Westward Ho;

To- we gather not the meaning of this journeying
so fast
AS we push into the future with our eyes upon
the past.
Reckoning our speed by ruins on the way we
have progressed
Hurried onward, willy-niy, by the magic OF the
west
Strineing down the westward countries from the
land of Weissnichtwo,
Came the Saxon to the ocean many centuries ago,
And he stayed not for the waters which against
his going spread
But he gathered to, the islands and the west lay
still ahead.
Like girdle being knitted grew the race in
ample length
And again was stretched toward sunset by guild
ing hand of strength.
How if this had been prevented by the perils of
the way
Or the thought of prior claimants holding de-
sultory sway?
10 what purpose may we question If this man
producing earth
Seems to want Saxon girdle round about its
swelling girth?
We are but the yarn. remember. that may twist
an idle knot
And the belt still lengthens westward toward the
mystic meeting spot.

The President Is a Methodist.

To the Editor of the indianapolis journal;
In a. recent issue of the Journal, among
the answers to correspondents, was the
statement that Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley were
members of the Presbyterian Church. 1t
surprised me that the Journal could be so
mistaken, for during the campaign preceding
Mr. McKinley's election it was often stated
that he was a member of the Methodist
Church. As q matter of fact he is a MEM
Der and a regular attendant of the Metro
politan Methodist Church. of which Rev.
f. M. Bristol is pastor. Every Sunday
morning a crowd can be seen standing near
the C-street entrance to the church waiting
to see the President as he enters the build
ing. AS he steps from his carriage he lifts
his hat to the people, walks quickly into
the church and takes his accustomed pew,
joining in the singing and other portions
of the service. During the hurried prepare
tions for the war with Spain he was absent
from church a very few times. but he is
very regular in his attendance upon the
church services. thus setting a good exam
pie to men in humber walks of life. Owing

Never put off until tomorrow what you

Never trouble another for what you can
do yourself.
Never spend your money before you have
earned it.
Never buy what you don't want because
it is cheap.
Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and
cold
I'VE seldom repent of having eaten too
Nothing is troublesome that we do will

"How much pain the evils have costs us
that have never happened.
Take things always by the smooth
handle.

"PoLERsy EARN No FAME.
Leaders i'm Sports Now Get All the
Attention ut Colleges.
W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.

w. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record
During a recent visit to a college town
was much impressed with the respect and
attention that is paid to sports in preference
TO scholarship. In wandering over the campus
and about the streets the popular heroes
were pointed out one after another-the full
the pitcher of the baseball nine. the man
who could throw the hammer farther than
any one else in college, the champion runner
and q youth who could vault eleven feet
with the aid of q pole. But when l asked
for the vaedctorian of the senior class my
guide did not know him. and 1t was with diff
lcuIty that we even learned his name. They
called him a greasy poer. and said that he
was scarcely ever out among the boys. He
spent his time in his room, and seemed to
have no instincts of fellowship. But it was
equally difficult to find the men who had
taken prizes in scholarship ard oratory. The
best debater in college had comparatively
little rank when compared with the baseball
pitcher or the captain of the football team,
and the man who had won the highest prize
for literary composition was practically I'M
known to the great mass of the students.
The scholars of college noWadays seem
to live in a world of their own, While those
who do not go in for standing, but are
seeking an ordinary education that will fit
them for an everyday professional or bust
ness career, have very little sympathy with
Occasionally there is connecting link be-
tween the two communications man of re-
markable intellectual abilities with athletic
inclination-but that kind is scarce. 1t is
difficult for a man who devotes the necessary
time to training for athletic sports to keep
up in class standing with those VINO spend
eighteen hours a day over their books.
To a certain degree the sympathy OF the
faculty in many of the colleges is on the
athletic side. but it is usually matter of
taste and personal experience or association.
The general judgment, however, seems to be
that a man who can train both his body and
his mind impartially makes the best citizen
and brings the highest degree of honor to his
college.
At Princeton there is a rule which will
have a wholesome effect upon college ath-
letics and will undoubtedly be Initiated II 1t

buttons. It prohibits a student from taking
part in athletic games or other college sports
and entertainments who does not MAINTAIN
a certain rank in his studies. NO man VINO
failed in his examinations at the close or the
college year last summer can play with tne
football team or the baseball nine or the
banjo clubs or enter any of the athletic con-
tests until his conditions are wiped out

