The great trouble with some
people is that a newspaper can't
express the opinion of its editor
without them charging that it
has been bought, if the editors
opinion happens to be contrary
to their own. And this same
class are as quick to make cor
rupting charges against men in
office and candidates for office.
If they could be returned to the
nursery and made to begin life
over again on the bottle, sec
ond growth might possibly
change the shape of their heads.

When the Noise Let Up.

Two young women OF stolld. common
sense appearance were the sole femi.
nine occupants OF subway car until
there entered fashlly dressed girl,
with face made up like a cosmetic ad-
vcrtiscmcnt and accompanied 10y a
young man nttircd In the extreme"
The two young women eyed the new.
conner with interest while they con-
tinued their conversation. The train
slowed down at the next station, the
rattle and hang of operation ceased
and the voice of one of the young wo-
men became suddenly audible:
"lf | had face like that. do you
know what I'll do2 Id hook t."
The girl with the makeup looked
daggers. her escort looked foolish. the
speaker looked out Of the window and
dozen passengers looked as though
they enjoyed it.-New York Globe.

The Glove on the Pole.

A quaint custom in an English town,
Honlton, is 'proclaiming the fair" The
town obtained the grant of n fair from
the lord of the manor so long ago as
1857, and the fair still retains some Of
the picturesque characteristics OF by.
gone days. The town crier, dressed in
picturesque uniform and carrying n
pole decorated with gay flowers and
surmounted 10y large gilt model OF II
gloved hand, publicly announces the
opening of the fair, as follows: "Oyezl
Oyez! Oyez! The fairs begun, the
glove is up. No man can bc arrested
till the glove Is taken down" Hot
coins are then thrown among the chill
drcn. The pole aud glove remains dis
played until the end Of the fair.

LAST OF THE PASCAGOULAS.
An indian Legend From the Shores Of
the Gulf of Mexico.


An Indian legend Of the Pascagoulas
Is told by the fishermen and oyster
men down on the shores Of the gulf
Of Mexico.
A point reaches out into the gulf
near the mouth OF the Pascagoula riv-
er The pine trees on II come almost
to the waters edge. and between lies
q strip OF white sand; across a marsh,
a border OF light green swaying and
rustling grasses and beyond a gray
cypress swamp the hanging moss OF
the trees swaying In the wind. To the
south the blue waters OF the gulf
stretch away, with little waves lap
ping on the chalk white clam shells
OF the shore.
There in the evening during the
short twilight one hears soft music, as
IL Il were the notes OF violin, insist
ent, changing. sweet 1t Is the song OF
the Pascagoulas.
Long years before The Pascagoula
Indians had lived upon this point. The
white men, the Spaniards, came in
numbers, and with them the hostile
warriors OF other tribes, TO make war
and to drive the Pascagoulas out OF the
country. Coming from the inland, the
enemy took away all chance OF fight
and hedged them in on the point. The
Pascagoulas fought for days and
nights In the dark pine woods against
outnumbering foes. Then they saw
that all was useless. that they could
not overcome. and starvation stared
them In the face
The Pascagoulas called n council OF
the tribe and talked long together. To
give themselves up meant lives OF
slavery or death, and TO fight TO the
last man was TO leave the women and
children TO the mercy Of the white
men and their allies.
The next morning the Pascagoulas
put on all their paint and trappings
and burned their wigwams. The men.

tragic death. identified the college in
the popular mind with the assassin
ated president henceforth.
Harry Augustus Garfield succeeds
President Henry Hopkins, who died
month ago. Graduated from Williams
23 years ago, Mr.. Garfield is now As
years old
Born in Hiram, o., Harry Augustus
Garfield returned to his native state
as soon as his legal education was
finished. After his graduation from
Williams he was master for one year
of St Paul's school, Concord. N. H.,
where he was prepared for college,
then he studied law for a year in
Columbia law school and in the office
of Bangs. Stetson, Tracey & Mac
Veagh. The following year he con-
tinued his law studies at the Inns of
Court, in London, and at Oxford uni
versity, devoting much. attention to
the courses in political science. Upon
his return to the United States In the
spring of 1888 he was admitted to the
bar in Ohio.
In June, 1888, he married Miss
Belle II. Mason of Cleveland, daughter
of leading railroad lawyer. After
his marriage he formed a partnership
with his brother James and began the
practice Of law in Cleveland. They
soon developed large practice.
Harry Garfield took keen interest
in politics and was the organizer OF
the Municipal association, which de.
feated and broke up the notorious Nc
Kisson gang. then controlling city poll
tics. Until 1903 Harry Garfield served
this association as president and in
1898 he was president also of the
Cleveland chamber Of commerce.
In 1903 he retired from the practice
of law to accept the chair of politics
at Princeton university. Here he made
record for learning and ability by
his lectures on colonial government
and government by party.
The selection of Mr.. Garfield for the
presidency of Williams college is an
other example of the tendency of New
England institutions of learning to Sc
lect for their heads men Of a different
/ type from the college presidents OF
former years, who were uniformly
clergymen. Of little or no experience
with the world outside Of college walls
President Eliot of Harvard was a
chemist, President Hadley of Yale was
an economist and President Luther OF
Trinity college (Hartford) was a
mathematician. Outside of New Eng.
land the tendency has been more pro.
nounced.
The college draws students from
every state In the union, az well as
from several foreign countries. Alum
nj associations Of the college are to
be found in all the large cities of the
United States. Williams has been
called "the cradle Of foreign missions. u
and its name IL mentioned with the
spread of the missionary movement
