Statistics of Value Furnished by tn,
Bureau of Education.

Statistics of Value Furnished by the
Bureau of Education.
The United States bureau of educa-
ton estimates that of the 14,794, 403
men over 80 years of age in this
country, 1,757,023 are without educa-
ton, 12,054.335 have had only COM
mon school education or its equiva-
lent, 657,432 have received a high
school training in addition and 325, 613
have had college training.
The brief biographies of over 10000
men commonly considered successful
collected by Who's Who" afford an op-
portunity for comparison. OF the men
mentioned in who's Who" not one
enrolled himself in the first class-the
l, 757 ,023 without education. From the
second class came 1868, or one for
every S,S12, and of these twenty-four
reported themselves as self-taught, 27S
as privately taught. From class three
came 1927, or one for every 404, and
from class four, 7,709, one for every
forty-two.
The conclusions drawn by the COM
pliers of the statistics are that the
boy Of no education has hardly a
chance of honorable distinction; that
the lad with a common school educa-
ton has one chance in 5000, the high
school course increases the lads
chances twenty-five times and a col
lege education gives the young man
ten times the chance of a high school
boy and 200 times the chance of a boy
whose training stops with the COM
mon schools. The college graduate is
prominently successful and the self
educated man inconspicuous.

WELL WoR1H SEEING

One Of the most interesting exhibits
among the many Of all kinds at the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition in st. Louis is
that of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, of New Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds Of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day of the fair, a fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind it. 1t is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company to show at their exhibit the high
development which they have reached in
the making Of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit to realize
how near to perfection that development
has come. There can be seen the new auto
matio repeating rife, all kinds of shotguns,
the modern smokeless powder shotgun
shells and rife cartridges; in fact evcry-
thing that can interest the devotees of
hunting and trap and target shooting.
Don't fail to see the exhibit at the Manu-
facturers and Fish and Game Buildings.
It's well worth your while.

The Violets,

A letter with some violets-
All, how my fancy backward sets.
Until my brooding thought begets
face beguiiingi
Twin rose bud lips in Cupid line;
brow where curls DER droop and Irvine
Deep eyes that tenderly meet mine,
And answer smiling.
And fastened loosely on her breast
A bunch of flowersi What fairer nest
Could blossoms have wherein to rest
In any weather?
To heart her dear heart beat. and know
II when 1 whisper so and SO,
1t throbs a wee bit faster-oh,
I wonder whetheri
Seeming their delicate perfume,
1 catch somewhat of her sweet bloom
A loneliness that lends a room
Through which she passes
The wilding winsomeness of spring,
The vernal air and light that cling
To apple branches bourgeoning,
And vernal grasses.
All, violets, you cannot dream
How much of blessing and of beam
You bear with you-joy's perfect bleam
Transcribed never;
oh. fragrant firstlings of the year,
Because she loves you doubly dear,
Your lover I, and, year on year,
Her lover everi

Newspapers Came Hiah.


When Cy Warman, ''the poet of the
rail-" was travelling through Bonanza
Valley, near Dawson City, a short time
after the discovery of gold in the
Klondike, he passed young man with
a heavy pack of papers on his back.
Some men were working their claims
near by, up on the slopes of the hills.
Now and then" said Cy Warman,
"the young fellow stopped, put his
hand to the side of his mouth, and
shouted up to the men 'N'Yor-r-k n
S'attle papers!' in orthodox newsboy
style.
81 asked him how he sold them.
Fifty cents for Seattle an a dollar for
New York. he replied. He had two
hundred papers, and expected to clear
a hundred dollars on the trip, which
would take him three days"

Hioh Prices for Old Snuff Boxes.

When one notices the extraordinar-
lily large sums which have been spent
on the acquisition of snuff boxes one is
less surprised that the habit of snuff
taking has been abandoned than one
would be if it were to be revived. Two
thirds of the Hawkins sale, composed
mainly of snuff boxes, yields the enor-
nous amount of s127,000, and of this
the e1,050 paid for Louis XIV oval
gold box, inlaid with six plaques and
painted with classical themes, is an
example of the attractions which these
objects de vertu have always exer-
cised over purchasers of antiquities

Build Boat on Bridge.

Wichita, July 9.-John Horner, who
lives on the south bank of the Big Ar
kansas river near Seneca street, tele-
phoned to town for lumber with which
to build boat. He was water bound
and his property was suffering. He
entertained hopes that if he could get
the lumber, he could build boat and
pile at least a portion of his property
to higher ground. The lumber was
delivered and was received by him,
on the Seneca street bridge. There
Mr.. Horner set about constructing
the boat with which he expected to
save some of his possessions.

Ottawa Strikes Gas.

Ottawa, Kan, July 8.-Ottawa's
first real gas we'll was brought in by
the Chippewa Hills Gas and Devel-
opment company, an organization of
local men. Later tests indicate to
the expert that the well has a capa-
city of two million cubic feet a day,
and that a new gas field of large vol
ume has been opened. Another well
will be sunk at once. Local parties
have been prospecting for five years
past, but have struck nothing more
encouraging than occasional spurts of
gas. Another well like the one
brought in yesterday will supply the
towns needs.
A franchise has already been grant
ed the company by the city.
