Yes, soon the clefts of Farnassus
 Of our time to be, will ring;
 Should We learn of pending sorrows,
 To our present joys we'll cling; But the gods may use us kindly.
 And reveal a life so true,

 Through the work we gladly do.

 "I asked a stranger who sat near me the cause of the great interest among the spectators. Then he pointed out to me a gentleman whose earnest face seemed strangely familiar and my friend explained to me that this gem tlenan, one of the leading members of the senate, was Mir.

 "I started in surprise, for l well re- member when, as seniors, we visited the legislature then in session and laughingly selected our seato in the council chamber. MT.

 The address by Mir. Avalos. the class president, was alive with interest in the future progress of the Indian and the education of the Indian youth.

 Miss Lucy Ingraham. the sweet and gentle girl member of the class, feeling indisposed from recent illness, dele gated the honor of reading her original class poem to Miss Amy Bagnell of the middle class, who acquitted herself with credit to show she deserved the medal won in Monday evenings con- test.

CLASS DAY FESTIVAL
Interesting Proceedings at the Indian
 School Yesterday.

The class eay festival yesterday afternoon at the Indian school was A novel and interesting event. At o'clock the entire school of 600 pupils assem- bled by classes on thn shady lawn in front of the school builcing and spent a very pleaalnt hour in honor of the class about 10 graduate. A small plat form had been tastefully decorated with the class colors and motto, and here the class of 1901 found itself sur rounded by teachers and pupils who, with afi'ectionate interest, listened to the past and the future hopes of four of their number who will soon olip out from among them for a broader ex> perlence in life.
 The class president, Juan Avalos, showed parliamentary tact and ex- perlence in making the entertainment successful, while still retaining sim plicity ard informality. A unique fea- ture of the occasion was the claos his- tory, A pohderous, indexed volume re- curing the assistance of the president when Henry Ingraham, the class his- | torian, raised it n position for consul tatlon. Fortunately for the audience, the class thought. only sketches and refercenes were consulted, but these bright raGsages were so keenly enjoyed that there was regret that the modesty ol the class was the cause for lack of fuller commentary.
 Two of the class, Henry and Lucy In- graham, are brother and sister. and belong to the historical mission Indian tribe of southern California, whose an- cestry lived in the shadow of the old San Diego mission, and doubtless list ened to the words of wisdom, love and peace spoken by the faithful fathers wEo had the spiritual welfare of these people at heart.

BEWARE OF A COUGH.

A cough is not a disease but symp- tom. Consumption and bronchitis. which are the most dangerous and fatal diseases, have for their first indication a persistent cough, and if properly treated as soon as this cough appears are easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven wonderfully suc- cessful. and gained it's wide reputation and extensive sale by its success in cur ing the diseases whicl cause coughing. If it is not beneficial it will not cost you a cent. For sale by all druggists.

MISS HELEN KELLER.
HER INTELLECTUAL DEVELOP

Blind, Deaf and Dumb, She Has Been
Taught to Speak and Is Now Ac-

Another marvellous achievement by
Helen Keller has again brought ner
name prominently before the pubic
and reawakens interest in the career OF
this remarkable girl, who is undouDt-
eddy the greatest intellectual phenone-
non the world has ever known. AT
Radcliffe College, Cambridge, where
she is now a student, this girl, who In
childhood was deaf, dumb and blind,
made speech to her fellow students
upon being elected an officer OF her
class. Every word she uttered was
clear and distinct and was heard In
every part of the room.
Helen Keller was born In Alabama
on June 81, 1880. Her father was
former Confederate officer and later
United States marshal. When she was
10 months old, as the result of sickness,
she was deprived of all her senses ex-
cept that of feeling. Until she was Z

some well-known place and draw the
exact line of the sticks shadow in the

line of the shadow, and by observing
the angle which it forms with the line
already drawn in the snow they can
tell how far ahead their husbands are.

The authorities are reproached with
having encouraged these evils by un-
due tolerance. In former times every
important commercial firm had its rep
resentative on the boerse. Now these
agents are kept away by the vexatious
proceedings of the authorities, who
levy a special impost on them. The re-
port also demonstrates against the I'M
due pressure Of direct taxation on joint
stock companies. Direct taxation for
them amounts to no less than ~ to 20
per cent of their income, and in some
instances to even more. The report di-
reefs attention to the unsatisfactory
state of the existing laws with regard
to litigation resulting from boerse oper-
atoms. The market for railway stock

duced to inconsiderable dimensions,

Blaine Helped the Newspapers.

One interesting fact about Govern
ment reports is that they are generally
published ON Monday mornings, and
the reason for this is that the newspa-
pers on that day are not so crowded.
and thus more space is secured. James
G. Blaine, who was an editor before
he became statesman, was the first
to appreciate the opportunity of the
Monday morning newspaper, and when
he had an important announcement TO
make or report to submit it was al
ways sent out the last of the week. so
as to secure the best possible treatment
on Monday morning. His example has
become a precedent in Washington Of
ficialism.
