pay their living expenses, and hereto
fore no provision has been made to
take care of them when forced by
sickness or age to resign their charges

Pen-Mar will be held this year on
July 18th This years gathering

Sweet Girl Graduate.

These are the days that the sweet
girl graduate employs in showering
knowledge upon the Ignorant and
spreading information regarding "The
Future of Humanity" and "Esthetic
Philosophy" and "The Aim of Exist
ence" to the four winds. Attired in
a neat gown of white, with roses in
her hair and wad of manuscript in
her hand, the sweet girl graduate tells
US all about it, and then an old gen.
tleman with long white beard hands
her her diploma; she puts her books
away and goes home, and the great,
Ignorant, uncaring world swallows her,
and in a good many cases that is the
last we hear of her. But for one or
two brief moments she is the center Of
the stage, and this is about as long as
anyone-man or woman-ever holds
that commanding position.
In the old days the main duty Of the
city college and polytechnic boys at
commencement time was the task Of
going down en- masse to hire dress
suits. The high school girls, by the
same token, spent at least one full
pre-graduation week in conferring
with their dressmakers regarding the
cut and material of their commence
ment gowns.
Now the college boys have abandoned
dress suits for the ordinary habiliments
of civilization, but the high school
girls still wear white and their dress
makers are still busy. Incidentally,
it may be mentioned that the grad
yates are as attractive as ever, and
that the demand for tickets to their
commandments is still the bane of the
average man.

A Pleasant Surprise.

Despite the rainy night, a merry
crowd of young people gathered at the
home of Mr.. Daniel H. Moler last Fri
day night as surprise party and spent
one of the most enjoyable evenings OF

fun and other amusements until eleven
o'clock when they proceeded to the dim

.pared delicious refreshments 10 which
they did ample justice. The gay young

they left with many regrets that the
night had been so quickly spent, but
hoping to soon have an occasion to
spend another like il at this pleasant
home. n.

There has been a vast amount of
discussion in Congress about the abuses
under our army in the Philippines.
Stripped of all abuses, the war is
wretched folly. Necessary war is a
calamity, and war which is not strictly
necessary ought to be avoided. A
small part of the money wasted in
the Philippine Islands would have
produced much better results with
very small part of the suffering en-
dured by our people or theirs. Cen.
tiers of friendly influence could have
been occupied and amply protected,
and educational and reformatory eff
forts would soon have demonstrated
the advantage Of our presence and
have given our governmental welcome
it has sought in vain by the sword.
The conquest by such peace policy
would have been honorable and benef-
icent, and when it was done at COM
paratively small cost the natives would
have been loyal and prosperous. By
the folly of an aggressive war we are
great sufferers ourselves, and when we
have once achieved victory there will
be for us a ruined country with impov-
erished native scherishing resentments
which will survive in their children
for generations to come unless we give
them more generous and humane
treatment than we have been doing in
the effort to conquer the islands. To
bring about such result we place our
nation in false position before the
world. A liberty-loviDg people ought
to love to give liberty as well as to
enjoy it. AS we doubt the Christian
ity of the man who does not want to
send the Gospel to others. so we arein-
clined to doubt the liberty-loving cit.
izen who wants all liberty for himself.

slant reader of the Dayton VolkSzeitung.
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best In its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying bottle Of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks mad suG-
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, L feel as

the entire contents of the bottle the I'M
bearable pains had entirely vanished
and she could again take up her house
hold duties" He is very thankful and
