GIFTS IN PROPER SPIRIT.
Significance Of Recent Benefactions
to COLLEGES.


to Colleges.
After all, the principal use of the
college Is as a place where the next
generation is to get right ideas OF
what is worth while in life itself. The
mere facts which, to the ignorant,
seem the advantages of education, are
of minor Importance. We hear much
in the periods Of college commence
ments of the necessities of the mod
ern university In the way of enlarged
endowments and increased equipment.
Some of this talk is, of course, rea-
sonable enough. 1t Is addressed main
ly to the rich as a demand for the
recognition by them Of a duty of gen
crosby, n which in our days has
had a most remarkable response. But
apparatus is an impossible substitute
for ideals, and the best endowment
of a college is the character of its
graduates. The $4,000 bequest, for
example, to his Alma Mater, which
the will Of the late William H. Bald
win contained, was small If consider
ed as a mere matter of money, but his
character and the ideals of public
service which his life expressed form
part of that permanent endowment
which alone makes a university great.
The memory of a railroad president
ready to sacrifice, if need be, his posi-
ton, rather than lose an opportunity
for usefulness on an unpaid committee
of citizens banded together for i'm
portant civic service, is a rarer and
more precious contribution to the
fiber of university life than any mere
material bounty from ravenous fin
gers unclutched by hypocrisy or the
fear OF death.-George w. Alger in
the Atlantic Monthly.

Remedy for Heart Trouble.

The Optimist, organ of the "Nolens
volens" colony at jackson, prints a
cut Of the prison. In the dome of
the main building is shown open win
dows in the highest portion. The oc-
companying comment narrates that
many years ago a prisoner attempted
his liberty by means of a rope down
which he was sliding when the cord
parted and he fell, first to the roof OF
the central building, then, bounding
from thence, hit the top of the cell
block, where he acquired sufficient
elasticity to land him on the ground.
These unexpected incidents confused
him and he was captured. S%ingularly
the misfortune of his failure was not
unmitigated. He had been so af-
hicted with heart disease as to be un-
able to lie down for months. The fall
knocked it completely out Of him and
he was enabled thereafter to sleep
like a top" The Optimist cheerfully
invites the palpitating public to come
and try the remedy.-Detroit Tribune.

The Locomotives Offspring.

When the Canadian Pacific railroad
an its first train through Maine there
were q great many people. on the Dor
der who had never seen a train of
cars, and the first work train that
came into one of the towns caused
nearly all the people to turn out to
see 1t. After they had gazed at the
engine and cars for some time the
train pulled on to a siding.
The roadmaster came along on a
railroad velocipede and stopped at the
town crossing. An old lady who had
been gazing in wonder at the engine
and cars asked some n what On
earth that thing was. Some n in
the crowd told her it was a young en-
CINE. She looked at 1t steadily for q
few minutes, and then said: What
in the world are we coming to! Is il
q yearling or a 2~-year-old"

rhs COMING Of the KING.

He came in royal robes of state,
And smiled upon the eager throng,
Hearts there were there all d~eSolate,
Not to be moved by mirth and song.

Shame on his sceptre! han his throne
And we, his people," low they said.

And save us e'er we perish" they

A change to the right kind of food

severe stomach trouble accompanied by
sick headache. / got worse and worse

retain any food at all, although 1 tried
every kind. l had become complete
ly discouraged, had given up all hope
and thought l was doomed to starve to
death, till N day my husband trying
to find something l could retain brought
home some Grape-Nuts.
ITO my surprise the food agreed with
me, digested perfectly and without dis
tress. l began to gain strength at
once, my flesh (which had been flabby)
grew irmer, my health improved in
every way and every day, and in a very
few weeks I gained 20 pounds in
weight. / liked Grape-Nuts SO we'll
that for 4 months I ate no other food,

WASHINGTON WILL SHIP CHRIST.
MAS TREES TO EASTERN CIT
les THIS WINTER.
Demand so Great That All Railways
Adopt Rate on Pine and Fir
Trees.

Eastern states are looking to Wash
ington and other western states this
year for their supply of Christmas
trees, and such big demand has al
ready been made on Washington that
a special rate of 81 per 100 pounds is
being made by all railways On pine
and fir trees from the Pacific north
west to Chicago and all Mississippi
and Missouri river points, says the
Seattle Post Intelligencer.
This is the first time we have ever
had to consider the handling of this
class of freight to any extent" said
Chief Clerk Hunter Of the Northern
Pacific yesterday, "and it was diff
cult matter to make rate. While
there was a slight shipment of Christ
mas trees to the east last year 1t
was not sufficient for establishment of
a basis of charges, and this is the first
time any transcontinental road has
ever made this kind of a rate.
1.-The tariff goes into effect about No
vember TO- and will continue until
December 81. 1t has been adopted by
all lines. The rate was only made after
the railways found there would be an
immense shipment of pine and fir trees
to the east from Washington at
Christmas time. Many eastern firms
dealing in Christmas goods have had
orders placed for months.
1.-The trees will bring a neat sum IN
the eastern cities as the cost to the
dealers will be no small matter. In
most sections Of the east small trees
suitable for Christmas time are very
rare and the few pine and fir trees
that were shipped from western states
last year met with such a ready sale
that the eastern cities will be flooded
this Christmas"

LIFE INSURANCE FEDERAL ACT
Congress to Debate Government Going
Into Insurance Business.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Shall the
United States government go into the
insurance business?
This question will be asked with a
good deal Of force at the opening of
congress. Individual representatives
from different districts, including wide
ly separated sections Of the country,
have dropped in here from time to
time within six weeks and have indi-
Gated their intention to introduce bills
regulating life insurance and even fire
insurance business. Inquiries have
been made Of the bureau of corpora
tons at the department Of commerce
and labor, and other investigators
have been studying methods in the Of
flee of the controller o fthe currency.
All these researches, as conducted
by individual congressman, have had
for their own object the development
of data going to snow the necessity Of
federal control of the great insur-
ance corporations.
For while all these inquiries were
along the line of federal control and
were generally based On the bill intro
duced at the last session Of congress

Later, however, inquiries received at
the departments tend to show a new
and surprising sentiment in regard to
federal supervision. Several bills will
be introduced at the opening Of con-
gress which will sweep away all inter-
mediate steps and will provide that
the United States government shall go
into the life-insurance business and
into the fire and marine insurance
business as well, if such a thing be
possible.
The fight on the proposition for fed
eral supervision of life insurance COM
panies. of course, will be largely upon
constitutional grounds, and will beyond
doubt bring out splendid series of
arguments both in the house and
