The tower Is ITO feet high and so
feet in diameter. It Is cylindrical in
form. The summit is reached by $50
steps, Some people have an idea that
the tower was built out Of the perpen-
dicular. but this Is not the fact. The
fault was manifest before the tower
was completed, and extra braces were
put in place to guard against disaster.
The upper part Of the tower was built
Of imitation stone to tighten the
weight, and finally the seven bells
were placed in the top of the tower in
such way as to counteract by their
gravity the leaning Of the tower. The
largest of these bells weighs 10000
pounds The tower Is divided into

been President since 1876 and now
that he has passed the 10th milestone
of his life he is willing to retire from
the cares of Office.
His most probable successor is Gen.
Bernardo Reyes, Secretary Of War In
almost every respect Reyes is a Sec
ond Diaz. He is a self-made man. He
has shown himself to be dauntless in
battle. He never forgiyes an enemy
and never goes back on friend. Reyes
is strongly opposed to gambling in any
form, or drinking. So Is Diaz. Between
them they have succeeded in checking,
to a large extent, the gambling and
drinking in the Mexican army.

"There are many things for some OF
us to do, and there are some for many
of us to do But there Is one thing for
every one Of us to do, and that is to
Cheer! Cheer! Cheerw So writes
the young president Of Adrian College
And he voices a great truth. All OF
us cannot do great or brave things.
But we can all cheer. When a strong
man with sincere purpose stands up In
the political arena and fights for the
peoples rights we can all cheer. When
any man In whatsoever station does
his duty we can cheer. When any wom~
an holds loyal purpose and Is true to
it we can cheer. And do you know
that in battle hearty cheer Is half the
and shell decimate the ranks. 1t Is the
critical moment Then the leader
shouts, "Cheer! Cheer! Cheer" Nor
al courage and the wild thrill Of en-
thusiasm take the place Of the stub
born but failing physical bravery and
the redoubt is won. Many a brave
soul fails in the battle Of life for the
want Of a cheer. Some men feel In
stinctively the need Of cheering and
deliberately seek to extort it from their
fellow men. They compel the world to
cheer. Others, fully as brave, wait for
it, long for it and die without it. Cheer!
Cheer! Cheer! 1t costs little effort.
It Is the natural impulse Of the heart
when the heart Is rid of selfshness and
jealousies and envylngs. You may not
be able to win a single victory In life
for yourself, but you can win a hun
dred victories by proxy If you will
cheer, when you have an opportunity,
hundred stirring souls. Blessings
on the head Of him who heartily cheers
another on his way. When he gets to
the portals Of heaven and st. Peter
asks what he has done he need not
hang his head when he says: II

Prince Victor Duleep Singh has gone
into bankruptcy, ascribing his difficult

who must bow to the dictates Of the
