Swarthmore College, Swarthmore,
Penna.

This institution was. founded by the
Society of Friends, and has always
been conducted with view to promot-
ing the principles for which that re-
ligious body stands. Its work, how
ever, IS by no means sectalian but IS
intended to promote. in the highest de-
gree, that sense of individual RESPONSE
bility which makes for true manhood
or womanhood. Having no desire to
make it anything but Small Col
lege." its management has been able
to maintain that intimacy of contact
between professor and student which
is rarely possible in a great university
and which is probably the greatest
force in any institution tending to the
development of character. The situa-
ton of the college helps in the same
direction. Beautifully located. sur
rounded by two hundred acres of lawn
and grove, it overlooks a superb stretch
of country extending away to the Della
ware. While clustered about the camp
us is the village, occupied largely by
families connected in one way or an
other with the interests of the college,
and by the elevation of it's moral tone
presenting strong contrast to the
communities in which some less IA
vOred institutions are placed. Still an
other assistance in the maintenance of
healthy college life is the natural
grouping OF young men and women,
under the same roof, maintaining as
nearly as possible the conditions which
obtain in a cultivated home, and free
from the unnatural elements, which so
frequently make college life destruc-
tive of the finer traits of character.
Each of the four courses of study Of
fered by the college provides liberal
range of electives, and whether one
enters classics, letters, science or en-
gineering, he cannot receive the
Swarthmore diploma without having
achieved liberal education. Then
there Is intelligent physical training.
The college has not only maintained
an excellent record in competitive ath-
letics. but has given careful study to
the problem of building up, in the best
possible manner, the bodily vigor OF
each individual student This mas
given Swarthmore Il remarkable health
record, and, what is still better, has in
frequent instances rescued from dam
ger young men and women about
whose future health and strength there
was just cause for concern. There
may be better places for young people
through" college. Swarthmore is for
earnest people, with the serious pur-
pose to make the most of life. ~

-Redfield NJ. Roach of Boston, the
""Spotless Town" bard Of sapolio fame,
died a few days ago at Montreal.
Roach was a trolley car conductor at
Providence, when he suggested one
day to a merchant, happening to ride
on his car, that advertisements in
rhyme could be made more valuable
than they ever had been. He submit
ted samples, which at once took the
public fancy, and in a comparatively
short time his verses brought him a
competency. Roach was a graduate of
Trinity College, Dublin, where he won
medals and prizes for original Greek
verse. He practiced law in England,
but gave it up, came to this country
and began democratically on a street
car.

why He Didn't shoot.

On his last visit to Philadelphia
Col. Henry Watterson told a story that
did not get into print says the Phila-
delphia Times. 1t was about a much
battered old lawyer who went up into
the mountain region to collect claim.
He was lame and half blind and one
armed. A local celebrity in the case
was the districts dead shot, who had
killed many men and who was ready
to shoot anything or anybody. He
came in daily to see the lawyer about
a case in which he was interested I'M
til his visits became extremely tire
some.
Finally the lawyer exclaimed: "Get
out of here and stay out of here. Get
out right away. I'm sick of seeing
you. Don't stand there. Go on out,
L tell YOU
The desperate looked at the wreck
of a man in incredible dismay, and
before he knew what he was doing he
was backing out of the room When
he reached the street he burst into
tears. The inhabitants crowded around
and asked him what was the matter.
"He druv me out" he walled. "Druv
me right out Of the room. Said he's

why didn't you shoot him?" asked
the crowd.

The Mig Chiefs Lament.

