CBeing part of Genesis KID i And the whole nation was of one language and one speech. ] And il came to pass as they were | doing well enough, that Andrew Car negie arose and asked. "wherefore do We not spell our words as they are pronounced?"
 And they said to one another Let us be deaf to his unwise counsel. lest he confuse our tongue" But he was too rich and they heard him. And the reformers. having nothing else on at the time, fiocked to him and held up his hands. saying. This man has all kinds of dough, let us follow | him"
 And there began to appear very cur iously spelled words. which amused the people for time and then disappeared utterly. Whereupon the nation had great relief and exclaimed. "Thank Heaven! we are still one people. one language and one dictionary"
 And it came to pass that the sum- mer came. and MT. Roosevelt took his big stick and stole away to the sea shore. And he chased whales out of the bay and set his heel upon the head of the sea serpent until he tired of such commonplace diversion.
 And he said, Behold the people are one, and the all speak one language; and now it is very dull and my name isn't in the papers
 Let us go down. Loeb, and confuse their language" And they went down and did confound their language. even as MT. Carnegie had urged. And those of the people who knew how to spell cried out with great wrath. and those who didn't were glad, saying. "Goodie," Now nobody can spell
 Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the President did there confound the language of the nation.

ROCKEFELLER AND THE NEWS
 PAPERS.

It will not please the muck-rakers to
 hear that they are not to have the pleasure of undertaking MT. John D. Rockefeller on the witness stand in the Standard oil litigation now being con- ducted in Ohio. MT. George H. Phelphs. the special counsel of the government, who is aiding the state of Ohio in its prosecution of the company, says he will use his influence against forcing MT Rockefeller to testify in person. The sleuth reporters and the camera fiends. who were assigned by certain eminent and socailed respectable news papers to follow MT. Rockefeller when he recently made a hurried trip to Eu rope to attend the sick bed of a daugh ter, will please take note that their detestable example does not seem to be worthy of imitation by at least one of the governments attorneys. Decent people will respect the sensible judg meut of MT. Phelphs. Mir. Rockefeller has said that he has not been in the Standard Oil building for a number of years. and has but little or nothing personally to do with the operations of the company for d long time. His val ue as a witness in the proceedings. therefore. remains to be disclosed Leslie's Weekly.

ance of the traffic passing through tine exchange requires the steady head ana hand of a more experienced man, and the bluejacket's place is generally ta- ken by an electrician.
 When the ship is playing at war on the high seas. the exchange is a verit- able nerve center. Messages - every one of them playing an important pat in the marine drama being enacted lroundabout-come and go in steady stream. Each division in the ship re- ports through central when 1t is ready for action. At the other end of the little room. opposite the switchboard, stands a yeoman ready to shout mes sages through a megaphonic speaking tube to the coming tower or to the bridge when the din is at its height and orders need to be repeated or con- firmed. Movements have to be made in jiffy and the telephone line carries d message with lightning like speed. In the officers apartments are Bell | telephones closely resembling the ia miliar wall set. In exposed places and wherever economy of space is necesy sary. the telephone is a combination device, transmitter and receiver in one piece. which fits into a watertight box. The lines that stretch all over the ship are encased in watertight pipes. the better to insure their steady working order
 Sometimes, in addition to the pay stations. telephone connections with shore are made by running trunk lines from the yard exchange to the switcn- board on the ship. The switchboard on the Rhode Island has accommoda- tions for three such trunk lines.

COUNCIL TAKES AcTIoN
Passes Resolution For Big Cut On The
Bale Hill Parking Must Go Also.

Last night the city council passed
resolution to establish a new grade
on the Bale hill. We think this is
the fourth grade that has been estab-
lished. The new resolution provides
for big cut which includes the park
ing on both sides of the street
There is much feeling about the mat
ter, and there are charges of bad faith
atioat. Some of the prettiest streets
of Denison are those where the park
ings and walks are above the street
level and for our part we think it is
working an undue hardship to ask that
the parkings on North Main street
should be torn up for the fourth
time. We hope that some compro-
mise may be affected by which all
parties may be satisfied, if not, it
promises to be a very expensive
matter for the city when the actual
work of changing the grade begins
The street should undoubtedly be
cut, but we think it would be better
to leave the side walks and parkings
alone.

Denisonite who will not allow his

that as money making enterprise
the college has never been success
and in these days of endowed schools
it never can be.
Each year the business men have
gone into their pockets so that the
college might be maintained. This
year they have taxed themselves
heavily for other projects and one
liberal man has come to the rescue
to relieve them of this contribution.
The amount given to meet the deficit
to date is something over $4,000.

He WAS FOUND DEAD4
John Mcsorley of Manila Found
in Field Unconscious
DEATH QUICKLY ENsuEs
Heart Failure Causes Sudden Death
of Wealthy Manila Farmer. Funer-
al Services Tomorrow

Yesterday afternoon neighbors
found John McSorley, wealthy
bachelor farmer who lived four miles
west of Manila, lying unconscious in
a plowed field on his farm. The
neighbors were attracted by seeing
his team wandering aimlessly in a
clover field, dragging disc harrow.
The track of the disc was followed
and it lead to plowed field where
the unfortunate man was found un-
conscious but still alive. A physician
was called at once while immediate
efforts were made to revive him, but
long before the physician had arrived
the body of John McSorley was cold
in death.
There were no marks on the body
to indicate that he had been injured
either by runaway accident or by
foul play. The team was not excited,
and evidently when their driver fell
they walked over to the nearby field
of clover. Mr.. McSorley had been
in Manila for the week prior to his
death On Tuesday night he stayed
with his brother-in-law Frank Slater.
He went to his own farm on Wednes-
day and evidently started to work
after dinner. That he had just en-
tered the field is shown by the fact
that no work had been done.
Mr.. McSorley was bachelor and
was about forty-six years of age.
He had numerous relatives in this
county, leaving six sisters and one
brother to mourn his death. He was
accounted well-to-do. On May 9Th
he called upon Manila attorney
and had will drawn, but this he
never returned to sign.
The funeral services will be held al
the Catholic church in Manila to-
morrow, Friday, afternoon. Strick-
en- thus suddenly in the prim of life
he has many friends to mourn his un'
timely end.

THE YOUNG LADIES SCORE
Queen Esther Circle Pleases All With
Entertainment At College Chapel.

The Queen Esther Circle which is
rapidly coming to the front as one of
the most active of our church societies,
gave an entertainment at the college
chapel last night which proved
great success in every way. Some
of Denison's best talent delighted the
audience with songs, music and
readings during the first part of the
program while the second Part con-
sisted of costume play in which Miss
Myrtle Saul and Miss Palmer took
leading parts. 1t was the story of
dream in which those in need of mis-
sionary effort from all parts of the
earth appeared. These representations
were splendidly taken and the cos
tunes were delightful. The circle
annexed some $50. as result of the
entertainment and is justly proud of
its achievement. 1t is contained by
some that the program was too long,
but this is high compliment to the
participants as the enthusiastic audi
ence insisted on repeated encores.

OUR NEW COURT HOUSE.

The teamsters of Denison were
kept busy all week hauling steel ma
terial for the tower and domes of the
court house, and Mr.. Fastje moved
in the fine furniture for the court
room and offices. 1t looks as though
the final construction is being pushed
and it is sincerely hoped that it will
be all completed by July 4th, so that
the people who come to Denison to
celebrate will have an opportunity to
see this elegant structure.
