on THE GLORY OF YOUTH.

Ex-senator Ingalls, Address to Kan
sas University Students.
A few days ago ex-senator John ]. In
gals addressed the students of the Kansas
University, Lawrence. III the course of his
remarks he said:
ut is magnificent to be young. There is
a superb glory and fascination about youth.
The morning of life, the springtime of the
soul. Youth is the enviable epoch. We
lose something when We cease to be young
for which time brings no equivalent or
compensation. OF youth everything can be
predicted. The heroes, the artists, the
poets, the philosophers, the leaders of the
bar, the great captains of industry are
young. The wealth, the pleasures, the dig
mites, the destnieS of the world are the
inevitable heritage oil the young. Some of
these heirs of fame and fortune and felic-
ity have no doubt are here, but as they
look back from the apex and high divide
of success and recall this hour they will
feel that there is no joy the world can
give like that 1t takes away when We cease
to be young. To US who have taken our
places and done our work comes the DESC
lating thought that we shall grow no more.
We have been weighed and most of us
found wanting. We have been scrutiniZed,
gagged and measured. Our specific grav-
ity or levity, our cubic contents and our
dew point have been ascertained and reg
istered; we have become monotonous. The
earth grows fatigUed with us, but it greetS
the young with ardent and impatient ac-
clama ton. The young are to do the work
and win the victories in the future, and
there are many to be won. They are to re-
inforce the wasting ranks and fill up the
skeleton regiments of conquering armies
of the civilization of the twentieth century.
LIES undesirable Civilizations may subside;
it's hopes and fate may chill and grow dim
with years; it's undismayed courage may
falter at last; its daring dreams of con-
quest may smolder to erlbers and gray
ashes, but the unforgotten radiance of
youth sheds an imperishable luster upon
the wrinkled and venerable earth from the
golden and purple fissure of the eastern
sky. 1t would therefore be fiction and In
sincerity to pretend to be unconscious of
the honor and the opportunity of appearing
before these chosen representatives of the
youth Of Kansas, or to be unmoved By the
pathetic but inspiring suggestions of the
place and the hour"

What the Senate is For.

Sir John Macdonald, the first prime min
ister Of Canada, was fond of rela ting this
story to illustrate the need Of an upper
house:
"Of what use is the Senator" asked JEFF
ferson. as he stood before the fire with a
cup of tea in mis- hand pouring the tea into
the saucer.
You have answered your own question"
replied Washington.
What you mean?"
WY do you pour that tea into the
saucer?'
ITO cool it."
Even So said Washington, "the Sem
ate is the saucer into which we pour legis-
lation to cool"

and then along it till we found a place that
suited us. Pres entity the storm that had
been threatening all day broke over us,
and We drove on and on through the fiat,

these also vanished. and there was no veg
citation but the prickly furze. Rocks took
the pllce of orssts, and stones of flowers.
The winds sweep too fierCely over this
region for any plalt to hold up its head.
After about an hour we left the open
country and began driving through a city
of the dead-past castles and manOrs,
ChurC hes and abbays, crumbiing to pieces
untenanted, or turned int COW yards.
From here to the ocean, several miles

A BULKY COPPER COIN.
Issued as silver by Charles XII of
Sweden.

