lteh-gfade classical Academies, and a
half-century later burst into flower in
the founding of Davidson College. Their
patriotism, religion, and love of learning
are blended in every word of the motto on
the college seal, Alenda lux ubi orta Lib
ertas. { Let learning be cherished where
Liberty has arisen).
The originator OF the movement was
Rev Robert Hall Morrison, ID. d., at the
spring meeting OF Concord Presbytery IN
1885 The Presbvteries of Bethel and
Morganton few months later added their
strength to that of Concord, the churches
in their poverty soon raised over $30,ooo
for the new institution, and On March ISL,
1897, Davidson College began its career,
with sc students in attendance, ana lf.
Morrison as it's first president.
In 1866 Maxwell Chambers, of Salisbury,
bequeathed to the college a residuary
legacy OF a quarter Of million dollars.
The stately main building was soon erect
ed at a cost of $4,000, expensive ap-
pnratus and cabinets were purchased, new
members were added to the faculty, and
the college had entered upon new era
of prosperity and influence when the Civil
War called most of it's students to the
front.
The regular exercises of the college
were never intermitted during the war,
though its students were mainly boys too
young to bear arms, but of her munihcent
ante bellum endowment Of $26O.00O, only
one fourth survived the financial rum OF
the South. Ever since this overwhelming
loss the college has had to make up in
zeal untiring labor, and heroic self-denial
what she lacked in worldly wealth.
Since the war the endowment has slowly
grown to about $125,000, and the college
has gone steadily onward with its work,
training Southern leaders in church and
State, at peace with its own denomination
and all other institutions OF learning,
standing always for genuineness. thor
oughness, and unremitting study In an
age OF educational shams, easily-won de-
grees, and suicidal zeal for numbers, ana
giving to her students that liberal, hard
won. Christian culture which leads to
broadened vision. intellectual self-rell-
ance, and spiritual power.

Argentina Is Not satisfed With the
Protocol, but Chaeces Seem

Outcome

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Advices re-
ceived by Senior Infante, the Chilean
charge, today confirmed the news already
published that the Argentine minister at
Santiago had informed the Chilean min
lister Of foreign affairs. that Argentina
could not accept alls the terms Of the
protocol heretofore signed for the settle-
ment of the dispute, and that some
changes would be necessary in the In
strument.
The understanding here is that no for
NAL demand has as yet been made upon
the Chilean government for a change
in the terms of the protocol, but that
the matter has simply been one Of in
formal talk al Santiago. This being the
case, the hope is expressed that salts
factory arrangement may yet be
reached.
Mr. Infante continues to express his
firm conviction that there will be no war
because of the present misunderstanding.
The government of Chile, he says. has
been conducting the negotiations in a
very amicable manner and confidently
looks for ap eaceful solution of the diff

During the biting blizzard which re-
Gently cost Montana and Wyoming stock

sheer, went out just as the fierce storm
was brewing and rounded up the cattle
in places where they could get shelter
and food. With intuition that anticipated
the storm warnings of the weather Du-
reau. the little creature began looking
after her fiocks and not a single animal
refused to follow her advice.
The result was that in this instance
alone she saved for the president of the
National Live Stock association moro
than her weight In gold would equal.
Some of the members of the association
say that during the blizzard of last
spring two of their number were lost and
that the sheep was sent out to direct
them back to the ranch house. She
could tell by instinct in which direction
to go, while the men were compelled to
listen and then search.

