HE MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded In Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator Of Boston,
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, not asked to
address the students, as he had ex-
pected he would be. In chapel he
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps Of the president of
this college. Thou knowest that he
vas a clasmate of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class Of "a, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with-the
consent Of the trustees, as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as a friend as we'll
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
eousness and loyalty Of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight OF
the students, the visitor concluded his
prayer as follows:
And l thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students of this
college,"

A lady changed from her old way OF

"For about three years I had been

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To the Editor:


To the Editor:
/ noticed somewhere recently-I
would not say positively that it was in
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place 1t was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, it's
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there IN
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1913.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
1 noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know hat
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t SO happened also that 1 knew
white lead and linseed oil-not ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because I had just read a book
let published by a firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but the
best and purest Of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, yer if it is only a date
or a statement about wood, or brick.
or paint, or other building material.

In an editorial In which the con.
clusion is reached that President
Roosevelt will be compelled to stand
for reelection, the Anaconda Standard
(Ind. Dem.) concludes as follows:
Probably, the campaign of 1908 will,
as the result chiefly of Republican in
itiative which has already made itself
felt, bring the people up to the point
where they must say whether they
want the real. less-impetuous, better
balanced Bryan article of the genuine,

known as R0osevc!tism."

Arm6 Trust Ahead.

The Armor Plate trust has O out
in its fight with the rival Midvale
company and has been awarded M
half the armor plate contract. The
Midvale company's bid was SAT a ton
lower than the bid of the Carnegie
company and $5S a ton lower than the
Bethlehem company proposed to sup
ply plate for, but, of course, the trust
represented by the two last named
powerful interests was too potent with
a Republican administration to be
turned aside. There is some satisfac-
ton that the trust had to accept the
same price as the Midvale company of.
fered, which is 5000 a ton less than
the trust charged the government be-
fore there was competition. Whether
any dicker was made with the trust to
pay a bonus to the Republican cam
paign fund for this favor has not yet
been developed.
How the Armor Plate trust has plum
dered the government by it's extortion-
ate charges is shown in the following

MINING NEWS.

The Headlight Mining company Of
Occur d'Alene has opened mp an ex-
cellent body of concentrating ore in
the lower tunnel.
The principal event Of last week in
mining circles at Rossland, b. c., was
the finding and prosecuting on the
18th level of the Centre Star, former
ly known as the War Eagle mine, Of
a ledge of ore 20 feet in width. The
ore is of good grade. There is an in
teresting story in connection with this
important event.
The biggest deal in the history of
copper mining is being hatched at
Boston and in New York, involving
Amalgamated Copper. the Guggen-
helm and the Heinze interests. Henry
II. Rogers and Daniel Guggenheim
have been in almost daily consulta-
ton, but no announcement will be
made for some weeks. The up
shot of the negotiations is ex-
pected to be that the Guggenheims
will turn up in control of the copper
industry of the country. in which they
win be as supreme as they have been
in silver and lead.
