BEGAN TEACHING
WHEN HE WAS Is

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan. From
l5-year-old teacher of district school
to the presidency of Minnesota university
is far cry, but it is the record of Presi-
dent Cyrus Northrop. His first money was
earned as teacher of district school In
Richtield, Conn.,, and his school numbered
80 pupils.
He says he was so young that he did net
realize the difficulties of his position.
Though some of his students We're older
than himself. there was no difficulty in
discipline, and for the year that he taught
no complaints of any kind were raised
against him.
In those days the president says a course
at Yale meant study early and late. and
after his experience as a pedagogue and
later severe application at Williston semi
nary. where he prepared for college. he
was not able to undergo the hardships of
the course, and after two terms left Yale
supposedly victim of consumption.
After another year. however. he 1e-
turned and completed the course.
Since then the rise of the siim-6gured
sschoolmaster has been constant, until he
has reached a place higher than any of
those who set out on the race from the
class of yale 81"

BASEBALL


SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. A six-club
circuit and two seasons of four months
each has been decided upon by the Pa
cifc Coast baseball league. The applica-
tion of Spokane for admission to the
league was temporarily laid on the table.
No salary limit, no increase of the original
25 cent general admission, and the placing
of contract jumpers on an eternal blacklist
were other matters that were settled.
The only objection made to the division
of the season was that the deciding games
would have to be played in San Francisco
and Los Angeles, owing to the inclement
fall weather in the North. By this ar
rangement Seattle and Tacoma will have
chance to fight out their battles on
neutral ground.
Tacoma opens at Fresno with Portland
March 81. The Tacoma team will play
at Fresno the first five and the last five
weeks of the season.

How fortunate it is that we have

not know of a single jealous per-

Do you? Jealousy is simply a
grief we experience on account OF
the superiority of others. Some
persons entertain the erroneous
idea that jealousy is the grief we
feel at seeing someone else receive
favors which are denied to US.
Their superiority is in talent
wealth, beauty, virtue, social or
political recognition, good nature,
business ability, etc. 1t is the
shadow of other peoples success
that clouds our lives. It is the

larity that sours the milk of hu-

ers.' We may be superior to them
in everything but just that one
thing of which We are jealous, but
inferior in that. jealousy was
displayed by the first child that
was ever born. Don't you re-
member how Cain took rough
stick and smote his brother Abel
until he was dead? And all be-
cause he was jealous. It is
jealousy that keeps all Europe
disturbed. Nations jealous of
Germany, of England, of Russia;
jealous of each other, and all
jealous of America. What scene
of jealousy we had in this country

Faithful physicians sacrificed
their practice and health in watch
ing at his deathbed. Drs. Bliss,
Hamilton and Agnew went through
anxieties and toll such as few
persons can realize; but they did
not please the rest of the medical
world. The doctors in charge
could do nothing right or pleas
ing to the other doctors.
We should watch for excellences
in others rather than defects. If
some one is more beautiful then
you, thank God that you have not
so many perils of vanity to con-
tend with. If some one has more
wealth than you. thank God that
you have not so great a steward
ing to answer for. If some one
gets a better position in the
political, business, or labor world
than you, thank God there are not
SO many hoping to see you "re-
duced." On the other hand, if
you are assaulted with jealousy,
take it as a compliment, for peo-
pie are never jealous of failure.
We should strive to substitute for
jealousy an elevating emulation.

do better. Seeing others indus
trious let us work the harder.

exhaustive study of himself; find
what are the weak points Of his
own character and strive to correct
them; trace the causes that led to
his defeat and downfall. In short,
do his best to understand himself.
Then earnestly work to strengthen
and develop all that is good, man-
ly, and noble in his nature, and
conquer and subdue all that is
weak Or vile. A general who suf-
fers defeat through some weak
point in the fortress which he COM
mands, will at his earliest oppor-
tunity strengthen the weak parts
to resist future attacks. A mans
moral character is the fortress
from which he fights temptations
in all their varied forms. IF parts
of the fortress are weak, no time
should be lost in strengthening
them.
One also may derive much prof
it and pleasure from mental Gull
tivation. With the spare time at
ones command, much may be &C
complished in a comparatively
short space of time, by a we'll
chosen course of study.
These two things, moral and
mental advancement, along with
habits of regular living, labor, ETC.,
are about all one can save from
the wreck. But they are much.
Very much, if he has been earnest
and conscientious in their acquire
ment.
With character and mind devel->
oped and strengthened, one may
leave prison walls better equipped
to fight the battle of life than ever
before. With a better trained mind,
with more steadfast principles,
and with his past experience as a
guide, he can avoid or conquer the
temptations and obstacles before
which he formerly fell. Aside
from the advantages which these
requirements will give one on his
release from prison, he will find
an absorbing interest and pleas
ure in the acquisition of knowl-
edge-an interest and pleasure
which will help wonderfully in
passing the time of his imprison-
ment. As his mind grows and
his tastes develop, he can hold
fascinating communion with the
great minds of all ages. He will
find satisfaction in conquering
self and building up strong, true
character which nothing else will
give. All this requires work and
persistent effort and 1t is we'll worth
it.
Nothing really worth having is
gained without hard, patient work.
We all wish for success in life;
and strong character; a cultivated
mind, and steady, persistent ef-
fort are the tools with which the
statue Of Success is carved.

A Welcome to William.

Germany is a country of titles,
and everyone who can afford a
medal wears one. It does not
matter if you are only measly
customhouse inspector, long
sword is provided to hang from
your belt; and the student, on gala
days, wears pompous patent-leath-
er boots reaching to his knees, a
velvet jacket, a gold-embr oidered
class cap, and in his hand he car
ries fencing foil. The mayor of
the city, on a special holiday, ap-
pears at nine a. m. in charming
full dress suit; his breast is ladened
with very many gold and silver
medals, and he wears tricolored
silk sash. The silk hat is also
taken out of its hiding place. This
imposing piece of head-wear only
sees the light of day on special
occasions. such as funerals and
feast days.
When we arrived at Hamburg
the gayety was at it's height; the
Germans expected their emperor to
visit the honored burgh, and every
thing was in readiness to receive
that most august gentleman.
Long before the arrival of the i'm
perial party. many medal-covered
and sash bedecked individuals ap-
peared at the depot. No common
mortal was allowed to peep into
the brilliantly decorated reception
room. Many policemen with long
swords kept the crowd from get
ting anywhere near the "hallowed'
spot. A German military band
came from some place and began
to serenade the silk hats, the red
coats and the many medals. Aft
or long waiting, Emperor William
II finally arrived and received the
homage of all the humble throng.
William wore a plain uniform and
only one medal. This was great
disappointment for me, for [ want
ed to see the king dressed up.
The populace received him most
reverently, and the emperor greet
ed all with wonderful calmness.
His face was very pale and he was
not at all we'll. The many sashes
and medals took their emperor
through the city, and served
lunch at the art building. After
dedicating a certain building, the
visitor returned to the imperial
train, and amid the hurrahs of big
and little folks, the august person
age returned to where he came
from, minus a package of medals,
which he presented to his enter
tanners.
To an American this looks
strange. When President Roose-
Welt comes we all celebrate, and
his reception is from the heart; we
wear no medals and it makes no
difference if the handshake comes
from lumberjack or from some
rich man. Here the people rule
and our president is one OF the
people; but Germany is a mon
archy, and red sashes and medals
will ever divide the plain folks
from the nobility. But-William
is happy and-so are we. ~
