strong tendency on the part of
college men and women Of to-day,
TO idealize persons, things and
conditions while within college
halls. They are apt to paint in
fanciful hues, pictures of ideal
conditions for society, forgetting
that the problems, which confront
them are facts and not fancies.
They are inclined TO lay down
certain rules. to which society in
general must conform, rather
than making rules which con-.
form to the already established
society. At graduation time the
young men and women are given
opportunity to express themselves
in regard to certain problems of
the day 1t is here that this
idealization is made visible. AS il
enters to a great extent into the
papers written by them.
In choosing subjects to dis
course upon. a common mistake
is made in selecting subject.
which although of great social
Importance. is unfit for one,
whose horizon is so narrow. And
it is generally conceded that the
horizon of the average college
graduate is on a pretty narrow
plane. What he says about a
subject Of this nature is but a
"rehash" of what he has read.
and naturally it is superficial. He
can place it before you in elegant
robes. but he cannot prove the
Sincerity. -r',
y A Great Question.
These few preparatory state
ments are made in an explanatory
nature concerning the subject
handled herein. In general, it is
a great question. yet it is not one
which permits of flights of fancy
or high idealization. It deals
with ordinary everyday existence
OF every man. woman and child
Of just an ordinary town. 1t isl
question which admits of
lengthy discussion, but yet does
not require experienced minds or
any superior craftsmanship to at
test to its sincerity. There are
other social and political, ques-
tions of the day, which are Of
more interest to you perhaps, and
which would make better com
mencement paper. but they are
discussed, and rediscussed in the
magazines. periodicals and news
papers of the day by men of au-
thority and experience in a man.
ner far superior to that of any
mere college graduate. Then
probably all you would get from
the latter would be other men s
views, mutilated and rehashed,
and then called original. Again,
these great questions, while Of
Importance, do not nearly so
much concern the walfare of a |
community. They may be of
great interest, but they do not go
with you into your homes. for
they are too big for any great1
thought when the ordinary prac-
teal questions of life arise. The
big questions are all right in their
place, and by all means deserve
consideration. bnt subjects con-
corning the daily life of a com
munity are of more yalua and
their solution will bring forth |
more happiness.
The subject "Civic Pride" is
not original. II has called forth |
much comment of late, but il is a |
question which confronts you and
me every day we live. II comes
to us, and is a question not only |
for big men of mastery minds. |

Jefferson Davis.

At two o'clock Monday the unveil-
ing Of the monument to President
Jefferson Davis, of the Confederate
States of America, occurred at Rich
mond. This event was celebrated
throughout the South in manner
which has never characterized any
similar occasion. In most Of the
Southern States the occasion was OBJ
served by the stopping of all indus
trial activity for five minutes. AS the
Augusta Herald says such was fit
ting tribute to the memory of the
only President Of the Confederacy,
The memory of his patriotic service
and the suffering that he bore in pa
tience for the Lost Cause is one of
the greatest legacies that the South
holds for it's sons and daughters. JEFF
ferson Davis must be given place
in the history of America that will
ever be unique and one that is now
regarded as honorable even by those
who fought the short lived govern
ment over which he presided as chief
executive. and to him is due all the
tribute that the South may pay to
his memory.

PREDICTS DAY OF DOOM.
Last Of the Prophets" Says 1t Is
Nineteen Months Away.

Lee L. Spangler, who has styled
himself for a number of years as
"the Last of the Prophets, has is
sued another of his remarkable bull
letins. This time he is more specific
in his statements.
He now asserts that the world will
come to an end in nineteen months.
He warns all the people to beware
and look out for the dissolution of
the world.
Spangler says there will be no
more seasons; that summer and win
ter will be as one, and there will not
be any way of telling one from the
other. Snow in July need not be a
surprise, and sleigh riding is likely
to be one of the summer pastimes.
He adds:
There will be more black spots to
occur on the suns disk, and by the
latter part of 1908 the sun will be
entirely black. The earthquakes will
shake all the principal cities of the
nations. Great excursion wrecks
will occur, and there will be great
distress in the land until the end
shall come.

Railroad Disasters.

