"Why Did You Call a1e Back"

A Santa Monica (Cal) correspondent
writes to the Chicago Inter-Ocean;
Perhaps the Inter-Ocean would be inter-
ested in a short report in regard to the
young man, William Graham, of this town,
whom your correspondent al Los Angeles
reported as having died the 18th of Sep
TENDER, but his wife having fallen on him
and called so piteously for him 10 come
back TO her, and having chafed his face
and limbs, he did regain consciousness and
spoke 70 her and said: why did you call
me back?'
I find on investigation that his father
and other respectable persons who were
present at the time did think him dead,
and had 1t not been for his loving wife
calling him TO return 10 her. and she being
so persistent in her efforts. he never would
have regained consciousness. AS it was,
he recovered and was moved TO the nos
pital in Los Angeles, and lived for three
weeks Suffering greatly. and today he
was brought here and buried. The neigh
bors can only seem TO see one circumstance
to justify his return from his first death,
and that was his wife giving birth to a
child In the meantime; that by his added
life he was permitted TO see, and, at least
to some extent, enjoy that pleasure. His
disease was consumption, as reported at
the time. Some of the townspeople who
were familiar with the circumstances at
the time think his spirit had gone from
this earthly body to its astral body, and
OF course others believe he was not dead,
but it was case of suspended animation.
or he was in a trance. He reported visit
ing heavenly land where the scenery was
most beautiful and the birds were all
dressed in magnificent plumage, such as
earth does not afford.
Be that as it may, it certainly is one OF
the strangest cases ever reported in Cali
fornia, or, probably, for that matter, In
any other land

FOOT BALL as AN ANrIDoTE

Eminent educators have pointed to
the possible weakening OF energy and
decision by the cultivation Of reason
and the love of truth and exact knowl-
edge as one of the unfavorab bic phases
of the higher intellectual training of
young men. They have suggested that
perhaps the habit of investigating and
weighing all sides of any subject stud
led or taken notice of seriously which
is taught by precept and example IN
college may sometimes lead to the de-
feat Of college-bred men in the swift
and eager struggles Of business life.
There is danger, they admit that If a
man trained in the hard school of life
outside the universities, and another
carefully taught and made broad and
catholic in all his mental characteristics
and thorough in his investigations ar
rive together at the brink OF river. so
10 speak. which both desire to cross.
the college man may make patient tests
Of the current, the depth of water, the
probable discharge Of the stream and
all of its forces, while the more natural
man is simply plunging in and
swimming across TO the other bank.
where fortune serves one, but cannot
wait for the other 1t is unlikely that
the effects Of this phase Of college train
ing are very serious, and 1t Is quite GER
tain that they are far outweighed. at
the worst, by advantages which cannot
be gainsaid. But the danger is real
enough, in some cases. Energy and
decision are two of the most useful
forces in human life, and the man who
has them in large measure is very for
tunate. In so far as university train
ing may tend to weaken either by the
development of antagoniStic traits there
Is need of an antidote. Perhaps that
is why foot ball has gained such i'm
mense vogue in the higher institutions
of learning in the United States. Pos
sibly the students uncOnSciously realize
their need Of form Of training which
means, dash, daring, instant choice OF
methods, and absolutely unchecked
energy in executing all plans adopted.
If the game is not calculated TO save
those who play it from the over
development of caution and delibera-
ton. it would be interesting to know
what could do the work

Take Him.

THE first thing essential to a good
advertising medium" says the Forum,
is a large circulation"
If that statement and the Forum's
report to Hines d Son be equally true,
then all an advertiser has to do to OBJ
tain a larger circulation than the
Forum is to have printed and distributed
1,2Ol dodgers. Because no reading ac-
compartments are better than some.
To pooe its statement, however, it
quotes "a successful Frostburg bust
ness man" as saying:
| have made study of advertising and
know what am talking about
There are so many successful bus
mess men" around here that the JOUR
NAL cannot locate this genius. If he
is one OF several who have
tried the MINING JOURNAL for long time,
and, after giving it every chance, cannot say
/ derived any benefit
it is plain to be seen that his study
has been vain mis- knowledge fancy,
and that, after all, he did not know
what he was talking about" If he
had, he would have been able to say
whether he had derived any benefit
from his investment in the JOURNAL.
A man of that gumption, after not
only "study" but long experience,
wouldn't be able to tell whether 100
per cent. profit had yielded him any
benefit. His success would not be
due to his business sagacity but to his
environment, or to some other for
tultous and fortunate arrangement for
him. The man who knows all about
department of business and doesn't
know as to its results is Il scholar whose
favor the JOURNAL doesn't want. The
Forum is welcome to him, his praises
and his unearned money.

Case of "Pussecution."

1t has been retailed round about
Carlos, Consolidation No. =, Sand
Spring and Never Seen, to the detri-
ment Of the metropolis. that the editor
of the Forum, rs a resident of Frost
burg is make believe.
But this is not true In the soundest,
ablest and most conclusive editorial it
has ever printed it tells the slanderers
that they
forget that Frostburg is mountain
town; a healthful place to live in; that, ow-
ing to transportation facilities, one can reach
the cities of the East in very short time
In connection with the work of the Forum.
its editor has selected Frostburg for his lecture
headquarters.
The JOURNAL, too, is charged with
promoting intelligence that is so harm
full to the town--charged in a sentence
that makes the great paper doubt
whether, after all, it is desirable to
have lecturer of national repute hail
ing from Frostburg who writes sem
tence such as that which follows:
But its circulation is so limited that its eff
forts at gossip has not worried u.s.
A sentence like that arouses the fear
that the paper that constructs it is not
just the institution that should promise
to be permanent, or say that
Its enemies will not be able to do without it..
For if Its enemies want no better
grammatical work than that, they
should quit paying taxes for public
school purposes and turn the money
into subscriptions for the Forum and
tickets for sunset lectures
This is the only plan by which IL
Chinese wall can be built round the
Forums tripod and platform.
For there are some blessings we do
not wish to call national.

No ArniStice.

1t must be understood that the JOUR-
NAL, being right from BEGINNING to end.
cannot afford to permit "Fair Play
to retire with the notion that he is
''some punkins." The right is at
stake; the JOURNAL is on that side so
far it is the winner, in spite of the
masked battery and bushwhacking
tactics it has had to contend with, and
it must continue to be. Hence, this
war will go on until "Fair Play" ac-
knowledges surrender. This he can dc
as effectually by silence as by open
confession, though the latter, being
the honest method, is preferred.

The Lecture.

Col. H. W. J. Ham hardly reached
expectations Tuesday evening in his
lecture upon THE Snollygoster in
Politics." He is fluent, prolific of
gesture and endowed with modlcum
of mimic talent, but his "old ironside"
yelp, like Fair Plays emphasis of
inconsequential matters. was blemish
which frequently punctuated and
greatly marred the effort. Many
funny things were said and few
eloquent passages occurred, but, all
in all, the lecture did not reach the
plane to which the Frostburg intellect
has become accustomed

1t is proper to say in this connection

is in it.
