HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT.
Recognition BY Colleges Of Importance
Of American Stcry.

A little more than thi ty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honUrs without. knowing of
the existence Of the declaration of in.
dependence or when the constitution
OF the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true Of Har.
vari was true of other universities
and colleges, American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col,
Iege were required to know something
or the history of Gree and Rome,
but not Of their own country. During
the four years of the college course
lh"s had opportunity to study the his.
tory OF England and n,.upe, but never
10 learn aught of the United States.
This condition of education was mere,
Iy an indication of an attitude of mind
then passing away, but which had once
been predominant The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
halt OF the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling apart from the adventures OF
the revolution, which were both con
nected so closely with the history OF
Europe that they might be deemed OF
importance.

A Widows WAY.

Old Solomon was wise In many ways,
But there We're things he couldn't I'M
derstand:
And unto him be honor and great praise
That he confessed hts ignorance on
hand.
He did not know how ships went in the
sea,
How serpents crawled. how eagles
sailed In the air:
mans way WITH a maid was mystery
To him-he owned all this freely and
fair.
A maids way with a man Is also queer
So subtle that no man can fathom it.
He may he wise but she the little dear.
Shacklcs his wisdom and confounds his
wit
But there is something stranger far than
this
How q young widow blinds a lovers
sense,
And him quite persuaded that the
he gives her IS nc~ experience.

HAVE A PURPOSE IN LIFE.
GooS in Wholesome Ambition and
Enthusiasm for Work.

P"CrCr living, proper working and

have wholesome ambition and to
work with enthusiasm for It's fulfill
ment is an essense of vigorous exist
ence, says the Brooklyn Times.
Many an invalid would be happy
and well If she had a worthy purpose
in life and happily labored for It,
Many an hysterical woman would be
Stately and strong had she consistent

a laudable object. The greatest eff.

Besides relaxation we must have di.
version. We must play If our work
is TO be effective and long sustained
and If we are not 20 be nervous. Am
bition Is q great force and makes for
stimulus, and industry is better than
both, but in excess the combination
has worked the ruin of many.
In order never to be nervous 1t is
needful to live with reason, have a
purpose, and work for It, play joyous

riches, but unlimited common sense

Remarkable discoveries have been

ever known of that country.

proprietor or an Astor street cigar stand,
was arrested, is home with her family.
having returned to the city on last
nights train in charge of Portland dep
uty sheriff. Balmer, it is thought, Is re.
sponsible for the girls leaving here, ana
is held with the object in view of con.
visiting him on substantial charge. 5.
In the sweat-box, early yesterday
morning, Balmer divulged that Miss Gil.
more had gone to Portland. He would
admit this only when Sheriff Linyille
told him that Mrs. Gilmore was In a
precarious condition as the result o.
nervous prostration, caused by her
daughters disappearance.
Balmer stated further that the girl
would met girl chum whom he de-
scribed, in Portland, young woman
who formerly worked in the telephone
Office with Miss Gilmore. Linville tele-
phoned Sheriff Word of Portland and
requested him to watch for the missing
girl. He then telephoned to Miss Nell
lie Lidwell, 400 Stark street, Portland
who mhe recalled from Balmer's descrip.
tion. Miss Lidwell said that she had not
seen her friend, but that in the event
she materialized, Sheriff Linville would
be Immediately notified.
Yesterday Miss Lidwell telephoned
that the missing girl was with her In
Portland. Linville advised Word, who
sent deputy to take her in charge. She
was brought home last night and ac,
cording to Linville, viii say nothing rel.
ative to her precipitious departure, or
against Balmer or as to what her plans
were.
So far as may be determined Miss
Gilmore left Astoria, Sunday afternoon
at 2 o'clock in launch, which Balmer,
without leave, borrowed of Sa mliarris.
Miss Gilmore was conveyed TO John
Day, where she was put in charge of
Bridgetender Davis. The latter was ad-
monished not to allow Miss Gilmore to
miss the evening train to Portland. Re-
ports as to where the girl remained in
the period intervening between the time
she was last seen and the time of her
dparture are mere conjectures and utter.
ly unreliable.
Miss Gilmore is well connected here
and has always borne an unblemished
name. 1t is impossible to conceive what
influence could have been brought to
bear upon the girl to induce her to leave
home and apparently for clandestine
meeting with such a man as Balmer,
whose reputation is not free from stigma
