SCENES
Of Their College
Days
Visited by Western Re.
serve Graduates.
The 100000 Endow.
ment Fund
For Western Reserve Academy
Nearly All Subscribed.

Memories of pleasant days Of the
past were brought vividly TO mind
Wednesday morning when 105 grad.
uates Of Western Reserve College,
when ii was located in Hudson, made
a pilgrimage to that place to visit
again the scenes of their student days.
They went by special train for the
purpose of spending few hours in the
little college town where they had
learned so much in the early days
which counted for their success later
on. When 1t Is taekn into considcra'
ton that the last class was graduated
from Hudson in 1882. it will readily
be seen that the men ana women who
made the pilgrimage have in most IN
stances passed The meridian of life.
In the party were II number of men
prominent In their special lines of
work, among them Rev. Josiah Strong,
of New York. the noted and gifted au.
thor and preacher; Rev. DR.. j. +. Jones,
missionary to India; Bishop-elect Tay,
lor of the Episcopal diocese of Quincy.
ILL.,; Rev. w. ID. SaXton, New York
and Judge S. Il. Williamson, the gen.
eral counsel of the Lake Shore rail
road.
AS soon as Hudson was reached there
was a hnrrying to the cd college cam
pus. where every blade of grass was
recognized and every tree counted and
recounted. Some of the younger men
climbed up the tall trees to find their
initials covered with a twenty years
growth of bark or moss. The old class
rooms were searched high and low and
a number of prominent men engaged
in IA good-natured rivalry as to the
place the others sat In the recitation
room Some of the men found and
recognized the handiwork of their
jackknives on the benches, even though
this was college. Others called n,
the town homes in some Instances to
find their old schoolmates and to per,
haps take a glance at the woman who
was sweet and demule more than q
years ago,and who especially liked him
They found both in some instances
and there were n number of gladsom,
experiences and reunions.
At noon the old church bell In tn,
Congregational church called the for
mer students to lunch, where an old
fashioned dinner had been prepared
by the ladies of Hudson. After dinner
Hon. w. |. Chamberlain, of Hudson
explained that the HUDSON Academ,
has already secured $4,000 out of tn,
100000 required for an endowment
fund. Professor George T. Ladd, o.
Yale; Il. +. Williams, Judge :. Il. vii
hanson. and Rev. j. ID. Williamson
of Cleveland, made addresses. They
were all in n reminiscent mood anC
many clever stories were told.
Among the graduates present were
Messrs. NJ. c. Read. H. B. Foster, w
l.. Chamberlain, j. Il. Case, Henry Il
Lee. and Chas. p. Read, all of Hudson
and Judge Il. w. Stuart. w. c. Par

The Ashland Press is not the only
country weekly that stands aghast
when viewing the Increasing use of
money in politics, but 1t goes step
farther than most of its contemporar.
les nnd suggests a remedy for the evil.
"The use Of money in politics Is not
only very dishonest and degrading"
says the Press. "but it is contrary to
the letter as well as the spirit OF the
law. The trouble is the law Is not
severe enough, and what penalties 1t
does impose are not enforced. Every
man who pays or receives n dollar or
more for his vote as elcctor or delegate

Under the Daisies.

I've Just been learing the lesson of life,
The sad. sad lesson of loving;
And all OF ns powers for pleasure or pain
Been slowly and sadly proving;
And all that's left Of the bright. bright
dream.
With its thousand brilliant phases
Is a handful Of dust. in a coffin hid
A coffin under the daisies.
The beautiful. beautiful daisies,
The snowy. snowy daisies.
And thus forever throughout this wide
world,
Is love a sorrow proving.
There are still many sorrowful things in life.
But the saddest Of all Is loving;
The life of some Is worse than death,
For Fate a high wall oft raises,
And far better than life with two hearts
estranged
Is a low grave starred with daisies.
The beautiful, beautiful daisies,
The snowy. snowy daisies.
And 50 It's better We lived as We did.
The summer OF love together.
And that one Of US tired and lay down to
rest
Ere the coming OF wintry weather:
For the saddest Of love is love grown cold.
And it's one of its surest phases,
So bless my lot. tho with breaking heart,
For that grave enstarred with daisies.
The beautiful. beautiful daisies.
The snowy, snowy daisies.

They grew in beauty side by side.
They filed one home with glee;
Their graves are revered far and wide.
BY mount and stream and sea.
The same fond mother bent at night
Ger each fair sleeping brow;
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now7
One midst the forest Of the West.
BY "a dark stream is laid;
The Indians know his place Of rest
Far in the cedar's shade.
Tho sea. the blue lone sea, hath one,
He lies where pearls lie deep;
He was the loved Of all. yet none
Ger his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where Southern vines are
dressed
Above the noble slain:
He wrapped his colors around his breast.
On a blood-red field of Spain.
And one. Ger her the myrtle showers

She faded midst Italian flowers
The last OF that bright band.
So parted thus rest they who played
Beneath the same green tree:
