Hit a Popular Chord.

Few utterances from distinguished
men have SO hit the popular thought
as the stand taken by DIR. John Bas-
com, professor of sociology at Will
Jams college at Milwaukee before the
Wisconsin Teachers association a few
days ago. when he declared in en-
| phatic language his disapprobation
of IL great educational institution like
the Chicago institution being support
| ed by the contributions of John ID.
Rockefeller. DR.. Bascom repeated
his declaration in Chicago New Years
day while there on visit. Said he:

supported as it * with money which
il gained in defiance of commercial
morality. cannot. in my Judgment

fessor. that no professor of eco

cagO can he expected to fulfill his
mission. Certainly he would not crit
iCiZe Mr.. Rockefeller or the methods
used by the Standard Oil company To
mOnOpolize business. Neither can the
divinity school of that university
prosper. How can the teachers i'm
that department talk against Il mo-
uopoly that has tErived through tech
nical violations of the interstate com
merce law, by obtaining privileges
from railroads which the ordinary
shipper cannot get. and by freezing
out small competitors? How can the
theological professor in such school
instruct the young man rightly on
most important question?
Il believe the problem presented by
the Standard Oil company is one
which naturally would have to lie di-
lated upon in the class rooms of Il
representative university. / know /

DIR. Bascom was asked if he would
apply his theory to all charitable be-
quests that Mr.. Rockefeller bestows
He replied:
''Well, | should say that if n beggar

for a dollar and then discovered
where the dollar was coming from. if
he were a beggar who Disseminated

Amazing Adventures.

The Humberts. who have just been
put behind the prison bars in Paris.
France. are amazing adventures.
The way they gulled and 1eeced the
moneyed men of the French capital is
incomprehensible in view of the fact
that their scheme was so fiimsy
and could be so readily detected. In
few of the fascinating stories of the
Arabian Nights are there tales
more bewildering than the authentic
accounts of the operations of the
Humberts. who succeeded I'm borrow
ing millions of francs from the
shrewdest money lenders in France
and elsewhere upon the continent of
Europe. These big loans were obtain
ed solely by means of the ingenious
fabrication. or rather monumental W.
ing of the swindlers concerning a
colossal fortune which never existed.
1t was entirely mythical. like the rich
es of the Count of Monte Cristo. The
Humberts fed 10 Spain, where the
bubble burst.
After tedious delay. for which il
is not easy to account. but which was
probably used by the losers to see if
they could NOT recover a portion of
their vanished money by promises of
leniency in the prosecution-the
swindlers were arrested in Madrid,
where they had sought refuge. As
the French laws against swindling are
extremely severe. and French prose
cutiOns of men and women guilty of
gigantic frauds are proverbially re-
lentless. he Humberts will probably
receive long sentence of imprison-
ment at hard labor.

ling career of the Humberts illus
trates again how easy it is for pre-
possessing and impudent sMindIers to

MENTAL TENSION.

Keeping Natural Pose.
We never know how active our i'm
aginations can be till we let them out
or till they get the better of us for
some reason. \ major in the army
recently admitted that when he went
into action for the first time he was so
scared that he did not know which
way was north. but he had an over
whelming desire To reach il, wherever
it was. Yet. after six or eight battles
and after being wounded couple of
times, he regarded battles very much
as people herea bout regard the evening
fight at the Manhattan end of the
bridge. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Cases of wanting to run when bullets
fly are by no means difficult to find.
But II young soldier in Brooklyn con-
fesses to more queer experience. His
regiment was in camp and had been
ordered out for dress parade. as usual.
When lined up for inspection, every
man as stiff as Il ramrod and not a

ing in his mind till before the inspec-
ton was over and the regiment was

could hardly keep on his legs and was
in Il great sweat of agony from the
dread of tumbling over and making an

According to Il Cairo contemporary,
persons who wish to let their friends
know that they are doing" Europe on
a princely scale. the while they are
living in retirement for a time. need
only apply to an agency in Paris
which viii undertake TO send
your letters to practically any
place in Europe you may select, and
there to have them posted for you on
any date you may choose The de
mand for such an institution arose
out of the absolute horror the Pari-
sian of high life has to be suspected
of remaining in Paris or it's environs
in the bathing season. One feature of
the joke is that you cannot only get
your letters posted from some distant
spot. but you can get answers re-
ceived from you and posted to your
temporary hiding place. There are
great possibilities for American trav-
elers in this. Why not stay I'M America
