 Gems, Found In Lake.

New York, Sept 1.-The body of Mrs. Ashton Harvey, dressed in white and literally covered with fortune In jewels, was found in the private pleasure lake on the estate of stephen Hartshorn, at Shot Hills, N. J., by bloodhounds which had been brought from New York to seek her.
 Mrs. Harvey was the wife of Ash ton Harvey. corporation lawyer at 33 Broadway. New York. and lived on their magnificent country estate al Short Hills.
 Mrs. Harvey, who was wealthy in her own right, had been acting pecu- linrly for several weeks, and her daughter, Dorothy, and son, Harold, became alarmed when she left the house dressed in white, even her shoes and stockings, and wearing all of her jewels. About her neck she wore a $25,O00 pearl necklace, and on her head she had placed rich diamond tiara.
 Her breast was covered with sum- bursts and other brooches set with dazzling gems, and her fingers were bedecked in jeweled rings. This was prior to her ordering a carriage to go to the home of Miss Dubarry at Mad ison.
 Mir. Harvey and his daughter search ed the roads in their automobile for hours, when they called in the police. Bloodhounds were brought from New York, and after long search the ami. mals pointed to the body in the lake. Mrs. Harvey's remains were taken out by grappling irons.

Later events are as nothing compared to that proud moment. if one's own estimation of it's importance is to be taken into account. Certainly no subsequent occasion will arouse in the fathers heart greater feelings of pride and joy. What man will ever forget that event in the life of his son!
 Women never grow old, even though the hair become gray and the cheeks are furrowed. The spirit maketh young and woman's is a joyous nature. In the list of your acquaintances how many young old women do you know, with the sparkle of youth In the eye and the joy of youth still in the heart? Mayhaps one of these women, grand mother, doubtless, can still recall the time when the baby came shouting with merriment because her hair was fixed like mammals. The worry and the trouble became happiness under Loves wonderful alchemy.

 The fact that so great a Southern ed ucator as pr. Edwin A. Alderman, in his inaugural address as the president of the University of Virginia, suggested that halls and dormitories controlled by private and denominational colleges be established at the university shows an attempt from our own section to grasp the same problem in the same broad and decisive way.
 The problem has been the same in each case. Many things have made for the ongoing of this novement-chiefiy two. Owing to differences of religious faith among their constituencies-with Jew and Catholic, and Methodist and Bap- tist and the rest-State schools have found it exceedingly difficult to teach religion of any sort, or even the Bible, in their regular courses. This is per- haps the chief political question now be- fore the English voter. and it has ever been coming up in connection with our public school system In the United States. It is just as real and puzzling a question in the State universities. On the other hand, denominational colleges have often been hard to endow and equip on a scale to compete with State insti- tutions. This scheme has suggested it. self in so widely differing conditions be- cause of It's meeting these two problems. It involves of necessity no loss of pre- sent plants, for good training schools is one of the crying needs of our time;

THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN-By Frank Mccoy Domnck

The home that knows not the touch of baby fingers and that is with out tho echo of children's voices loses much of the sacredness attached to that institu tion.
 Life at best is mysterious thing, a Journey from an unknown land to a land unknown. The phantom of hap piness has been sought by all men at all times. The epicurean indulged in pleasure and thought he had attained the highest good The stoic denied himself foolishly, thinking he had like wise solved the problem. King Midas. of fabled story, spurned the touch of gold, after it had proved a burden to this life, for the pleasure of a glance into Marigplds laughing eyes, and the warm, sweet touch of his little daughters embrace. Therein he had found one means by which men attain the highest happiness. How often strong men say that they live for their childrenl
