MISS DEANS MISSION
To OUR JAPANESE

The Los Angeles Times says: Los
Angeles is proving an attractive head
ing-off place for missionaries this
spring Most of them are en- route to
the great centenary celebration of mis-
sions in China, and some others take
advantage of the opportunity TO accom-
pany the party to other fields.
Miss Almira Dean, one of the latter
class. arrived here on Sunday, and
went north last night, after spending
the day with friends on West Twen-
tieth street. She is en- route to Homo
lulu and will sail from San Francisco
with Bishop Cranston and his party.
Miss Dean was disappointed at not be-
ing able to remain here a day or two
longer. to attend the Methodist BAN
quet tonight, and then accompany the

compelled to go through yesterday.
An interesting circumstance in con-
nection with Miss Deans mission to
the Japanese in Hawaii is related by
Mrs P H. Rodkin. who was in at
tendance at the conference in Lincoln
last fall when Miss Dean was ap-
| pointed to the work. II was one of the
| last official acts of Bishop Hamilton.

viously. returned from Japan. where
she had been for six years, and had

little learning is dangerous and the
profound scholars of yesterday have
few peers. The advantages being
greater today than ever it is reasonable
to expect that modern standards be
higher. However, who can argue that
snch is virtually SO? Modern cant is
intoIerable to enlightened persons!
Hypocrisy is pervading the sacred
places of our land! The government
is constantly contending with capital

language, and then there are enough
irregular verbs to reach from here to
there, or from Minnesota to Wisconsin.
l once read in Spanish book two
sentences which impressed and in
spired me and they are still urging me
on. Here they are: sEl estudio de las
lenguos es util" (the study of languages
is useful and, "Conoiene a los hombres
instyuirse." lit is mans interest to ac-
quire knowledge
The study of languages might not
interest you or your neighbor, but it is
worth while cultivating the habit OF
devoting few moments daily or night
ly to self-improvement in some line of
study. 1t helps to form an asset, and
indeed it develops into an asset, which
may form safeguard against rainy
day or SOME of life's vicissitudes; and
besides, it makes us better thinkers
and more competent in our chosen
occupation. In case our position goes
up i'll an airship or our business gets
tangled up in cyclone, it is good
thing to know something about some
thing else. And just think of the vicis-
situdes, the DOWNS and UPS and DOWNS
of life. Once upon q time was sit
ting at my desk at division headquar-
ters of one of the great transcontinen-
E tai railroads, untangling the kinks in
network of trains some two or three
hundred miles away. A friend, who
had been advanced to the position of
chief train dispatcher and train master
sat just behind and to one side with
his feet upon his own desk. had
about ten or fifteen minutes of partic-
ularly strenuous work with that par
ticular bunch of trains. My friend
was silent and idle, but was evidently
listening to the click OF my Instrument.
for, when / finished that part Of my
4 work, he congratulated me on the
orders l had just issued, "but," he
added, "Pll never do any more of that.
1 am glad that I'll never have to do
any more train dispatching." And
why should he do any more of such
work? He had been advanced out of
the ranks, and his record was such
that it was almost natural to suppose
that he would be made superintendent
in course of few months. But with
in about one year he was on another
road working his eipht.hOur "trick" as
train dispatcher; and in another year
he haG gone to third road as tele-
grapher, working eleven or twelve
hours day, for about ne-third OF the
salary he was drawing when [ had
known him.
Such are the downs and ups and
ups and downs of life. Let's avoid the
downs in the future. Let's get up
and stay up. The study habit will help
some 555l.

Better Than the Music.

In one of the Australian mining
camps IN the old days there were no
women and children, only the hard,
horny handed men who fought with
the earth in the attempt to wrest from
it the yellow gold. To the camp there
came a band of wandering musicians,
and with the band were the wife and
baby of one of the members. A grand
concert was planned in the big saloon,
and fine dashing program was given.
But in the midst the baby began to
cry.
In an instant tall Irishman was on
his feet.
"Shtop the music" he commanded.
"shtop the music and let's hear the
blessed baby Baltimore Ameri-
can.

The Study Habit.