The railroad Gazette, a conserva-
tive organ of the railroads declares
that poor rails have been the cause Of
most of the recent railroad disasters;
and that as most Of the rails used by
the railroads Of the country are man
ufactured by the Steel corporation,
that concern is really responsible for
the large loss of life and great num-
ber Of injuries. The Railroad Gazette
characterizes the failure Of the Steel
corporation to properly test the rails,
as criminal willingness to manufac-
ture rails that cost human life. -
The Gazette has made an exhaus-
tive study Of this subject and sup
plies a few figures that are certainly
alarming. For instance, on the rail-
road lines in New York state alone,
during the three months ending
March 81, last, 1876 rails rolled in
1906 were broken. On the Union Pa
cifc and Southern Pacific, during the
month Of February. 449 rails were
fractured in service, 179 Of which had
been in use six months or less.
Such figures certainly indicate de-
fective manufactures, which the Ga
zette says is due to phosphorus and
impurities which collect at the top Of
the ingot made by the Bessemer pro-
cess, requiring at least one-third Of
the ingot to be cut off, which is not
done" Apparently the Gazette has
established good case against the
Steel corporation, which should in
some way be held responsible for it's
defective product.

SET FIRE TO PIER.
To Cover Shortage IN Accounts With
His Employers.

Short in his accounts and expect
ING the arrival of an auditor of his
company, George P. Decker, agent
of the United States Express com
panv at Old Point Comfort, Va.
robbed the safe in his office and set
fire to the Federal pier on which the
office was located.
In a few minute the pier house
was enveloped in flames, and the
fire alarm guns called out large
detachment of soldiers. All efforts
to save the pier house or its con-
tents we're in vain.
In the coufagration were destroy
ed the offices of the Adams Express
company, United States Express
company, Old Bay Line, New Bay
Line, Baltimore Steam Packet com
pany, Old Dominion Steamship COM
pany and other lines.
Decker was suspected and when
arrested by detectives, he broke
down and made a complete confes-
sion. He said he filled a large box
with excelsior, piled other books or
top Of it in the middle of his office
door and set fire to the heap.
Then he fed and hid himself tc
await developments. The prisoner
admits that he was short in his &C.
counts, and that he elearned an audi
tor was coming to examine his books
He tooA $50 in cash from the safe
and, it is understood placed the
books where they would be sure tx
burn. Decker is 21 years old anc
comes from Harpers Ferry, W. Va.

With such signal ability and distinc-

with such signal ability and dlstlnc-
ton.
81 beg, sir, in behalf of myself and
my comrades, the survivors Of the
Twenty-third New Jersey Volun-
teers, their descendants, relatives
and friends, whose name is legion in
this state, to tender oul most sincere
thanks for your letter, to recipro-
cate most heartily all the noble SEN
timents contained therein, and to as
sure you that we congratulate our
selves that by good fortune We hap
pen to be the first to mark in endur-
ing bronze the sentiments which we
are sure are uppermost in the hearts
of every Northern soldier for the
men who evinced such heroic bravery
in the days gone by.
81 may add that while we knew
that Gen. Cadmus Wilcox had noted
in his report Of the battle Of Salem
church how gallantly Lieut.. Col. Hill
arv A. Herbert had rallied and
fought the Eighth Alabama, after a
disabling wound to Colonel Royston,
we certainly did not know that our
country was indebted for distinguish
ed services as secretary Of the navy
to the officer whose final line Of bat
tie we could not break through.
81 hope, sir, we may lave the
pleasure Of meeting you personally,
and | shall have the honor Of calling
upon you when l am in your vicinity.
With great respect, ! am, very sin
cerely yours,

Change.

The secret Of happiness is constant
change within the limitations Of rea-
son and common sense. A rut in the
human soul is like rut in the road,
dangerous and upsetting. If we must
remain at the same tasks year after
year for nearly the whole Of life
time, then it should be our constant
effort to get all the variety we can
into our lives in other ways. The fact
that farmers wives go insane more
than any other class Of persons is at
tributed to the terrible monotony Of
their lives, which are one mceasing
round of hard work. A machine
bearing on a single point Of metal
wears out that point speedily. 1t Is
precisely the same with our lives.
One dull round Of thought, doing the
same tasks at the same hour year
after year, will break down the fin
est, strongest brain.
So get out and have a vacation. Al
least give yourself a vacation Of
thought. Read new things; walk
along fresh roads; look at new pic.
lures and new buildings. Invite
fresh new thought always to your
soul; so shall you keep always young
Be not so sure that your fondest the
ory is exactly the correct one. Stand
ing still is decay and death.
Hold the same plow handle, benc
over the same desk forty years, with
your thoughts chained down to them
and you become a bumped shoulder.
ed old hunks--blind, deaf, weak anc
disagreeable. Keep up with the wag
on. Change your old views and hab'
its for new and better ones when yor
find them, and be always on the look
out for them.

