A PROFITABLE TRIP.

President Ward Me- with Substantial
Encouragement in Behalf OF YanktOn
College,.
ksv. DIR. Ward. president Of Yankton
college, has returned from an extended
eastern tour in the interest Of the COL
lege. In a conversation 30 day he stated
that this wes his most successful trip
one yieldi lg substantial results for the
college. He found generally q friendly
interest IN the institution. which mani
tested itself in material form. The
wonderful growth of Yankson college
renders necessary o constantly increasing
pecuniary aid until it reaches the self
sustaining point. In the beginning it
had to be created and since its creation
there has been a constant demand for
increased facilities. These demands have
been met as promptly as conditions
would permit, but its officers experience
difficulty in keeping pace with the
patronage the institution enjoys. II is
now full of students and must lengthen
and broaden its facilities to meet future
demands. This success ia @ matter OF
intense qualifications though ii keeps
President Ward constantly busy in mind
and body to provide for the acosuing
achievements his industry invokes. He
has finally succeeded in funding the debt
| of the college and placing it where In
terest demands are less b~hrdensome.
The college owes, on construction &C.

though it is exposed to she %inconveni,
ences OF q debtor. Its future is well
provided for and it's officers do not con.
Germ themselves 50 much about its to-
morrow as its to-day.
Still the college grows. Its theologi
cal department will soon be opened
President Ward has a professor selected
for this department whom he will prob
ably succeed in securing. Within q yea
another professor will be added to the
college work, During the coming sum
mer the ladies' hail must be completed
a chapel building is badly needed AMI
an observatory for the great telescope i
a necessity. These are q few OF the i'm
provements Yankton college is calling
for. All will be secured IN time and 81
will be beneficial not only to the college
but to the community. DR.. Ward say
he is able to demonstrate by the figure
that the money expended in Yankto,
through the medium OF this institutio
more than exceeds the expense OF on
public school eys!em. SO it will be see
that The college is valuable in a pecuni
airy sense. Its career in this new webter
field has been full OF gratifying surprises
Il is q difficult achievement to plant q
institution OF this nature in q new coun
try. Yankton college is not only plsntet
! but growing. It is gaining many friend

Railroad Employe. in India.

Speaking of railroad wages in India,
| find that section men work here for
from three to five cents a day, and
that the roads can get all the men
they want at these prices. Engineers
work on time and distance, and they
are about the highest paid of the rail
road employees. They get about $40 a
month while running regularly, but
they can increase this by extra run
ming to SS5 and 800 a month. The
Indian railways have no conductors
in u sense of the word. The tickets
are collected and examined by men at
the various stations, and the guard
who manages the trains in other re-
spects has nothing to do with the
tickets. Such guards get about $25 a
month, and on the smaller railroads
they receive from 81 to 500 month.
The most of the guards are natives or
half breeds, while a majority of the
engineers are English. 1 don't think
the English engineers are as well post
ed as our American ones. / asked one
of them the weight of his engine. He
stammered and replied that he did not
know. The American engineer can
tell you just what his engine weighs,
how much steam she carries and all
about her.-Erank G. Carpenter.

The BOY on the WASP.

A wasp is a six legged bird that
lives mostly in trees and under the
ave of barns, and you cannot tame
him; he is too busy. Never stroke
his fur the wrong way, for it makes
him mad, and when a wasp is mad l
don't want nuthin' to do with him.
He has what they call a ''stinger,"
and when he goes out a stingerin'
boys must keep away from him. i
leaned up agin one once when he was
busy, and l jumped much as a feet.
Ma had to put a mud pie on the place.
l hit a wasps' nest with a stone once,
and the boss wasp chast me clean
acrosst the lot so fast that when l got
over the fence l tore my pants; then
pa he spanked me till l wished 1 had let
the old wasp sting me.
Some say wasps make honey, but if
their honey is as hot as their singer

stingerin' amt so bad at first as the

Miss Florence Warden wrote her
celebrated novel, THE House on the
Marsh" while she was filling an en-
gagement at the Haymarket theatre
in London. The book proved a ire
mendous success and she received a
much larger sum from her publishers
than had been agreed upon before its
appearance. Miss Warden then dra-
matized the story and starred for two
years in the leading part and devout-
ed her hours off the stage to writing
other weird and original tales. She
had adopted the stage as a profession
simply because she was dependent on
her own efforts for her support. AT
first she tried the life of a governess as
the only path, according to English
precedent and example, open to the
young Englishwoman who must earn
her daily bread, and she found it a
dreary enough round Of drudgery to
which starvation seemed preferable.
Her ambition was to write, and the
success of her first efforts enabled her
to retire from the stage, and devote
herself entirely to literature. Current
