The Gain In Going Through College.
The benefit that a man who cares for
a 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
life than it would have been had he
not spent a few of his best years in
contact with the results of high
thought and in the daily performance
OF invigorating intellectual tasks. The
ups and downs of the Stock Exchange
cannot take away from him what he
has thus stored up, nor could the best
gifts Of the money god have enabled
him to purchase, after years spent in
relentless pursuit of dollars, that which
in the golden days of early manhood
he had made his own in the quiet col
iege halls.-Baltimore News.

Twenty Lost Gold Mines.

There are at least 20 lost gold mines
in various parts of the world. Many
of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There is one in the north of the
Transvaal, for instance, that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had, as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one of the animals and a moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently in the greatest terror
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg. In its struggles it had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
20 start work on the mine. But in
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the nine
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was ire.
mendous excitement in California
when a prospector described a gold
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out, with the discoverer of
the mine as guide, but tie mine has
never been discovered, though thou

the address he referred to President
Roosevelt dining Booker Washington
and said TO the negroes that their
best friends lived in the south. He told
them they did not need recognition
by the president as it would not avail
nothing in the south. He says: THE
law which separates you from the
white people in the state socially has
been and always will be inexorable
and it need rot concern you or me
whether the law is violated elsewhere.
for it never will be violated in the
south. It's violations would be your de-

He pledged the best efforts of the
whites TO aid the negro. but told them
that social equality was an idle dream.
