lish university. When John Harvard,
1888 and left his library of 260 vol
umes and half of his fortune to the
college, his munificence was reward
ed by the bestowal Of his name on
the infant educational institution.
Two years later the first president OF
Harvard, Henry Dunster, entered
upon his duties, and two years after
this Harvard sent forth it's first grad
yates, nine in number.
Since those long-ago days Harvard
has become one of the greatest edu
cational forces in the world, with
more than 5000 students, including
the summer school, and nearly $751;
100000 in capital, while its lands and
buildings are valued at 100000
more. When the college celebrated
its 250th anniversary James Russell
Lowell was one of the speakers, and
he said: mot one of our older build
ings is venerable, or will ever be-
come so. Time refuses to console
them. They look as if they meant
business and nothing more" This
was eminently true of the first build
ings erected at Harvard, although it
might not be true of the buildings
erected in recent years, for some of
them combine both utility and beauty.
There is no picture eXtant of Har-
wards first hall, and its exact loca-
ton is now a matter of conjecture.
It is thought to have stood on or near
the site of the present Grays Hall.
The first Harvard Hall, or Harvard
college" as it was called in those
days, was built in 1872, and it stood
alone in the college yard until the
year 100, when another college"
was built and was named Stoughton
college" in honor of it's builder, Gov.
William Stoughton. In the year 1918
the General Court of Massachusetts,
made a grant for Massachusetts, Hall,
which is now the Oldest of all the
halls of Harvard.

The Pilgrim Fathers builded better
than they knew when, on Oct. 2, 1896,
they passed the following vote in the
General Court: 1.-THE Court agree to
give 9400 toward school or col

next year, and 9200 when the work
Is finished, and the next Court to ap-

This vote met with the approval
of Gov. Henry Vane and his success
or, John Winthrop. 1t was voted that
the proposed college be established
at Newtowne, and in the same year
the name of the town was changed
to Cambridge, because many of the
colonists had been educated in Cam

town was given the name of the Eng.

Tie baroness of the lofty frescoed
room had been relieved by hangings
of ancient tapestry where was por'
trayed IN dim green tints, as OF sea
depths, the story of Circe. Swinging
lamps and yellow candles, thick as
mans wrist, in tall, ecclesiastical can
dlesticks, cast a soft light Ger the
sombre antique furniture. Great brass
bowls of red roses made splashes OF
color in the deep shadows.
In a high carved armchair, by the
open wood-fre woman sat, listen
Ing and waiting. She wore a loose
gown of soft, diaphanous material,
whose whiteness was thrown into re-
lief by the mantle Of black fur, just
slipping from her shoulders. She, her.
self, was of strange type OF beauty
the clear pallor of her skin. like the
petal Of a white rose, being in vivid
contrast With her jet black hair and
dark eyes. She might have served
to personify night.
After O time she arose and paced
the room restlessly. pausing at the
great tapestried bed to turn down the
coverlet, and to touch with her lips
an instant the violets just beneath tie

head. Then she drew aside the cur
tains of a window, and looked out for
q moment on the moonlit garden, and
on the lights Of Florence, far below in
the valley. They had lived in the
villa already three months, she and
her husband, yet in that time they
had visited the beautiful city but once.
He was absorbed in his chemical ex-
reriments, and she was absorbed in
linn.
She heard his step now in the cor.
ridor. and her heart leaped with ex..
pectancy. He entered and stood for
moment In the shadow, a youthful
figure still, despite his bent shoulders
and furrowed brow, and the look Of
age impaired by the skull-cap and long
furred coat which he wore.
For a moment she could not see
what he carried in his arms, but she
OWNED from his air Of exaltation that
his latest experiment had been sue
cessful. AS he crossed the room,
graceful figure in her long white dra-
peries. he held out to her his precious
burden, twelve coal-black roses. She
gave a cry Of delight.
ooh, LOW beautiful! Basil, how
did you do it,"
He smiled as he watched her caress
the ebony petals with her write finger
tins. and brush their soft blackness
against the pale oval of her cheek.
"That l cannot tell any one-even
you! You wished for a black rose.
Your husband is magician" he went
on playfully, land you have your
hearts desired"
She sank into the armchair by the
fire, the roses on her lap, dark mass
against the delicate tissues Of her
robe. Here and there the freight
caught the intense green Of the I'M
changed foliage.
what are they like?" she cried,
holding one against her face. "They
are witch flowers now, uncanny mid
night things. All! I know. They are
like the son of Lucrezia Borgia."
Her husband adjusted the black fur
mantle about her shoulders.
"No, no, you must not call them ugly
names, sweetheart, for I mean them
to personify you. You are dark
rose-with your midnight hair and
eyes"

DR.. Parkhurst Guided the Guide.

The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst
goes to Switzerland every year for hii
summer holidays and climbs the Alps.
He has many friends among the Swiss
guides, whom he warmly admires.
"Only once did know one of these
men fail in his duty" he said to a
friend the other day. 81 took him to
guide me on an ascent, and was much
surprised that he did not insist on
my carrying big flask Of brandy for
the party, as the guides usually do.
But I soon found out the reason.
He was hopelessly drunk already, and
after he had staggered half mile up
the slope he sat down on rock, look.
ing utterly bewildered, and confessed
that he didn't know where he was or
where to lead me. He had been over
the ground thousand times, but
had to guide the guide home"

Rich Gold Deposits in Bolivia.

