THE VALUE OF EDUCATION.

Should?

G. Louise Bell in Christian Work.
Our lives, without education, are
like rough, unhewn stones in the
quarry. Our untutored minds are as
unsightly blocks until the polisher's
skill brings out many latent virtues
and talents previously buried from
sight. Many delicate vein Of color
is thus brought to light, many a
beauty. hitherto concealed, in this
way grsets our view.
In bygone age Aristotle declared
that statue. lay hidden in every
block of marble, and that the art Of
sculpture serves only to remove the
superfluous matter and to clear away

The more the statue grows
The figure is in the stone, and the
| sculptor only finds it. The stone may
appear to be destitute of beauty, but,
as Michael Angelo exclaimed, upon
finding in lonely street of Floren ce
a block OF marble half embedded in
the mire, and beginning to dig about
it, all regardless of soiling his holi-

in learning abides has been repre-

summit OF high mountain, approach
able only by rough and dangerous
roads, paths guarded by savage
monsters threatening to devour, or
at times lined with bowers from
which float the songs of sirens who
endeavor to entice the traveller from
the right way. In this ascent, labor,
caution and faithfulness are requisite,
and a guide necessary. Step by step,
the upward journey must be made
until the summit is gained.

CAPT. R0WAN'S OFFENSE.
Treachery of Filipino Spy Caused
Severe ReprIaaIr.

Severe ReprisaIs.
Leavenworth, Kan, July "details of
the alleged offense of Capt A. s. Roman,
the burning of a Filipino town, for which
he is to undergo inves stigation, have been
received here in a letter from Private
John E. Watson, Nineteenth Infantry,
dated Jaqua, Bohul Island, May 49, The
letter says:
"A native spy came into the post and
walked over to Capt. Romans tent and
looking in, found 1t empty. But when he
started to go away he saw Corpl Daily
standing few yards away. The spy took
Corpl. Daily for the Captain and walking
up to him gave the Corporal a folded
note. AS Daily took the note to read the
spy drew out dagger and stabbed him
to death.
THE insurgents had planned to rush in
and put the rest of us down during the
confusion that would follow the Captains
death, but we coolls fell in under arms
and formed a skirmish line around the
post. The insurgents thought they had
got Capt Rowan, so when the skirmish
line advanced they met about 100 men in
the bush. About fifty of the enemy were
killed and about a dozen were taken pris-
oners who were killed while trying to
escape.
The men caught the spy who murder

to death, but some men with cooler heads

Shaffer Determined That the Scale

MilIs-He Is Taking No Chances on
the Conference to BE Held This
Week.
Pittsburg, Pa, July IA complication
has arisen which may have an important
effect on the action to be taken at the
coming conference between the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers and representatives of the Sheet
Steel and Steel Hoop companies to settle
the wage scale.
On Saturday twelve men were dis
charged from the Wellsville, Ohio, steel
plant, an underlying company of the
United States Steel Corporation No
reason was give for the discharges, but
the men say the action was taken be-
cause the discharged men were known
to have taken active part in unionlzing
the mill, which has always heretofore
before the Advisory Board of the Anal
gamated Association, which was in ses-
sion here yesterday, the result being that
an order has gone forth from President
Shaffer calling upon ali union men in the
mill to strike tomorrow.
This actor may seriously cripple the
plant and emphasizes the important fact
that President Shaffer is determined that
the scale must be signed for all mills
alike,and will take no chances on settle
ment of the existing troubles by the con-
ference to be held here this week. The
President of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion has not as yet been notified officially
that a renewal of the conference on the
street scale has been requested but he
has been made aware of the desire of the
companies and will accept the invitation.
The conference will probably begin on
Wednesday next.
