The President of John Brisben walkers
Popular University.
Rev. DR.. Z. n Potter, who has been
chosen as the president Of the popular
university enterprise which John Bris
ben Walker is to launch under the name
of the Cosmopolitan Educational Uni
versity Extension, is prominent and
well known educator and a distinguish
ed divine. He has served as president of
both Union and Hobart colleges and
has been one of the prime movers in the
educational work done by the Protestant
Episcopal church.
Eliphalet Mott Potter was born in
Schenectady, n. Y, about 81 years ago
His father was Bishop Alonzo Potter
After being educated at Union college
and Berkeley Divinity school he was or
dained as an Episcopal priest. For a
number of years he did mission work in
the Lehigh valley, Pennsylvania. He
was also an army chaplain and in 1865
became rector of church in South
Bethlehem, Pa He was secretary and
professor of ethics at Lehigh university
for five years and in 1871 went to ST.
Paul's church at Troy, N. Y. The same
year he was elected president Of Union
college and resigned in 1884 to become
president of Hobart college. 1t was
about this time that he declined the
Office of Protestant Episcopal bishop of
Nebraska.
At the time DIR. Potter received the
western call he was travelling through
the cattle country, and it was on this
trip that an incident happened which
made him famous throughout the west

DIR. L. N. POTTER.

He was at the ranch of the Ogalalla
company when word was brought that
there was to be a lynching at Blue
Creek ranch, 60 miles distant. DIR. Pot
ter at once started with the intention of
preventing the deed. The prisoner, a
man named Wilson, had tied an enemy
on a broncho's back and set him adrift
on the prairie. DIR. Potter found two
cowboys guarding Wilson, who was to
be killed at sundown. The reverend
man implored the cowboys to save the
mans life, but they refused Then he
prayed with them,s ,s%ut made no impress

his coat aud proceeded to thrash the

Blue Grass Pasture.

There is no better pasture grass
than the blue grass, which in some
parts of the country is known as June
grass. Its roots run near the surface,
and the pasture is therefore sweet and
good so soon as the grass starts. In
midsummer these shallow roots have
another great advantage. They are
benefited by the light rains which only
penetrate one or two inches, and which
will not reach down to the clovers,
whose roots run more deeply. The
clover roots strike down into the sub
soil i'll time of drought, and the clover
grown then is best With June grass
the best pasture is in June, as later it
will probably be dried out too much. -
