pushed this subscription at the
general church committee having
the matter OF location in charge,
together with a tender Of twenty
acres Of valuable ground, consti-
tuting a beautiful site. Not only
so, but they were disappointed
and crestfAllen when the educa-
tional commission declined TO take
their money and located the coll
lege at another place that offered,
/ presume, even better terms.
Clarendon has a Methodist coll
lege that has been here for years,
and has conferred such great ben
efits on the town that the people
know how to appreciate schools.
1t has an enrolment of 264 pupils,
a large number Of whom are board
ers, and the money that this
brings here looks good 10 these
people. A Catholic boarding school
st. MaFy's-is no lees appreci-
ated; has an enrolment Of over a
hundred, and although not nearly
so well housed and equipped as
our own "Villa Maria" is talked
up and assisted by these people,
being rightly considered one Of the
valuable contributors TO the pros.
perity Of the town. They have
fine public schools here, as we'll.
John 4. Cooke is secretary Of the
Donley County Improvement Club,
and is anxious TO have inquiries
about Donley County and Claren-
don, and to give warm welcome to
all corners. Our Business League
could get valuable pointers from
these town builders Of the Plains.
If the people of Clarendon had
an institution like the A. and NJ.
College as near to them as that
great state school is TO Bryan, they
would tie their town to it with
bands Of steel il il cost them a
hundred thousand to do so, for
they have the common sense,
pluck and enterprise that make
cities out of towns. They have no
patience with pessimists and
knockers, and il Bryan were pos
sessed with the spirit these people
have, considering our superior adj
vantages in many ways, our good
old town would have a population
VI ten thousand in no time, and
folks now satisfied with individ.
ualistic struggle and stagnation
would go by leaps and bounds TO
positions Of prosperity and influ.
ence. In it's last analysis this
spirit is nothing but common sense
applied to civic affairs, and hope
il will break out in epidemic form
At Bryan some Of these good days.
There is room and need for il.
A cool norther blows over the
plains today, and | hope it will
extend away down to the valley of
the Brazos, and bring a respite and
breathing spell 10 all the good
readers OF The Eagle before its re.
freshing breath is spent.

EASY TO TELL A STORY.
Ezra Kendall Gives Illustration Of
Simple Working.

Nothing is easier" explained Ezra
Kendall to the attentive reporter,
than to tell a story. Now, for in
stance, just suppose yourself travel
ing on a railway train, no dining car
and the worst kind of eating rations.
You are up against it, but the man
opposite you has the food problem
beaten to a fragile. You say to the
audience that he opened up the game
with a homemade combination sand
wich. Perhaps one person laughs,
perhaps all-it all depends on their
knowledge of sandwiches. But right
here you turn to the audience and
ask it if it ever had a homemade sand
witch. Then you repeat the question
laying the foundation for joke num-
Der one: Ever had one of EN-, ever
had a homemade combination sand
wich? you ask, with everything in 1t
they don't want at home Then you
say quickly: Everything in the ice
box that wants to leave quickly traY'
els in that sandwich Now you have
impressed the mans sandwich on
your audience and you begin to use a
few illustrative gestures. You go on;
The first thing he did was to unbut
ton the sandwich-with a pause just
long enough to let that work in-then
he lifted the lid and took out a cou.
pie of pickles and a stove litter and
closed it again A short pause. Then
he opened his mouth'-and you get in
a little side quip, such as i never saw
such an alcove in a mans face be
fore Continuing. you say: After
he'd eaten the sandwich he began tc
devour a mince pie, and after that
he began to double up and shut like
a jackknife.' Here you place YOU
hand on your stomach and move back
ward and forward a little. I asked
him what was the matter you say
and he r%ejoins, 4 think my wife put
some nuts in hat pie without crack
ing them You say then; Can yor
crack 'em that way? If so, I'll cal
mine with the shells on and crack ZEN

Boston is simply saturated with learn

or three dozen letters from the home

six different men-head5 of different

bad grammar, mor miserable rhetoric
and more misspelled words in ten
letters than I do in 100 written by

Settling the War on Clutches.

