Encourage the YOUNG Poet.

Every man, woman and child should
write poetry. 1t is like boils, it pre-
vents worse sickness. If there were
more poets there would be fewer Grim
inals. Poetry is in every mans blood.
If he doesn't write it at some time or
another during his life watch out for
him. His wild oats are unsown; they
will rot in his system and sour his ma
ture. Write poetry, therefore, so long
as there is jingle in your soul, ex-
claims the Emporia (Kan) Gazette.
The man who would advise corking up
poes-J unwritten in a human heart
would soon have all the world full Of
brain storms and the devil to pay.
It's great business, this poetry bust
ness. And the man who hasn't had
his fling with love and dove and spring
and wing and skies and eyes and true
and you and girl and pearl and lips
and sips and honey drips inspected

without being hungry-he missed a

Antiquities have to give way to the
needs OF the present. The Egyptian
council of ministers has approved the
plan for raising the Assuan dam
across the Nile, a change that will in
crease by two and a half times the
amount of water that can be stored in
the irrigation reservoir. The raising
of the dam will result in the submerg-
ing of the Island of Philae and the
flooding of the ruins of the temples.
The island itself is a small granite
rock about a thousand feet long and
500 feet wide. 1t was the scene of
the worship of the goddess Isis. Many
pilgrims from various parts of the an
cient world visited the shrine when
the religion of Isis was most widely
spread The worshipers of other gods
Suilt temples near that of Isis, so that
there appeared on the small island a
splendid collection of examples of the
best architecture of the various Pc
riods in which they were erected
The enlarged dam will make possible
an annual increase of the cotton crop
of Egypt amounting TO between $1S,-
100000 and $4,000. 900 in value.

WILD PANIC AT GUATEMALA

Washington, May %. = The state
department officials are watching
with interest developments in Guate-
mala, where great confusion exists
as result of the recent attack upon
the life of President Cabrera. A
wild panic appears to have seized
upon the government of that coun-
try, and arrests have been made by
the wholesale of persons suspected
of completely in the attempted as
sassination
Philip Brown. the American
charge, and secretary of the legation
at the Guatemalan capital, has
cabled the department asking if he
might use his personal influence in
behalf of the prisoners, and Secre-
tary Root today cabled him the
necessary permission.
The department probably will be
pleased if the charge can avert the
execution of the sentences, for it is
probable that the execution of any
of these foreigners upon the evi-
dence against them will lead to for
chile foreign intervention which
might result in unpleasant comp1ica-
ticns.

talions and regiments were flocking

volunteers went Bob Bryant as cap

lars sent to Washington went First
Lieut.. Edwards, while Mrs. Edwards
went back to her old home to await
the return of her husband from the

The four years of war dragged wear

At the battle of Gettysburg Col
Bryant was temporarily in command

Hill. During the first days fighting
his command in company with all
others at that point in the line of
battle had suffered severely. With
the reenforcements of the second dav
came the regiment commanded bv
Lieut. Col. Edwards. and during the
fighting of that day Edwards fell
and was buried on the field.
The war over, Col Bryant found
the wished for opportunity to enter

c. F. Gautier, French explorer. is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the oases are
Perceptibly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in a relatively short

physical signs to show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation fiourishes
were much greater even so to 100
years ago.
AS the climate of the region has un-
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands Of years. he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that it is due to the con-
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa

him glorious humping. It was the
15-year-old nephew, only he was six
years older. Then the uncle sued for

Medical Education.

The changes of the past % years
in medical education have been moth
ing short of revolution, and yet at
conference Of medical educators in
Chicago it was stated by one delegate
that three-fourths OF the graduates
were unfit to practice medicine. The
condition OF medical education in this
country 80 years ago was almost be-
yond belief. There were medical col
leges in Chicago that graduated two
classes year. In a single town in
northern Illinois nine men were prac-
tcing medicine, OF whom two had di-
plomas and the rest were druggists,
ex-hospital stewards from the army
and men who had taken one course of
lectures. The immediate result of the
enactment of the medical practice act
was the departure of 1, 400 practition-
ers from the state, some of whom COM
pleted their medical studies, but most
of them practiced where there was
not so much law. At a conference in
Chicago the other day, says the Phil
adelphia Record, DR.. Means, chairman
of the judicial council of the Associa-
ton of American Medical Colleges.
said that the average man admitted to
practice was deficient in knowledge
of bacteriology, chemistry, physiology
and anatomy. Fifty-eight per cent. of
the men in 25 states who fail at their
final examination pass a few weeks
later. I'm the few days intervening
where do they get their knowledge?
They don't get it." They simply learn
the answers to the questions. and the
same questions are asked them at the
re-examination. Evidently the reform
of medical education, although much
has been done, is not yet complete.

similar to one he carried idly in his
hand. At one grave he noticed the
frail stan had been broken, and the
flag blown away. He stopped to
read the name on the stone 1t was:
BVT- LIEUT.. COL. WILLIAM ED
WARDS
Instantly all the old animosity OF
the years gone by returned. The man
buried here had stolen from him his
opportunity, had stolen the girl he
loved and then there came to him the
thought that this man had sacrificed
his life for the flag; that this man
had lost his life in bringing success
to himself and his comrades, and had
helped in saving them from probable
humiliation at the hands of the en-
emy
Reverently he stopped over the
grave and planted the flag he carried
beside the white stone. AS he
did so woman's voice close behind
him said:
Il thank you
He turned. 1t was Blossom Ma
than. The same Blossom, though a
sad, sweet-faced woman now, instead
Of the chit of a girl he had known
SO many years ago. The years of
exposure and hardship had changed
him so she did not know him.
1T is my husbands grave" she ex-
planned. The wind has evidently
blown the flag away, and 1 have been
looking for it, but without success
1t seemed so lonely without a flag
like the others
"Blossom!" he cried. Don't you
know me?"
The voice brought back to her the
days of her girlhood; the impetuous
boyish lover.
She gave him her hand, and togeth-
er they left that battlefield, where
hope had died and hope was born
again.
A few months later she again jour
neyed to the west to spend her life at
an army post-a soldiers wife.

of the examination Judge Coffey
has the matter under advisement.
1t may be stated with authority
that the grand jury has in mind the
returning of at least one hundred
more counts against men who have
already been indicted. The state
ment of the prosecution is that in
the several alleged briberies of the
supervisoria1 board by officials of
public service corporations, every
one of the eighteen supervisors and
the mayor himself were corrupted.
Thus far the grand Jury has return
ed counts charging the bribery of
only some of the supervisors and not
of the MAYOR at all.
The trial of Louis Glass and Theo.
V. Halsey has been set for June II.
At that time more than TWENTY-FIVE
witnesses. including the eighteen
supervisors and Rraf will be pres
