gather up their books and clothes, to
other preparations for school or col

or more years at college and who have
merely been spending their long sum-

which eventually will become their
alma mater. Their choice has been
made.
Good Colleges Here.
Minneapolis young folks, the great

are Exceptionally good. The state uni uni
versity, one Of the great schools of the
world, is so handy that it looks like
folly to pass it by to enter another
school far distant; Hamline, Macales-
ter, st. Thomas, and a half dozen other
schools of higher learning are clustered
here, and one may select any one Of
them almost at random and not be far
wrong. He will not be wrong at all if
he is possessed of an honest desire to
obtain that discipline of mind which is
the aim of all true education.

parents in selecting schools of higher
learning often overlook elements which
are essential in any school that pre-
tends to give young men and women all
they are entitled to in the way of a
liberal education.
Cities are given to Boosting of their
educational advantages. It is not an
idle boast if thereby students are at
tracted from a distance, and remain to
pursue courses of study in the UNIVERSE

conditions Of life as found in the uni

OF generations of doctors Of divinity,
sainted men of small salaries and large

offense write half the alphabet after
their names. Paul sat at the feet of
Gamaliel; he went away to school, and

DRY for the rest of his life There is

to school that is not beneficial if the
student is made of proper stuff. The
college itself is generally selected be-
cause the father attended it, or because
some relative or friend once matricu-

mended it, or because it is one of tho
recognized colleges Of the family
church. In any event, it is "the'

But the young student knows little
Of real college life until he arrives at
the college town out Of the reach of
home. 1t comes to him gradually,
after he has selected a room in a pri-
vate house, found roommate in some
young man whom he never saw or
meals, and has matriculated and been
given his examinations or assigned to
a class suited to his attachments.
Everything will be so new and strange
to him that he will probably "flunk''
the first time he is called upon to re-

house will be so different from that at
his mothers table that he viii lose his
appetite: And that first attack Of home

Those first days soon pass. Soon the
young freshman becomes adjusted to
the routine and feels that he is a part
OF the college life. He acquires the
college spirit, and thenceforth he be-
longs to that particular college, His
expansion begins forthwith. He is away
from home, and in all human probable

resident member of the family. Vaca-
lions will find him in his mothers pan

when he will not relish visit to the
scenes of his boyhood, but he is pre-

an original poem dedicated to the cold
Folks,' will be issued.

similar college who will not supply the
name, OF his alma mater and bless the
day ne entered it. He will recall the
fatherly admonition of the venerable

who taught the various branches. He
will remember with what solicitude the
morals of the students were guarded in
that sleepy college, town where young
man could scarcely 20 wrong if he
wanted to, and he will even recall with
JOY those unbreakable rules which re-

though nearly eight years have
passed since Mrs. Cordelia Botkin
was sentenced to life Imprisonment
for the murder of two women by
poisoned bon-bons mailed to them
at Dover, Della, from San Francis
co, the doors Of the state peniten-
tiary only a few weeks ago swung
open for her. Since she was ar
rested on October 1S, 1898, she has
been confined in various temper
airy prisons, most Of the time in the
San Francisco county jail. She was
removed from the Jail at her own
request, having expressed herself
as dissatisfied with the Jail &C
commodations and STIMULATING that
in doing so she did not waive any
of her legal rights.
The trial of Mrs. Botkin was one
of the most sensational on record,
and at the time the whole continent
was agitated over the story of how
murder had been done by mail. The
motive ascribed was Mrs. Botkin's
admitted fondness for the husband
of Mrs. John P. Dunning, one of
the victims. Mrs. Cummings sis

Slender, black haired, straight as
an indian, he ranked as the best
orator in Kansas. He swayed
crowds and, what was remarkable
in a state so quick to resent, never
enraged his opponents. He per-
suaded, he never abused. He at

many tragedies have marked the
history of the senators who follow

The rest is familiar-in less than

favored, squirt eyed cook, Frank
Hoffman, first were charged with
the murder Of Aggie's husband,
whose chief aim in life seemed to
have been to keep her happy and
contented.
Only once has the woman weak

Mrs. Brock, called upon her in the
Jail at Liberty, Mo-, and bemoaned
the affirmation of the death sen

minence of terrible fate seemed
to impress her for the first time.
Protesting HEIR innocence, as usu-

circumstantial evidence, backed by
the confession of Hoffman, she
sobbed with tear stained cheeks an
appeal for help, the first she has
made.

me than the men. I don't see how
they can act so. never would

But, yielding to the entreaties Of
her mother, Aggie Myers penned
ITO the Women" her cry for help.
Mrs. Myers always has maintain
ed that negro burglars slew her
husband and that she tainted while
he was fighting them. Hoffman
says he and Aggie wanted to mar
ry and decided to remove the only
obstacle. Here is the story ofsthe
crime, as accepted by the law:
Myers was at home sick in bed.
The woman let Hoffman into3 the
house at midnight, and the scheme
was for him to brain Myers with a
single blow. But it glanced off,
and Myers fought like a demon.