In an article in the Worlds Work on
the betterment work of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Co. is a funny story of
the hatred between the Japanese and
the Russians in the company's hospital
at Minnequa. The writer says: The
Russians and Japanese are as hostile
Individually in Colorado as in Man
churia. Even on the hospital lawn,
convalescent Russian and Japanese
patients have hurled crutches and
canes at n another; and on the
school rounds, children have fought
with fists and stones. The manage
ment had to make the wards in the
hospital small, so that subjects of the
Mikado and of the Car could not
glare at one another from beds on
opposite sides of the same room, and
to arrange the camps so that each
race or nationality could live by itself.

The Angel wore an expression that
was little short of tragic when Tot,

sank heavily down on the lounge and
heaved a sigh that was as heavy as
his subsistence. Tottie, who was re

in alarm.

The Tailor's Camera.

A new method of measuring for tail
ors has been patented in Paris. The
person to be measured is placed be-
fore a camera, and between them is
introduced a network that is photo
graphed at The same time and serves
as a standard. Certain articles are
necessary to obtain a complete result;
thus certain hidden parts, like the
armpits, etc, must be indicated by OBJ
jects visible from without; and, final
ly, several views must be taken from
various standpoints. The subject is
also fitted with a sort of harness
which indicates points of comparison.
These points may, however, be marked
directly on the person instead. The
relative positions Of the camera. the
network and the subject are carefully
adjusted so that the subject appears
always on the same scale.

FAMILY SPIRIT LOST
PEOPLE LARGELY WANDERERS
Ancient Ties Broken - our Grand
fathers Hardly Remembered
Restore the Family.

Higher education says Bishop
Potter, has increased woman's selfish
ness" "The divorce he adds, us
merely a recognition of something
which has already been accomplished.
What, therefore, we must study are
the causes for this passing Of the fam
lily spirit, this degeneration of the
home instinct. And what we must aim
at is the recreation of the family in
the p~atriarchal sense"
In other words, the individual inter
est has excluded the social and soci-
ETY. becomes an aggregate of unrelated
units.
Such a result might have been ex-
pected. In old times the man died in
the village where he was born. In the
c~hurchyard were the graves of his par
ents and grandparents and more re,
mote ancestors. He was identified with
his family and the circle of ais friends.
He had no life apart from them. In
our time the boy who stays at home
is a dull boy. The ambitious go West
or to China, or South Africa; wherever
he is he must go somewhere else. An
cient ties are broken and the individ-
ual lives for himself alone. He does
not know where his grandfather lies
hurled. Often he does o know his
full name. The habits of selishness
acquired while he is making his for
tune cling to him after he marries. Is
it wonderful that trouble often comes?
1t is a growth of the time which
must be accepted as a fact and turned
to social account, difficult as the task
may be. Probably the family in the
patriarchal sense will never be re-
stored, but the family, vital and indie
structible, is essential to civilization ;
it will outlive the chaos of selfishness.
and be the nucleus of a saner and.
stronger life.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch-

DIAMONDS AND THE POTATO.
Precious Stones Add Nothing to the
Worlds Real Wealth.

49,
Worlds Real Wealth.
The discovery in the Transvaal Of
a diamond valued at $2,50O,0OO in
spires NJ. Harduin in lie Matin to ask
whether the precious stone represents
new capital-that is, a new source Of
wealth.
"The only real capital" he says.
"is that which gives birth to new
wealth directly to the profit of its
owner and indirectly to the profit of
the community. This is what will
happen: When the company owning
the diamond sells it it will receive
money. This money it will invest and
lay by the interest. But since the
purchaser, who has parted with ST.
100000, will lay by nothing, it will
come to the same thing. The whole
operation, therefore, is reduced to a
simple shifting Of capital.
This conclusion follows: Billions
of dollars worth of diamonds may be
dug out of the earth and the wealth
of the whole human race will not be
increased by a single cent, for this
capital does not really exist. And as
nothing is gained in the way of means
of production. so nothing is gained
for the general w%ell-being. This is
not SO when iron or other metals or
coal is dug from the earth. Far truer
is it that the peasant who digs pota.
toes does far more for the welfare OF
mankind than the man who discovers
a diamond"
