Surprised the Ghost.

A ghost a vague white form which nitted ahont small neglected grave. yard in Galway, much to the alarm of those who lived near by, one of the gentlemen of our party undertook to lay. Going out not far from midnight, he did indeed soon become aware of a white figure looming toward him through the darkness. Our friend, however. held on his way undeterred.
 "Ghost," he said in sepulchral tones when he came near "could you drink a glass of whisky7'
 II could so, your honor," blithely re sponded the ghost, taken off his bal ance by the unexpected offer and standing revealed as the principal poacher of the neighborhood, who had availed himself of this spectral guise to set his night lines and carry on his other depredations undisturbed- woods Magazine.

Slayer and Sleiqhcr.

the first number of the Atlantic Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had a QQem called ''Rrahlna." which puzzled n9tb critics and common readers, NQme said it was the greatest poem of the century. Some said 1t was non. sense. The first verse ran as follows: If the red slayer think he stays.
 or if the slain think he is slain
 They know not well the subtle ways
 l keep and pass and turn again
 That winter it happened that a rela- tive of the poet Longfelow, living in another state, bought sleigh, and In a. family letter to the cousins in Cam bridge there was vail lest the Janu- ary thaw which had followed the pur- chase should keep them from enjoying the gay cutter that season When the letter was answered, Longfellow con- 6lpgted this verse which, 1t Is said, has never been printed before:
 TO ON THE PURCHASE OF A
 SLEIGH.
 If the red sleigher think he sleishs,
 Or If the sleigf,in think 1t is sleighin
 They know not well the subtle ways
 Of snow. that comes and goes again.

Class of 20 Students of College
Department of Augustana
Given Diplomas.
or. WHITAKER SPEAKS
Delivers Address at Commenc ement
Exercises on Undercurrent of
Secular Educ alton.

Diplomas were granted to Is young
men and two young ladies in the col
Iege department of Augustana college
yesterday morning at the commence
ment exercises held in the college
chapel. Miss Regina Nelson of Mon
mouth delivered the valedictory.
The speaker of the day was DR.. ]. f.
cred an eloquent address, taking as his
subject THE Undercurrent of Secular
Education"
Conflicts of Peace.
DR.. Whitaker began his address
with reference to Memorial day and to
the strife that existed years ago and 10
the heroes who fell in the conflict on
the field of battle. There were CON
f1icts today even greater than those
conflicts, conflicts on the fields OF
peace.
He divided his address into three
parts and in the first part spoke of the
negative criticism of science. Science
is occupied with the negative criticism
which undermines the foundations IF
evangelical truth. and in this conneC.
ton spoke of the theory of evolution
which was the undermining of chris
tian sentiments. The numerous sui
cides may be traced to this criticism of
science which causes dissatisfaction
with life and wrong idea of right and
truth. Monopolies and oppression are
its fruits.
Gospel Hope of World.
The gospel is the hope of the world
and the element that will elevate life
is christianity. 1t shows an end and
purpose of life and stimulates to the
use of the best powers and to the full
appreciation of life while science by its
criticism depreciates life. DIR. Whitta
ker pointed out the high value of chris
tan education on life and through this
education evangelical truths are spread
ind the effect is to cOunteraCt the effect
of the atheiStic doctrine, so prevalent
in this day. He applied his remarks &c
what Augustana stands for, and gave
sound words of advice to the young
people going out in life The address
was a most scholarly one and was lis
tened to with very great interest by
the large audience

SOUTH IS MECCA
Of ALL BALL.
PLAYERS
Big League Men Go With the
Birds-Northern Leaguers
in Southern Teams.

The southern country is proving a
blessing for the ball players who have
grown bit stale in the big leagues.
The climate in the south has the
effect of bringing weak arms around
until pitchers of little use in the north
pitch as we'll as ever.
Every year sees new bunch o.
oldtimers vending their way to the
teams of the southern league. gradual
ly building up that organization to a
level with the very best of the minor
organizations.
For the past four years Theodore
Breitenstein, once the great twirler OF
the Cincinatti Reds, has been doing
grand work for Charles Frank, first
at Memphis and then at New Orleans.
He is said to have lost something OF
his terrific speed, but still has the
head and control to keep them guess
ing.
In 1905 Charles Frank brought an
other oldtimer south in the person OF
SILVER Bill" Phillips. Many thought
he was all in, but he fooled them, for
he did splendid work for New Or
leans.
Down in the Little Rock department
of the southern fold many of the for
mer big ones were found last season.
thinner, once manager of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, was manager of the
Little Rock team and did most of the
catching. Frank Miller, star pitcher,
once we'll known with Pittsburg;
Douglas, who played several seasons
with the Philadelphia Nationals, and
Damman, an ex-mator Lacquer, also
were with Little Rock.
In Birmingham was found Harry
Vaughan, who was once a star back
stop for Cincinnati. He managed Bir-
mingham. Charley Babb, WHO was
with the Brooklyn team in 1904 and
1906, last season was the player-man-
ager Of the Memphis team.