From the Baltimore American.
Then arose the Indian Chieftain,
Man Who Straightened- up-His- Bow
legs,
And remarked in tones of sorrow:
1--WE are up against the white man.
We are up against him, surely;
And we may not bounce back from
him,
For he has us by the scalplock,
Also by the neck, my hearers.
Weep, We striped and spotted Indians;
Weep, We squaws bedaubed with ocher;
For the white man has commanded
That we start to civilizing;
And we may not paint our faces;
Nor permit our hair to wander
Down our backs as in the old days:
Nor may we put on the blanket,
Which is fine with red and yellow:
But all through the coming future
Through the future that is coming,
Through the soon-to-be-here future
We must garb us as the white man,
And must lead the white existence.
Listen to me now, my children,
For I've been among the white men-
Been beside the mighty paleface,
Been within his noble teepee,
Been where l could get next to him
And I'll tell you what is coming,
What we've got to set our minds to:
We must wear the funny garments
That the white man has affected.
Aye! The bobtailed coat We'll put on
And the trousers rolled at bottom;
And the hat with brim so curly;
And the socks so fire-alarmish:
And the shirts fresh from the boiling.
And the only decoration
That may be put on our faces
Is the style the merry white man
III. H.. IA, 90 he ia
And our squaws must wear the
straight-front,
Like the paleface sisters wear it;
And the pull-back, and the golf skirt
And the bonnet made in Paris,
Which is worth a thousand ponies.
But the squaws may not use powder,
Nor the rougeing for their faces.
Lest they wish to be mistaken
For the ladies of the ballet
Or the ones of the four hundred.
And we'll have to live in houses
Where they have the modern plumb
ing,
And the pipes are always freezing,
And the cooks are ever bossing.
Wow Besides all this. the white man
Says Wen have to cut our hair on.
Think OF that, my rudy children
Think of going round ballheaded,
And applying hair restorer
Like the too-confiding white man
Have the blllard-ball resembling
Cranial top-piece of the palefacei
Oh, my copper-tinted offspring,
This is too much for the old man,
For / see II coming to us,
And / see the day approaching
When they'll find the bold bacillus
And the germ and frisky microbe
In the dog soup we are eating,
And will Nry to disinfect US,
Try 10 make US sanitary.
Lei the white man hug his trouble
Let the white man keep his worries:
As for me, l pass the deal up.
And ! take me TO the warDath!"
Thus remarked the Indian Chieftain.

How He Relieved Them.

"You ask him." said one of the men
in a hoarse whisper.
"Wait minute" said the other,
maybe he'll guess It,"
Come, come, gentlemen, my time is
valuable" interrupted Mr.. Levy.
1--WE are twin brothers." chorused the
two, and we thought you'd have
guessed it,
Mr.. Levy looked anxiously at the
door, at the same time glancing fur
lively at the two men, and continued
in faint voice: "Is that alp"
mo" continued one of the strange
pair I'VE wish to ask you a question.
Our father died short time ago. We
were his only children. He left a paper
in which he said that his oldest son
was to have all his property, but
neither of us is the Oldest, so what
are we going to do?"
How much did your father leave?'
asked Mr.. Levy.
"seven dollars" chorused the two
men.
"Divide it," answered the lawyer.
"But what is your fee for this ad-
vice?" asked one of the men.
'Seven dollars replied Mr.. Levy.
The two men produced the fee and
paid it over, saying at the same time
that Mr.. Levy mad relieved them of a
great mental burden. They then left
the Office beaming.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record (Dem)
says: "A new criminal code is about
to be adopted by the Russian govern
ment. The code has been in process Of
formulation for fifteen years and has
been pronounced by expert German
and French jurists to be the most ad-
vanced and perfectly drawn law OF its
kind. The beneficence of a law, how
ever, does not consist in it's external
form, but in the spirit wherein il is
administered. The worst governed peo-
Piles in the world, those OF Turkey and
China, have some most beautiful laws
on their books"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says; while the Anglophobia existing
in Germany is entirely natural and
readily understood. 1t is much to be re-
GREETED by the whole world that the
ILL timed visit of the Prince OF Wales
has served to emphasize the hostile
feeling. and to make its existence more
prominent than II has yet been. A
clash between Germany and Great
Britain would be a great setback to
the march of civilization, and there
fore, to be greatly deprecated by the
entire civilized world"

A GORMAN ADMIRER.

