EDUCATION
How TO Obtain ttt::Ths Easiest method
much Experimental EHdeavOr.-Ths
Result Of Experience, After all

Is not education, truly speaking,
a knowledge of the things that
God has placed before us? And
does it not include an ability to
compare and to note to some ad-
vantage all differences that abso'
lutely demonstrate available natur-
al characteristics and laws? Does
| it not involve, as aids, all the ab.
stract instrumentalities which may
be suggested by the mind in its
various endeavors to harmonic
with, or we should say become ac
quainted with, the ever arising
phenomena (2)
Designed by the Creator, we are
enabled to see, hear, feel,
taste and smell; and endowed with
these senses, are also prepared to
discover and to comprehend our
many relations with the various
things Of creation; and to investi-
gate the conditions of substances
as compared each with each, etc,
etc, and thereby, after cultivating
our Goo-given resources, reach q
degree Of proiency along the line
of science, therefore education is
really that product derived by
cultivating that which the Creator
has given.

W. J. Black, general passenger agent

over the Santa Fe with the delegates

not be broken up after reaching Cali

1t is believed that there win be about
ten of these special trains TO Los An
geles. They will all go out during the
last days of April The return trip will
not be until about May IS. From 1say
Is to May 30 the Santa F'e is expecting

The principal puzzle is diners. Each Of

it is figured that enough diners can be
secured to equip all the specials.

HAD TO KILL HIM.
Boy 10 Years Old COnfesses to
Murder of an Old Man.

Salt Lake. Utah. April 5.-Clyde Felt.
a boy barely Is. has confessed to the
police that it was he who cut the throat
OF Samuel Collins, the aged Waterman
of the Wasataka mineral spring, whose
body was found last Sunday in a small
cave in the hillside above Warm Springs.
The deed was done, the boy claims, only
after repeated urging by the old man.
Who told the boy that he intended to kill
himself anyway, as he was tired of liv-
ing After cutting Collins throat Felt
says he took the old mans clothes and
hid them under pile of boulders, wall
ed up the entrance to the cave as best
he could. wiped the blood off the razor
with his fingers then went down the
hill and washed his hands in the stream.
Collins he said, had given him a little
money for killing him
Young Felt first told the police that
Collins had committed suicide after ar
ranging with him to wall up the en-
trance to the cave so that his body
could not be found. In company with
two policemen, the boy went out among
the hills to locate Collins Valise which
he claimed he had carried up for the old
man the day of his death. After several
hours search Felt broke down
Il killed the old man." he said, but
could not help it. He made me do it.
We did not go up Ensign peak at all
and did not have any valise TO carry
The old man told me to tell that story
lf his body was found When we got uD
to the little cave he began UNDRESSING
[ asked him what he was doing that
Tor and he said he was going to commit
suicide. I said, oh. don't do that while
/ am up here Then he said I want
you to kin me. Here are some stakes
and some rope. You tie me down and
then cut my throat I did not like to
do it; but he begged so hard that 1 Just
couldn't stand it. He took the rope and
wrapped it around his legs and got me
TO tie his arms to his side. Then L took
the razor He kept on begging and
finally 1 just took the razor and gave
one slash across his throat and jumped
out Of the hole and ran. He had told
me to bury his clothes, so I went and
got the pile and carried them away down
the gully and buried them Then I went
back and the old man was dead I took
some rocks and built a wall in front of
the cave for about foot but I got
scared and didn't finish it so I came
back the next day and finished walling

TROUBLE AND EXPENSE
Result From System of Weights and
Measures in Philippines.


Washington, April 5.-The division of
insular affairs of the war department
has prepared a statement giving an ac-
count Of the weights and measures in
use in the Philippines The extension Of
commercial Intercourse between the
United States and the island, the state
ment says is attended with great iE-
convenience, and expense growing out
of the complicated system of weights
and measures in vogue in the archipela-
go As compared with the United States
denominations and values they are diff
hcult to acquire and still more so to e&-
ecute in transactions or accounts. So
far as recorded history goes, China has
ruled the CON mercial transactions OF
the Oriental world. That empire gave
its measure of value, it is unknown how
long, but for nearly four centuries since
the islands have been ruled from the
west and the same to the other archi-
pelago and to the south and to india.
The HaikWau, or custom house tael is
the standard weight and value recog-
nized in the custom houses of the 13
treaty ports leach Of which has also its
own taeD in all transactions and is also
used among the Chinese and other east
ern traders and merchants in their
commercial dealings in the Philippines.
The statement gives in detail the var
iOus measures used in the islands and
concludes by noting the fact that in the
pending legislation in congress the me
trio systems is proposed as the standard
for transactions of commerce and &C
count
