MIR. DALY's EXPANDED BIBLE.

derful work IL really is The account which
is here given is furnished by Henry Black
well. who mounted all the pages, arranged
the plates and bound the volumes.
Mr.. DAILY spent many years in collecting
the plates which were TO accompany, or,
rather. were chiefly to make up ne ne WORK Work;
to be arranged and bound. III was ire

all to pieces and boiled the pages, just as a
washerwoman would boil clothes. Then he
hung them on the clothesline in the back

sELF-SUPPORTING STUDENTS.
More Men Working Their Way
Through College than Ever.

j. L. Williams, in Ladies' Home Journal
Most people picture the young man who
earns Ills own expenses while at college as a
long-faced prig who rooms in a garnet, where
he breaks the ice in his pitcher for water to
wash with in winter and tells himself how
noble he is TO persevere in spite Of the sneers
and snubs Of his more fortunate classmates.
II that type OF coIlegian ever really ex-
supporting student is not snubbed nor
sneered at by anybody, and he smiles oc-
casionally. This is because there are more
college men earning their living to-day than
ever before, and because they earn a better
living. One-quarter of the entire three hun
dred and one members of the last class grad
wholly; probably all of them ate three meals
a day, and many of them were quite in the
thick of college life besides. This point Is
emphasized, because know that every year
then give 1T up, largely-though they may
not confess it-because they hate to think
of being queer and ''out of things" This
is natural feeling. but ii is unnecessary.
1 recall no football team at my college
(Princeton) in the last ten years that did
not have at least one man working his way
through, and invariably some of the most
popular and influential men in every class
are self-supporting.
l have yet TO learn of anybody's coming
unhandicapped by disease or great debt, and
then going away because he could not earn
living at college. And have yet to hear any
one of them say the game was not well
worth the candle. 1t is hard work, of course
but college man, like every one else, is
happier with his time well filled. In fact,
most of the men / know who worked their
way through college enjoyed their four years
quite as much as their more fortunate fell
lows; indeed, / am not sure the latter class
is always more fortunate, for. in addition TO
getting as much, If not more, out of his
books the man who earns his own way is
acquiring practical experience and a conf
dence in himself with which to pitch into
the big world later in life.

GERS of the penitentiary think that there is
no truth in the letter written by one James
Lee in which he asserts that he knew Gill
bert Gates in Arizona in 1894. In CONVEX
sation with him to-day in the presence of
Capt. Jesse Tolin he said that Gates did not
want to let his people know where he was
because he liked the wild life of miner.
He asserts also that Gates went under the
name of George Dorsey. but for what rea-
son he does not know. While, he says,
Gates told him his life, he made no men
ton about what became of his property
while travelling in Missouri and where he
was supposed to have been killed. Captain
Tolin listened to the story and then said:
"You know nothing about this matter ex-
cept what you saw in the newspapers; you
want notoriety."
1T know only what wrote" he said. IF
they write to Monahan and Murphy they
will know Mr.. Dorsey
How do they know Dorsey was Gates?"
To this he replied: 81 don't know