What country has the larger average
sized men. Great Britain or the United
States?-No Name.
During the civil war the provost marshal
generals Office examined $4,000 men, and
kept their records carefully. OF these the
American Indians who volunteered were
found to be the taIlest-67.93 inches in height
on the average. The white Americans came
next, averaging e7.67 inches tall. The Scots
came in the fourth place, with an average
height of 67.06 inches; the Irish were seventh
in the list, with an average of 66.4 inches,
the English eleventh, with 66.57 inches. and
the Welsh last of the British, with an av-
erage of e6H inches. So it may be said that
the Americans average taller than the Eng
fish.
Was General Breckenridge Vice President

General Bates the senator from Tennessee,
and was he confederate general?-C. w. B.
General Breckenridge was never Vice
President; his frsts cousin was, in 1S57-Cl;
he never was in the confederate army, but
entered the United States army in 1861 and
has been there ever since. 2 No. There
are two General Bates; one is Lieutenant
Colonel Alfred z. Bates, of the pay depart
ment, whom the President promoted to
brigadier general of volunteers; the other is
Colonel John c. Bates, of the Second In

the President. The latter has been in the
army since May H. 1861; the former gradu-
ated from West Point in June, 1866 and has

What are ten of the greatest events in
church and state history of this year 1882
J. r. B.
There have been no important events in
church history this year; the church in the
various countries has gone on in the even
tenor of it's way, sometimes having I'M
usual ceremony (such as the convention in
the Episcopal Church in this country, but
undergoing no especial strain or stress from
any unusual circumstance In state history,
theses events are notable: The revival of
the Dreyfus agitation in France, which may
yet end in the overthrow of the present re
public" the great Italian bread riots in
April and May, during which more persons
were killed than were killed in our war; our
war with SPAIN with details of the defeat
of the Spaniards at Manila the annexation
of Hawaii and the defeat of Spain at San
tiago; the Canadian conference at Quebec,
just renewed at Washington; the British re-
conquest of the Sudan; the murder of the
Empress of Austria; the Cars peace proc
lamation and the visit of the Emperor of
Germany to the East. We have laughed at
the theatrical surroundings of this visit, but
it has been of great Importance to Ger
many and will be of Importance to the
world.

Signature in Newspapers.
Lippincott's Magazine.


There were some reporters of marked
ability when the war-cloud burst in 1861
Sent TO the front as war correspondents
they turned out work neither better nor
worse than that of many others, and what
they wrote disappeared in the smother of
the daily press. Then came Secretary Stan
toms order that correspondents should sign
their articles. and these men wrote their
names. Thereupon they became personal to
their readers, and gradually there grew up
in those readers minds the idea of entities,
of individuals who were telling them day
ny day what they saw and heard. The cor
respondence became much more interesting,
not only because personality enabled the
men to tell their stories with more direct
ness, but because their readers soon felt an
interest in the adventures of men whom
they knew by name -Four years of this
caused the public TO want more from these
men, and the men themselves had a value
TO newspapers depending on their personal
ity They went high in the newspaper
world for each had genuine ability of his
own: but It was the signature that furnished
the ladder OF personality on which they
climbed.

But measuredly, and gathering force,
1t follows steadily it's course.
And if tweTe mine to WELD control
OF Time within my heart an. soGi,
Saving from ruin and decay
What I hold dearest. I should pray
That may never cease to be
Wooed daily by Expectancy:
That evening shadows in mine eyes
Dim not the light of new surprise:
That 1 may feel till life be spent.
Each day the sweet bewilderment
OF fresh delight in simple things,
In snowy winters, golden springs,
And quicker heart-beats at the thought
OF all the good that man has wrought.
Bet may 1 never face a dawn
With all the awe and wonder gone,
Or in late twilight fail TO
Charm in the stars Old sorcery.
