In another murder trial evidence was In

The weather bureau saved the coachman

years ago. burglary had been attempted
in the house, and the occupants were GER

the nearby stable. The circumstantfal evil

the man, when his lawyer called on the
weather bureau records and proved that
shortly before the time of the burglary
there had been very violent thunderstorm.
The policeman who had arrested the man
shortly after the attempt admitted that his
shoes were not wet or muddy at the time
and the jury acquitted him honorably. Lat
err the real culprit was caught and proved
to bear a strong resemblance to the ac-
cused man.

Achieve Some Material Success.

II want each man here who Is graduating,
each girl here who is graduating. to feel
that in the first place he or she must be
able to keep himself or herself. You men
here who are going into the law, into medi-
cine, you who are going to teach. your first
duty Is to achieve so much of material sue
cess as will enable each of you to keep him
self and to be a help and not a burden to
those dependent upon YOU Probably there
are several of your number to whose fami-
lies your college years have meant consider
able sef-denial so that the son could get
the advantage of education. The man to
whom so much of practical family affection
has been given owes 1t not only to himself
but to those who must be far dearer than
himself to achieve the material success
that will Justify their self-sacriice as well
as his effort. l would not for one moment
say to any man that he must not regard
material success. On the contrary. he must
regard it. The material well-being must be
the foundation stone in his career: he must
pull his own weight first before he can be
of use to any one else.
The President said there must be in the
first place the foundation of successful ef-
fort. the ability to earn a little more than
your keep, before you can count for any
thing else In life. IF man builds Ill on
the foundation" the President continues
then it would be better that he had not
had In him the power to achieve material
success at all. As soon as you have
means your ability to hold your own, then
you are false to the teachings of your alma
mater, you are false to every worthy tradi-
ton Of the social and religious life If you do
not In good faith turn to with the resolute
effort to make those who are not as well OF
as you are little bit better because OF the
exceptional opportunities that you have en-
joyed."

We are never going to come quite up to the
standard. and 1t is necessary that the stand