In the bed of the river San Juan
de Oro in Bolivia, South America,
discovery was made few weeks ago
of what is described by experts as the
richest gold deposits in the world.
The gold is not found in quartz rock
nor as a strictly alluvial deposit. but
lies in large masses in the bed OF the
river itself. 1t is intended to work
this deposit by the system of dredg-
ing, which has found so much favor
of late in countries where large river
bed deposits exist, notably in New
Zealand.

1874 years since it was built The
walls, doorways and windows are ex-
actly as they were nearly two CEN
turtles ago. The inside of the old
hall has suffered a great deal of
change. At first it had many small
rooms, not much larger than cells,
for there was need of economy in
space. After the battle of Lexington
the students occupying Massachu-
sets Hall were sent to Concord and
the American troops occupied the
hall. In recent years Massachusetts
Hall has been user for society meet
ings and lecture rooms, and the hall
has not been used as dormtiory
since the year 1871. Among the fam

Ysqul Women to Yaeatsu.

Attached to Monday evenings train from Sonora was an extra coech containing twenty-five Yaqui women. They were the wives of some of the Yaquis rounded up and deported to Yucatan some weeks ago by the Republic of Mexico for having participated in open rebellion against the govern ment. It seems that the Yaquis were very discontented at being separ- ated from their families, and the owner of one of the plantations in Yucatan employing the Yaquis decided to come to Sonora and take as many of the women back with him az cared to go. He brought two of the men along with to vouch for the good treatment accorded them on the plantations, went out into the Yaqui country and succeeded in securing the number hereinbefore stated. The gentleman reported that many of the women were skeptical and re- fused to leave, but he is coming back again in September at which time he hopes to meet with better success. From here the women were taken to RI Paso and on to Vera Cruz, thence to Yucatan by steamer.

NAV Cost Him His Life.

Helena, Ark.-C. M. Massey, q
white man, has been placed in jail
here and will have to answer to three
charges in the circuit court criminal
assault, murder and horse-stealing. IL
August last, it is alleged, the double
crime of criminal assault and murder
was committed. Massey lived in the
Coffee Creek neighborhood with his
wife, and his wife going away from
home for time,, he had young girl
Dora Williams, said to be only four
teen years old, to come and care fol
the house. The girl was one morning
found dead, and at the last session Of.
the Phillips circuit court the grand
jurv took up the matter and indicted
Massey on charges of assault and MUIR
der, it being claimed that the girl s
death resulted from the morphine
given by Massey. Since then Sheriff
Kitchens has been endeavoring to To-
cate the man, and he was finally
tracked into the Sunk Lands in Craig
head county by D. w. King of Gobel,
who had been sent after the man, and
there arrested. Massey admits steal
ing the horse, but refused to talk
about the other and more serious
charges against him.

MISSISSIPPI NEWS MATTERS
Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings


A rumor4has been current for some
time that the Frisco system has been
contemplating the building of a rail-
road from Memphis, Tenn, to Gulf
port, and the indications are that
there is fair prospect of this predic-
ton coming true. A well-known citi-
zen, who is largely interested in the
Mississippi Delta, stated that the Fris-
GO people have representative in the
Delta endeavoring to secure deeds for
right of way through the country from
the owners of property along the pro-
posed line. The Frisco people have
long been desirous of securing an out
let to the gulf, and it is being asserted
that the proposed line will extend
from Memphis southwark, crossing
the Clarksdale branch at Matson, just
above Tutwiler, thence continuing
south and crossing the Southern Rail
way at Indianola, thence down
through the western portion of Yazoo
county, crossing the Yazoo river about
Two miles below Satartia, crossing the
Alabama and Vicksburg at Bolton
and the Illinois Central at Crystal
Springs, and on to Gulfport.

SLAUGHTER OF FOREIGNERS.
Another Serious Boxer Uprising
Threatened in China.

Beloit, Wis. Sensational in the ex-
treme are the reports sent from Pc
king by Charles F. Cannon of the
American Bible Society of another
threatened Boxer uprising in China.
Mr.. Cannon says that second Box
er outbreak is inevitable and states in
letter to his father, E. NJ. Cannon
of this city, that United States Minis
ter Conger is alive to the danger and
has notified the Chinese officials that
unless the movement is suppressed at
once, he will request United States
troops be sent to Peking, Mr.. Gam
mons letter reads in part as follows:
Il find the situation in some parts
Of the north very unsatisfactory, par
ticularly in Shantung and Honan.
Dates have been set for the slaughter
Of all foreigners and the general
symptoms resemble those of 1900.
Several secret societies, including the
Boxers, have united in a great society,
the purpose of which we do not un-
derstand. The officials are helpless
because many of their underlings are
members. In fact the officials are
forced to obtain information from
missionaries. The cause of the trouble
[ do not know wholly, but heavy tax
alton is one of them. This is being
laid at the door of foreigners.