Senator-elect German of Maryland
has a strong supporter for the Dem
ocratic nomination for President in
Capt. Evan p. Howell of this state.
In an interview in Atlanta the other
day Capt. Howell said that he re-
garded Mr.. German as the ablest
leader the Democrats have. and by all
means the most available man for
the nomination for President.
There is no doubt that many Demo-
Gratis in all parts of the country have
thought of Mr.. German in connection
with the presidential nomination Of
their party since his election to the
Senate. 1t is well known that he was
a wise and shrewd leader when he was
in the Senate some years ago. and 1t
is certain that when he was at the
head of the National Committee his
management of the party was very
strongly commended. No one ques-
toned his ability.
Mr.. German, however, is not the
only man who is thought to be good
presidential timber. Hon. Henry Wat
terson has following that will be heard
from when the times comes for presi-
Dental aspirants to show their hands.
He has been a leader for many years
and one that has been as-a rule on the
right side of public questions.
Now that Mr.. Croker is out of the
way, and is likely to stay out, Hon.

much his own way in New York. That
state is power in the councils of the
party. 1t would not be surprising If
the conference of Democrats that is
to be held at the Manhattan Club on
Feb. %, has something to do with
shaping the party's policy preparatory
to the beginning of the presidential
campaign. All of the possible presl-
Dental candidates will likely be there.

PARkHURsT ON IMMORTALITY.

The Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst
Is a Presbyterian. and pastor of the
Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
New York City. Orthodox expounders
of Holy Writ according to the Presby-
terrain creed do not admit that there
is any question of the immortality OF
the soul In the great scheme of pre-
destinati ton, they say, all souls are
immortal, whether for eternal happi-
ness or eternal punishment. There is
life everlasting beyond the grave for
both the just and the unjust, the con-
ditions differing, but the state of ex-
istence and imperishabillty being the
same.
II was with some surprise, there
fore, that many of DR.. Parkhursts
congregation last Sunday heard him
preach doctrine of the limited life
of a soul under certain circumstances.
Instead of living forever, he asserted
that the soul would die unless it were
fitted for Immortality in this world,
and that even in the great beyond it
would have to keep up the struggle.
Bible that encourages us to feel that
soul can be kept from dying any
more than a body, unless it is taken
care of. There is no warrant from
the Bible" he said, that soul carries
within itself policy of life insurance
against it's own eventual obliteration.
We may be immortal, but if we prove
to be such, it will be because we have
succeeded in being such. 1t may be
that eternity is the normal period of
a SOULS life. So three score and ten
or four score years is the normal pc
Rod of the life of the body; but a
great many bodies die before that time.
A body that does not have excellent
care taken of it is almost certain to
die a good while before. A soul that
does not have good care taken of It
is similarly likely to die a good while
before eternity ends"
1t is difficult to grasp, what the
preacher means by "a good while be-
fore eternity ends" since it would not
be eternity if it had an ending. How
ever, he declared that he was not ex-
temporiZing, but was reasoning logical
ly. Then he went on to argue that,
as matter OF fact. a soul might die
before the body did, or that 1t might
die at almost any time after entering
the hereafter unless 1t took good care
of its spiritual health. The question
of immortality of the soul, he declared,
was a personal one, to be settled by
each individual for himself
Presbyterians everywhere will be apt
to open their eyes in establishment at
any such doctrine coming from a pull
pit of their denomination. 1t may
cause them to ask the question whether
DR.. Parkhurst holding such views, is
really a Presbyterian. They will not
lose sight of the fact, however, that
he is given to making sensations and
no doubt likes the notoriety which his
sensationalism gives him.

The disastrous explosion In the rapid
transit tunnel In New York on Mon
day, according to present lights, was
due to the carelessness Of some per-
son or persons. Who is responsible
may be developed by the coroner's in
vestgatlon. 1t is an added illustration
of the impossibility of providing
against the lapses of men from the
strict line of performing their duties
carefully and intelligently. The most
elaborate safety system that human
ingenuity can devise may be all set at
nought by the carelessness, inadvert-
ence or mental lapse OF one man con-
nected with that system. Machinery can
be made to work automatically, but
men cannot. Judging from the
effects accomplished by the ex-
plosion, there must have been
considerable quantity OF dyna-
mite stored in the shanty. Was
that amount greater than In per-

When he is pronounced in extremis,

bells will be tolled to summon the
