Graduates of Columbia, now living
on the Pacific coast, have formed an
organization. There are 1856 grad
yates in California and "a in Nevada,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Ar

When the honors of the Yale BIZ
centennial were distributed in the
way of degrees it was found that the
Columbia faculty was more prom
inently recognized than that Of any
other college or university in the
country.
Helen Mason, a pupil of the Berk-
eley institute for the blind in Berk-
eley, CAL, is remarkable student.
She is an expert typewriter, rides the
bicycle and is an adept card player.
She tells the cards by pin pricks, and
when she has sorted them puts them
on the table before her, and is ready
to play.

Christ founded has been a mighty in

nothing more than this, our debt of

An Equestrian Statue in Germany
Thus Protected from ROmping
T, Children.

A pretty story, which shows an adj
mirable trait common to almost all
German children, is told the Youths
Companion by a recently returned
traveller.
In a German city she saw fine
statue in bronze, around
the base of which bloomed a gay lit
tie garden.
= The visitor exclaimed with delight
over both the flowers and the statue,
and expressed some wonder that the
blossoms were left entirely unprotect-
ed by either railing or notice.
I'm our country l am afraid some
of the children might be tempted to
pick flower now and then, as this
seems aside from the busy part of the
city," she said to her German friend.
ooh, that would never be here" said
the friend, in amazement. "Why, the
garden was planted because the chill
dren would mOunt-tO the back of the

FALL

Flecks of yellow, blots Of red,
In the green boughs overhead;
bvithered heritage in the grass
OF the pasture where l pass;
These and many other signs,
Midst the cedars and the pines,
Seen as plain as light at dawn,
Tell the tale that summers gone.
Summer gone. but linger still
Beauties rare on plain and hill;
Tints that rival rainbow dyes
Set in summer evening skies,
Gemming meadow, fen and lea,
Bright as shells from out the sea,
Summers gone, but left are all
The countless splendors of the fall,
All the fairest flowers remain;
Golden rod in endless chain;
Daisies interspersed like gems
Bend and bow on graceful stems;
-Asters sporting everywhere,
Blue-eyed beauties bright and fair;
Late rose blooming on the lawn,
Needless that the summers gone.
BOb-white in the pasture land,
To his sweetheart near at hand,
Pipes his love notes, soft and clear,
As those trilled when June was here.
Flicker teeters through the air,
Quite as if he did not care
Whether seasons go or stay;
He'll be happy either way.
And the fiicker's view is mine;
Winters frost or summers shine,
Each hath pleasures, heaven sent,
For the heart where dwells content.

1t was Monday, blue Monday, and
Daphne, commonly called Daffy, had
slipped over early to Rates studio;
Cousin Kate, who with her magic
brush wrought such exquisite and
glowing little pictures.
Cousin Kate was mixing paints pre-
paratory to a hard mornings work.
The canvas stood already on the easel
in the best light the little room af-
forded. Cousin Kate looked the true
artist that she was in her plain dress
and long white apron. She was tall
young woman, with clear eyes, abun-
dant chestnut hair, and a firm sweet
mouth.
Daffy was unlike her as possible, be-
ing small and slight, with great dark
eyes, and cheeks as full of color as a
ripe cssr.nation.

happy; but 1 can't, and you know
how poorly l have always played and

it, any more than old Michael can
who cleans our yard. Then there's
writing. I'd like nothing better than
to be able to write fine things, but
there's no use wishing that, for I
never could compose even a passable
letter.
Cousin Kate looked at the droop-
ing, discouraged face before she an
swered. 1t was no wonder, for in
spite of her sadness Daily was such a
pretty, refreshing sight in her brown
suit and picturesque hat.
''Daffy," she asked suddenly, "where
did you get that hat, my dear?"
''This?" answered Daffy Indifferent
~. "Out of my head" she added. Il

know. Why?" she questioned a mo-

Cousin Kate looked at the hat
again.
''Why," she repeated, because it's
beautiful, dear. The very prettiest
hat I've seen this season, and you
made it. Yet here you are bemoaning
the hard fate that has bestowed upon
you no gift. My dear, it may be an
art to paint a picture, or write a
poem. am not so sure that it is not
as great one to send out upon this
gray old world a little being like
yourself who can put together coIors

Daffy laughed. ''How can -" she

With ApoIogies to the shnd.

A Washington newspaper CORE
spondent relates that with the COM
ing of spring the usual fever of that
season asserted itself, and he took
the opportunity of running into
Virginia for a fishing trip. Becom-
ing interested in a discussion of the
merits of the various fish in the Vir-
ginia streams, he turned at length to
the old negro boatman and said:
''Uncle, don't you think yellow
perch is altogether the best fish in
the river?"
Eyes, sah," replied the old man,

Hawaiian Legislators Pass One Bill
Time Wasted I'm WrangIing.

