| A good college education also stand:
for the investment of power. The stu.
dent invests power, and power he takes
out; for education creates and increases
power. Two forms it specially pro.
notes, which modern life demands; the
power to think, and the power to will
The power to think is the greatest in
tellectual power. The power of knowf-
edge is the power of the granary, which
gathers UP and holds the harvest OF
many a field; the power of thought Is
the power of the mill which grinds
these harvests into flour for the use OF
man. The power of thought Is the pow
er to see, to foresee, to reason, to
Judge, to infer, 1t is the power which
every study of the college helps to
train. Language gives discrimination:
science, observation, analysis and syn
thesis; mathematics, also, analysis and
synthesis-the taking apart and the
putting together elements of thought:
history, comprehension, and philoso-
ply, self-repletion and self-discovery.
In some way-and the exact way is
still unknown-the man who pursues
these and the other studies of the col
lege four years, becomes a thinker.
When he entered college, he knew lit
tie, and could think less; when he
leaves college. his knowledge is still
limited enough; but lie has gained a
distinct power to think.-From Success.

Man VINO Caught jeff Davis.

Casper Knobel, a veteran of the Civil
War, famed throughout the country as
''the private who captured Jefferson
Davis" was among the jurors who
served during the present term In
common pleas court No. A. Knobel was
but a lad of twenty when he formed one
of a detachment of fourteen men of the
Fourth Michigan Cavalry, which left
the regiment, then stationed in Georgia
early on the morning of May 10, 1865
to search for the fugitive president OF
the Confederacy.
Noticing two tents in the distance
knobel left his companions and rode
off alone to see who were the occu
pants of the tents. Pulling aside thu
flap of the first one, he saw bundle Of
children's clothing and several wo
mems garments. AS he withdrew anC
was about to turn around his gaze fel
upon man leaving the other tent
whom he recognized as Jefferson Davis
A. sharp haiti and the head of the
Confederacy knew that his flight wai
ended. Discharging his musket as 6
signal to his comrades, the young cav.
alryman advanced, and, placing hi.
hands on the rebel chiefs shoulder
told him he was prisoner.
After the war Knobel located in this
CITY, and is now living at No. 27O3 Eas
Cumberland street, and is an active
member of Cavalry Post No. 55-Phila.

viii Devote Her Life to Leperr.

Mrs. Laura Schw1chtenberg, a veal
thy widow of New York, has decided
to devote her life to our new leper col
ony on the island Of Cebu, one Of the
Philippine group. Some time ago she
received, at her own urgent request,
appointment as government Inspector
Of hospitals in the Philippines, at
which time she visited the leper colo
ny, declaring that her commission
took that in. as the whole colony was
a hospital. She was greatly impressed
with the lack Of sanitary conditions
prevailing, with the hopeless condition
of the 10000 lepers congregated there
and especially with the large number
of sad children. Il did not see a single
happy-faced child there" she says.

has taken all pains t6 show that he is
one of the progressive and thinking
men of the day. This will go far, but
mot far enough. 1t will be found that
there is a vast difference between ap-

his side of a controversy which has to
do with the vital interests of the; rank
and file of the American people. The
time is not yet when the coolie may be

the Anglo-Saxon American workmen
have become the most capable aRd in
telligent through the enormous advant-
ages which are theirs through nigh
wages and prosperous conditions. The
front rank which is conceded to Ameri-
can trade could not be gained and held
but with the highest grade of workmen
and the recent Investigations have
shown that the American workman.
educated and thoughtful, can produce
more than any competitor. Debase this
freedom by bringing him into COMPETE
ton with an initiative coolie, who can
live upon the sum paid by the former
for his Injuries. and there will be a
passing of the advantages which have
been gained by years of specializing
training.
The argument is being used that there
are vast areas in the West which Will
not be improved under the systems
which obtain. That there are lands to
be prepared for cultivation. irrigating
bitches to be built and roads to be con-
structed. which cannot be made If the
labor is to be paid at the rates which
the white freeman must have. True 1t
is that for this kind of work the coolie
or peon Is of value. But there has not
been devised any plan by which the
cheap laborer can be kept in the condi-
ton for which he Is needed. Here In
Hawaii the inroads, which have been
made in the trades by the Chinese who
came here decade ago as contract
laborer, are apparent, The same will
be the result in larger measure in the
States after a while: that 1T has not
been so already is due to the special
duties which have engaged the atten-
ton of the coolie. The yellow food must
be held in check, and the agitation now
on promises to insure such result.

The Story of . Picture,

Benjamin Vests picture of the Death of Nelson" is closely connected with an anecdote of the great sailor. Just before he went to sea for the last time he was present at dinner, dur ing which he sat between the artist and Sir William Hamilton. Nelson was expressing to Hamilton his regret that he had not, in his youth. acquired some taste for art and some discrimination In judging 1t. But" said he, turning to West, there is one picture whose power I do feel l never pass a shop where your Death of Wolfe Is in the window without being stopped by It." West made some gracious answer to the compliment, and Nelson went on, "Why have you painted no more like it?"
 "Beca use, my lord," West replied, "there are no more subjects"
 "Ah," said the sailor, "I didn't think of that"
 "But, my lord" continued West T am afraid your intrepidity will yet furnish me with another such scene and if 1t should I shall certainly avail myself of it."
 "Will youT said Nelson-"will you, MT. West? Then hope I shall die in the next battleP'
 A few days later he sailed, his strangely expressed aspiration was re- alized, and the scene lives upon can- vas.
