SO YOUNG. SO HRAvE. )

Inc SIOry OF n nre at COf4[i and
the way youth met death and its ter
rors can not be told in prose of the
press. Rather is 1t for those who
sing the sagHS OF modern courage to
make of it a great lay, and when the
tale is told tnx some slow chant of
bearded, d~eeHIEoiced kmen we shall
know, amid our tears, that the race
has still the viking blood coursing in
the veins Of its youth, and still Sir
Philip Sidneys to pass, in dying, the
draught Of water to th perishing
comrade just beyond.
Is The fire Which swept through and
destroyed the beautiful house of Chi
Psi Lodge on~the commanding camp
us of Cornell gave no warning. AS
near as we can know. all the students
heard the roar of flames at almost
the same moment. zach sprang to
his door, to be Contracted by5a blast
of fire. Some plunged through at
once and gained the safety of the
open air, some leaped from windows,
some traversed l%perilous lodges high
in air and clambered by ~leader-pipe
or ledge to thel s-how-covered ground
beneath. There was nothing of prop
erty saved, and an icy blast swept
from the lake, upon the unclothed
boys.
There were some who failed to
come. Either they had paused hest
tant for the critical instant, or their
warning had been a little delayed.
One was missed by his chum and
roommate. They had started to-
gether, but had been separated.
Back into the flames leaped the
boy, calling for his friend. Up the
flaming stair ~heTrushed, sought in
vain for the missing comrade, and,
finally driven toshi window, leaped, a
ball of fire, to death below. Another
searched for his roommate, and 10
lies between life, and death. Seven
freshmen in the highest stories
sought safety by clambering over
narrow coping and down by water
pipes to the ground. Each urged the
other to go first, each waited for the
other to reach the ground before i'm
periling him by a possible misstep in

out clothing, with 2. burns deeps in
hands, in arms, and blistered faces
and backs, remained to catch others
who were falling, and to help those

rades aided first, and no one would
confess his suffering to be greater
than another's..t AA0lttb5t
There was not one, Of those boys, a
score or more, who let the terror of
that awful moment make him forget
his duty to his friend; not one whose
conduct at the most dreadful moment
of his life was not such as to make
his fellow-creatures proud and thank
full that he belonged to the same race.
There have been many brave deeds,
but none nobler than those which
these young men, only boys in years,
then achieved. For there was the
same beauty of sould, the same our
age of heart in allta I'd
Are these the things our colleges
teach? Perhaps. Or, it may be just
beautiful, brave youth, and the Am
erican spirit. In any case, let us
thank God for the brave boys, and
cover the graves of the dead with the
flowers of love and devotion.

"a 01LCCnc NAaANAAAtt
David Warfield, the actor, tells the
following story Of a good spanking
that he got from his mother, which
was something of a turning point in
his career The incident happened in
San Francisco, of which city Mr..
Warfield is a native:
IF 1t had not been for a bitter
punishment melted out to me by my
mother, when | was about nine years
OF age, said Mr.. Warfield, Il might
be doing my best acts on a Aging
trapeze instead of on the stage, and
my most effective flights would have
been aerial instead of oral. AS a
youngster, the hight of my ambition
was to own a circus and to be its
bright and particular star. In fact,
| resolved that this ambition should
be achieved without further delay. So
| summoned a few of my friends, and
together we organized a circus in the
cellar of my home. My speciality was
the trapeze. We had sold quite a
number OF seats, at a bottle, a horse
shoe, old iron, pins, etc, in fact my
thing which might be converted into
cash at a junk shop after the per-
Torrance. Then the frightful thought
struck me- had no tights-what
was to be done? l crept quietly to
my mothers room and stole a pair
of her white stockings. l drew them
over my legs, onned a pair of short
trousers-and there / was.
Everything went splendidly till
my turn. Then at a crash of kettle
covers made by the solitary member
of brass ban,' | boudnced into
the ring, got on the trapeze, made of
a broomstick an d~clothesline, and
there ] swung gracefully to and fro,
for a few moments-and that was as
far as ! got with my act. My mother
did the rest. She had heard the rum
pus in the cellar and came to see
what had caused it. l can even now
remember placing my ear in her
hand. and. being lad away.
How small a thing may thus alter
the course of ones career!"

