Beaumont. Texas, April 30-An incidon,
that was both beautiful and patriotic took
place at the Auditorium last night in the

people. Children of the several Beaumont
schools, public and private, gave a concert
at the Auditorium TO raise money with
which to pay for an elegant silk flag, which

ones and a stirring speech by the Hon w.

Three cheers for the beaumont Light

When the little lady concluded there was
an outburst OF patriotic enthusiasm that
fairly ratified the shingles on the roof of
the Auditorium. Hats, fans and hsndker-
chiefs were thrown into the air, and cool
wishes aud blessings were shouted to the
soldier boys from every direction
The demonstration touched Captain Smith
so deeply that in accepting the flag he could

Foremost as a woman Psychologist
Is Mrs. Marie n. Buckman of Boston.
an unassuming little New England
woman who was led into her investi-
cations while teaching a Sunday school
class. The story of how she began her
studies is interesting. m Sunday the
subject of the Egyptian influence up
on the Israelite was taken up. A.
once she felt an awakened interes: I'm
he lesson that seemed strange to her.
She grew enthusiastic at the thought
of the rich life of the people who lived
along the banks of the Nile ages e
and left UGH enduring witnesses of
their skill and art for the instruction
and enjoyment of the nations that We're
yet to be born. The grandeur of their
civilization and the sublimity OF their
history touched her as nothing ever had
before. h announced to her class that
they would take up the subject FOR
further study the coming Sunday, and
during the week she read everything
she could concerning the Egyptians,
! feeling all the time that il was strange
ly familiar to her. although she new
that she was reading il for the first
time. Sunday after Sunday. what

She o relinquished all pursuits

and researches in Egyp,ology. She
economical in everything else that she
might have money to buy books on this
subject. and every book dealer In Bos-
ton soon knew her taste. and notified
her when he ran across anything bear
ing upon the history of Egypt. The
Egyptian department of the Boston Art
museum became her favorite resort.
She obtained special privileges for car
rying on her studies from the museum
authorities. and gradually established
a semi-ofiicia connection with the de-
partment. From desultory talks about
the relics I'M specimens. she began TO
give the more formal and technical
lectures. which are now a feature of
her work al the museum. Last year
the course attracted much attention.
and the fees received from il were con-
tributed TO a fund raised by Americans
for the preservation of the mural
enc and texts in the temple of Hats
tepse tthe Queen Elizabeth OF Egypt
at Deir-el-Bahari
In an almost incredibly short time ar
ter Mrs. Buckman had first followed
the children Of Israel into Egypt she
was ready to measure swords with the
most erudite Egyptian scholars OF the

cations brought her i'm contact with

PROFANITY CONFRONTED HIM.
An Exile Who Died Happy Hearing
Oaths.

From the Chicago Record.
For myself 1 know the case OF a
young Javanese who came to Chicago
shortly after the fair and who was
stranded there. There was nothing
wrong with him. He could not get any
kind of an understanding of the Ian
guage. The Javanese colony being
limited to one person, and that person
himself, he naturally got homesick and
pinned. They took him to a hospital
and he grew worse. Nothing I'm par
ticular the matter with him-just lone
scmeness. He would look up with wide,
searching eyes at all who came to call
in his ward, and he listened apparently
for some familiar word, but nobody
could talk Javanese. so he had no
means of communication with the
world. Perhaps you cannot appreciate
his poor fellows position. Just i'm
agine yourself in Fee or Madagascar,
homesick and dying for the sound of
one English word. and never hearing
anything but a ubdue jabber in an
utterly unknown tongue. 1t was the
way with this Javanese.
One day "a nan who had driven a
canal boat in the East n after that
had piloted a delivery team in Chicago,
and in some other and tributary ways
had laid the foundation for a thorough
grasp upon the language of violence,
was D1Oubn NJ INTO tHe ospltd SuiltIluS
from a broken leg. The injured leg was
getting along first rate until one of the
internes i'm passing the cot in some I'M
accountable way slipped, and, to catch
his footing. reached toward h bed
and seized the mans foot. which was
trussed toward the ceiling with ropes.
The contact n the wrench must nave
hurt the patient. Anyway, he said so.
He said so with great force and volume.
He painted the hospital green, purple,
yellow and vermilion! His remarks
were copious and forid. And through
all that Vesuvian eruption that young
Javanese listened with the light of a
great joy in his face. His weary eyes
flashed with pleasure and his cheeks
took on a temporary color. He followed
every evolution of the eX-canal boat
mans speech. And when the injured
person had quite finished the youth
dropped back upon the pillow and
closed his eyes. They came to give
him his medicine afterward and found
that he had died. Peacefully, evident
ly. and with a joyous spirit. He had
gone out with the closing remark of
that man, who spoke at last in a AN
guage which the poor exile under
stood.
