Just before we arrived young fellow
from Seattle, of a wealthy family, was
drowned at this narrow bridge while at
tempting to cross before the structure
was complete. He lost his footing and
help came too late. The teamster who
had the boys goods returned to town
with the body and demanded ten dollars
from the dead boys partner. When it
vas refused the teamster took it from
the pocket of the corpse. When the men
ut camp heard of it they at once held a
ceting and there was talk of lynching
out at last they gave the teamster five

FARMER AND MEGAPHoNE.
A Pilot on n Boat Stops a Horse in a
Cornfield Near By

near ny.
was on the upper Ohio this sum
mer when the river was low and was
much amused over the use to which a
pilot put megaphone. He bought the
thing to call ashore any message that
might have been given the boat to
carry. This was to save time, for those
little beats in the local trade are a
great deal like the old-fashioned mail
carriers anything to accommodate
the people along the bank.
We were il the pilot house, and the
boat was running up a chute near the
West Virginia side Of the river. In a
cornfeld was an old farmer. who was
following a plow behind an old flea
bitten gray that only needed a half in
vitation to stop at any time. The pilot
put the megaphone to his mouth and
shouted: "Whoa!" and the old gray
whoaed
The farmer heard the sound, and he
thought, evidently, that a neig Dor was
there or thereabout, for he looked
around to see from whence the sound
came. Then he tossed clod at the old
horse and started him up.
''Whoa." said the pilot, and again the
old horse stopped. Then the old RUDE
went to the river bank and looked
down in the willows, but not soul
could he see. He looked up and down
and then at the steamboat, and
tnI in, IL
couldn't afford to waste any time in
looking for the ghost, for he went back
to the pillow and started on with his
job.
Once more the joking pilot said
whoa and again the horse stopped
dead still. You could see from the boat
that the old fellow was all mixed up,
for he looked up and down the river and
then at the hillside behind him to see
if he could find the man who was work
ing him and his old horse. He made up
his mud thaJ he would take ii out of
the old gray. and to fix for the occa-
sion he went to the underbrush and cut
a stick that was ten feet long. He
When the pilot hollered "whoa!" again
the old man gave the gray a lick that
sounded clear to the boat. We could
almost hear him say:
Thar, gol darn you, I'll teach you to
stop when you hear spook hollerin'
at ye."
But the pilot kept up the good work
and hollered whoa, whoa, whoa!" md
again and again the old man hit the
gray. Finally it looked as if he had
caught on, for he Let the old horse stop
while he watched the boat
Then the pilot thought he had had
enough fun and he called out
Feed the old gray; feed him. He's
so hungry that he can't work. That's
all the matter with him"
Then old RUDE got his voice and we
heard him say: "You go to thunder
with your old voice! It'd stop a rail-
road train anwwheres," Cincinnati

Cooperation of Religious Denominations al
the State University.

| From Bulletin No. 7.
Several religious denominations in
| Colorado have been considering the adj
visibility of centering their educational
interests at the State University. At the
Twenty-sixth Annual Session of the
Presbyterian Synod of Colorado held in
Boulder, Oct. 1921, the following recon-
mendatlons were made and accepted by
the Synod:
First-The supervision by the Synod
Of the moral and spiritual interests of the
Presbyterian students in attendance at
the State University.
Second-The appointment of minis.
ter of the church to the work of super
vision, presumably in connection with a
lectureship in ethics or kindred subjects
Third-The. appointment of Rev. w.
Robson hoffman, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Boulder to said
work.
Fourth-The recommendation to Synod
OF the appointment OF an assistant to
Mr.. hoffman to work with him and under
his direction in parish and other labors
the salary of said assistant not to exceed
$500.
Fifth-The.leavin of said appointment
to a committee appointed by the Synod
said committee to consist of tWo members
of the Synod, together with the pastor
and session of the First Presbyterian
church of Boulder.
Slxth-The appointment Of a commit
tee to devise plans for the payment. of the
salary of Mr.. Notman's assistant.
1t was further recommended that the
minister for the said work of supervision
be appointed every year at the regular
meeting of the Synod and that the APP
pointment of the assistant be made at the
same time. The Synod then appointed
DR.. barley and DR.. Boyle as the COM
mittee to act with the pastor and session
of the church in the appointment of an
assistant. A committee was also APP
pointed to raise funds for paying the as
SlStant.

