Popular opinion is uncertain and var

Officers Of the law favor the curfew

Mischief Is but the natural result of

state offenders under sixteen years OF
age can be punished only by incar-
ceration in the reform school. Such q
course Is impracticable except for sea
soned criminals as they are taken from

posed to be kept.
City Attorney Webster. years ago

they have done so.

college GRADUATE
and Bis future

Does a college graduate really and
truly enjoy commencement week?
Ask the question of class OF
learned seniors and the majority VIII
tell you no. And the negative will be
emphatic and pointed in many in
stances. The process of graduating Is
fraught with fatigue, worry and, In
some cases, despair.
The graduate has just emerged VIC
torious from a long mental tussie'
While there is a feeling of buoyancy
and elation, there is also present ap-
prehension concerning the future the
time has come for active work, ana no
matter how eagerly the release from
college and student toll may be well
coined. there is feeling that there Is
a stretch of unknown experience loom
ing up ahead.
Friends pour in from home. They
must be entertained. In addition there
are peculiar claims made by class
mates and student organizations. All
this wearies and exhausts-
For instance there is the class pay
bunctuated with effort, energy ana
nervous force Toasts must be pre-
nared. There are people to meet and
banquets to attend.
Orators come and go. Eloquence ap-
pears at every corner. Some Seniors
well fixed financially, or provided with
a comfortable job, listen in content to
the educated mans duty to the
state" and the claim the world mas
upon one whose mental machinery mas
been carefully balanced and adjusted
in an elaborate workshop SO Important
as the college or university.
But fellows with indefinite futures
are inclined to chafe and fret All
during their college years they nave
expected to encounter a fiattering oner
from somewhere on commencement
morning or have listened to the siren
song of independence and sure income
attached to the senior end OF the col
lege course They do not feel Joyiui
when they discover that to get a posi-
tim some one must be displaced or a
beginning must be made at the very
foot of the ladder under men of mar
row mental horizon and contracted
views. To do either skaters severaI
fond ideals of the commercial world,
carefully fostered in the secluslon oil
class rooms and library alcoves.
OF course many students, especially
in Lincoln, have hustled" during their
college course for a living and anticl-
pate the future. For them commence
ment is something to be alternately ell
dured and enjoyed.
Sage advice abounds on all hands,
but for four years the graduate mas
been STEPPED in counsel, fortified with
the suggestions of others.
Another factor also contributes TO
the gloom of a commencement. Solid
friendships have been formed during
the four years of study. These affee-
lions have been eulogiZed and heralded
about SO much that the student rarely
2 gives much thought to the matter IN
till the organization has been disbanded
by separation after the graduating ex-
ercises. Rarely ever does one-fifth OF
the class meet again at one time and
place.
From a select company the student
plunges into the ranks of the indis-
criminate populace. The process is
one not fraught with deep enjoyment
Indeed, if the graduates honestly and
truly confessed, the occasion would be

position of the United States was SET
forth.
While we are not permitted under our
form Of government to form alliances OF
this kind with foreign powers, We are
permitted to announce our declaration
of principles on questions as they arise
If other powers see the wisdom of adopt
ing our suggestions and carry out the
European custom of forming alliances OF
| offense and defense. that is not our af-
fair. In the present instance fears have
been entertained that certain powers
were looking with lustful eyes upon GER
tain territory in the far East. Such a
taking over Of territory might be injuri-
GUS to American interests, commercial
and otherwise. At an opportune moment
our government took firm stand In be-
half Of American interests without yio-
lating any of the fixed principles Of diplo-
matte intercourse, and at the same time
maintaining a dignified neutrality.
The attitude assumed by the United
States was right and proper, as subse-
quent events demonstrated, and now, as
a further vindication of our contention