From the New York World
Karl Jornsen, Swede, living near
youngstown, N. Y, has a coin that has
been in his family for close on two CEN
turtles. He claims that it's value is between
500 and $1,000 but he has no intention of
Selling 1t. 1t is a Swedish coin and weighs
over a pound.
When Charles XII of Sweden became
financially embarrassed through his pas
sion for fighting, he had as minister of
finance Baron Goertz, a Russian, whose
ideas, it would seem. in this exacting age,
were refresringly original. On the baron's
advice Charles set his seal upon copper
half dollars that weighed a pound and
quarter, and his people accepted them
they had to-and carried them around,
though they sometimes had to get a horse
and wagon to do 1t.
Jornsen's heirloom Is 3 IL inches long by
81 wide, with an average depth of Is
to BIG of an inch. Its correct weight is
twenty ounces avoirdupois. The compost
ton is copper, from the mines of Sweden,
taken in its purity and pressed into service
without special efforts at refinement. The
weight represents the value of silver half
dollar or daler in I'LL In shape this ex-
traordinary coin is rectangular, with the
corners cut off for convenience in handling.
If the coin be taken as a specimen of the
skill possessed in King Charles mint the
knowledge of treating metals was crude
big ingots and fattened them out with
sledges upon anvils, leaving marks of the
hammer at every GLOW, so that ridges and
hollows We're formed on the coins. Then
half-daler rtamp was applied to the center
Of the bit of copper boilerplate. This
stamp had been used only on silver half
callers. but when the white metal disap-
peared the king said of the copper, This
is silver" and it was silver to all intents
and purposes in the eyes Of his patriotic
subjects. Then at each of the four cor
ners was stamped the reverse silver half
daler sign, crown with the letters &C
K. s." and the date III underneath all
embossed with a heavy rim. The three
letters stood for Charles, King of Sweden
Only a few dozen or so of these relics
are in existence. The National Swedish
Museum at Stockholm has several. One
was sold recently in San Francisco at an
auction of Swedish coin collector, to
German enthusiast, for s642.
AMMAN, French protectorate of Asia
has silver coin that weighs as much as
fifteen United States silver dollars, and it
also possesses the largest gold coin in cir
culation, called the loot" monster disk
that weighs as much as 325 American gold
dollars. The gold piece which comes next
in size to the "loof' is the "obang" of
Japan, coin containing about SAT worth
of pure gold.

Are golden-lined and amethyst;
Slowly the fower-buds unfured
Bend backward laden low with dew.
Far off the pines are blue with mist,

The wild-birds madly sing and call;
The rocky brook In shade and sheen
Goes whisp ring by, but down the glen
Roars in mimic waterfall,

Across the fields Of bending corn
The wet winds blow-a, horn of dew
Each corn-top holds. The shining morn
Opens the wild ;eonvGvuus,
In countless fragile cups of blue,

For those asleep we give a sigh,
For eyes closed row against the light,
Deaf to the winds that wander by,
Blind to the beduty Of the day,
The namelcss rapture of the night,
After the rain!
Ard one there is whose mild blue eyes
Are closed in calmly senseless sleep,
Forgetful of their kindred skies.
Blind to the beauty of the day,
Their kindred skies serene and deep,

SENT AS WRITTEN,
Surprised Telegraph Operator Who
Corrected the Spelling.

Corrected the Spelling.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Several years ago young man, whom
we will call H. was employed as night oper-
ator at small town in Illinois.
The second night of his service a circus
arrived in town, and with it great many
farmers from the surrounding country H
went on duty at o'clock in the evening
About an hour later a stranger came in to
send telegram. AS soon as he had writ
ten and paid for the message the operator
sat down to the instrument and proceeded
to tick off the telegram not including ad-
dress and signature:
Have sean the party send niece the
muney."
When the operator had nearly finished
sending the message, the receiving operator
telegraphed back, What you givin' us?"
referring to the spelling in the message.
The rules of the Western Union company
prohibit any conversation on the wire be-
tween operators, but nevertheless this rule
is frequently broken. 1t is also & strict rule
that messages shall always he sent aid
words spelled as they are written, even if.
as is often the case, the words are spelled
wrongly.
But at the time H took the job he was
as ignorant of-these rules as an Indian, so
to the operators query as to what he was
"givin' him. he replied thusly: Make it
read. Have seen the party; send ME the
money"
That's more like it, said the receiving
Il guess the bloke that wrote it rever
saw the inside of a school," said the send
ing brass FOUNDER
The next moment he was chilled to the
marrow by the soft words that waited Ger
his shoulder:
Young fellow, that was cipner mes
sage. 1 am a detective and also an oper-
ator. 1 heard your remarks on the wire
and If you don't send that message the way
wrote 1t shall sue your blamed company
for $4,000. And, further, If you don't take
back and apologize for the remarks you
made about my schooling 1 will pound your
head off" These words came from the
''bloke" that wrote the message.
1t is superfiuous to add that the apology
was forthcoming and the telegram sent
again according to the "blokes' rules for
spelling.
