For spirit, enthusiasm and crowds,

students, members of the alumni and
friends of the university. started on
a parade of the main streets which
was only exceeded by the college pa

a regiment of 900 and their regimen

most imposing spectacle.

Thousands See Game.

Long before 2:30, the hour appoint

the grand stand and bleachers were

been reserved for the students and

Tho Impatient Man.

No man is more constantly unhap-
py, or makes others more So than the
impatient man. He is out of harmony
with things, and all things fight and
worry and wound him. He feels him
self dishonorcd, too. by his impatience,
and he does lose so far as he INDUCES
1t, the true dignity of life. He is not

vice. into the slough of dishonor. His
garment, perhaps, is not soiled, but 1t
Is burned through, in a thousand spots,
by the cver-dropping little sparks of
petulance, and 1t is in tatters and dis
order with the ever-crossing tlurries
Of angry passion, and he seems to him
self and to others as one who scrambles
through life. rather than as one who
walks in the calm, dignified robe OF
conscious self-possession. Constant
fretting and fault-finding and break
ing out into sarcasm and anger may
bereave house of all honor, peace
and comfort, almost as effectually as
gluttony and drunkenness. Or sup
pose that the fretful temper be hidden
and smothered in the heart, then il
wastes and consumes the springs OF
the inmost life.

faith was necessary to success.
Mr.. Bryan showed the necessity OF
young men in college developing them
selves, physically. mentally and NOR

faith in themselves when they enter
into the battle of life. He cited many
examples to show that only the fittest
survive in the intellectual or physical

sides that. he reports the dangerous
chambers to the foreman. and the
foreman does mt allow anybody to

In his lest report. the Chief OF the
Pennsylvauia Department OF Mines
says that the great majority of he
accidents are undoubtedly caused by
the csrnlessness or negligence OF the
victims. The miner. who is, in a
way. an independent contractor and
employs his own laborers. Is supposed
to use ordinary intelligence In his
operations. It is when he doesn't do
this that an accident results. Then.
sometimes. rescue apparatus comes
In handy.
Hence the present test OF a breath
ing apparatus for which important
claims are made. The Draeger apna-
ratus has been used in Euronean
mines. though it is MOI yet widely
known in this country. 1t was used
In the 5 OF miners at the time
OF the disaster At C~onrrIeres. France.
One of Its principal advantages Is
that the wearer can see and hear as
usual. and can be easily heard when
he 8 peaks to a companion rescuer
The apparatus weighs about 2s pounds
and is simple in its operation.
In addition to ~life-saring appliances
of this character. the anthracite com.
ranies all have Observation-Disclosures
corps In their mines. The men In
these corps have regular drills. AMI
are instructed by physicians retained
Tor the purpose by the companies.
The "m~lner-doctors" have become re-
markahly skillful in applying band
ages. making splints and tourniquets.
and In other phases OF the first-aid
work Every a a competition drill
between the corps in the numerous
anthracite eollieries. is held at one
of the towns in the region.
One OF the greater obstacles In the
way OF reducing the number OF mine
accidents is the supplanting OF the
AngloSaxon miners by a mfscelIane.
Gus foreign element. These foreign
ers. speaking a dozen or more differ
ent languages. are below the British
and the Germans in education and
general efficiency. and they are care
less OF their own lives and the lives
OF others. It has been found possible
too. sometimes to buy miners. certifi-
Gates. and thus avoid the efect of
the law which requires experience be-
fore the State will grant a certificate.
In this way incompetent men often
get into the mines. and the operators
are powerless to prevent it.
Instructions are printed in every
language spoken in the mines. and
are posted prominently where ali the
mine workers may see them. In many
instances. however. the State inspec-
tors have learned that the men pay
too little attention to the notices.

Recent disasters In bitumsnous

means to prevent them. In the an.

are practically limited to such as

deliberate negligence.
This device now being investigated
Is designed fo- use In either smoke
or In the deadly gas which occasional.

that the gas Is rarely allowed to form

modern equipment for rescue work.
Officials are on constant watch for In.

Though they prepare thus for fire
fighting and ~rescues. the companies
seek to put most emphasis upon the
prevention of conditions which leai

they have a thorough system of in