STRANGE STORY.
A Girl Says She Has Been on Visit
to Heaven.

At last, in language which only
her mother can comprehend, Miss
Prudence Won Glider, of Parry,
Iowa, who has been in a trance for
twenty-one days and who is the talk
of Central Iowa, has opened her lips
and described the land Of dreams in
which she has been living. She is
unable to talk perfectly, but uses the
deaf and dumb alphabet to assist her,
and tells of strange visit to heay-
en-
81 have been to heaven" said the
girl, and Christ is coming. My first
vision was a row of rugged crosses
marked with my new name. The
crosses looked heavy, but when I
started to lift one an angel came to
my assistance and the cross was
heavy.
II saw throngs Of riders on white
horses, with golden banners, coming
over the hills Of heaven as far as
could see. / saw twelve kinds o.

Tribute to Women.

Place her among the flowers,
foster her as a tender plant, and you
will thus make of her a tender plant,
and she becomes a thing Of fancy,
vay-wardness and folly. Sheis annoy
ed by a dewdrop, fretted by the
touch of a butteriiy's wing, ready to
faint at the sound Of a beetle or the
rafting of window-sash at night.
and is even overpowered by the per-
fume of a rose bud.
But let real calamity come, rouse
her affections, enkindle the fires Of
her being and mark her then how
strong is her heart. Place her in the
heat of battle, give her a child, a
bird, or anything to protect, and see
her lifting her white arms as b child,
as her own blood crimsons her upturn-
ed forehead, praying for her life to
protect the helpless. Transplant her
into the dark places of the earth,
call forth her energies to action and
her. breath becomes a healing, her
presence a blessing.
She disputes inch by inch the stri-
des Of a stalking pestilence, when
man, the strong and brave, pale and
affrighted, shrinks away. Misfor-
tune hurts her not; she wears away
her life in silent endurance and goes
forth with less tilnidity than to the
bridal altar. In prosperity. she is a
bud full of odors waiting for the
winds of adversely to scatter then
abroad---gold, valuable, but untried
in the furnace.

SEES MURDER IN DREAM.
Man AwakeS To Find Woman Slain
in Next Apartment.

To dream of murder and awake to
find the dream true in all its essen
Jial detail was the experience OF
William Finn, an engineer, living IN
an apartment. house at 4O3 East l46th
street, New York, Wednesday morn
ing.
The victim of the murder was Mrs.
Catherine Killoran, twenty-nine
years old, who lived in an adjoining
apartment. and her husband, James,
is held by the police on suspicion OF
having stabbed her to death. The
woman was found dead in the kltch-
en- of their fiat. There were six cuts
on the head and numerous bruises on
the body.
The victims husband. from whom
she had been living apart, called on
her Tuesday night. Peter Henry, q
neighbor, who was with the husDano
when he was found, has been held as
a witness.
Killoran denies all knowledge of
the crime. He declares that he and
his wife retired about | o'clock Wen
nesday morning, and that when he
awoke. a few hours later, Mrs. Kill
oran was net in bed. He got up and
found her dead and covered with
blood on the kitchen floor. Then he
went for Henry to tell him Of the
tragedy, and he declares he was on
his way to the police station to re-
port Mrs. Killoran's death when he
was arrested. Several occupants of
the house where the Killorans lived
told the police they heard the couple
quarrelling Tuesday night. From
Finn, who lives on the same floor,
but in the rear, they learned that
Killoran and his wife had apparently
quarrelled at II o'clock Tuesday
night. Finn said he had heard the
woman say:
Don't do that; you will kill me. y
Later he heard groans and then
went to sleep. Then Finn said he
had dream, in which he saw a man
chase a woman around a fiat and stab
her three times with q knife.

Just Like Flies.

Did you ever stand in the golden
sunlight Of a warm day with your
eyes turned upon a sheet Of fly pa
per? If so you may have noticed how
when one fly adheres to the sticky
surface, it's companions, instead Of
profting by the horrible warning,
Immediately buzz down and go to
destruction in the same manner, and
in a little time there are hundreds
in the throes Of death. They are
fools, to be sure..and so are men.
Men see their associates caught in
the nets Of vice. There are examples
and warnings all about human be-
ings, hu1 they treat them as lightly
as d. flies and step down to death
just as insanely.
