HOLLIS HALL AT HARVARD
Anecdotes of Several IIIustrious Men

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republi-
can.
Hollis Hall, the oldest Harvard dor
mitory still used as a residence for
students. has naturally historic in
terest that no amount of modern Ink
ury can impart to it's more pretentious
rivals. This hall was built in answer
to an appeal of the overseers some 1872
years ago, stating that "more than
ninety students were obliged to live in
private families, and were less orderly
and well regulated than those within
the walls" Nails glass and other ma
terials were imported from England.
Interesting are the memories of the
young men who in the various rooms
of Hollis prepared themselves TO take
important places in the history of their
country. The fact that no student was
then allowed TO occupy a given room
more than one year at a time-a rule
enforced in order that the best and
poorest rooms should be lmpartially
distributed-has practically made the
whole building reminiscent of the stu
dent days OF illustrious Americans. IN
der this rule, for example, Henry ga-
vid Thoreau occupied successfully four
different rooms IN Hollis. The rooms
are still pointed out In which Ralph

WINNING HIS WAY.

Ex-Speaker Reeds praise of the
smaller colleges. voiced in an after
dinner talk at a recent Amherst alum
nj feast was sensible and directly to
the point He said in effect that the
boys who went to the smaller colleges
were pretty sure to get good educa-
tion because that was what they went
for. The intimation conveyed was
that "a goodly proportion of the stu
dents of the larger colleges attend
them because of the social prestige
that such a connection might lbe sup
posed 10 give.
While this may be true as regards
the sons of the well to do, there are al
ways students at the leading colleges
who are prepared to pay for an edu-
cation by the most vigorous self-denial.
The story of how one Harvard boy
conquered the difficulties that beset
him reads like fairy tale. His name
is Clarence Bash, and when he came to
Harvard four years ago he was forced
by financial circumstances to shelter
himself in an attic room and feed him
self on an unvarying menu of cruel,
sugar and water Then an aunt in the
country-an aunt of the Old Aunt
Mary sort-who must have known
something of his circumstances, sent
him a tub of butter. 1t was good but
ter, but altogether too much of "a lux
ury for this knowledge seeker. SO he
went forth into Cambridge and sold it.
He sold it so readily that the idea oc
Cured to him that here was means
of swelling his meagre income. He Sc
cured another tub and sold that. The
people he had first supplied wanted
more. He put a basket on his should
ers, after the fashion of the banan'
man, and carried his sweet and whole
some rolls and pats from door to door,
and promptly found that he needed
delivery cart. He sent back to his
rural home and secured pair of pom
les, and soon found that the outlay was
handsomely justified. Now he keeps
five delivery wagons constantly busy,
and while butter mans vocation does
not necessarily require an academic
education, yet there is strong Droba-
bility that the rising youth will find
new and broader fields of industry to
engage his talents.
OF course the moral is that he con-
quered opportunity and held fast to his
vantage. He was industrious. faithful
and furnished good butter. In so do
ing he neatly fabricated the road to
learning, and by his own clever efforts
placed himself in position of inde-
pendence that his fellow students may
we'll envy.

Mrs. Nations Crusade.

Mrs. Nation, the Kansas saloon de-
mofisher, has aroused the sympathy
of other women, and thus gives to her
crusade a new aspect. If the move
ment is to awaken the help of the pro
hibition women in the state, Kansas
has a queer experience ahead. Kan
sas by law forbids saloons. That be-
ing the case. the saloon is an outlaw
and not under the protection of the au-
thorities. 1t has no rights, which is
the basis upon which Mrs. Nation
fould defend herself if complained of
by the saloonkeeDer. 1t is not singu-
lar that other women, seeing the en-
thusiasm of Mrs. Nation, and being as
much opposed to the saloon as she is,
follow her example.
Yet when Mrs. Nation announces
that she will carry her war to other
states she overlooks a serious obstacle
that will confront her when she works
eastward from Kansas. In Illinois
she would find that her attacks upon
the saloon would be attacks upon prop
erty sanctioned by law and under the
protection of the law. Without enter
ing upon the discussion of the saloon.
which has figured enough in argument,
the cold fact Is that in Kansas it is an
outlaw, while in Chicago it Is not
Good or bad, it is sanctioned by the
law, which is the work of the people.
and to attempt to smash saloons in
Chicago will only land Mrs. Nation in
the hands of the police. In Kansas
Mrs. Nation is in advance of the law
of which she is a supporter, although
a usurDer in its execution. The liq-
uor question is broad one, and for
tuEate indeed would Kansas be. and
all the world, if Mrs. Nation could set
tie it.. Scholars and statesmen have
30 far falled to see the way out. But
Kansas will get some excitement out

RULERS AND SALARIES.

The death of Queen Victoria leaves
the world with but one woman abso
lutte ruler upon the throne of any coun,
try. The one remaining is Wilhelm
ma, the girl queen of Holland. Today
the rulers of the world are apportioned
as follows:
Twenty-Five presidents, sixteen
kings, eleven dukes, six emperors, five
princes, five sultans. two khans. two
ameers one queen, one khedive, one
shah, one bey, one mikado. one maha-
rajah, one raiah. William. of Ger
many is both emperor and king. Sidi
Ali Pacha, bey of Tunis, is the oldest
ruler, having been born in 1917. He
antedates Queen Victoria by two years
The youngest active ruler. excluding
the little Alfonso of Spain, is the girl
queen of Holland. In the matter of
salaries the royalty has all the best of
it, and the salary of our president IS
but a picayune. The Gar of Russia
commands $12,000,00O annually, the
Sultan of Turkey $4,000 900, and from
these figures the other royal rulers
range down to less than a million. On
the whole it is not difficult TO see why
empires are popular with the reigning
families.
