Princess Of Myths.

Princess Pocahontas, the red
Indian girl whose skeleton was
supposed to have been unearthed
the other day at Gravesend, might
we'll be christened the princess of
myths.
For of all the romantic stories
that have gathered, in the course
of 400 years, about her name,
scarce one has any foundation in
fact.
She was not even princess.
Her father, Powbatan, was merely
Il subchief OF small and rowing
band of sayages.
The most romantic reported epi.
sode in her career was when she
was supposed to have saved from
death at the stake the famous Capt.
John Smith, by interposiDg her
own body between that of the
white captive and his would-be
executioners. But this story was
invented by Smith after the appear
ance of Pocahontas III England.
Neither is it true that she offer
ed her hand to Smith in marriage.
She was, in fact, already married
to the chief Of neighboring tribe,
from whom she was treucherously
stolen by certain Samuel ArgaIl.
As ransom, seven white captives.
with some muskets, axes and other
goods, were sent into the English
camp, according to agreement.
Argall kept both the ransom
and the girl. and presently. grow
ing tired of her, gave her to one
John Rolfe, who had her baptized
in the name cf Rebeeca, afterwards
going through form of marriage
with her. Rolfe brought her TO

State University opens Early.
Increased Number of Students
Necessitates Opening
September 9th.

In past years the University OF
Missouri has opened for the regu-
lar nine months session about the
middle of September. This year,
however. the Beard of Curators has
decided to devote the week begin.
ming with Monday, the 9th of Sep
tember, to the opening Of school
work for the fall and winter, the
admission and enrolment of stu
dents, the arranging cf classes,
etc
There has been in:the past much
Inconvenience caused by the stu
dent who struggled in late, and
some registering as late as six
weeks after the date set for the
opening. This practice will be
curbed, if possible. by the imposi-
tion of penalty Of s. upon each
and every student who registers
later than The end of the first week
semester, and by denying credit to
those who enter after, October 18th
in the first semester, and after
March 1st in the second semester.
Exceptions are made fol the stu
dents known as ''hearers" who OBJ
tain no credit for their work, and
for these who come to take the
short courses offered in AgricuI-
ture each winter.
During the summer reports have
been heard that the University
would not open until the 18th of
September, but these reports arc
unfounded. Although six day
schedule of class room work will
still be maintained in large part,
as fast as possible the work will be
SO arranged that only five days of
each week will be devoted to class
es. When this five.day schedule
is perfected, Saturday will be left
free. Partly owing to the intro
duction of this new arrangement.
and partly owing to the hundreds
of new students who will flock TO
the University this fall, the open
ing day has been announced as the
9th day of September. The Of
ticers of the University are very
deslrous OF having all prospective
students, rs well as old ones who
are to return to school, take notice
OF the date of opening, and make
special effort to avoid incurring
the penalty of IS imposed for late
registration. Address all inquir-
les to the President of tho Univ er-
si,y, or to Merrill Otis, Publisher
of the University of Missouri,
Columbia. Mo.

The Roosevelt policy.

President Roosevelt has defined
his position in language that ad-
mits of no confusion. The per-
formances of his administration
have made clear his position on
the public question of greatest
current interest, and his speech of
yesterday is confrmatory Of that
attitudes de6niteness.
Popular sympathy with the
President has grown with each
week of his incumbency. He has
a stronger following among the
people than history recalls for any
other President at any time. Even
the South, which has had its quar-
rels with Mr.. Roosevelt. is now
his friend. In sn election held to-
morrow, the President would carry
some part of that region of Demo
cratic solidity.
Mr.. Roosevelt is said to be i'm
pulsive. An honest impulse sell
dom goes far wrong. Mr.. Roose-
welt is said to be erratic. He has
made a fine score for wild marks

a spectacular. So are the constella-
tions. Mr.. Roosevelt is said to ad
vance a policy that means business
disaster. The prosperity of the
country says no. Mr.. Roosevelt.

There are none so blind as those

There are none so blind as those
who will not see, but it is evident
that the brewery interests of St.
Louis, with single exception, has
its eyes open and anxious to see
where events are leading them.
The brewers have decided not to
cell beer to any saloon-keeper who
perslsts in breaking the states
laws for the regulation of the
liquor traffic. Missouri is ap-
preaching dangerously near to
prohibition, not through the eff.
forts Of the temperance people,
but because of the defiant attitude
against the laws that the retail
liquor dealer assumes. The brew.
ers see where the thing is leading
and are getting on the anxious
seat, az well they may. In ST.
Louis county there is now oper
defiance of certain liquor laws
with one Mark Gumberts (thal
name sounds to us like a cross be-
tween a crouch and a bucket Of
sude), a tough saloon keeper in th.
spotlight of the lawless element
Gumberts poses as a bigger mar
than the governor of the state-he
says he has the latter beaten id th'
fight to keep the ''lid' on. Thi'
paper is no Folk sheet, but whoever
is governor of Missouri represent
thesis and the state has Ger
tain dignity to uphold that it can
not debase to the pull of men lik'
Gnmberts.

Digging into Jericho.

Professor Sellin's excavations
on the site of the ancient city of
Jericho are yielding unexpectedly
rich treasures. In his last letters
to the Vienna Academy of Science
the professor writes that over 100
men arc digging at five different
points. One of the most interest
ing finds is the historical city wall,
built of burnt lime bricks. 1t was
some 10 feet in thickness, rising
from stone foundation. On the
western side the wall was nearly
40 feet in width. At another point
a private house was found built
over another house Of the still ear
lier epoch. Other discoveries in-
clude lamps, plates, cups, needles,
Weights, mortars, and mills OF
bronze and stone, some of very
rough and primitive handwork
and others very finely executed.
In the inner city remains of rows
of houses have been uncovered.
The ancient Hebrew lettering
proves that the old Hebrew characs
ters were in use. Professor Sellin
hopes to renew the excavating
work next winter. In the meau-
time he says that the work already
done has opened up wealth of
material for. the student of the pre-
IsraeIite and Canaanite period.

Mental Messages.

Are you a sensitive? There is no
doubt that some persons are so Or
ganized as to make natural sensitives.
They have remarkable intuitive power,
which means that they receive i'm
pressions easily. Supposing two SEN
sitives to be closely related to one an
other or drawn together by bond of
sympathy, and supposing them TO be
in different parts of the world, and
the life of the one to be in danger,
the first thought he would project into
space would be for his distant friend.
If that friend is actively engaged at
the time the message may be lost, but
If he happens to be in a passive state
his brain will receive some impression,
clear or confused, which will make
him think of the absentee and render
him anxious, as if something had gone
wrong with him. Such messages are
more common at night, because we are
less preoccupied than during the day.
BY means of this wireless telegraph an
image is produced on the brain which
is projected outward, causing the alb
sent friend to be seen as If in the
body, and even the actual circum-
stances of his dangerous position may
be produced. Thus saith DR.. Bernard
Hollander Of London.
