There was an amusing episode at the
commencement exercises Of the George
town university. Archbishop Ryan OF
Philadelphia delivered al eloquent ad-
dress On Civil and Religions Liberty
At its conclusion Cardinal Gibbons was
asked to say a few words The cardinal
expressed the pleasure with which ne
had listened to the archbishop and then
recalled the famous will CT Stephen Gil
rard, the Philadelphia philanthropist'
who, in bequcathing the money for the
Girard institute, stipulated expressly
that no religious instruction should be
ever included in the curriculum. he
then passed on to Daniel Webster's
great speech On that will and added
that never since That speech had lie
heard the subject treated in SO mastery
q manner as it had been handled today
by the distinguished archbishop OF Phll-
adelphia. Indeed it was striking CO.
incidence that not only did the two
speakers agree on many thoughts, but
that in many instances the reverend
speaker today had made eloquent use OF
Identical language Of his great prede-
cessor.
The audience smiled audibly and
looked at Archbishop Ryan. The latter
arose when Cardinal Gibbons had con-
claded. II feel that the words Of Car
dinal Gibbons call for some little ex-
PLANTATION ca my part" he said. Il can
only say that, while I am proud to have
agreed with Daniel Webster, l did 1t un-
Willingly, for / have never read the
speech to which the cardinal refers
But drew my inspiration from a most
excellent and interesting work written
by Cardinal Gibbons himself On the
subject, and it is not impossible that
was so carried away by the force and
beauty CT his language that may have
unconsciously repeated his very words.
will leave it to tho audience to draw
their own conclusions. " Then the audi
euce looked at Cardinal Gibbons for a
counter explanation, but the prelate
smiled good naturedly and made no re-
sponse.-Washington Cor. Baltimore

Endurance Of Man.

The question Cf the endurance OF the
man of today is always anth-opologlc-
ally curious when compared with the
past. The general consensus of opinion
tends to the belief that the average
primitive man, as far as physique IS
concerned, was net q whit better OH
than is his descendant Of today. Even
special traits may be denied to the first.
Environment would, Of course, have
made changes-adapted him to peculiar
climates. As to the question of endur-
ancc, Mr. Caspar Whitney shows con-
vincingly that the white man was quite
the equal OF the Indian in the far north,
and that the white man could keep up
with the Indian in running and even
outpace him, and, besides that, could
bear privation and exposure to q terribly
low temperature, just as we'll as the In
dian. The white man had certain ad-
vantages even, due to higher cerebral
development, such as will power. In
fact, Mr.. Whitney knew better how to
take care of himself and preserve his
vital force than did his redskin compan-
ions. But there was one single advan-
tage the Cree or the half breed did pos
sess, and it was that from constant use
of the sole of the foot the epidermis Of
the Indian was just there an inch thick.

HELP THE CHILDREN
In Their Efforts for a Christmas

Several of the good ladies have re-
sponded to the State Heralds call to
contribute to the Sunday school Christ
mas tree of the Methodist church on
Ninth street AS before stated this Sun
day school is composed in the main of
poor children, and while they are making
no demands. unless assisted, many will
not receive presents. A little toy of some
nature or almost anything to cheer the
little hearts and impress them that they
have been remembered by Santa Claus
on his annual visit is all that is de-
sired. In what way could the Christian
better show his faith by his works, or the
man or woman of the world show their
appreciation of the kindness Of Provi-
dence in making their lot one in which
they can enjoy the luxuries of life than
by contributing to the pleasure of the less
fortunate. Send the children something,
If only tin horn, and something better
and more substantial if you are able, and
the bread cast upon the waters will be
picked up again even in this life.
