OF AMERICA -
THE A. G. M. COLLEGE.
OF AMERICA

A Texan, writing of the Texas State
Agricultural e Mechanical College,
has this to say, which is applicable to
practically all State A. & NJ. colleges:
One excellent feature of the adyan-
tages at the Agricultural & Mechani-
cal College is that they are easily
within the reach of the poor mans
son. The necessary expenses for the
entire school year do not amount to
much more than the sum they must
pay for tuition alone at many of the
universities and colleges of the coun-
try. And then young man of grit
and energy can keep up with his stu
dies and at the same time by outside
work earn money enough to defray
large part of his expenses. Students
have not infrequently paid all of their
expenses, and it has occasionally hap
pened that some unusually thrifty fell
low, in addition to making enough to
pay all his college expenses, has laid
by snug little sum to begin life on.
A graduate of the college was recent
~ asked how much money he had
when he entered lle lTeSuudu CLASS.
He replied: 81 had forty dollars at
the beginning of the session, and [
had forty dollars at the close of school
in June" 1t is reported of another
student who paid all his expenses by
working, that during the four years
of his college life he accumulated
eight hundred dollars. Some of this
amounts however, was earned during
the summer vacations. An education
acquired under such circumstances
generally means a great deal more
than one, the expenses of which are
all paid by parent or guardian. The
young man who pays his own way
through college learns thoroughly the
value of dollar, and he also gets
some lessons in self-denial and indie
.pendence that can not fail TO be help
full to him in after life.

BOOK REVIEW.
"sIDEREAL sIDELIoHTs"

1t has been welt said that variety is
the spice of life' and from perusal of the
interesting pages of Sidereal Sidelights, a
Medley of Dawn-Thoughts, by Charles L.
Brewer it is evident that the author be-
lieved and wrote on the notion that "vari-
ety. was also the spice of progressive
literature
The Blade is in receipt of copy through
the courtesy of The Balance Publishing Co.,
of Denver, Colorado, publishers, and 1t is
well printed, in a fascinating style, and is
being sold for the modest sum of so cents.
1t is just what is implied by its nomencla-
ture, namely, medley" consisting of both
poetry and prose, touching upon a number
of different topics connected with the
progressive thought of the day. Its range
is ample, covering the field of sociology,
with flashes of philosophy and touch of
mysticism which gives a charm to the
thread of it's stories. The whole is an i'm
pressive dwelling upon the Humanitarian
impulse, holding that If there be any ele-
ment of So called divinity in the universe
it must exist within and as a part of HUI
manity. 1t is well worth reading and ought
to have wide circulation. No book can
please every reader who may glance over
its pages, but the one now under review
is calculated to please the majority OF
thinking people and this is a victory in
current literature.

pillows, allay the storm and smooth the
surface of the troubled sea, but it will not
work in bringing peace, love and goodwill
among the worshippers of the lowly Naz-
arene. Time and circumstances exert
tremendous influence upon such questions.
1t might work in one age but not in another
Miracles rely upon age and antiquity for
credence and belief. Jesus might have
performed the miracle to which was made
the foregoing allusion, but If ever miracle
was necessary to preserve what is called
the Christian spirit it ought to be worked
off upon the members of Emmanuel Epis
copal Church in Philadelphia. Not alone
should the members be gently touched but
it appears that the parson, Rev. E. G.
Knight, and some of the members of his
choir ought to get a liberal dose of the
divine afhatus. Let us read
Drop that money!"
Make me do So"
Bin! Bang! Letter go Gallagher and a
aforesaid preacher and a choir boy, both
in sacred vestments, and warden George
Shegog, were the principal participants
But did you observe what the trouble
was about? Money! Just so. They do not
fight for the glory of god, or for a cruel
fled savior. The scrap was for cash. Nor
is this the first row of the kind that has
taken place in this church. A similar diff
ticulty took place about one year ago and
the same Warden, who appears to have
the right to perform an auditing of &C
counts, was hauled before a magistrate
and put under a bond to keep the peace
for one year. The year was just out and
the Warden proceeded to paint the church
red in the same old way. Think of 1t!
For one whole year he kept well within
the requirements of the law but as soon
as the restricted period had passed he re-
turned to the encounter For one solid
year Warden Shegog had nourished and
cultivated his bitter animoslty. For one
whole year the parson had initiated this
divine example. Each had nursed his
wrath and when the oppOrtune moment
arrived all forgiveness, all atonement, all
brotherly love, were forgotten and the dis
putants started in to settle their difficulties
in the good old-fashioned way.
After reading this edifying account OF
Christian believers dwelling together In
sucn unity, allow your mind to reflect upon
the fact that the bone of contention hap
pened to be few paltry dollars

preach, he will, probably, exercise greater
caution in calling upon the female men,
bers of his flock. In other words he has
been taught lesson that will tend to pre-
vent him calling at time when the hus-
band is not at home. His recent exper-
fences were such that they ought to make
profound impression. Most husbands
would have done precisely what the hus-
band in this case has done. Lacking sufi-
Gent testimony to justify the institution of
criminal proceedings against him, the hus-
band proceeded to exact individual ven-
geance in the good, old-fashioned way, by
punching the preachers face with his fist.
AS a result Rev. Carson made an exodus
from the city, but it is reported, that the
woman in the case has also mysteriously
disappeared.
Mrs. Briggs, so the story goes, runs a
good second to the bellies of the Blue Grass
Region in that, the reports say, she is
both young and pretty. The principal
failing with most preachers, recognized
as of long standing, is that they very read
lily become enamored Of women possessing
those qualifications 1t matters not to the
preacher who they are. Married or single,
the result Is the same. Charmed to a de-
gree by the personal pulchitrude of Mrs.
Briggs, who had been attending his revival
services, he took occasion to call upon the
lady at her home. This was perfectly
proper in the first instance. One visit
brought on another, and, as rule, the
preacher timed his calls so that the hus-
band could always be caught away from
home Something happened. The dis
patches do not state. The public is left
to infer In any event Mrs. Briggs COM
planned to her husband; the latter COM
planned to the public prosecutor, but that
officer decided it would be useless to take
action without stronger and more corrobor-
alive testimony. There was nothing left
for the husband to do but to play John l..
Sullivan upon the preacher, and the latter,
we are told, with a face that resembled
map Of the Ozark mountains suddenly va
moosed and hit the road for parts unknown.
Then the lady was missed 1t is not known
whether she has struck the same trail as
the preacher. For her own sake we hope
she has not. If she has then her husband
is lucky man to get rid of her that easy.
According to all accounts the Briggs
home was an exemplar for happiness,
peace and domestic bliss Not a cloud
appeared upon the horizon of this happily
welded pair The preacher came with a
new gospel and he preached. Now that
home is wrecked and there is moral in
this story that needs not diagram to
