A white man once found his way 10

lost his way. The Indians gave him
food and such shelter az they had.
Hunger and exposure had taken his
strength and while among the Indians
he became sick. The Indian women
cared for him. They made him a bed
OF boughs. They gathered herbs for
him and whom he burned with fever
they brought cold water from the
river and poured II over him, bathing
him as best thoy know from his aug-
gcstions. Tho tcnderest OF his nurses
was the chiefs daughter, and whom
he went away she went with him. Far
behind she left her people, going

hunter. But one day the hunter died.

sit and wait for him 10 come at night

The baby. being OF too tender age to

URBANA. ILL.,, Sept. 22-That the
University of Illinois sophomores on a
nocturnal raid seeking freshman can
didates for hazing purposes invaded
the home of Professor Morgan Brooks
of the university faculty and hauled
his young daughter out of bed by mis-
take, is the latest report here regarding
the hazing troubles at the State school,
According to the report the invaders
effected an entrance at the home and
ran upstairs seeking a freshman who
roomed in the house. They tried the
young woman's room and started to
pull her out of bed before her startled
screams appraised them of the fact that
they had made a grave mistake.
Detectives from Chicago are making
an investigation of the affair. and the
father intends to prosecute the Offend
ers If the sleuths are successful in find
ing the identity Of the invaders.
1t is unofficially announced that at
least five sophomore haZers will be ex-
PEELED from the university, and there
is much trembling and quaking on the
part of those who have been playing
the midnight pranks that frightened
the freshmen. The ak may swing over
many more, as the faculty is deter
mined to find out the hazers and make
stern examples

SlOwneSS Of Speed Prevents Serious
Consequences and Roosevelt ES-
capeS With Short Delay.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived here over
the Pennsylvania Railroad from Oyster
Bay at 6:52 o'clock this afternoon.
The Presidents train was delayed
about thirty-six minutes by an acct
dent to the rear drive wheel OF the To-
connective as it entered the tunnel at
Baltimore. The engine was imme-
diately detached and another procured
to pull the train to Washington
Fortunately the train was not run
ming at high speed when the accident
occurred, or it might have been more
serious. It was making not more than
thirty-hve miles an hour, when in some
unaccountable manner the tire OF the
rear drive wheel on the left. side OF the
engine broke and curled OFF. One end
Of it protruded upward and TANNED
through the boiler of the engine, caus-
ing an almost immediate shutting on
of the steam Engineer Weatherby put
on the airbrakes and the train came TO
a stop. A request was sent TO the yard
for another engine. After a half-hOurs
delay another engine was attached TO
the train and it proceeded to Wash
ington.
The cause Of the tire breaking, ac-
cording to the railway officials, was
inexplicable- The engine, Just before
leaving Philadelphia, had been thor
oughIy tested The President and his
party took the matter very cOolly.
The accident is said to be the frst
which has happened to a train on
which President Roosevelt has travelled
during his administration.
The President was given cordial
welcome home by a large crowd or peo-
pIe as he came through the trainshed
and walked out TO the street where his
carriage was waiting. The crowd lined
both sides of Sixth street for a long
time before the train arrived. and when
he made his appearance and stepped
into his carriage he was enthusiastic
ally cheered.

Vew Dieu as to
the Origin of
Species.
Special Dispatch to The Call

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-Great interest
has been aroused in the International
Congress of Arts and Science by the
theory advanced by Professor Hugo de
Vries, professor of botany in the Uni
versity of Amsterdam, who, combat
ting in the open Darwin's theory of the
origin of species, advanced a theory of
his own in diametrical opposition to
all ideas of former and present biolo-
gists and phylogenists.
Professor de Vries asserts that no
two of the same species of animal,
from the lowest stages to man, are
alike in any important particular. He
claims that the distinguishing feature
or element of an individual is not
transmitted to the offspring of that in
dividual. The theory of Darwin, on
the other hand, is that by heredity the
pecuIiarities of the primogenitor finally
result in a new species.
Professor de Vries offered proof be-
fore the scientists that an entirely new
species may be developed within one
or two generations.
Professor George H. Howard of Lee
land Stanford University spoke to-day
on Social Control and Function of the
Home"
Professor Howard said that at the
present time marriage depended more
upon the family than the family de-
pended upon marriage. The home was
used merely as a place in which to eat
and sleep, he said, while the members,
through selishness, were made wage
earners. Professor Howard asserted
that the marriage ties are at present
too lightly made and too easily
broken, and that this was the reason
for the club life of to-day, which was
menace to society.
Professor Howard brought out the
fact that patriarchal control in the
home, so prevalent In former years,
was rapidly vanishing and that hus-
band and wife were becoming more
equal in power. Therefore. he said.
harmony in the home was more i'm
portant than ever before.
