A TRIBUTE TO PROF. GOODRICH.
To the editor of Tho Free Press:

The retirement Of an able and honored
professor, one who has served long and
we'll, from active service in any insttu-
tion Is a loss to that institution. His
successor may be an equally able in
structor merely, but time is necessary 20

not always an easy requirement, Expert

mantle, be passed from one to another.
Opportunities acted upon, services rem
dcrcd years lived, alone bring ripe ex-
perence and mature judgment,
Prof. J. +. Goodrich has this experience
and rhis judgment in good rounded meas
ure His resignation removes a strong
stay from the university. 1t is an in
adequate expression to say his presence
will be missed. Environments to which
the old professor has been used will be
new to his successor. The intangible con-
ditions which become wrought into long
and useful professorship cannot be quick
ly readiustcd by another as with mechani-
cal devices. The rs years OF service by
Professor Goodrich have given him a
hold upon tho work which no new man
can easily grasp and retan,-a command
upon the many and nameless conditions
OF successful teacher, which no new
man can at once assume. In these res
rccts Professor Goodrich will bc more

He is an alumnus of the university, and
IN this fact is wrapped up an influence
upon and an interest in the work and the
students which will make his absence
more keenly felt. That college, that uni
vorsity is fortunate if it can have among
its instructors and its professors a goodlY
number of It's alumni. a unity of pur-
pose and of work is thus created, which
no other interests can weaken.
The strong and salutary individuality OF
Professor Goodrich has impressed Itself
upon the university in many WAYS, other
than in his particular field Of work. His
broad and accurate scholarship and en-
iuentlY successful career as teacher,
alike reveal large natural abilities, and
together show the finished product of a
university life. Professor Goodrich put
into his daily toll his whole self and his
best service. and the memory and value
Of IL all will be his imperishable monu-

MOTHER 5 PUNISHMENT

All mothers have a tender way
With naughty little boys.
Who seem inclined 10 disohey
And make an awful noise.
Full many a whipping. mother swears,
She'll give for that and this;
But when she gets her boy upstairs,
She settles with a kiss.
How often to his room she's led
The boy who disobeyed,
And sent him supperless to bed
When temper he displayed.
How often. when she's heard him cry,
She's called; mo more Of this!
I'll come to whip you by and by"
Then settled with a kiss
Full many time I've seen her go
To use the hair brush well;
And have waited down below,
To hear the younsster yell.
But every time, it seems to me,
His troubled cries miss:
Her whppings always seem to be.
loving. goodnight kiss.
And that is ever mothers way,
So tender and so kind
With naughty boys who disobey
And will not learn to mind.
She threatens them with whippngs, and
She scolds for that and this:
But everywhere throughout the land
She ""'tles with a kiss.

A GRAVE YARD.

We walked beneath the autumn colored

Where tinted leaves lay scattered on
the ground:
In all the golden silence was no sound
Save that among the leaves our passing

Before a low stone wall our steps we
stayed.
And gazcd at many an Uncovered

Where those who learned OF life, their
rest had found,
And as a dear reward in peace were laid.

Silent, serene, untouched by passing

Oblivion, calm and peaceful, was it's

Queer Things Made From Milk.


You could build house of milk, II
you liked, and it would be as strong
and lasting as though made of Aber.
deem granite, says M. Glen Fling in
Technical World Magazine. More.
over, all the fittings could be made
Of the same substance, and they
would outlive the finest ordinary ma
terial that was ever constructed.
Billiard balls, combs, fancy boxes
and many other things are made from
the new substance, galalith, which is
made from milk.
There is really no limit to the
articles which can be made from gal
alith. It takes dyes readily and in.
ferior grades are colored. The best
remain white, however, for white gal
alith brings the highest price because
Of its similarity to ivory. The first
grade of white galalith is made up in.
to knife handles, and it brings al.
most as high figure as would so
much ivory.
Galalth is the best substitute for
ivory ever discovered, for it is smooth
to the touch, retains its soft, creamy
tinting for years, is not marred by
soap and water and, unlike celluloid,
is proof against fire. 1t does not chip
or crack like bone, and can be cut
into the most delicate shapes, being
tough and not easily broken.
In Austria something like 100000
quarts of skinned milk are used daily
for the purpose of making galalith.
and the industry is largely on the in.
crease. The article describes the
process of making this queer sub
stance.

