he had a. look forward of three years to
his triennial. Il am persuaded that
every college should have chair for
the propagation of honesty in the sale of
old furniture, and have a Prof Gates to
fill it.
Didn't you know Gates? Why, he was
as much a part of the college as the
president himself. l don't know but that
he was more important part; certainly
my last interview with him impressed me
more than anything the president said
in his baccalaureate address.
Gates was short on flesh, but long in
the hearts of the boys. He bought their
old furniture. tgHe didn't have much to
do except to sweep up little now ana

stray freshmen. He was a bear on fur

of public sentiment, and his course was
largely governed by what he believed the

mics concede to him craftsmanship of
the highest order combined with rare

1t IS finished The hand of the assas-

mourns its chief. One week ago the
American people stood with anxious faces
waidng-waiting for words of hope from
tha bedside of the stricken president
They came, those words Of hope, mea-
ger at first, but growing stronger with
the process of the suns. until despair and
DOUBT gave place to confidence. Joy sat
in every heart. and with tears of graft
tude the nation thanked God for HIS
Astounding mercy.

and loving care, together with the suffer

his chosen field, and that time alone
stood between weakness and the strength

The storm had passed; the thunders
rumbled but family in the distance.
From the clearing sky, already studded
with stars, came the lightning bolt.
Death had returned to seek his own.

cuse fer his most dastardly deed He
struck not in revenge, reither for his
country's wrongs. Coldly. and with a
Judas smile he grasped the outstretched
hand of him whose life he was about
to take. In its sickening horror, this
