CompromisinS Endosgneofr.

Whatever ones position on the mer-
it's of the question, there is something
morally ~reassuring in the fact that
the acceptance of Mr.. Rockefeller's
$4,000 gift to Wellesley college, at
its recent commencement, was chal-
lenged by a portion of the faculty. Of
course, no such issue would be ex-
pected, for example, at Chicago uni
versity, since questions Of that sort
were settled in respect to that insti-
tuition at the start. Wellesley, how
ever, especially in view of it's pro-
nounced moral tone, is a college where
a question as to the origin of endow-
ments would seem quite natural, and
the fact that it was raised-though
apparently without hindering the final
acceptance Of the gifts a whole
some reminder that the relation be-
tween endowments on the one hand
and moral standards and intellectual
liberty on the other is by no means
ignored at that center.

didn't begin to talk of love, even in

woman who had made and broken two
engagements in that time led them in
this direction unconsciously.
Neither OF them were gossips, but
the thing seemed so incredible-to peo-

The predictions Of MIR. T. H. Storts,
of Van Buren,, Ind, have been fulfilled
to a remarkable degree SO far. In
the year Of 1894 he prophesied that the
United States troops would be called
into the field of battle in 1898, and
that our government would not cease
from war for sever years, and that in
the year 1900 WI would be embroiled
in a wal with all the leading nations
OF the earth. He also predicted that
when this war ended there would be
no more use for the sword and bayonet.

Bullion Carried.

ceeSfo1 Dy u stage Line to Protect tho
Bullion Carried.
Until very recent years." said a
man who used to live in the west, to
the New Orleans Times-D Democrat,
there has always been more or less
scandal connected with the star
routes of the postal service. Star
routes are those over which mail Is
carried by speoAl contract, and the ex-
pense of keeping up some of them has
certainly been monstrous. In other
cases, however, the price paid has been
ridiculously low. | remember one
route in Nevada where the service was
kept up over a distance of about eighty
miles for SIS a year, when the actual ex-
pense was SIS a trip. How that on
tract was really made profitable in
wolves a curious little story, which |
will tell without mentioning names,
a h parties interested still
nave business relations with the de-
partment. The stretch of road to which
l refer lay between two pretty lively
mining camps, and a stage line plying
over it did a very fair business. Among
other things it frequently carried bull
lion, and holdups were of no uncom-
mon occurrence. The rugged, lonely
character of the country was peculiarly
favorable to that kind of deviltry, and
the stage people were at their wits end
to NOW what to do to stop it. At last
they had a bright idea, and put in a
bid for carrying the mail, which had
been handled by a private contractor, q
cart and a mule. They made Their bid
80 so as to be certain of getting the
job, and then had a heavy, ~iron-bound
compartment constructed in the boot
CT each of the stages for carrying beth
the pouches and their regular express
matter. To break it open would have
taken at least ten or fifteen minutea,
and that meant delaying the mails.
The Western desperate has a holy hor-
ror of running foul of Uncle Sam, be-
cause he knows hat means relentless
hunting down, with all the OF
the government behind the pursuit,
and as soon as the stages became mail
carriers they ceased to be molested. So
the five-dollar contract was really a
good business proposition. After the
country became more settled it was
kept up merely as an advertisement. 1t
gave the line a certain air of stability,
like the words Government Depos-
tory on the window of a bank"

AGE OF
1t Is Also an Age OF Chatter, Says Lord


Lord Russell of Killowen says this
is an age of chatter and that no one
has time to think of anything serious
ly. Our young men talk of sport, our
girls read nothing deeper than illus
trated magazines; we speak in jerks;
the topics of the day are treated
homeopathically. Without doubt there
is much in what the lord chief justice
of England says, but what would he
have us do? This is part of our mod
ern system of life; AXE out one brick
and the entire structure would fall.
or course. it is regrettable in many
ways that we live in a mental as we'll
as a physical rush nowadays, but Lord
russell should realize that we cannot
be wise, grave, thoughtful and pro-
portionately slow in some things and
slappish, time-saving in others. The
pace is set for us. and we must needs
follow it. Something must suffer as
we rush along, and thus we become
feather-brained chatterboxes with in
different manner and a lamentable
lack of taste. Our only consolation
must be that matters will be worse in
a generation Dr. two, unless the wheel
comes full circle by that time. Apro-
pos of this modern haste which the
Tor chief justice deplores, the medical
and scientific world is seriously dis
cussing the chances of our descendants
retaining their sanity. Nervous dis
eases are markedly on the increase,
even the Eskimos, once wholly free
from the diseases and failings of civil
i~zation, are developing nervous disor-
ders, owing to increased trading OPP
erations and the undue consumption
of coffee. In European countries, how
ever, people are outgrowing lunatic
asylums. Obviously, therefore, the
time has come to go backward a little.
If only we could stop kilograms, make
it impossible to travel anywhere faster
than thirty miles an hour, have the
sense to curb our pitiful little social
ambitions and live quietly, in the coun-
try, If possible, there might be some
hope for us; as we cannot, or VIII not,
the only thing to do is trust to luck.

Paderewski's Eecret,

he takes one finger after the other