CHAPTER XVIII

The wild scene that meets her sight
strikes terror to her heart. The mad
roaring of the waves that. mountains
high, rush impetuOusly inland to dash
themselves to pieces against the granite
rocks the cries Of the women; the hoarse
calls of the men; the flaming. restless
torches that ding a weird light upon the
picture; all serve to unnerve her.
And now a shout from the beach! A
dark object being dragged forward, a
valiant cheer, perhaps meant to reach
those miserable souls lowering on deaths
brink, and so give courage to their failing
hearts; il Is the life-boat. and now
A tall figure has suddenly become
prominent; he seems to tower above all
those around him. He Is evidently ad-
dressing them with passionate words, and
now he springs into the boat. and with
renewed eloQuence seems to compel those
present to follow him. His voice, in Its
vehemence. rises even above the storm.
Not that the stricken girl crouching with
in the shelter Of her rock needs that tes'
timony to know that Il Is he whom her
soul loveth.
Vera staggers to her feet and stares
blindly into the semi-darkness. A hearty
cry goes up from those crowded together
on the beach. The mists have cleared
away from the moon. and she can see
as well as those eager watchers that the
Eve black spots that were upon the rig
ging are no longer there.

La the Lion Intelligent? ?

After prolonged experiment, NJ.
Hachet-Souplet has reached the con-
clusion that there can be no doubt that
the lion Is the possessor of reasoning
faculties. OF course this conclusion
is based on observation. not on hypo-
thesis. Among the experiments was
one which took place at the Museum OF
Natural History, within stone-throw
of the statue Of Chevreul, the scientist
centenarian. A lion was presented un-
aware with q closed box containing an
appetizing piece Of meat. The point
to determine was whether the animal
would be smart enough to discover the
secret. open the box and secure the
coveted morsei through means OF his
own. The king of animals did not dis
appoint the scientist who had faith In
his judgment After hesitating little,
the lion raised the lid of the box with
his nose, and although he went at II at

without cause. Fatigue and a rundown
condition of the system causes more Sc
we're colds than all the blasts from Medi-
cine Hat. If man has pure blood,
steady nerves and a good digestion, low
temperature or a slight draught doesn't
often affect him unfavorably.
The cause of the sensations of cold Is
more often internal than external, and
those who go shivering about under or
dinary circumstances can't remedy mat
ters much by putting on an extra supply
of heavy clothing. Warm clothing will,
of course, help to offset low tempera-
ture, but it will not make you warm if
there's some internal reason for the chill
liness. Most people wear too much heavy
and improper clothing in winter. Many
swathe their throats when it's warm
stockings they need. Clothing should be
warm, but not extremely heavy, and the
practically air-tight suitings often worn
are an abomination. Under these the
skin is unable TO breathe, and when the
skin is out of breath the owner of the
skin will be cold If he's clad in furs a
foot thick.
A man who seems perfectly well, but
who shivers on slight exposure to cold
has something wrong with his circulation,
or his blood is impoverished by imperfect
digestion. Take care of the body and
encourage circulation; eat plain, whole

breathe pure air, take plenty Of exercise,
indulge in frequent bathing and ventila-

clothes as you would the smallpox.
While severe draughts are always to
be avoided, foul air is worse than
draughts; indeed, il one is in prime con-
dition ordinary draughts are little to be
feared, while lack of ventilation Is al.

The Trade of Palestine,

The account of the trade Of Palestine
during the year 1900, given in the cou-
sular report recently issued, is fairly
hopeful, though neither the exports
nor the imports reach the level at
tained In 1889. The prosperity of the
country depends still, as 1t always has
done, and most probably always will
do, upon the fruits of the earth. Cen
turtles before the present era, corn and
wine and oil were among the chief
boons of the promised land" and
though we hear little now Of the first,
the other two are regalnlng their an
cient reputation. To melons, which
also were valued In ancient days, a
new fruit has been added-the orange.
This, indeed, and the grape, are now
! the most important products Of Pales-
tine, though the exports Of the former
have declined considerably In value
