ROOSEVELT in OTHER DAYS.

gold-rimmed glasses the speaker scored
him as a man unworthy and unfit for
his Office. 1t is n thing to deliver a
fiery accusation Of general or personal
charges at a crowded meeting OF law
abiding people. It is another to stand
coolly before a silent handful OF from
tiersmen and. openly accuse one OF dis
honesty. Death stares closely in the
face Of the man who dares attempt it,
for these men, bred in isolation. are
sensitive to the quick on their personal
honor, and an accusation that would be
laughed at in New York would eat out
a mans heart there. With downcast
head the sheriff said never a word, but
his prestige was gone forever and there
was another sheriff soon. Out on the
northwestern frontier of North Dakota,
600 miles from St. Paul, in the heart
Of the Bad Lands, is the queer little
town Of Medora. Mighty buttes of
scorched clay and gumbo surround 1t.
Eight miles away up the river is
Chimney Butte" the home ranch of
Roosevelt. Here the valley widens;
the giant buttes have receded, leaving
a wide stretch of bottom lands. A
fringe of cottonwoods marks the course
of the river, while clumps of ash and
alder are mingled with the inevitable
s%agebrush. A half mile to the south
west stands enc of those singular
formations so common to the Bad
Lands, a long, slender pyramid capped
with a large fiat rock. This gives to
the ranch it's local name, although it is
generally called the Maltese Gross"
ranch, from the cowboy custom of call
ing ranches after the brand.

Is A JOLLY TRIP
Everybody Enjoyed the
Hoyt Farce Comedy.
MR. Conor and Associates Become
favorites at Once-PIay and
People Liked.

All, but "a Trip 10 Chinatown" was
a bonnie voyage The crew was COM
posed OF real comedians. the cargo was
pure fun, SO per cent superfine Every
passenger had a combination smile
and laugh coupon ticket. The maiden
run Of the merry ship OF Hoyt mirth
was in pillows of parlor hilarity
1t was treat TO see the people in
the audience enjoy themselves. 1t
was privilege to attend the perform
ance OF such a troupe as has been
brought here by Manager Cooke
There is no dead timber" Every
member of the company has a chance
at the center of the stage, and meets
fully the requirements of the oppor-
tunity. OF course, the finished Mr..
Conor, second to no comedian of the
day, carries off the honors But praise
cannot be withheld from his associates
in the work of amusing ALL Each per-
son in the cast has talent, is we'll train
| ed, and has achieved success in the
| farce-cOmedy. Mr.. Ward made the
very most of the difficult part of Ben
Gay. Mr.. Dunbar and Mr.. Pacie, the
| chums, were a happy pair all the time.
Mr.. Marion and Mr.. Cushman are clev-
er specially people and at home in
their lines. There is an attractive CO.
Iterie of ladies. Miss Crater (the
| Widow heads the list, with Emma
Siege (the Maid) a close second. Miss
| Lack was dainty and interesting as
Willie Grow. Misses Gillette and Ad-
ans contributed fully to the evenly
balanced product of the company.
The play was a rush of fun from be-
ginning to end. All of the people sing
and dance and are artists at their
callings. The company has along es-
pecially for this tour the famous Nc
Coy sisters, dancers known all over the
world
Mr. ConOr has often been urged to
star on his own account and has been
advised to leave farce comedy. He
prefers his present contract and his
present line. He has the satisfaction
of knowing that he pleases. 1t may be
said OF him that he is one OF the very
few men remaining in farce-comedy
year after year with the same con-
nection and same pieces and gaining
in popular favor right along. Mr.. Con-
or is the sort of actor that is taken
to the bosom of an audience as a par
ticular friend. In face, by-play, voice
and genuine creation of comedy he has
several fortunes.
Nearly every seat in the house was
taken for the first appearance of the
Hoyt-McKee company and the tickets
are pretty well sold for the remainder

INDIANS AND FILIPINOS.