Philistine magazine for September the
first thing l saw was this question::
"When does education end 7" The
question was followed up by dozen
or fifteen lines saying: "William E.
Gladstone could find time mid the
stress of the home rule campaign and
the Khartoum Expedition to keep
up his practice of translating Greek.
Carlyle, to rest him of an evening,
would get out his geometry and brush
up on few propositions. When Gov.
Hughes of New York travels he puts
his algebra in his grip. With strong
men education never ends, and with
them graduation is an imaginary point.
The man who has given up studying
has commenced to declire. Work the
waste ends of your time up into an
education. You can DO it."
For some years / have felt that a
man who has not acquired the study
habit is missing one of the greatest
pleasures of life. And this study habit
is SO helpful in aiding us to develop
into more complete men in any and
every line Of human endeavor. The
study habit does not mean that we
should necessarily take course of
certain studies under teacher, but it
means that we can easily get our think
machines trained to point whereby
we may find real and decided pleasure
and profit in assimilatlng the more
wholesome portions of the literature,
ETC., within easy reach. However little
schooling man may have had, if he
has learned enough to enable him TO
read column in q newspaper or a
page in book, he can acquire fairly
good education. Haven't you many
times been struck and struck hard

Sweet.
Most OF the letters were dated from
New York and Boston and several OF
them were replies to letters or tele-
grams urging him to return to Idaho.

In another letter Sweet gave the
amounts he was Gin" on the timber
deal. The total amount was about

by himself and Steunsnberg. Shortly
after this Sweet wrote to his attorney

when Henry s. Workman,

The facts are" said Mr.. Calhoun,
that Mr.. Luther Brown, who Is law
yer OF Los Angeles, and one of the asso-
ciate counsel OF my defense, was attack
cd by the Bulletin, which printed an
Infamous story concerning him in con-
nection with an alleged attempt to kid

"Mr. Brown swore out warrant In

take him to Los Angeles. 1t was but

II is further pointed out by Browns

Anything to Secure Immunity-Monsy
Advanced to Dummies.


Boise, Sept. 26.-The first sensation
In the trial of United States Senator
William E. Borah came late Yesterday.
when Albert Klanop Nugent, the sec.
ond witness produced by the govern
ment, admitted on cross examination
that he committed perjury in taking
out timber claim, admitted that be
had been promised absolute immunity
by an officer OF the Federal government
for testifyins, admitted that at the re-
quest of the Federal officer he had
sworn to a complaint against a man
whom he did not know, and last pro-
claimed that he believed it to be part
OF his bargain for immunity that he
should swear to any comlaint against
any person, regardless Of any know
ledge that he might have as to the per-
sonn's guilt. When the name Of the
Federal officer who induced him To
sign the comlsint was asked by Borah's
counsel, the witness swore positively
that be could not remember it.
Tho day was given over to the intro
duction Of a mass Of papers on file in
the land office at Boise relative to 81
alleged fraudulent claims, and to the
evidence Of two men who said they re-
ceived money from John R. Wells,
with which to prove up on their timber
land claims. Wells is one Of the men
indicted with Borah. Counsel for the
latter did not object to this testimony,
on the understanding that the trans
action in question would ultimately be
connected in some way with the sen-
ator on trial.

Wilford b. HogsAtt said to the contra
II y, Tom Gale. Iong-term delegate
to the national congress from Alas

claring that 90 per cent OF the residents
Of the northlsnd are anxious for home
rule and are standing on their derran.:
for some sort OF legislation by the ma
tional lawmakers whereby Alaska cha II
be- freed from the chains which nov
hamper her progress.
Gale has been all over the territory
and has kept In touch with the poll.
ticians and with the citizens. The
primaries were just over when Gale left
Nome, and he says that the majority
cast for home rule WAS practically
unanimous. He has with him q rough
draft Of bill which will be introduced
Into the next congress by United States
Senator Samuel II. Piles and which, 1t
Is hoped, Will become a law. II 1t doee

While Delegate Gale does not 90 into

that the governors oft repeated asser-

rule in Alaska are creatures Of his cwn
