Now ! began to be assailed by that
Illness, which terror and anxiety had
hitherto but partially representa- vio-
lent seasickness in all its horror.
Afraid of being washed from the deck,
over which the waves were breaking
now, once more crept in wretchedness
below.
Before descending, ! cast a despair
ing glance at the loosening sail which
still caught the wind; 1t was a source
of increasing danger which | dared not
attempt to remedy, even had ! strength
10 have done so, for the wet deck was
now sloping like the roof OF a house,
and I would assuredly have fallen into
the sea to leeward. After several feeble
efforts, succeeded In partially closing
the companion hatch, for warmth and
security, and, descending, threw myself
on the cabin floor, sick and despairing
The lurching of the vessel, the close
ness OF the atmosphere, and general
oCor of the cabin, overpowered me at
last; I became fearfully Ill, and from
being so, lapsed into Inconsistencies,
after enduring all the wretchedness in
uuced by that ailment OF the ocean.
For the top Of my head seemed about
10 fly Off, its sides to be crushed in;
there was singing in my ears, an
ache In my eyeballs; and then came
that awful sinking of the pulses, Of the
body, of the soul itself which thou
sands have endured in cases Of aggra-
waited sea-sickness, but none has been
able to depict.
In short, after paroxysm OF illness
and tears, became totally unconscious
of the peril and horror Of my situation,
and found a refuge In sleep.

THE POET PRIEST.
A Monument to the Memory Of
Father Ryan Proposed,
Daughters OF thu Coniederecy, In the
cay OF His Hir,h. VIII Undertake
tho "orh-sIr.. wnlterP. Bmrrow
Introduces the Subjcct.

There was an interesting meeting of
the Daughtrs of the Confederacy yes
ter6ay afternoon. Mrs. Charles G. Ell
lott, the president, PIES dcd.
The subject was discussed OF appoint
Ing committee to visit the sick pen
sioners during the year.
Mrs. Walter p. Burrow, the record
Ing secretary, introduced the subject of
erecting a suitable monument to the
memory of the poet priest Father
Abram j. Ryan, and WAS made chair
man of the committee.
The president is very anxious that
this idea be materializcd by next Nc
mortal day.
Father Ryan was born III Norfolk,
Va, in the year 1886. 1t is only lately
that the house in which he was born
was destroyed. His loyalty to the South
Is known to all through his beaut full
poems. He possessed the true poet C
temperament His nature was generous,
impulsive, sympathetic and loyal to II
extreme AT Il youthful age he showed
signs OF talent, and 1t was to his pi US
mother, to whom he was devotsdly ~
tached, that he owed much OF his early
education.
He was taken by his parents when
quite oung-to ST Louis, and
studied there under the Brothers OF the
Christian School. Although devout
Catholic, Father Ryan was beloved and
esteemed by all denominations.
Later he was n distinguished scholar
ut the Ecclec asticni Seminary ut Mag
ara, n. Y, and he afterwards became
distinguished as an orator and lee
turcr.
There is vein of touching sadness
running through all his lines, as Is par
ticularly seen In his poem ~ Land
Without Ruins"
Father Ryan was very fond of mu-
sic. When asked once how he worked
himself into the mood of writing a
poem he said: som times & myself
In tune by playing on the piano. Music
is more to me than poetry or clcGuence,
or anything else. Music inspires me to
| poetry"
AS an example of his unreconstruct-
edness, ne was asked to read an origi-
nal poem at n benefit where money was
| to be raised for monument to General
Lee, There We're many Federal officers
and their wives present. and when
Father Ryan arose and began slowly,
1.-The blue and the green they may
minglc,
But never the blue and the gray"
Many of those who wore the blue took
their departure.
Father Ryan admitted that he was Il
man of prejudice.
az never saw an impartial man In my
life" he said. Christ himself had His
likes and His disikes, and we are not
better than He was"
Oliver Wendell Holmes was an adj
mircr OF Father Ryan's "You may sing
your sweet songs to the South" wrote
he, land I pipe to the North, but liter.
ature has no party"
Some one has lately claimed to have
written the poem Reunited" Tho
charge on the poets character Is dis
tressing. The time to have put forth
such claims was when the poet was Nv
ing and able to explain the matter.
Reunited" was written at the time
of the great yellow fever epidemic, in

greater power of vision was required
man constructed q more powerful eye
by which he could see to the farthest
limits OF the universe, by which he could
see the minutest animalculae. by which
he could discover OF what elements the
sun and stars were composed.
These are examples of the extension
of mans powers. All further progress
must be along this enlargement of mans
physical power and his mental faculties;
and TO develop these is the great work
of education If man was created in the
image of God, as we must believe, he
was created not only with faculties sim
liar to those of God, but with the latent
power Of extending those faculties until
when his ultimate perfection was reach
ed he would be equal to God himself
Mans mind has three distinct divisions
the intellect, the emotions and the will.
Education must not develop the intellect
alone, the emotions must also be cult
waited 1t has been proved that the
ideals which shape mans intellectual
powers have their seat in the emotions.
The will must be developed in order TO
give the child the full command Of all
his faculties, mental as well as physi-
cal, and so make him able to continue
in the upward march of development

CITY NORMAL EVENT
Prof. Taylor Addresses Grad
uating Class of Five.
Inc MUSICAL PROGRAM
President Stewart of the
Board Presents Diplomas.

The tenth annual commencement Of thu
Crawford last night before an audienc'
that comfortably filled the theatre. The
stage was simple but becomingiy decorat
ed with flowers. Across the front was
stretched the class motto, Not failure
but low aim is crime" The five young
ladies who composed the graduating class
occupied the box on the right.
The exercises began with a selection by
the High school orchestra, followed by
an eloquent invocation by Rev. Thayer OF
the First Congregational church. The
High school orchestra followed with an
other selection. This orchestra has a well
deserved reputation for artistic work and
last night, under the leadership OF Miss
Clark, they more than sustained their
reputation, both selections being Nber-
ally applauded.
Superintendent Dyer then introduced
the speaker OF the evening, President A.
r Taylor Of the State Normal school at
Emporia, who delivered the class address
On the subject What the people, have a
right to expect from the public schools"
Superintendent Dyer referred to the
speaker as probably being the man who
was qualified beyond all others to speak
concerning the history and present con-
ditions and needs Of the public schools of
the state; and President Taylors address
Certainly bore out the correctness of this
statement. 1t was a mastery presenta-
ton of the subject and teemed with in
formation and instruction of the greatest
value both to the professional teacher
and the general public
Following President Taylors address
Mr.. Fritz Huffman sang a solo, accom-
panied by Mr.. Henry Huffman. Mr.
Huttman's song was vigorously encored,
and the second selection only whetted the
desire Of the appreciative audience to
hear more, as was manifested by a hearty
attempt to secure a second encore.
Miss Stever, the principal of the City
Normal school, then presented the class
to Superintendent Dyer, who, after few
words of comm endation and advice to the
members OF the class, in turn presented
them to President Stewart Of the board
of education. President Stewart, with a
few well chosen words, bestowed upon
the five graduates their wall-earned
diplomas, after which Rev Dubber of the
Central Christian church pronounced the
benediction.
President Taylor's address was in part
as follows:
"a great deal Of criticism is from time
to time made against our public schools.
Recently an eastern paper published an
oh,
that the moral greatness of New England
was not due to the early establishment Of
her system of public schools. 1t is said
that our schools fail to arouse desire
for knowledge among their pupils, that
the boys lose interest in study and drop
put of school; that this is true in some
measure of the girls also; and that there
a failure to bring them to a higher
