The Founder Of Wellesley College.
1t Is doubtless a very fine thing, and
q thing to be proud Of and to be re-
membered, to belong to a college
which was founded by Cardinal VOL
sey, or Henry VI, or Queen Margaret,
or the Bishop Of Winchester, or some
other exalted parsonage, and which
has wonderful quadrangle. or a IA
nous gateway, or chapel with a
splendid fan-vaulted roof. But the
students of Wellesley College have a
still finer thing to be proud of and to
remember. They belong to a college
founded by an American gentleman,
who, crushed by the loss Of his only
and dearly loved son, turned from the
most brilliant legal and social career,
to give Ibis home, his fortune, and ten
years of his life" to raising a monu-
ment to the God who had so heavily
afflicted him.
The story Of Henry Fowle Durafit
and the founding of wellesley College
is so well known tlsstt it hardly seems
A~SSSHs lOuCA Oll ~ ACACS 0ho %
4 Is story that bears infinite repeti-
ton, and certainly once q year-the
anniversary Of his death, the third OF
October-is not too often to impress
upon those who are profiting by his
loss the story Of his life and death
and work. And surely one Sunday In
every year-the first Sunday Of the fall
semester, known Us Slower Sunday"
lis not too many to set apart for SER
vice from his favorite text, "God Is
love-" And when. in the Inevitable
course Of time, there shall be no rea-
son why we cannot openly honor the
woman who IS still with us and who
helped him to be what he was, and
who gives Us generously as he did,
Wellesley will couple her name with

children,. Cute sayings.


'Do you Like candy, mammaT asked
4-year-old Bessie. mo, DEAR" was the
reply, sit always makes me sick" I'm
awful glad Of It," said the little miss;
you're just the woman / want to hold
my candy while / dress dollie."
"WhY, Freddie" exclaimed the moth
er of a precocioas 5-year-old, "aren't
you ashamed to call auntie stupid? Go
to her at once and tell her you are very
sorry" "Auntie," said the little fellow
a few moments later, I'm awful sorry
you are 50 stupid"
1t was one of the first warm days,
and little Mabel. aged 4, who had been
playing with some neighboring chill
dren, rushed into the house and throw
ing herself across her mothers lap, ex-
claimed: ooh, mamma; take on some
Of my clothesl I'm a whole petticoat
too hot!"
"Now, children" said the Sunday
school teacher of the juvenile class,
'.our lesson to-day tells us Of the pow
ers possessed by kings and queens.
Can any of you name a still greater
powerY "Yes'm; can," replied one
little fellow. "What, Willie7' asked
the teacher. "Aces," was the unexpect-
ed answer.
Jennie, aged A, had been poking at
the crate fire and burned hole in her
dress. "You must not do that, Jennie"
said her mother, ''or you'll catch fire
and burn up, and there will be nothing
left Of you but little pile OF ashes.
Then what would mamma do" 'Oh,"
replied Jennie, II suppose you would
call Bridget and tell her to sweep up
the ashes"
Little Harry was in the habit OF end
Ing his prayers every night with a re-
quest for a baby brother to play with,
but at last he gave up in despair. A
few weeks later hts mother called him
and showed him twin babies. He looked
at them in wonder for moment and
exclaimed: "Weli, It's mighty lucky
thing 1 stopped praying, or We might
have got three"

The naval batfle Oh Santiago. in which
Admiral ervera' = fleet was annihilated,
has placed in the keeping Of the Gov
ernment about fifteen hundred pris-
oners. Those sailors, who left their
native shores for the purpose of do
ing damage to American coasts and to
capture or sink our ships, are living
contentedly at Camp Long, Seavey's
Island, Portsmouth, N. A., which was
prepared expressly for them.
These sailors are study, and for
many reasons. They represent the
national type; they show the quality
of men who form the Spanish army
and navy; they are unmistakabie EVIL
dences why the Spanish Government
was able to plunge the people into a
war which threatens the reigning
dynasty with greater dangers than
those of peace.
The captured sailors are made. upSof
men and boys. In their ranks can be
seen the gray haired veteran, who has
spent his life in the Spanish navy,
down to the smooth and innocent faced
boy, who, were he an American, would
yet be at school, enjoying his youth.
The suffering the prisoners endured
while they were in Santiago Harbor,
and the effects of the naval battle,
made many of them look extremely
wretched. When they landed at Camp
Long they had hollow cheeks, sunken
eyes and sallow compilations. Many
Of them were barely able to move and
bandages covered their wounds.
1t is q surprising fact that the
greater number of the prisoners are
boys, and yet this illustrates much
better than anything else the despera-
ton of the Spanish Government.