the methods OF corporate finance now In
vogue IN New York. That Europe shares
Thu distrust OF those methods n shown
by It's outcry against the misuse or Amer
lean finance bills"
Writing OF the political possibilities, Mr..
Fish says that so far as the political par
ties are concerned no crisis can arise be-
fore the presidential contest OF 1905. He
says further; II take II, however. that
your inquiry as 10 a political crisis relates
20 other matters and In that sense po-
litical crisis is due and ! think Is COM
ing on.
Indeed. it seems to me that We already
are embarked on "A long needed financial
reformation which, like the religious re-
formation of the middle ages wilt through
much cruelty work out good in the end.
To the need Of such a reformation the
public are fully awake"
The election OF Mr. Hughes, Mr.. Fish
says shows the temper OF the people in
this state and, he declares, 1t is vastly
stronger elsewhere.
The selection by Mr.. Hughesh Mr. Fish
says, OF Mr.. Keep, as superintendent of
banks proves that tho governor recog-
nizes the public demand for moral finan-
cial reform. President Roosevelt and his
cabinet, ne says, arc like-minded in this
respect.

THE TEDDY BEAR" CRAZE
HAS ALL IN ITS GRIP

More than 10000 nimble fingers were
busy all year in Germany trying to make
enough Teddy bears for the children OF
the United States. Several manufactur-
ers I'm this country tried TO help out.
College girls and society women have
taken up the fad, says the Boston Her
aid and there is no telling where lne
craze will stop. The bear1sh tone OF
State street or Wall street is nothing 10
the bearish domination OF the toy maj
ket
Toy dealers themselves cannot explain
the Teddy bear craze. But the Sedf Is
now in his second year and his hiberna-
ton has improved him.
The craze seems TO have started at At
lantic City. A child there, says one
Chronicle, saw lovable looking little
fuzzy brown plush bear in a shop WINDOW N Sor
him Ii was bear made by an OLD lLay
i'm Germany other children saw the
child with the bear, and copied. Visitors
TO Atlantic City took home with them
the bear fad, and the bear craze was IN
the saddle
The German woman who had sent the
bears over years ago, and had since tlen
been making comparatively rev, Just
enough 10 satisfy the small demand, won
dered why the American toy dealers SUD
denly sent such large orders Tor lhe
bears-Teddy bears, as Americans pesah
TO call them Immediately.
The average German toy maker supplies
orders as they come In, not caring TO keep
on hand a large stock Of g)oods with only
ephemeral popularity, so the German lady
was hard put to It, This fail she hau
more than 1000 girls at work on the Teddy
bear. and the calls for animals we're stlll
lnsstent
As many OF the ideas of the German
toy-makers come from France, and those
I'm the United States from Germany. the
American manufacturer promptly fell In
line for the bear trade Hundreds OF
bears arc being made every day In the
United states. and the issues OF the trade
Journals OF toyland carry many advertise
ments OF Teddy bears.
Some time ago man made visit after
visit 10 one of the large department stores
20 get Teddy bear for his child. He was
finally told that there would be hundreds
OF them on hand a certain morning, as
a cargo OF them was about due
lie reached the store about O'Clock or
the morning named and found that he
was barely i'm time to get one OF the few
remaining Teddies. IL cost him $50.
The Teddy bears come in all sizes. There
are little cubs which retail for as low as
s. N there is little one In stock. There
are big ones FIVE feet high.
II has been hard 20 get fair-sized Ted
DIV for less than $3.50 or g. II was hard
60 get them months ago when the big
whosesalers sold tho present Christmas
wares to tho stores. and some 90 the big
wholesalers themselves couldn't get the
Teddics in time for the Christmas trade.
