The Gain In Going Through College

The Gain In Going Through College.
The benefit that man who cares for
college education gets by going to
college is a benefit that is already his
at the time he graduates. During the
four years or three years which he
spent at college he made himself a
richer man for life The world is a
larger, more varied, more interesting
place for him. His life will be a
broader, more liberal more satisfying

FEAST OF HORSES.
Very Old Festival Still Celebrated I'm
Hindustan.

Dosera, or the feast of horses" is q
very old festival in India. The Hindoos
say that on time long ago the god
Rama went to war with the king Of
Ceylon and was victorious because his
army had better horses and bullocks than
the kings army. So yearly, at the time
of new moon. the Hindoos worship the
horses and bullocks.
| had never heard Of this festival. and
on the morning of Dosera | was sur
prised to find my Arab pony Raja all
trimmed with bright yellow flowers. He
had n wreath around his neck, long
pendants of flowers hung about his ears,
ankIets of the same bright flowers Were
tied around his legs just above the hoof
and again above the knees, and tiny bou-
quets were tied to the harness in many
places and on the reins too. 1t was pret-
ty, and | am sure Raja felt dressed up"
for he was dignifed and quiet all that
day and carried his head little higher
than usual. Sometimes he does frisky
things, but we are not at all afraid Of
him, for he is intelligent, and if we say,
"Raja! Raja"' in decided tone he seems
to know that we wish him TO be digni-
fed. Raja means king, and we gave
him that name because we think him the
king Of Arab ponies.
At Dosera the bullocks, which are as
much used here as horses, had their
horns stained with bright colored paints,
generally a different color for each horn,
and strings of little tasSels Of many diff
ferent colors were tied from the tip of
one horn to the tip Of the other, or bright
pieces of ribbon would be used instead of
the tassels.
The white horses, of which there are
very many here, and the white builOcks,
100, were painted, some in stars or III
round dots. Others had the rising sun
painted on both sides Of their bodies in
red and gold colors. Some horses had
only their tails and names colored, while
a few drivers painted the sides of the
cart and the wheels also.
After all this decorating was finished
the people made pujah to the animals
which means that they worshipcd the
horses and the bullocks / could not find

Lunch En- Route.

An unfamiliar scene was witnesse 4
In the Delaware and Hudson depot in
this city yesterday noon. A theatrical
troupe bound from Port Jervis TO
Pittston came to this city by way OF
Honesdale, arriving here at 1926. AS
they wished to take the train leaving
here at 1916 for Pittston they con-
cluded they would not have time To
get dinner. But a bright mind con-
ceived the idea of telegraphing to the
Hotel American here to have luncheon
brought down to the depot to meet
them on the arrival of the train. Pro-
prietor Williams of the hotel hus lie /
to good purpose, for when the hurried
Thespians got here they found a smok-
ing hot lunch waiting for them Six
teen were in the party and in the
twenty minutes between trains the
depot was the scene of considerable
animation and mastication.

WHY NOT A NURSES HOME.
One Is Suggested to Relieve the Con
gestion at Emergency Hospital.

At the present time there is q sore
need for more room at the Emergency
hospital. There are more private pa
tients there now than there has been
in the history of the institution. Every
room set aside for patients is filled.
In addition to this even the nurses
rooms ana the nurses parlors have
been utilized to a large extent in re-
lieving suffering and caring for the
sick. These faithful caretakers have
been at great inconvenience lately.
but they have cheerfully incommoded
themselves to make room for the pa
tients needing hospital treatment.
In this condition of affairs 1t has
been suggested, and the suggestion is
timely one, that a nurses home or
residence be erected near the hospital
in order to provide shelter and a per-
manent abiding place for the hospital
nurses. Even in the times when the
institution is not crowded they cannot
get away from the scenes of their vo-
cation even when Off duty. At best
their lives are humdrum, self-sacrific-
ing ones, and when they do have a
little time they can call their own it
should be spent outside the walls of
the hospital.
This is an excellent opportunity for
local philanthropist to do a splendid
act. There are many benevolently-
minded persons in our city who could
endow nurses home and build one
without feeling the relaxation on his
purse to a great extent. The entire
cost of such home would not ex-
ceed s1,5OO, and this amount could not
be spent in a better cause right in
our own CITY.
The time to endow this home, If such
a step is to be taken, is now. Leaving
money for the purpose after death is
poor way, for it may be a long time
before that occurs. The nurses home
| should be started at once, and the
, philanthropist who wants it done right
should see to the building of it him
self. This is a most worthy cause,
| and 1t is sincerely hoped by all we'll
| wishers of the community that these
faithful ministers of the sick will not
| much longer be compelled to give up
their own beds to suffering mankind