In making a comparison between the
Indians and FiIipinos' warlike quail
ties, Maj. Gen. T. NJ. Anderson, L. S.
Vols, now on his way home from Ma
Mia, in a recent interview said that the
Filipino as a soldier or fighter resemb-
led very much the American Indian,
though he thought the Indian the bra
yer of the two races. The native
Fflipinos are persistent. They are not
easily discouraged, and when cornered
they will fight TO the death of the
last man before they will surrender.
The General added, by way Of expla-
nation: This was shown on the 9Th
of February, when my division made
its advance to its present position. In
one place I remember after a charge
of our men a whole company of Filipi-
nos suffered death fighting TO the last
in their trenches rather than be cap
tured. But as a rule they will offer
fight only from under cover. much like
Indian fighting"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

Love, like ice. is awfully slippery,
and 1t soon thaws.
Beauty is like a cooking stove-no
good when the fuel gives out.
Leading a woman to the altar Is usu-
ally mans last act Of leadership.
A womans idea OF hopeless fool Is
a man who praises some other woman.
Some men are SO dignified that they
never unbend until they are dead
broke.
No one has ever been able to ex-
plain why bald-headed men have their
hair cut oftener than other men.
With the exception Of some Of the
gold mines offered for sale by pro-
moters there isn't much left on earth
to discover.
During courtship lovers overlook
each others faults, but after marriage
they spend most Of their time In look
ing for them.
A wife certainly has no cause for
complaint il her husband doesn't love
her any incorporating he doesn't
love her any less.

FIRST WOMAN GRADUATE
Miss c. Il. Brewer, of Macon, Ga, Now
Mrs. Benson, Enjoys That Distinction.

Miss G. E, Brewer, of Macon, Ga, Now
Mrs. Benson, Enjoys That Distinction.
The first woman In this country to
receive college diploma was Miss
g. Il. Brewer, of Macon, Ca, now Mrs.
Benson. The diploma was conferred
by the Georgia Female College, the
first female educational institution In
the United States to glory In the name
of college. 1t was chartered by the
Georgia Legislature in 1886, and in
1874 changed its name to the Wesleyan
Female College, under which title it
has fourished ever since. Year after
year it has sent out its Bachelors Of
Art, coming up to fifty-eight In one
year, and with no break, even during
the Civil War, while 1t has bestowed
Its advantages on hundreds of women
who could not complete Its full course.
perusal of Its catalogue Is q COM
plete refutation of the bug-bear that
college education prevents marriage,
for 1t requires close scrutiny to find
name that has not been changed
When the college opened six young
women entered half advanced" and
completed their course, and were duly
graduated July IL, 1910. The alpha
betical list of the graduates began with
Miss G. Il. Brewer, and into her hand
was put the first diploma for college
work ever given to woman in this or
any other country. 1t stated that the
recipient "had completed the regular
courses of study of the college, embrac-
Ing all the sciences usually taught in
the colleges of the United States, with
such us especially belong to female ed
ucation in Its most ample ranges" The
studies of the Senior class were Latin,
French or Greek, astronomy, physical
geography, geology, physiology, mental
philosophy, moral philosophy, analysis
of English classics and composition
and evidences of Christianity. Mrs.
Benson is still living, and when the
college celebrated its semi-centennial
she gave her diploma back to her alma
mater, and it now hangs framed on its
walls. These facts are condensed from
an article in "Harper's Bazaar"

There has just been opened at Wor-
cester, Mass, school of household
economics and cooking, where women
can learn practical housekeeping under
competent teachers just as their chill
dren learn the three Rs in the public
schools. There Is a short course In
marketing and lectures on the chemis-
try of food, history of foods, supplies
and care Of the same. Special classes
at moderate prices are also held for
clubs, teachers and housewives, twelve
lectures once q week and also for
housekeepers. The pupils are not only
taught to cook on proper lines, but also
to serve the viands so that they will
please the eye as well as the palate.
At present fifty pupils can be accom-
modated as boarders within the walls,
in addition to those living outside
Each has room to herself, furnished
neatly with a white enameled folding
bed, the rest of the furniture being
oak, very coZy and home like.
Any woman over Is years of age
with satisfactory references and in
good health will be admitted to any Of
the special classes, but for regular
course work there will also be required

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-09-18


Why was l given child's wild heart?
am tired Of acting woman's part
And the world seems sordid and dull
and coarse.
1t was different in the days of play,
When the soul was brave and the heart
was gay,
And one rode away to fairyland on a
painted rocking horse.
My friend, you will never understand
How | dream of those rides to fairy
land!
OF those long, sweet rides in the firelit
room
When one started off with leap and
bound
On ones steed SO quantity caparisoned
To the silvery sound of little bells that
twinkled in the gloom.
My friend, you are fair and strong and
true,
With your sun-gold hair and your eyes
so blue;
But why have you stolen my heart to-
day?
For it is such a strange and wayward
thing
(And birds that are Gagged will not al
ways sing.
And a child's heart, what should it
know of lovef-it only cares for
play.