The Diocese of Colorado of the Epis-
COpal Church has also recently formulated
| plans regarding cooperation near the
State University. 1t is the purpose of the
Diocese of Colorado to draw its educa-
tional work as close as may be into touch
with the State University; not to dupli-
cate in any way the work of the Univer-
sity in any part of the State, but to avail
| itself of the standards and results of the
University work, and supplement by SYM
Pathy and cooperation what may be
needed in the judgment of the Diocese
for the welfare of her students at the Uni
verslty. To this end the Bishop pur-
chased, some time since, five acres i'm
medlately east and co-terminus with the
University campus. On this plot it is
purposed to erect dormitories for both
men and women, so soon as the financial
condition of the Diocese shall permit, to
promote the social comfort and welfare
of the church Students In these build
ilgs it is the ultimate purpose to place
resident chaplain, to live in connection
h the dormitory for men, and lady
t. care for the welfare of the women In
tie end a chapel will also be built to
maintain service of daily morning and
evening prayer. Meantime the Bishop
has taken the initial step by appointing
the Rev. Ernest F. Smith, NJ. A., grad
uae of the University of Oxford, Lincoln
college, as lecturer on Apologetics and
Christian Evidences, his salary being
duly provided. He will deliver course
o. lectures before the University this fall
and winter. The official title of Mr..
Smith will be Associate Chaplain of the
Cathedral Foundation at the State Uni
vcrsity. He will begin his work at once.
Already other denominations in Colo
RADIO are aiming at similar cooperation.
In Michigan three or four religious de-
nominations are centering their educa-
tional interests at the State University,
and similar attempts are being made in
at least seven other states. This plan of
cooperation implies no expense to the
university and no organic relationship
with the associated interests. The de-
nominations, upon their own ground i'll
the vicinity of the university, may main
tain dormitories, halls, professorships or
theological schools. Thus, while using
the regular courses of the university,
each denomination, according to its own
view, supplements the work provided by
the state and secures for its people at
minimum expense all that could be gained
by maintaining separate college. This
is to be done without giving any citizen
occasion to make charge of interference
or unwelcome influence.

SMALL ILLS.
The Power to Endure Them May BE
Cultivated.

Cultivated.
1t is often easier to bear great sor-
now than to endure small ills and re-
main of even, sweet disposition. The
old smile that drops of water wear into
the solid rock is certainly an apt one.
1t is easy to steel ones nerves and fight
fravely fortune that is adverse if there
is a chance OF an honorable victory. The
bravest knight, however. may be over
come by gnats.
1t is the misfortune of women to be
more delicate in their nervous structure
than men. and to be more often the VIC
tins of petty annoyances such as rasp
the nerves and temper. 1t is peculiarly
woman S duty to attend to minutiae
Housekeeping demands strict attention
to small things. If the housekeeper has
trouble in her work it is petty matter
to talk Of. 1t comes from the petulance
of servants, the failure of the yeast
perhaps to rise, or the stupidity of some
one who has left the oven door open and
upset all her plans for dinner. Some
one, perhaps, has carelessly stopped the
plumbing, and a large bill is incurred
from this source, which makes it i'm
possible for her to buy much-needed
winter bonnet for herself, or new coats
for the children. The matters essential
to health come first, and at any cost the
water pipes must be repaired.
1t is just such petty things as we have
named which wear woman's patience
out and sometimes make the middle
aged woman hopeless scold or a nerv-
Gus invalid, when she should be placid,
even-tempered, happy woman. The
power to endure small ills, however,
can be cultivated. 1t is an easy matter
at the beginning of life to look upon
things philosophically and check the
frown or hasty word which rises to the
lips. If mother would only remember
that her whole future happiness de-
ponds upon the restraint she exercises
on such occasions it would save her.
More than her own happiness, the hap
piness Of her own children and that of
all who love her depend upon it. 1t is
an effort that she must make at what
ever cost. The habit of self-restraint
and self-repression grows upon one who
practices it. Finally it become second
nature to speak gentle word instead of
a fretful one when an annoying blum
der occurs. A word fifty spoken with
out temper will do more to prevent an
other blunder than all the sharp ut
terances of anger.
Unhappy fretfulness also grows with
the indulgence in the habit until
the person becomes an unbearable com
panion and sometimes drives all her
friends from her. This vice is by no
means limited to women. We have
known men who were chronic scolds
and who renderedth their homes and offices
abodes of misery by fretting over small
matters, though this is not often mas
culine fault.--N. Y. Tribune.
