A dairy school has been opened in con-
nection with the University Of Calitor-
mia.
A registration Of 579, 1854 pupils In the
public schools of New York is q record
achievement in that line. 1t is not sur
passed or equaled in any city in the
world.
Thieving has become so prevalent in
Stanford university that President Jor-
dan has issued an appeal to the whole
student body to assist him in running
down the criminals.
Under a new rule, women inspectors
visit the public schools OF London and in
spect the pupils. Those that are not
clean are sent home. But already it has
been found that some Of the children
smear themselves with mud before en-
tering school, in hope that an inspector
will pay q visit.

Reaping and Sowing.

Character is not something to be

begin soon. It's great value depends
upon getting an early start. You can
never repair wholly the damage wrought
on character in early life. There is a fic-
ton that you a SOW wild oats and yet
reap no bad harvest therefrom. We

were punched in the election OF 1895,
when Adams was elected president,
there being II others who received
votes in the electoral college for presi-
dent to succeed Washington.
Strange as it may sound, it is the
i~ndisputable record of history that
there were IL defeated candidates for
president when Washington was first
elected in 1889, and four when he was
reelected in 1892. But when one re-
members that the members in the
electoral college voted only for presi-
dent, and the two candidates having
the highest number of votes were de-
clared president and vice president, re-
spectively, the situation is somewhat
explained.
There was one election in the his
tory of the country which did not have
a single defeated candidate for presi-
dent, this circumstance arising when
Monroe was reelected in 1920. All OF
the electors chosen were expected to
vote for Monroe, there being no other
candidate, and the entire 232 votes of
the electoral college would have been
cast for Monroe had not sentiment
prompted one of the electors of New
Hampshire to cast his vote for Adams
SO that it could not be said that any
candidate had ever been unanimously
chosen president of the United States
save Washington.
When Jefferson was elected in 1904
Pickney was the only other candidate.
In 1872, when Madison was elected,
Clinton was the only defeated candi-
date. In 1928, Adams was the only
opponent of Jackson, the latter being
elected. And on two other occasions
there has been but one defeated candi-
date, in 1864 the reelection of Lincoln
being contested by Mcclellan, and
Grant in 1868 having Horatio Seymour
as his only opponent in the political
arena. The tendency of late years has
been to multiply the parties, so that
there Is now always a long list of de-
feated candidates.
Jefferson stands at the head Of the
list of defeated candidates, losing the
election in 1886 to Adams. But four
years later this able and democratic
s.father of democracy" as he has been
called. had the satisfaction of turning
the tables upon Adams, and forcing
him into the list of defeated candi-
dates.
With a few rare exceptions, candi-
dates who have been defeated for the
Office of president once have stayed
down and out, that is they have never
In any subsequent election been able to
turn defeat into victory. George Gin
ron furnished the most remarkable in
stance of this kind, he having received
votes for president in four separate
citations, and never was elected except
to the vice presidency in 1904.
The only other instance OF a defeat
ed presidential candidate being elected
TO the vice presidency at a subsequent
election is furnished in the case OF
Thomas A. Hendricks, who was one OF
six other candidates in the political
arena with Gen. Grant in 1872, and
was elected vice president on the
Cleveland ticket in 1884.
C. c.. Pickney, of South Carolina,
who ran four separate times for the
presidency, was not even fortunate
enough to score for the vice presi-
dency.

other example of this kind. Three
separate times he made the race for
president and each time scored a de-
feat.
The only other candidate Of a po-
litical party, having reasonable hopes
of success, to be defeated more than
once was William j. Bryan, who has
had his name written twice among the
passengers bound up Salt river.
But, on the other hand, Jackson was

Planked Steak.

Planked sirloin steak is said to be de-
licious. The steak is fastened to a cedar
board, exactly like shad, and baked or
broiled. 1t should be cooked rather
longer than when broiled in the usual
way. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over
the steak and sprinkle with a little
chopped parsley, or, better still, spread
with maitre d'hotel butter just before
