TO THE BBNwooD GRADUATES.
Rev. G. w. Bente Delivered the Bac-
calaureate Sermon Yesterday

calaureate Sermon Yesterday
Morning.
The bacoalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the Central Ben
wood school was delivered yesterday
morning at the Methodist Episcopal
Church by the pastor, Rev. G. w. Bent,
and large congregation was present.
Rev. Mr.. Bent developed several well
selected points and his remarks were
of thoughtful and interesting nature.
He began by calling attention to the
standards of manhood during different
phases of society and national devel-
opment and the ancient history of in
dividuals. The first standard of which
he spoke was that of physical man
hood; the second that of social and
political position, as chieftans and
kings, and another, and the one COM
monty set up at present, the money
stanard. In referring to the political
situation here and elsewhere the min
lister spoke of the men who sacrifice
their time and money and so often their
characters in their contest for Office. In
his reference to the text, las He
Thinketh in His Heart So is He,' Rev.
Mr. Bent remarked that we might
leave it for the time being Gin his
heart" and say that as man "thinketh
so is he" but man of thought, he
continued, "is more than man of phys
iCal development, more than political
position and greater than gold. All of
our comforts and convenienceS of honor
and civilization are products of the
man of thought. In education, poll
tics and church affairs few thinking
men direct the course of events, but
the power to think in any of these
lives and to become a leader is in the
reach of all. We attribute moral quail
tiles to individuals on account of their
thoughts. A man is good or bad just
as he may think"
He also said that there are many
professors in our State schools who
publicly declare that they have moth
ing to do with heart culture and moral
training, and that it was the province
of the institution to only develop the
intellect and incidentally emphasized
the point that no individual could have
we'll rounded character without heart
culture He then gave illustrations of
man whose naraarc had hpnn cucopcsfu1
and who had always adhered to moral
and Christian principles, citing the case
of Daniel, who was prime minister to
five kings, and who had always been
true to the laws of his Cod, In con-
c:usion he also cited the careers of
Gladstone and others, who were al
ways glad to acknowledge their ale
glance to the Heavenly King.

Rescuing a Kitten.

A well-known Boston architect has n
tender spot in his heart, and once spent
several hours devlslng a way to rescue
a kitten which had fallen into one Of
the yentilating flues in the walls of an
apartment in the postoffice building.
The kitten had been imprisoned several
days without food or water. The fiue
was forty feet in depth. A Boston
newspaper tells the story.
Notice of the affair was brought to
the architect late of a Saturday after
noon. The cries of the kitten could be
family heard, and the would-be rescuer
at first thought he would cut through
the marble facing OF the apartment in
which the fue was located. Fortu-
nately some one suggested that perhaps
the prisoner would seize the end of a
line If it were weighted with something
bulky and readily laid hold upon.
The experiment was tried, and.
strange to say, the nearly starved crea-
ture took fast hold with its claws. The
rope was very carefully and slowly
drawn up. and the kitten with ii. She
was very weak, but warm milk. admin
istered at intervals, soon restored her.

Chicago Student Who Has Mastered

One OF the students OF the University
of Chicago went to restaurant on
jackson street few days ago With
two friends who had fought with the
First Regiment at Santiago. Natural
ly they talked of the war, and although
the student showed considerable
knowledge Of the campaign, his pros
nunclat.on OF Spanish proper names
was bad. Invariably he gave the Spans

His companions. who We're better
posted on the Castilian tongue, stood
1t as long as they could, and finally
one of them said: "See here. If you
want to talk war with us you must
pronounce those Spanish words as they
should be. Say San Huan' and Mon
teho, and remember that 'Hunta' is
proper. Don't give the words the u

The derlslve laugh that followed so

his feet.

He was raised In Mexico near the town

he was only an ordinary goat, and great

at Lampazos, where a shipment of
goats was being loaded, and led big
flock Of stampeded animals back into
the pens and into the cars.
The value of this particular goat was
quickly recognized. and for several
months he had regular employment as
leader In rounding up and loading ship

places along the line of the Mexican