1t was formerly the custom for promi-

TWO JEWELS VALUED At ss5, 900

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Mr. and Mrs.
Paul G. Thebaud, of Madison avenue
were robbed today of jewelry worth $50,
600. This was corroborated by Mr.. Fhe-
baud himself at headquarters, where in
company with member of the firm from
whom most of the jewelry had been pur-
chased he gave to the police partial list
of the jewels taken. The valuable con-
sisted in part of one pear-shaped dia-
mond, said by Mr.. Thebaud to be worth
$4,000; one pearl, weighing forty-four
grains. said to be worth $4,000, and BOG
small ornaments, making up a total OF
about So, 600.
The robbery is said by the police, and
also by Mr.. Thebaud, to have been the
work of a newly engaged valet, who had
been employed but two weeks. The valet
is missing, and the butler, who recon-
mended him, is under constant police sur

led by Mr. and Mrs. Thebaud, and several

their return Mrs. Thebaud discovered
that her diamond and pearl were gone,
but found that little else had been taken.
Mr.. Thebaud at once communicated by
telephone with the housekeeper of the
residence in this city, and it was discov-
cred that the other valuabies had also
been stolen.

DICKINSON, N. D., Dec 29.-Five
minutes before the 1926 p. m. Northern
Pacific train pulled out of the st. Paul
union depot on Saturday night, the ro-
tund figure of the governor of Minnie
sofa came into the view of waiting re-
p6rters. He was unaccompanied, but
aboard the train, was soon surrounded
by small group, including Attorney
General Douglas.
Minnesotas contribution to the official
town meeting about to be held on the
question of law at Helena will consist
chiefly of newspaper men. The papers
represented are tt e G lobe, Journal,
Tribune, Times and Pioneer. Sleeping
car porters are the only men aboard the
train manifesting the slightest interest
in the event or in those about to take
part in 1t. The consensus of opinion
among the newspaper men is that it will
be a frost.
Passengers spoken to are either wholly
ignorant or smile smiles of amused toll
erance of the modern Don QuiXote and
his legal man-at-arms. The governor ~
silent and meditative. He will talk on
nothing except the recent presentation
to him by capitol officeholders. That is
his courage. The flying prairies of North
Dakota glide swiftly backward, and this
beautiful winter day peace shines re-
splendent over vast stretches of glisten-
ing snow. The shrieking locomotive
alone gives voice to the feeling of Vans
war-tossed soul.
Eager Delegations Are Missed.
Peacefully the natives gather at the
depots, and with listless curiosity sean
the windows of the rushing train. No
frenzied delegations disturb the pastoral
scenes. Not even Jimtowl1, with its vast
stretches of human habitations strag-
Cling over the prairie, showed the slight
est concern. The depot was deserted,
and the church bells slowly rung out
their call to religious worship. The gov
ernor somewhat eagerly looked over the
depot grounds, apparently expecting an
encouraging deputation, but not even a
solitary passenger appeared in sight.

rors of the situation, as 1t presents itself

j. S. Keefe, of Evanston, the first SUBJ

Rogers, who disappeared from the home
of the. boy on July and have not been

The find of the detective is the outer

appearance. The garments, done up in
a large bundle, had been dragged by the
dog from beneath the platform of the
Central street depot of the Chicago s.

hiding place they had remained until the
dog brought them to light.
Every garment save one-a cloak-has

over the discovery, for in their view, it
effectually disposes of the theory of sui

Frank Rogers left the station with his
aunt he was disguised as q little girl,
and that after escaping detection by this
ruse, they left the city.

part in the procession, the United States
flag was carried in the procession by Gen.

Afterward, in the presence of the arch

high altar, Gen. Frisbie depositing the
American flag. After the services the
archbishop held an informal reception,
and presented each delegate a commem-

MILLERS in HARD LUCK
MANY KANSAS MILLS ARE SHORT
OF WHEAT

Topeka. Kan, Dec. @-Many of the
largest Touring mills. in Kansas will
have to shut. down before the close of
the week if the price of wheat does not
drop from the recent heavy rise. The
mills, which stocked up heavily two
months ago at the lower price, are run
ming to full capacity and are making big
money on their flour. Probably one half
OF the mills of the state did not do this,
and the result is that jump of IL cents
a bushel makes 1t Impossible for them
to buy and compete with the others.
Very little wheat is moving. as farmers
are. either holding for a greater rise or
to feed to stock, which is cheaper than
feeding Decent corn.