HONOLULU, March %. via San Fran
cisco. April 3.-The Legislature has now
completed half of its term of service and
only one bill has reached the Governor.
This bill appropriates money for the ex-
penses of the session. In both Senate and
House constant debates over small matters
have prevented the transaction of business,
the Senate especially having occupied near
ly all of its time in debates over rules and
q~uarrels over the rulings of the president.
The home rulers have many caucus meas
ures pending which are beginning TO be in
danger Of failing to pass for lack of time.
and they are preparing for night sessions to
force the transaction of business. Seventy
bills are before the House in various stages
and half as many are before the Senate.
DIR. N. Russell, president of the Senate,
to-day presented his resignation. His ac-
ton was due to a disagreement with other
MEMBERS OF the Home Rule party on the
~dispensary law. Or. Russell is the author
of the bill. which has been held in COM
mittee for some time. At a caucus last
night he threatened TO resign If the bill
was not reported to-day. and to-day he car
ried out his threat.

FOR THE SOUTH TO SOLVE.


MONTGOMERY, Ala, April BIN answer
to communication from students of the
Agricultural College of Michigan. Governor
Sanford, of Alabama. wrote as follows as
to federal control of elections:
In my judgment federal control of cleo
lions would not aid the negro in the exer-
else of his rights as a citizen. but. on the
contrary, would seriously retard his prog
ress. The negro problem is one that should
be left to the people of the South. with
whom the negro comes in daily contact In
the relations of life. The conditions are
such as cannot be properly understood by
those who are hundreds of miles away, and,
however sincere they may be in their mo-
tives. cannot possibly do justice TO the sit
uation. The white people of the South are
just with the negroes and treat them hu-
namely and considerably; agree with them
in the distribution of the school funds and
are liberal with them in all business trans
actions. The negro pays B per cent. of the
taxes of Alabama and receives AZ per cent.

THE POWER OF GRIT.
Gen. Funston's Achievement and Its
Lesson to Other Men.
m CITY a

Kansas City Star.
Although not an avowed candidate for
the honor il was rather expected by the
Funston, would be made a ~brigadier gen.
eral in the new regular establishment.
When the list was ~nnounced including
General Grant and General Wood, but not
Funston, il is reasonable TO believe that
the invincible Kansan felt some ~disappoint-
ment. But he had nothing to say. There
was nothing remarkable about IL, up TO
this point. because General Funston has
proved himself a soldier I'm the finest sense
OF the term. the soldier who scorns TO
complain, and il would have been surpris-
ing If he had shown any feeling.
But il is only human nature for men 10
sulk and draw into their SHELF when they
feel a lack of appreciation. In the express
sive parlance of the day, IL is usual and
natural that men become sore which is
a mental condition generally resulting in
a cessation of interest in the work at hand.
"An right. If they don't want me. the thing
can take care of ITSELF expresses the
feeling Of the disappointed man in war,
politics and private enterprises.
But not so with Funston. He did not
throw his sword into the corner, but vert
forth and performed one OF the most bril-
liant exploits on the shining annals OF two
wars. The example of Funston would give
fresh courage and hope to thousands Of
men who have been I'm the thick of the bat
tie of life, but, feeling themselves unappre-
ciated, have thrown down their swords and
quit. II they will grit their teeth like
Funston and plunge i'm again they will yet
win the star OF success.

man in Cuba who is worth a dollar wants
the United States to retain control of the
island. He says the crowd that compoSeS

GHOST OF THE CAGE.
Explanation of Otherwise U%nexpIfca-
bic Elevator Accidents.

Memphis Scimetar.
A Scimitar mar ran across a party of
Memphis men in the office of the Airing
ton, and they were talking about ele-
vator accidents. In the party was Engi-
neer Ed .Cheatham, Of the city engineers
corps, who said:
Every year there are hundreds of ele-
vator accidents. and very few of them
are from the breaking of cables or brakes.
The majority of the cases on record can
be traced to this one fact: The victim
stepped into the shaft. Now. why on earth
would a sane man do such a thing? Why.
he simply thought he saw the elevator
car In its accustomed place. and when
he stepped on what he thought was solid
floor he went to his death. The first of
these remarkable elevator accidents that
was ever noticed came to light in the min
ing regions of Colorado. Years ago I was
out in that section of the country engi-
neering for different companies. and. i'm

what 1 actually saw. The first accident
of this kind | ever heard of was in one
of the deep silver mines of Leadville, Col.
One of the oldest men in the employ
of the company, a man who had been fol-
lowing mining for half his life, and knew
this mine as we'll as he know the streets
OF Leadville, ran a car of ore over the
edge of the shaft on the third level. and
was dragged down TO the bottom with IL.
He was mortally injured. but before ne
died he told the doctor that he saw the
cage at the shaft.
.'Since that time there have been any
number of accidents of a like nature in
the mines out West. Sometimes the VIC

who survived always swore that they saw
