EDUCATION FOR MODERN BUSINESS.
Address by President nadiey, of Yale
University.


University.
President Arthur T. Hadley, of
Yale Univei sity, recently responded
to the toast, Education for Modern
Business Responsibilities" He said
in part: 'The two previous speakers
have told You better than I can do
your greatness and the greatness OF
your responsibilities. 1t is for me to
suggest how in the future men may
, be tried who shall fill worthily tho
places that you now occupy. 1t is
one of the interesting things to any
one who looks at the catalogues of the
colleges of the country to see how
they are becoming each year, more
and more, the educators of business
men. A generation ago the great ma
iority of college graduates went into
professions. To-day a large part of
them go into commercial life. There
are two reasons for this. In the first
place, great many of the men who
go to college to-day without having
any other idea than of making the
most of their life find that the busi-
ness opportunity and business re-
sponsibilities of the present genera
ton are so large that there is no OBJ
ject of their ambition so worthy as
business success. And, on the other
hand, a great many men, who intend
from the first to go into business, find
the responsibilities of business
so difficult, the vastness of
its problems so great that they
prefer to take many years
instead of few in preparing themselves
for these responsibilities. The COM
bination of these two things has
brought our colleges into closer con-
nection with the world of commerce at
present than they ever were in the
past. And now the question comes up
how shall they fulfill, how shall the
colleges fulfill the new duties which
are laid upon them by the necessity
of preparation for this wide worth?
Now, to begin with, it is very easy to
say what they shall not do. They can
not do their work by undertaking to
instruct the boys in the details of what
they will find it necessary to do in the
office. II they learn these details
from books they would have to learn
them over again, to unlearn all they
had learned and learn them better
from the experience OF practical life.
'"That education is best and high
est which most fully brings home to
the boy by illustrations of history, by
inspirations of literature, by the teach

commander, were behind it holding
off a horde of the enemy. Things
were getting warm for the federal
force. In order to encourage his men
Miles kept jumping on to the abattis,
thus making of himself the only hui
man mark which the enemy could see.
Miles ran along the abattis inspiring
his men by his voice. He simply was
following out the instructions which
every American army officer receives.
Miles fell finally, SO badly wounded
that for a long time it was thought he
could not recover.
In the late '70s, during the can.
paign against the Nez Perces, it be-
came necessary in order to dislodge
the Indians to send some troops up
the shelving side of mountair that
was utterly without cover and was
slippery with ice. 1t looked like cer-
tain death for all the command en-
gagged. Before the start was made
Lieutenant Frank d. Baldwin, q staff
officer, volunteered, in order to put

incline alone to show the command
that 1t could be done. He started,
and the savages opened on him from
every crag and peak. The men did
not let him get far before they were
following in his footsteps. but the
whole savage fire centered on Bald
win. That impalpable protecting arm
which seems sometim es to be thrown
around heroes saved NJ. He would
have been given a medar of honor had
not one already been pinned on his
blouse just outside pocket which
contained certificate of merit for
personal gallantry on the battlefield.
The examples given are few. The
rule is general and is always followed.
1t may be that the military critics OF
the continent must find some recipe
for changing the Anglo-Saxon charac-
ter before they can hope to change the

Arrangement of the DininG-Room.


Women who are the delighted pos.
SCISSORS of large, low-ceilinged dining
rooms, old oak furniture and precious
china are the envy of their less for
tunate sisters. A Aparlor never appeals
to a woman as a dining-room does.
She is always concocting some scheme
by which her dining-room can be
made more homelike. AS the dining
room is frequently the living room
also, it should receive all possible
care. If it is fairly large, has a hard
wood floor and a deep window OF two,
it may be made thing of beauty.
The floors should be polished or
waxed, preferably dark, and strewn
with a bright rug or two. The furni-
ture should match the floor, although
lounge and chairs upholstered in
blue and white cretonne are desirable
for comfort and cheer. The lounge
must be broad and low, with several
durable pillows.
Wallpaper in Delft blue is most eff
fective, although the color scheme
may call for different style. In the
windows have few growing plants.
Let them be vivid greens and reds.
They add much to the cheeriness OF a
room. One or two carefully chosen
pictures may hang on the walls. Their
choice is apt to be a nerve-racking
operation unless the housewife has
confidence in her good taste. Copies
of fruit pictures, game and fish are
permitted and an old family portrait
in oils. If one is in doubt about pic
lures the walls may be covered with
Delft and Spode ware OF even less pre-
tentious china, strung on wires and
arranged in rows on hanging shelves.
The sideboard is spread with frlnged
damask doilies, and set with the treas
ured silverware and cut glass. In
the china closet-one with swinging
doors and dark velvet linings--is dis
played the choice china. The contents
must be arranged with care. Do not
place together the heavier and daint-
ier wares, but grade them gently, so
as to give the best effects. Between
meals the table should be spread with
blue and white denim cover, set with
the fern-dish. This adds home like
touch to the room and destroys the
formality which a set table gives.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.

is said to be the most effective way of

KILLED BY TRAIN ROBBERS.
A. J. Fay of California Shot on U. p
Train,

Union Pacific eastbound passenger train
No. 4, which left Denver, Col, Saturday
night, was held up by two men several
miles west of Hugo, Col, ninety miles this
side of Denver The passengers in the
Pullman sleepers were robbed Of their
money and valuables.
A. J. Fay a resident of California, who
had been visiting in Denver, and was on
his way to st. Louis, refused to surrender
his valuables, and fired a shot at one of
the robbers, but missed. Thereupon the
robbers fired, one shot entering Fay's
mouth and coming out a the back of his
head, killing him almost instantly. The
robbers stopped the train, jumped off, and
escaped.
The robbers got on one of the sleepers
near Limon and after the train had start

opened the door to put them off. The rob-
bers. who We're masked, pointed pistol
at his head and ordered him to lead the
way through the coaches.
All of the passengers were asleep. and the
conductor was ordered to wake them one
at time. The frightened passengers were
told to keep quiet or they would be killed,
and at the same time We're asked to hand
over their money and valuables. The rob-
bers obtained about 800 in cash and
number Of gold watches and other pieces
The robbery took place few minutes
before l o'clock Sunday morning. The
body of Fay, who was killed, was taken
off at Hugo and shipped to Denver. He
was sixty-eight years Of age, and promi-
nent Odd Fellow.
The conductor, who was compelled to
hold a bag while the robbers relieved the
passengers, lost his watch, and asked that
1t be returned to him in order that he
might run his train on time. The robbers
gave 1t back.
After ransacking the two coaches the men
made the conductor pull the bell cord, but
the train was going SO rapidly that the
robbers were taken to Hugo before IL
slowed up enough to enable them to tump.
They compelled the conductor to get Off
ahead Of them, SO that If any of the pas
sengers had been in waiting they would
have shot him first. After the robbers had
dismounted they ordered the conductor to
return to his train
Miss Shaw of Denver, a passenger on the
train, stated that when the men entered
the cars every one was asleep and very
few knew anything of what was going on
until they were awakened by the robbers
When the men came to her berth a pistol
was pointed at her face and she was told
to hand over her valuables. With great
| presence OF mind she opened her pocket
book letting number of bills fall out and
then handed the purse, containing some
silver, to the robbers.
She managed also to save her watch
which was pinned to her dress, by placing
her arm over 1t.
