Unheard of Before.

Missouri Valley, Iowa, has by
one act assumed position at the
fore front in the matter Of educa.
ton. 1t can be said with safety
that more is offered there to a
college graduate than in any
other town in the country.
A banquet is no uncommon
thing. They are rendered to
football teams, successful candi-
dates for political Office, BRIDE
grooms about to enter the nuptial
state and others who have at
tanned great distinction, and there
is not much said about them. But
to college students? No. Not
very often. 1t has been our ex-
periencs that if good square
meal, let alone banquet, is ten
dered to college student he had
better consider himself lucky.
However Missouri Valley, la,
the town made famous because of
the residence of Geo w Egap,
rose up during the last vacation
and gave banquet to the college
students of the town. The idea
originally came from prominent
merchant and it was carried out
with zeal.
Students will probably be a
drug on the market in Missouri

nifcant fact that several students
residing in places such as Cedar

During the period of Mr.. Moore's in
cumbency of the managing i,ditorship oi
the Detroit Times" Mr.. A. Maurice
Low, also now of this city. was a promi-
nent member of his staff. Mr.. Low was
noted then, as now. as a great news
hustler, excellent descriptive writer, and
producer of copper-plate manuscript.
Mr.. Low is native of London, but has
for sixteen years been the lead of the
Washington bureau of the Boston
Globe He succeeded the cherubic-
faced James Morgan in that capacity.
Col0Hel Morgan, who is very we'll re-
membered here, has long held position
very near the throne in the Globe
home office. He has always been high in
the favor of Colonel Charles H. Taylor,
the proprietor of the paper, and has
fully merited the trust reposed in him.
So far as can be learned here he occu-
pies one of those peculiar and nameless
positions in newspaper offices where
fellow is the real thing, and yet isn't
called it.
But barking back TO Mr.. Low. In ad-
dition to his important work for the
Boston Globe" he represents the Lon
don Chronicle" and has done that great

war. He is also magazine writer OF
note, and a few months ago issued from
the press of Harper's well-executed
novel, called 1.-The Supreme Surrender, "

litical and social life.
The writer hereof saw the late Con-
gressman Reese c. De Graffenreid on
the day of his death and enjoyed a con-
versation with the genial and brilliant
gentleman. Singularly enough, the sub
ject of the conversation was, to some

source of delight to the young girls
who make the trip unchaperoned in the

turn on the first evening boat.
OF course. the dinner is no small af-

provided with lunches.

High up on the hurricane deck those

the lower decks are generally covered
with the prosaic. unencumbered, or the
unfortunates who have missed admission

less of hurry and traffic than is custom