QUEER SIDE OF JAPAN.
Odd Faith Exhibited In the Mikado's
Domains.

In Japan the lower orders of life
not only make war and supply meat,
but evince other peculiarties that rem.
der them invaluable concomitants of
civilization. A few days ago q num-
Der of people were seen gazing intent
ly toward the upper limbs of large
pine tree. Stopping to learn the Sc
cret Of this unusual interest, man
was observed descending the tree,
while crow was furiously cawing and
beating about his head; then it was
seen that the trespasser had possessed
himself Of one of her brood. an unpre.
possessing little chick that no one
could be imagined to fancy for a pet.
Asked what he intended doing with
the young crow. he replied that it
made excellent medicine for the
blood: "Chi-no-michi-no kusnri," to
use his exact words. To insure the
efficacy OF the medicine. he explained.
the bird must be taken before it leaves
the nest. If possible, or. If it has left
the nest. before 1t gets to where it
can drink water; for. he asserted. If
1t has OF itself taken water. 1t loses
all virtue as bloodcure. The pro-
cess of preparing the remedy is. first,
to kill the crow and. without cleaning
1t, to encase the body in an alright
covering of cement OF clay. The
mould is then baked for two or three
days In hot fire. When the clay
crust is removed. naturally the crow
will be found to be black. lump of
pure charcoal This is pnlverized aud
converted into pills of the pink" or.
der. which are very popular here as
blood regulator. He reminded his in.
terlocntors that the medicine was very
rare because of the difficulty of find.
Ing a crow that had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere. and
appeared extremely proud of his sue
cess in having secured the bird. He
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.
Those who. since the brilliant
achievements Of the Japanese Red
Cross Society in the late war, are &C.
customed to take for granted the ad.
vance OF medical science in this coun.
try. will, of course, bear in mind that
the practitioner under consideration
had not at this time acquired member.

much of the medicine that is sold to
a large constituency at a higher price

No consideration of the railroad
problem can be either adequate or SIN
cere that does not start from these
statistics of material growth. For they
must be translated into work for the
big transportation machine; and by the
amount of work laid upon it its opera.
tions will be determined.
Now the two Obvious facts are that
the railroad facilities of the country,
more particularly trackage and termI-
nails, have not kept pace with this as
founding development in production
and exchange of wealth. and that the
resulting embarrassment and loss are
not local, but universal.
The farmer or merchant of any CITY
or section knows the bitterness of his
own trouble and believes it peculiar,
But there is congestion on every rail-
road system within our borders. The
wheat grower of the north, the cotton
grower of the south, the lumberman of
the Pacific coast, the miner of the
west, the manufacturer of the east ami
the consumer of every state and al
most every city sign a bill OF conf
plant against car shortage, delay in
shipment and delivery, and consequent
financial loss. The figures of growth
already presented are the basis of an
increase in transportation work to be
done by the railroads which, when set
side by side with the added facilities
for performing the task, furnish a
key to the situation. The following
statistics are compiled from the Of
fetal reports of the interstate CON-
merce commission:

Strong Language Used by Pastor.

Rev. Charles w. Savidge. founder
and pastor of the Peoples church, in
Omaha, is one man who daily lives
and talks his profession of saving
souls, and he is so decidedly simple
and frank in his ministrations-be-
cause they have become his chief end
in life-that he infrequently let's slip
fine bit of humor in his serious
work of trying to make others feel
bright and happy without realizing
it.
A few days ago DR.. Savidge passed
one of the numerous Salvation Army
young women who are collecting aims
in the pots at various downtown
street corners.
Miss" said the preacher. with a
smile on his face, cts mighty cold
standing here, isn't it? But have
you thought that it beats hell q Iona
ways?"
Employers and Employed.
A short distance from the Cour.
rieres mines. where so many unhappy
events have recently occurred, there
is an old metallurgical establishment
where there has never been q strike.
and where employers and employees
are on the most friendly terms. Moth.
ing ever happens to the employers
happy or unhappy-but the workmeh
share in 1t, and vice versa. This most
happy union of good employers and
good workmen ought to be known.-Le
Figaro.