Mr.. Sala charged Macready with hav-
ing habitually used foul and blasphem-
Gus language behind the scenes. An
apologist hints that Mr.. Sala may have
been led astray by the fact that In the
last act of Macbeth" Macready inya-
riably dashed himself into a sort of
fever, which he aggravated by using all
sorts of expressions. When Mr.. Phelps
played Macduff to him for the first
time, he was not little amazed during
the fight at the close Of the last act to
hear Macready call him a beast, a
scoundrel, q hell-born villain, base
born cur and devil. Full OF resent
ment, Phelps hurled back the epithets
with energy, and heaped foul names
upon Macready. At the close Macrea-
dy said:
THANK yen. Mr.. Phelps, thank you;
I've never been SO well supported"
In another play. where 1t was neces-
sary to enter In painting fury, full OF
rage, exhibiting the gasplng exhaustion
of mad passion, Macready used to have
q hired 'super" whom he would Crap
pie and shake and curse at, off the
stage, SO that he could enter naturally.
One night the regular super" sent a
substitute who did not quite understand
the business. He resented Macready's
rough treatment, which delighted the
comedian, who went at his man with
increased vigor. The substitute pres
emily "let him have It," and the pair
fought savagely n good round. Ma
cready that night burst upon his audi
ence in splendid rage, out Macready-
ing Macready. When the substitute
learned the true state Of affairs. how
ever, he bolted; but he was unearthed,
for Macready came OF after the first
scene, gasping:
"Hum, ha! Where is he? Hum, ha,
bless mel A splendid fellow! Pay him
double and let me have him every
night"

Taken from their homes and impressed
into the service where their heart is
not, it is hardly surprising that the
Spanish navy was so easily defeated
at Manila and Santiago. The
type of the Spanish sailor between
the veteran and the boy is q
fair specimen of the peasantry class.
Under normal conditions he is a
strong, able-bodied fellow, willing to
work when commanded, unlettered
and superstitious. There is no doubt
that these sailors have deal of faith
in their officers, as the scenes of their
parting testify, and the sailors would
be willing to follow their officers
wherever they were led.
Now that they are prisoners on
American soil, they are receiving the
treatment which, it can be safely said,
has rarely been given to captured foe
in time of war; They are RECEIVING
every consideration Comfortable
! quarters have been provided, good
food and decent clothes have fallen to
their lot. They are made to feel as
Admiral Cervera so prettily said, that
these prisoners ''are the wards of the
American people," That expresses it.
We are civilized, and treat our unfor-
tunate enemies in civilized way.
These sailors are beginning TO APP
preciate their treatment. Their
minds have been disabused of the
falsehoods they were told by their
officers. The prisoners were told we
would kill them if they fell into our
hands. Allowing for the misfortunes
they have suffered, they are happy in
their imprisonment, and their natures
are softened by such kind treatment.
AS they are naturally dull, they do
not indulge in much amusement in
their confinement. They associate in
groups and spend most of the time
talking, probsbly about their folks at
home, their mothers, wives and chill
dren, as the case may be. Some of
them play cards, and pass the hours
that way. Some walk around for ex-
ercise, but as q whole the sailors do
not seem to be very fond lit. They
like to lay around and take life easy,
and thankful for whatever comes their
way.
There is one sport, however, in
which the men indulge. They have
imitation bull fights. One fellow,
big, hardy sailor, who can stand plen-
ty of rough and tumble play, is the
bull, and several others perform the
part of the bull-fghters. A large ring
is formed and the fun commences.
Meanwhile the onlookers are roaring
over the antics of their comrades, and
when any exceptional good play oc-
ours, they break into cheers as though
they were on their native soil, witness
ing q real bull fight. When the
players are tired, the fight ceases, and
the prisoners, laughing and joking, re-
sumo their places in groups.
Seavey's Island is well guarded, SO
that if any attempt to escape is made
! it will be frustrated. Marines patrol
the grounds around, and machine guns
face the big yard in which the
prisoners take their exercises.
At mess the prisoners are served
with meat, vegetables, canned goods,
rice, bacon and bread. A royal feast,
indeed, for the conquered Dons.
