EVELYN Dear: OF all the things with
which a girl has to contend nowadays
and there are plenty of them, too-these
college fraternities are the most trying.
Really, Evelyn, / for one never could see
the consistency Of an organization Of a lot
of people who have nothing in the world
in common but some secrets and a pin
that is as devoid of beauty as IL is of
sense. That sort Of thing may be all we'll
enough while one is at college, but when
one is through with it and has gone into
society 1 think 1t is awfully inconsiderate
TO keep dragging in ones fraternity and
with IL a lot Of people that any girl knows
right well have no claims upon her, ex-
cepting that they belong to the same
frat" Its awfully aggravating not to
be invited to a house party OF a luncheon
or something else given by ones best
friend, Just because one doesn't happen
TO belong and then when one resents
being left out, as she has every right ia
do, to be looked at as though the cause
for offense was all on the other side and
be told that the affair was Gust for the
frat girls" And the men, Evelyn, are
even worse than the girls, and it's come
to such a pass that unless a girl wears
one Of those enamel or som other kind OF
ugly pin that doesn't mean anything ex-
cept to members, she is really looked upon
as incapable Of approaching half the larks
that people have nowadays. Nobody ever
thinks of asking her to go to a foot ball
game, and II she does get to go, she il
sure to be mortified to death by having
somebody undertake to explain the game
to her, just as though any girl didn't
know about foot ball. 1t really takes mos

Hermann, commissioner of the general

Der of letters from persons who were
successful in the land drawing in the
kioWa- Comanche country in Okla
homa, making inquiries as to the pros

occupancy of the land. In response to
these inquiries. Mr.. Hermann has adj
dressed a letter to the officials and to

which he says: The holder of claim
must, within six months after making
his entry, establish his residence by liv-
ing in a house upon his presumption
and must cultivate his lands continu-
ously for five years. as required by law,
before he can acquire title from the
government"
The time for making entries under
the drawing expired on October 4, and
homesteaders who drew tickets In the
lottery and have made their entries will
have to establish actual occupancy up
on the land six months from the date
of their entry. Most of the entries were

Washington. Feb. is. w. Plume
of New Orleans, testified before the
senate committee on inter-oceanic
canals concerning the feasibility OF
the Panama route for canal. Mr.
Plume is a contractor and railroad
man, and in the latter capacity spent
five years as roadmaster of the Pan
ANA railroad. He said the difficulty o.
eXcavating a canal in that region
would be very great because of the
character of the soil. The country, ac-
cording to his account. is full of small
springs, which KEEP the soil in such a
moist condition that 1t is quite i'm
possible to handle 1t, except in the
most tedious and expensive manner
He also spoke of the section as the
most unhealthy on the American con
tinent, saying that of SO men sent to
the isthmus as engineers. superintend-
ents, clerks, etc, all but three had died
within three months.

ASSIGNMENT FOR FUNSTON.
Congressman Scott Seeks to Prevent
His Return to Manila.


His Return to Manila.
Washington, Feb. 7.-Congressman
Scott. of Kansas. called at the white
house yesterday and had conference
with President Roosevelt concerning an
assignment for Gen. Frederick Funston,
who is now in a Kansas City hospital.
Mr.. Scott informed the president that
he knew Gen. Funston was DESTROYS of
securing an assignment to army serv-
ice instead of returning to Manila. The
generals health has not been good for
the last year, and he is tired of the
Philippine service, in which he has
played so prominent part. Mr.. Scott
stated that his request was made with
out Gen. Funstons knowledge.
Mr. Root secretary of war. was with
the president at the time of Mr.. SCOTS
call, and the three discussed the propo-
sition of new assignment for Cen.
Funston. President Roosevelt expressed
keen interest in Gen. Funston. and
expressed a desire to see him and talk
over the Philippine situation. Mr. Scott
stated that Gen. Funston expected to be
in Washington next week. but would
probably be delayed, on account of hav-
ing been compelled to undergo a second
operation for appendicitis. Mr.. Scott
and Gen Funston are both residents of
lola, Kas., and have been warm friends
for many years. The generals leave of
absence expires early in March. but
this will probably be extended. and Mr..
Scott is hopeful that it will not be nee
essary for him to return to Manila.

THE CREED CHANGED.
Doctrine Of tho Dannnation of infants
Revised by Presbytsrians.

Chicago, Feb. All elect infants
are saved" This section in chapter 10
on the salvation of infants, which has
caused storm of criticism to sweep
about the Presbyterian church for a
hundred years, is to be changed. 1t Is
to be so modernized that none can
assert the Presbyterian creed con-
tains an infant damnation" clause. A
brief and undeciperable report came
from Philadelphia last night that the
special committee on revision of the
Presbyterian creed would make i'm
portant changes in several sections of
the doctrine.
The report contained the following
paragraph: The committee has de-
cidede tentatively to revise the doc
trines of the third confession by de-
fclaratory statement; also chapter 10.
section 3, on the salvation of all In
fants; also chapter 16, section z. OIL
good works.
A first class student of theology at
Mccormick Theological Seminary in
Dictated last night the significance Oh
this declaration. He said the third
chapter of the confession would re-
main as 1t stood. but "declaratory
statement" would be made to make
clear what 1t means. Concerning the
salvation of infants" the creed reads
that all elect infants are saved, thus
carrying a sufficient hypothesis that
infants mot elect" are not saved, hence
damned.
It was explained by the tehologian
that this clause was to be so changed
that the charge infant damnation,"
could not be hurled at the Presbyter-
ian church.
1T has been said for a hundred
years that John Calvin taught infant
damnation." said the young clergy
man. but this is false. He did not
teach, nor does the Presbyterian
church teach, that It, But the revis-
ion committee wishes to make the
wording clear enough to indicate abb
solutely the church's attitude"
By the new clause all infants" will
be declared saved AS to the state
ment on good works" 1t was pointed
out the revision committee desires to
make 1t plain that no man can expect
to obtain salvation simply by good
works; that salvation must come as q
gift from God, and that mankind must
accept salvation. The declaratory
statement will assert this.
The Philadelphia report also referred
to contemplated revision of "oaths.
The text in this last clause Is to be re-
vised. 1t was asserted by the theolo-
gian at Mccormick Seminary that this
had reference to the oaths to be taken
by ministers on entering the clergy.
1t was a great surprise to him that
the committee would revise the text of
the ministerial oaths. He said there
had been much said on this subject
among the Presbyterian clergymen,
but nothing had been expected from
the committee. 1t was pointed out
further that altho the confession Of
faith was rewritten a hundred years
ago, many words 1t contained are now
obsolete. and its meaning is open to
Misrepresentation, an instance being
infant damnation." There are about
fifteen representative Presbyterian
on the revision committee,
and they report to the general assem-
bly, which meets in New York next
