University college. Early In life he
was auctioneer to the sheriff of Derby
shire, which post he gave up in order
to study for the ministry. He has Wis
tied the United States several times
and is the author Of several books and
many religious papers. In 1903 a lung
affection caused him to make a long
sojourn in the Alps.
He is an athletic type Of man, and
his manner reminds many of President
Roosevelt. 1t is told of DIR. Aked that

ate of Pembroke chapel, Liverpool, he
went fishing at 8 o'clock one morning
and, finding a suit of clothes on the
bank, jumped In to save a supposed

As a result of the incident Pembroke
chapel on the morning that DR. Aked

preacher who had gone fishing at 3
a. m. and who had jumped into the
water to save a man.

This description of Deacon" House,
a writer on the Topeka Capital, is
given by Editor Amrine of the Council
Grove Guard: House grew up on a
Kansas farm. He reminds you of the
old school definition of a line, ANY
thing having but one dimension,
length He is six feet two inches, the
latter being waist measure He isn't
thin; he is just simply a wafer, and it
is the nature of waters to have no
thickness. House is the first and orig

German court has rendered the
rather singular verdict that the COLI
sion between the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
and the British Royal Mail steamer
Orinoco last December was due to ex-
cusable errors on both sides" Thir-
teen persons were killed and fifteen in
jured by the accident. Had the court
found the collision due to lnexcusable
errors on both sides it would have d.
vided the blame into two equal por-
tions. But this verdict reduces the
blame to a minimum and then divides
that.

Can anything be more pleasant in
the busy hum drum of after years than
to permit your minds to wander back
to the days of school life; the
sweet memories and incidents that
will come up, the smiling faces
and pleasant countenances; the old
school house door that has so often
admitted you, swinging back and
forth on its hinges, the very walks
speaking forth Of happy hours; while
at your side STANDS the noble teacher
who watched your every move and was
as much interested in your success as
you were yourself. AS these
reoollections come back to you whose
school lives have been spent in this
community, your eyes will moisten rs
you realize those days are now gone
forever. Never again will those days
return. You who for so many
months and years have been like one
family and participated joyously
together in the school room and play
ground have doubtless pledged loyalty
and faith to the school. You now
step out of school life into life's
school and will be scattered far and
wide, but the memories of your school
days will ever form the brightest link
in your chain of thought.

The quiet fidelity with which a
woman will dishwash her life away
for her husband and children is a
marvel of endurance. Here is the
servitude of women heaviest, no soon
er is her work done than it requires to
be done again. Men take jobs, work
on them, finish them, and they are
over for good and all. The prospect
of ending them and drawing pay for
the labor is allnring, but no such
allurements are held out for the wife.
She washes Monday after Monday the
same garments until there is nothing
more of them to wash then they are
replaced by others of new material
just like them, and the rubbing and
wringing goes on forever. She mends
the stockings with tireless fidelity,
the same holes meeting her gaze week
