Five hundred cards were issued to
Mrs Roosevelt's last reception on
Monday afternoon, which of course did
not take place as Mrs. Roosevelt was
called to Groton.
In view of the visit of the prince and
the festivities in his honor in which
Miss Roosevelt will participate, the CO.

birthday was abandoned before the i'll

The gift of her father to Miss Roose-

their annual visits to the capital but

has occurred in their congresses the
organizations less patronized by Wash

the part of the Daughters to have fol-

In the Hawk-Eye state there is
colony known far and near as the Ger
man colony. They live in the most
simple and primitive manner, as be-
comes children of nature, for such
they truly are. Their tastes have not
been corrupted by contact with the
outer, every day working and laugh
ing and crying world. They live alb.
solutely unto themselves and do not
care whether school keeps or not.
Their leaders are fairly intelligent
men; but the common herd, the plebe-
ians, will never be shot for knowing
too much. Indeed, they have no need
to know anything above eating when
they are hungry. and there is plenty
provided to eat; and coming in out of
the wet when it rains, and for that
roofs are provided by the overseers.
Their mode of living has not chang.
ed in half century and shows no
signs of changing in the next half
century. They know but little of the
outside world, and care less. They
are happy, according to their own
lights, but it would not be much en-
joyment to one who has lived as the
world lives.
These people settled first in New
York state, in the early fifties, width.
err they had been driven by religious
prosecutions in Germany. But they
were not only firm believers in relig
ious liberty, but also in good soil for
farming land, hence they pulled ur
stakes and came west, where they
bought $4,000 acres of land in Iowa
county, about twenty miles west OF
Iowa City, on the Iowa river. The
first town is called Amana, which
means remain true" 1t is absolutely
communistic, that is, they all live as
one big family. Nobody has any mon
ey and nobody gets anything for his
work. Everything they earn goes into
the general fund, and if a boy wants
dollar to go to a Fourth of July cele
bration or to the circus, or If he wants
: to take his girl to the theatre, he has
to ask the treasurer for the price. Anc

A notable marriage on Shrove Tues
day was that of Miss Florence Serpell
Deakins and George F. Becker, of the

Another wedding of interest was
that OF Miss Helen Kitchener. former

son OF Murat Halstead. on Monday.

Some Suggestions to the Students.

Some Suggestions to the Students.
In your year of political work and
study you have come in contact with
all sorts CT men. You have formed
friendships and created enmities. Cher
ish such friendships and forget all en-
mites. You cannot live long enough
to get even with all those who have in
jured you politically
On the other hand, never trust a
man in politics who has once wilfully
deceived you.
Never attempt to placate an enemy
at the expense of friend.
Always respect honest opposition.
and remember that he who is in oppo-
sition to you this year may be with
you next year.
A political platform should contain
not the opinions of each member of the
convention, but consensus of the
opinions of the entire body.
Any political theory carried out to
its logical conclusion may, under Ger.
tain circumstances, become ridicu
lous.
The majority will generally do right
if it is fully educated on the issues be.

In candidate common sense is
more to be desired than genius.

The following telegram from the national capital appeared in the newspapers last Saturday:
 Washington, May 16.-General 0. l.. Spaulding is to be the first of the assistant secretaries of the treasury to retire under Secretary Shaw's administration. General Spaulding is the official who so consistently fought the methods of Wilbur F. Wakeman as appraiser of merchandise at the port of New York. He decided to stand or fall with Collector Bidwell, and he would have fallen long ago but for the difficulty President Roosevelt and Secretary Shaw have had in getting the right sort of man for the place.
