolls and to ply his needle.

These eccentricities have given him much trouble, for his father Is a violent man and the aon has ben obliged to put up with much very harsh treatment and severe whippings at frequent intervals. As toon as hs could claim a will of his own hs flatly refused any longer to wear male clothing and fcegsn to meJce women's clothes for himself, since his furious parents refused to buy him any. In the official medical opinion and description presented by the leading authorities to the police president, vsn Jagow, In support of KoholttU's appeal to be allowed to wear women's clothes tn public there ocura this sentence: He's an Imaginative Tailor. "In his work as tailor he showed Imagination and good taste and ha an extraortdnary talent for convert ing the apparently most uselem things into smart ladtee' wearing apparel. Out of an old horse cloth he ran make a smart winter coat, out of a dls-arded lamp shade a neat and graceful collar for a lady's neck and out of a masa of tiny snipping from the rag-hag he constructs an Extremely smart looking muff.

Out of sn old straw mat he has made a chij ha.t on a Parle model!" Baron von Zobltlti's life so far hss been a long torment. He has steaif-lly refused to wear male sttlre, with the result that kicks and blows have been hi lot when called up for military duties or to answer the military roster. ITe hss been repeatedly arrested by the police for masquerading is the fiublto streets, snd has been bullied and beaten at home. But these troubles are now sit over, for henceforth Baron George Is Countess OTaldlne, and Is entitled to dree as such. Th rrest interest which hem been occasioned by this esse caused the World correspondent to call upon Dr.

Magnus Herschfeld, an authority In such msttera. Pr. Herscfeld Is known In America, where he has freruently stayed for the purporee of hi Investigations.

Tommy spent much of his time in boyhood, always with a book, before htm, for he was a tireless reader from early childhood. But was also as his schoolmates love remember now, a "typical boy" and he often Indulged In his love for climbing trees by scrambling up Into' the branches of a group of luxurious magnolias after the great snowy blossoms. Another spot where young Tommy sometimes climbed magnolia trees was In the gardens of his uncle. Dr. James Woodrow, whose old residence Is still standing at the cor ner of Sumter and Washington streets.

Dr. Jamea Woodrow, th brother of Woodrow Wilson's mother, Jessie Woodrow, was himself a famous scientist, and he astounded and scandalized the southern Pres byterian church by teaching modern biological truths along with theology and advancing the new accept ed theory Of "evolution." For many years "Tommy" was famous only aa Dr. James Wood-row's nephew. Mrs. Felle Woodrow.

the widow of Tommy's uncle, still lives In the old brick mansion with her daughter Marlon. Of course the fame of her huaband's nephew is a very pleasant thing to "Aunt Felle." Her Joy in "Tommy's" final triumph was a prettty thing to aee. "I just couldn't have stood the I 1 'I 1 .4 "1 didn't see how Tommy, could win! against such odds.

Woodrow Wilson's favorite sister; and Woodrow Wilson spent many long weeks there on visits to his sister, tooth during his boyhood and since Toung Annie Josephine Wilson was a noted belie snd beauty.
