In this matter Guatemala Is doing what any other country would do under similar circumstances.
 The authorities are maintaining peace with firm hand. The enemies of the ad- mlnistraton have organized campaign to discredit the country"

MARYLAND'S SENATOR'S.

Maryland enjoys the distinction OF
having the oldest, rs we'll rs the young

which is now in session, and not the
least remarkable circumstance of this
coincidence is the difference in their re-
spective walks of life. Senator Will
lam Pinkney Whyte, Maryland's Grand
Old Man" is u grandson of William
Pinkney perhaps the Oldest lawyer OF
his day, and one who served his State
and country in many responsible posi-
tons. Senator Whyte, now in his
eighty fourth year, is still vigorous IN
mind and body and during the recent
campaign in Maryland stumped the
State with the same intensity of feeling
and brilliance Of oratory as he did fifty
years ago In his long public career he
has filled with honor every high office
within the gift of the people Of his
State Harry Wolf, the infant of the
House Of Representatives, was born and
reared under conditions just the opposite
Compelled in early life to make his liv-
ing, young Wolf sold newspapers; later
he became an Office boy, and finally
studied law This was accomplished
only through privations which would
have subdued the ardor Of u less resolute
character, but this ambitious young man
plodded on with energy, pluck and a
bility, and when little more than
twenty years of age he carried dis
| trict which for many years had been
represented by u Republican. The dis
tinguished grandson Of the illustrious
Pinkney reached out his fatherly hand
to the once barefooted Wolf, guiding
the boy along the lines Of IA useful and
honored public servant.-Leslie's Week

WHEN IS MAN EDUCATEDl

| 1t may be true, as President Woodrow

that 'the greater part of the work that
we are doing in our colleges today is
to impart information, but this criticism
inevitably suggests the question, What

that enlightenment or the unloading OF
information is one of the principal
objects of education. But IN what way
is this unloading operation to be con
Quoted save by imparting informationY
It is always interesting to discuss the
question, When is a man educated?
President Eliot is said to have answered
il W saying that man has good ed
ucation who can speak and write his own
language perfectly. Yet many of the
worlds most active intelects in depart
ments of knowledge outside of literature
would fail to come up to that standard.
What percentage of students of all
classes, it would be worth while lnqulr-
ing, are susceptible of education in Dr.
Wilson's meaning2 1t might be argued
that the advantage which distinguishes
the average man of to-day in comparison
with the average man of 1000 years ago
is almost wholly his greater sum of in
formation. Take away that information
and the ancients would not lack defend

Autograph Fiend an Easy Mark for
the Inscriptions.

w. f. Collett, secretary of the Col

in Denver about so autograph letters
from widows that he recently received
wherein each widow offered gladly to
marry one of Mr.. Collects proteges, a
reformed convict in search of a wife.
Il shall keep most of those widows
autographs" said Mr.. Collett. They
are very interesting. A collection of
autographs of such a character would
be worth having, wouldn't it? Differ
ent from the usual dull collections of
mere signatures, eh?"
He smiled and went on
"An autograph fiend who collects
mere signatures is rather fool, and
he is very easily taken in. Whenever
1 think of him | think of little story
about him.
According to this story, an auto
graph fiend walked into an old curl
osity shop and said
"'You advertise that you have au-

reasonable, should like to purchase
specimens of each of those auto
