 durance of some of those who fought
 under him and some of those who fought against him, 1t remains thelmel-

The latter prepared a cablesram to Mme Pokotilof assuring her on their honor as Russian gentlemen. that her hus- band was being malinged by the Amer ican press; that his conduct had been most exemplary. and that he had not looked at a girl much less walked with one. It Is not known whether Mime. PokotiIoff was satisfied with this as- surance. but 1t Is a fact that a week later she appeared in New York.

In the North Central States, which
include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-

Rest,


There is a little grove Leside the
hfil
Where aspens shake and thrill,
With silver stems beneath their
shimmering green
Against the pines dark screen.
And all day long the rain unceasing
leaves,
Ripples Of light among their tremulous
leaves,
And all day long the moss against
their feet
Tufted, and starred, and sweet,
flashes in Pickering splendOr with
the crown
OF diamond drops swept down.
Through pillared arches of the forest
aisles.
Sacred untrodden miles,
The voiceless throngs in this Gods
temple dim
Bow 70 the rains soft hymn;
Walls or whose pile no axe nor ham
mer wrought
The Master-builder's thought,
Unchiseled font and granite altar
stair
Wait on the wordless prayer.
And overhead against a brooding sky
The priestly pine trees high
With lifted hands invoke on vale and
crest
Infinitudes of rest.

People of Northwest Arranging for
Cooperative Supply.
The successful organization of the
Northwestern Cooperative Coal and
Dock Company and the starting of the
work in Ashland in the construction of
a modern coal dock has aroused a great
deal of interest throughout the North
west. The movement was designed orig
inally for the Farmers Cooperative Com
pany of the Northwest, but as under the
terms of the organization no person can
secure coal except the stockholders, many
other coal consumers who have become
incensed at the arbitrary diction of the
coal combine have become members of the
company. Under the plan of OrganiZa-
ton, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska are
each to have one director, and the first
annual meeting for this purpose is to be
held in Ashland in June. The company
is organized to secure for its stOckhOld
ers coal bought direct at Independent
mines in the East, taken TO Ashland on
boats chartered by the company. thus
taking coal direct from the mine to the
stockholders without the Intervention of
any organized monopoly.

DIR. PIantg Of Lawrence Objects to
"AccessOries'' to Sport.
DR.. Samuel Plantz, president of Law
renee university at Appleton, would abOl-
ish athletic contests of every character
from the colleges and universities of the
State for three years. He is not opposed
to the athletic contests themselves, but
to the accessories, the betting and the
drinking and the college yells. DR.. Plantz
says that too much time and too much
spirit are devoted to the yells and that
they often cause hard feelings between
the colleges and universities. DR.. Plantz
says he does not intend to prohibit ath-
letic contests at Lawrence unless the
other colleges and universities of the
State should do likewise but he believes
that if all were to do away with the CON
tests until a new generation appears in
the schools stringent rules could then be
adopted which would revolutionize and
purify athletics.
