Pensions for College Professors.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 One of the most important and hope full signs of the times Is the growing recognition of the fact that liberal pro- vision should be made for the old age of college professors. The largest sal aries of the teaching profession are not comparable to the financial returns that eminent talent commands when 1t is devoted to the activities of busi- ness. The intellectual gifts and un- worldly aims of great scholars and in spring teachers are not usually at tended by an undue tendency to the kind of thrift that makes sure of laying up something for the future. Those who are constitutionally money-makers do not as a rule devote themselves to literary or even scientific pursuits When adequate retiring pensions are provided those of the highest gifts will be encouraged to remain, knowing that In their old age they will be provided for, and those who have passed the maximum of their power and useful ness can be superannuated without in justice or hardship. Wholly and emi- nently commendable is John D. Rocke- feller's gift of $3,000,000 as a pension fund for superannuataed professors of Chicago university. Munifcent as the sum is, 1t is none too large for it's pur- nose

Pipe Opium is Not Drug Opium.

From the New York Times.
 People who have read of the present war against opium in China have asked me lately" said the drug importer, whether the stopping of it's cultivation there would not seriously shorten our sup ply for medicinal purposes. Very few seem to understand that the Chinese smoking opium which Is raised in India and China, is an entirely different article from the opium of the drug market. That comes almost wholly from Turkey. though there is little from Persia too. Smyrna is the center of the trade. The duty on Turkish opium is only a dollar a pound. while that on the opium of Chinatown is s6 a pound. phat would be sufficient to prohibit much importation. Besides, the smoking variety is of very inferior strength, yielding not more than or 5

A Kind Word for Poetry.

From the Emporia CKan.) Gazette.
 Every man, woman and child should write poetry. It is like boils; it pre- vents worse sickness. If there were more poets, there would be fewer crim- inals. Poetry is in every mans blood. If he doesn't write 1t 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 nature. White poetry. therefore. so long as there is a jingle nyour soul, The man who would advise corking up poetry unwritten i na human heart would soon have all the world full of brainstorms and the devil to pay. It's a great business. this poetry business.

 There would be a good story in tragedy that occurred in HelPs Kitchen, a tough locality of the Westside, the oth- CT day if the truth were known. The police call it the trunk murder because the body of the victim, an American priest, was found doubled up in a trunk four days after he had been slain. The police knoY that the murder was com mitted by two young Armenians who had occupied the room where the body was found. They had left the grewsome thing there as baggage pledged for their un paid room rent. But why was the ap parently inoffensive old priest murdered the motive-that is the question. Some months ago a priest in his cups gave away the secrets of band of Armenian revolutionaries who were plotting in New York. An, that is it, says the lover of the weird tale. There is nothing to bear out the theory, yet 1t is interesting and not improbable. Whether it is true or not it Is worth recalling that it Is con sistent with conditions usually little con sidered In New York Plotters we have with us always. Says the World:
 'Armenians do meet here and plot Turkish spies are net the only one that watch them. The Central American states have here their conspring friends and cunning enemies. Cuban revolutions were, perhaps are, planned in New York secret rooms. Polish, Hungarian and Russian patriots gather in quiet places to discuss or promote home possibilities We are never without South American plotters Chicagos Cronin murder and the local plots against the Italian gov ernment show how ancient enmities thrive on the new soil. The vexed questions have been agitated in darkest Mott street of Chinese reform and, rumor has de- clared of drilled men to fight for 1t. There are always anarchists who gather together.
 ''These plotters of many nations and many ideas form curious part of the sub-surface life of New York"
 The New York business man is ever. striving to utilize every minute of time The latest agitation along this line Is for stenographers on the municipal ferry boats that ply between Manhattan and Staten Island. Staten Island is a home of beautiful residences that have been built by Wall street and mercantile men. The trip each way takes about forty minutes and the contention is that if there were stenographers on board these men could save time by dictating their correspondence going to and from busi- ness. The naive suggestion was made at a meeting called to discuss the ques- ton that it would be well to have the young lady marine stenographers well se- cluded on the boats lest their labors should be interfered with by men folk who would be drawn by other than the time saving attractions of the scheme. Another suggestion was made that with lady stenographers on the ferry boats the attractions of Staten Island as a resi-

Despite the supremacy of the auto the horse has his day in New York occasion ally. Decoration day brought the inning of the honest work horse, when more than 1000 of them paraded through the streets of the city under the auspices of the Womans Auxiliary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Prizes were awarded in a number of classes, ranging from awards for horses in service more than twenty years and prizes for the best teams of four or more horses.

Edgewater Park, N. J., May 23, 1907. Col the Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, Wash
 ington, D. c.
 Dear Colonel Herbert-It has surely fallen to the lot of but very few men in this world, ever to have received, from n brave and gallant foeman, forty four years after battle such splendid letter as 1 have the honor to acknowl- edge from you, and moreover, to have received it unawares from one who. after the war was over, served a re-uni- ted country in one of It's highest offices with such signal ability and distinction.
 l beg. sir, on behalf of myself and my comrades, the survivors of the Twen- ty-third New Jersey Volunteers, their descendants, relations and friends, whose name is legion in this state to tender our most sincere thanks for your letter, to reciprocate most heartily all the noble sentiments contained therein, and to as- sure you that we congratulate ourselves that by good fortune we happen to be the first to mark in enduring bronze, the sentiments which we are sure are upper most in the hearts of every northern sol dier, for the men who evnced the cour- age of their convictions by such heroic bravery in the days gone by.
 I may add that while we knew that Gen. Cadmus Wilcox had noted in his report of the battle or Salem Church how gallantly Lieut.. Col. Hilary A. Herbert had rallied and fought the Eighth Ala bama after disabling wound to Col onel Royston, we certainly did not know that our country was indebted for dis tinguished services as secretary of the navy to the officer whose final line of battle we could not break through.
 I hope, sir, I may have the pleasure of meeting you personally, and I shall have the honor of calling upon you when l am in your vicinity With great re- spect l am, very sincerely yours,
 E. BURD GRUBB.
