A TYPICAL SON OF YALE.
oaIiaudet Put College Loyalty Before
Evervthino


Edison Fessenden Gallaudet. whose
marriage to Miss Marion Cockrell in
Washington recently caused an ad
journment of the senate in order that
the members might attend the notable
ceremony, was the stroke of two win
ming Yale crews in 1892 and 1898, and
one of the best university oarsmen OF
his day. He was considered one OF
the handsomest men in Yale. An old
athlete, who roomed with Gallaudet.
said in the Yale club last night:
yale coaches to this day consider
the '92 crew one of the fastest and
smoothest ever turned out from New
Haven, and the stroke did his full
part, and more, in the production of
this magnificent eight, of which DR..
Josh Hartwell was captain.
"Gallaudet was not a muscular nor
powerful looking man, but he drove
his crew, as few strokes in this coun-
try have been able to do, by sheer
nerve, endurance and Judgment. He
was an amateur violinist of rare abil-
ity and technique when he took up
rowing. He found that the musical
training Of years would suffer by the
loss of flexih.lity in fingers and wrists,
and was about to give up Craftsmanship
when the urgent need Of university
stroke caused him to set college 10y.

Gently there appeared in an English
monthly magazine an article entitled
"Gries, the Scandinavian Composer"
Grieg, when he saw 1t, sent a tele-

him to see the editor and explain that
he was not a Scandinavian but a Nor.

A WORD FOR THE CAUTIOUS.
Marriage Not Always Advisable for
the Younu Man.

sHe 'SuHS WdUs
Is not prudence one OF the cardinal
virtues? May 1t not be an absolute
duty? Shall people marry without TAX.
ing thought of the consequences?
Shall young man barely able to sup
port himself In decency assume the
added burden of supporting wife
and family
These are very practical questions,
and they affect not merely the indi-
viduals concerned, but also all society
is the character which foregoes
marriage as obviously imprudent and
of the nature Of selfish indulgence
reprehensible as disgraceful to the in.
dividual and to society, and as a
trouble" which can or ought to be
conquered? IL Is perplexing sub.
ject, and II cannot be settled wisely
in the off-hand fashion adopted by
President Roosevelt.
Undoubtedly the conditions of ad.
vancing civilization, its greater com
plexity, the increasing density of pop
ulation, in the large towns more espe-
cially, and the sharper competition
Of existence, are tending to the dim
mutton of the marriage and birth
rates; but how can the result be
prevented unless the causes are re-
moved? Is 1t not possible that by the
subsection of impulse to the restraints
of reason better service is done to
society than when inclination is al
lowed free sway without regard to
the consequences? New York Sun.

A New Mechanical Toy.

A new form of Noahs ark is one Of
the latest mechanical toys. The ami.
mails are attached to arms on a rotat-
ing shaft; turn OF the crank sets
the shaft spinning, and the child
looks through the doorway to catch
glimpse of the animals, which 1t can
not see properly until the shaft stops.
Only one animal can be seen at a
time at each stoppage, and the
chances against the same animal
stopping opposite the doorway twice
in any given time are very small.
Thus the child is always wondering
how many animals are in the box.

But the King Wanted His Subjects to
Get Together.


One day, as the king was giving
audience to his subjects, a gardener
came forward and said:

know that whatever thou sayest must

majesty.
My case is this: There is a stream

monotony, and | would humbly ask
that you order the current to run the

1T is this, o, king" said gardener
number two. THE stream which
Bozam has spoken of also runs
through my fields, and | pray you to

way 1t has run since the world was
young let 1t continue to run"
Il see, unused the king. while my
power Is such that | could make that

other old way, | do not wish to rejoice

In Freya's Garden.

In Freya's fragrant garden
The souls OF babes unborn,
That Time has dared not harden
BY Life's chill, gllmmering morn,
Slumber and laugh and play.
There, amid cool. long grasses,
By sounds of rushing streams,
For them the summer passes,
From dreams to happy dreams.
Nor changes any day.
Strange, snowy blossoms falling
Crown every golden head,
There is no sad recalling
OF joyous days long dead.
For there no Past Is known;
No hours by them are numbered,
No Future makes them fear.
No sin that long has slumbered
Cries out until they hear.
And claims them for its own.
Freya, mildeyed and queenly,
Passes from each to each,
Greeting each soul serenely,
Yet has no need for speech.
For each child understands.
And as by each she fingers
They gaze In her fair face.
And their soft baby fingers
Are drawn by her calm grace
To clasp her mother hands.
LIES messenger some morning.
The lady-bird. draws nigh.
And without sign or warning
Toward some soul must fly
And light on lips or brow:
Out from the green recesses
II needs must follow then.
Leave Freya's warm caresses
For the rough walks Of men
II had not known till now.

A. SERVANTLESS CITY.
ST. Louis Hotels Full of Folks Who
Can't Get Housemalds.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The scarcity of household help, first
noted in the Globe-Democrat of last Sat
day, gave many housekeepers the alterna-
tive of performing their own household
duties or seeking the comforts of home
in a boarding house or family hotel.
Now the latter alternative is gone, for,
according to the statements of the pri-
vate hotelkeepers, they have no rooms to
spare. 4as sas
Servantless housekeepers in st. Louis
are today practically in state of siege.
1t is an acknowledged fact that it is
quite as difficult for the average house
keeper to obtain competent help as 1t is
TO solve the problem of the squared cir
Gle.
The situation is rendered the more acute
because of the fact that there is practi-
cally no recourse offered the sufferers on
account of the equally knotty problem of
hoter accommodations in the city.
Inquiry at the fashionable hotels yes
terday developed the fact that while
many wealthy people are DESTROYS of CIV
ing up their houses to become guests of
the family hotels, there are not rooms
sufficient to care for them.
At nearly all of the West End hotels
the story Is the same All of them are
full and, unlike the street cars. there is
no room for one more" The dearth of
rooms is so marked as to amount almost
to a crisis. Before long 1t may not be
impossible that the wealthy housekeep-
ers5 realizing the dream of Bellamy in
'Looking Backward" may be quite will
ingit to engage with the proletariat in CO.
operative housekeeping.
When this era shall have arrived the
problem will have been solved and dish
washing will have been eliminated by the
use of wooden dishes, which can be con-
veniently burned after using them.
The situation appeals to several of the
most prominent ladies of the city in any
but humorous way. Expressions OBJ
tanned from a number of them seem to
show that the lack of servants amounts
to calamity and there seems no allevia-
tion in sight. Many prominent house
keepers were unable to see a rift in the
cloud or silver lining to it. At many
of the splendid homes in the city, where
the season would lead one to expect that
the blinds should be up and the occupants
enjoying the comforts of home, only ST.
lence reigns and the barred doors show
their owners to be absent There has
been signihcant& number of midwinter
departures for Europe, California and
Florida lately which might lead to the
inference that the strain has been too
great and that the lady of the house has
given up the fight and fled to more hos
pitable shores.
