democratic and unaffected girl.
Miss Roosevelt's adventures began
in Honolulu, where she spent a day
seeing volcanoes, canoeing In the surf
and witnessing the fetes arranged by
the Hawaiians i'll celebration of her
visit. At Tokyo she was the center of
scenes the like of which were never
witnessed in the japanese capital be-
fore. All kinds of functions were given
in her honor. She dined with the I'M
perial family, and there was a brilliant
reception at the palace, the occasion
being signalized by the opening of the
imperial gardens for the entertainment
of Miss Roosevelt and her party, a pro-
ceeding absolutely without precedent
In the annals of Japan. On the streets
of Tokyo there were scenes of a re-
markable character, and the enthusi-
asm manifested was second only to
that shown on the homecoming of Ad-
miral Togo after the great victory of
the sea of Japan. At Manila and In

plished young congressman from Ohio,
Nicholas L~ongworth, was ever at Miss
Roosevelt's side, and, though no en-

him and the presidents daughter, he
was regarded by the members Of the
party az her chosen defender. Once he
saved her from a fall from her horse
while they were descending a steep de-

Again he was packing his trunks for

1t was the last of July, and Harry
Reynolds trunks and bags were pack

too, although everything had been done
to make his visit to his college friend
pleasant. He had yachted, played golf,

that he had forgotten her name.
There were all sorts of letters in the
bunch he held in his hand, both gossipy
and t1irtatious. One was an adoring,
pleading note from a society girl that
made his face crimson with pity and
shame. There were invitations, and
was that all? No. He picked up a lit

fallen to the loor and opened 1t. There
was no address inside, no signature.

back in his chair.

had addressed such words to him.

DR.. FuIIers Work Endorsed.

At recent commencement OF Drury
College at Springfield, Mo-, the new col
lege song was given for the first time by
the students, the song being written by
the president, Rev. DR.. Homer 7. Fuller,
so pleasantly remembered in st. Johns
bury. He retires from the presidency of
Drurv College after II years of faithful
service to locate in his old home in Fred
onia, N. Y, and the Republican OF
Sprins6eld has the following strong
endorsement of his work which will in
terestour readers;
DR.. Fuler's removal will bea great loss
to Springfield, both as an educational
factorand as social and moral force.
He has been teacher for about forty
years and has an established reputation
as a borough scholar and instructor.
He had made such a reputation, many
years ago, when he developed st. Johns
bury academy (Vermont) in TIP and
when lie was president of Worcester
Massachusetts, Polytechnic Institute.
| They s1oke of him then especially as a
| scholarand as man who could bring
| things o pass" He'has been known IN
a still WIDER sense here. as a man whose
opinion and influence carried weight
with thoughtful men. AS moral force
and in he persistency OF intelligent opin-
ions DrFuler is easily the foremost man
of Springfield. He is one OF the most
university educated men in the country.
DR.. Teff and Col. Murray, two OF his
CONTEMPORARIES of the library board, de-
clare tint he seems to know more about
architecture than the architects, more
about uiIding than the builders, more
about sbstructures than the masons and
stone cutters. 1t is in this all-rounded-
ness tht he has flew equals. His reten-
tive mnory and temperate and busy
life as student and scholar have en-
abled hn to absorb vast fund OF IN
tormatin, to arrange and systematize
his knowledge, and thus he has an eth
cheney stdom attained for general work.
Since coming to Drury, eleven years ago,
assistedby the faculty he has cleared up
the camus, built the presidents home
and Peasons hall and made an addition
to Mccullough Cottage. The school has
doubledn attendance and influence and
, we understand the endowment has al
most ben doubled. The educational
status othe institution has been raised
and Druy college stands at the apex o.

The exercises of commencement week
passed off as we'll as could be desired.

when the graduates were obliged to wear
their new gowns in pouring rain. Inc

Dream of Youth" After the church
service, the class partook OF bountitul
dinner provided by Landlord Hale On
Wednesday afternoon quite large
company assembled in the schoolhouse
yard and listened to the classday exer-
cises. The presentation, given by Maud
Davis, was easily the most laughable,
but OF the most serious parts, 1t would
be hard to say whose was the best. On
Friday evening the church, aisles, vesti-
bules and driveways outside were pack
ed with people who had come to hear the
closing exercises of the school. AFTER
some delay the class marched onto the
platform, to the music of Wilder's orches-
ira. Every number was heartily applaud
ed, and the audience was very patient
despite the extreme heat. At the close
Principal Wilson, with few well chosen
words presented the diplomas. AS the
graduates marched out, a round OF
applause burst from the audience. The
reception following at thebeautitul home
of F. Deming was as fully attended as the
exercises in the church. The orchestra
| played from time to time during the even
| ing, and refreshments OF frozen punch and
waters, were served in the dining room.
| The weeks festivities closed with the
alumni banquet at Hales Saturday
evening at which about 80 were present.
Before dinner a business meeting was held
at which the constitution and bylaws
were read and voted upon and new ottl-
GERS elected as follows: President, John
Bone; vice pres, Mrs. W. ]. Goss; Sec,
and treas, Miss Mabel Hall; executive
board, Mrs. Bone, Mrs. Goss, Miss Lottie

toasts were responded to, Mr.. Herman

was called upon to speak, and delighted
the company with her ready wit. Accord
ing to the stories, there never was MOI
ever will be such a class as '97. The
speaking was interspersed by solos by
