sleep of death and only the attending
physicians knew the exact moment when
the pulse ceased to beat.
The attending physicians despaired Of
the senator's life six weeks ago, but
such was the vitality exhibited by the
patient that even they were surprised
and the public at times led to hope for
ultimate recovery.
On Sunday last, however, all hope
was abandoned after the last unsuccess-
tub attempt to administer medicine and
nourishment Brief lucid intervals were
followed by longer durations of uncon-
sciousness until Tuesday morning, when
the venerable statesman sank into a
state Of coma, from which all efforts
to rouse him proved futile.
There were present at the bedside
when death came the senator's son, Gen
eraI lockwood Hoar, his daughter. Mary
Hoar, and DR. Warren, DR.. Gilman.

tarl
Tho principal feature OF tho program
was tho sermon by Or. F. II. II. Roberts.
who fills tho chair Of History and Poliii-
cal Science in tho Denver University.
In introducing the speaker Rev. W. !.
Davanpor. said that whsn tho Puritan
eolonis,s settled In America their first Of
forts for education wcro based upon their
conception Of tho value Of youth. and It's
future possibilities. Latas !, came To pass
that when the state saw tho citizenship Of
tomorrow In tho childhood Of today. she
took upon herself tho duty Of training and
developing tho powers Of that childhood.
Today. recognizing that true education
means tho training Of character as well
rs intellect. that tho child Is creature Of
two worlds. rather than ono. we come to
eonseerate this day to messages Of hope.
and cheer and truth. rs ,hoy may effect
tho nurture and development OF our
young people.
DR.. Roberts discourse was lecture
rather than sermon. bu, it was crowded
with thoughts tending to lead all hearers
to the higher lifc. He said that every
man and woman. boy and girl were
prcachers-the acts Of their daily lives
teaching and having an Influence for good
or evil on all with whom they came in
contact. Heredity had not so much to do
with character as environment. Horedita-

ry tendencies could be overcome by enyi-
ronment. ExamFles Of heroic courage were
not all in the past, but are noted today.
Much emphasis was placed on the fact
that an nations prosperity and perpetuity
rests on the hone-the absence Of which
now threatens the destruction OF France.
The Importance Of reading was enforced.
There are bad books, good books not
worth reading. and good books which
should be read. The names of several
authors Of the two latter classes were
given-the speaker confessing a happy
ignorance as to the first named. Good
influences on the formation of character
were secured by having good pictures in
the home. No man becomes criminal
suddenly. but by gradual progress. You
may do wrong so long that it is almost
impossible to do right.
Rocky Ford was eomplmented on the
high character Of the corps Of teachers in
the public schools and the graduates
urged to be true to their teaching. Greater
strength is needed to meet the joys Of
life and make them contribute to Christian
character than the sorrows. The condi-
tions surrounding the schools Of Rocky
Ford are Of the very best and its gradu-
ates should 60 out into life honest, true.
faithful and showing forth the highest and
purest integrity.
This short and most imperfect synopsis
Of DR.. Roberts address fails to convey a
fair idea Of its wealth Of practical, up
lifting thought And while expressing
high ideals throughout it was spiced with
brightness and humor, making the hours
discourse seem comparatively short.

Kuropatkin.s Dimculties.

General Kuropatkin, Russian mill
tary commander in the far east, is re-
ported to have said, when setting forth
across Siberia: 1.-THE first month they
will say that l am inactive, the second
that l am incapable. and the third
that l am a traitor, because we shall
be repulsed and beaten. I shall let the
people talk, firmly adhering to my res
olution not to advance before July,
when I shall have the forces I need"
Mr.. Charles Johnston, writing In Har-
per's Weekly, points out that, though
we are not compelled to believe this
story, it well expresses the difficulties
Kuropatkin is facing, for Kuropatk1n
has been called Ito lead an army
which he knows to be i'll prepared
against a foe whose formidable PROV
ess he heartily recognizes in a war OF
which he almost certainly disapproves
from a political not less than from a
military standpoint"
