John D. Rockefeller of Standard
Oil and Chicago University fame
can hardly be accused Of boarding
his coin, whatever other charges
may be brought against him. He
has realized at least a truth which
few have grasped, namely, that an
institution can only be maintained
and properly governed to advantage
when it is sufficiently endowed.
Witness Johns gifts to the Univers-
ity of Chicago and forget that oil
has advanced with the wheels of

Another soul has gone
To that kingdom up above,
In the form of Mrs. Tomlinson,
The synonym of love.
mother she was-yes, truly,
mother she was to you;
A mother she was to everyone,
To everyone she knew.
The deeds of love and kindness,
That she has always done,
Will be remembered fondly
BY each and every one.
Her voice was always gentle;
Her smiles were always broad;
A blessing to her kinsmen;
pleasure to her God.
If every one could follow
The examples of that friend,
Heaven would be ours
When life should find an end.
She has built for US a monument;
You cannot see the stone,
For her epitaph is written
Upon her works alone.
We rest with fond assurance
That your soul is in the sky,
With sweet and sure affection
We sadly say goodbye.

The Democrats are continually
furnishing a demonstration in real
life of the old nursery rhyme, The
King of France and forty thousand
men marched up the hill and then
marched down again" With great
blowing of horns and sounding of
cymbals they recently announced
that they purposed to ask Mr.. Bryan
to withdraw in favor of president

Bryan went to Washington and
every Democrat promptly lost his
nerve. The request was never
made.

The year 1908 includes the be-
ginning of the 1850 year of ou1
American independence and closes
the 132nd. The almanac also says
1908 corresponds to the year CPL OF
the Julian period and to the years
5668-5669 of the Jewish era, the
latter year beginning at sunset on
the 18th day of September. Our
friend the almanac will repay study.
While we are at it we might state
that the first almanacs were made of
billets of wood on which were carved
the moons phases for year, hence
being devoted to lunar matters they
were called by the Saxons who in
vented them an al-mon-heed' or
observation of all the moons. ,
This has gradually been changed
until now it can hardly be recog-
nized in our word almanac derived
from it.

SPLENDID SPIRIT
At BIC RALLY
CLEAN ATHLETICS IS
SLOGAN OF EVENING
Rousing Demonstration Held on High
School Hill Last Evening Pdfticl-
paced IN by Members of Rival
Teams-Crowd of Cheering Stu
dcnts-Parade the Streets,

Clean athletics was the slogan OF
| the big football rally at the high
school last evening, in which Princi-
pal Hampton, Coaches Lytle and
Moores and Captains Baker and
Walker of the rivals on Matlock field
today spoke of the prospects of the
impending battle. Mark Moorhouse,
Cress Sturgis and Harold Warner
were other speakers.
Following the big bonfire and rally,
the football enthusiasts organized in
monster parade which paraded
through the business portion of the
city and was greeted with great en-
thusasm by hundreds of football fans
along the line of march.
Fireworks were the feature of the
parade. There were torches, red fire,
Roman candles and a few skyrockets
sent up along the line of march. The
student parade was led by the high
school band and was made up of a
couple Of hundred shouting enthu-
siasts who left the street one blaze
OF fire as they passed. The band
played the airs of the football songs,
and the boys and girls called out yell
after yell from their repertoire of bat
tie crys.
The speakers at the rally all urged
clean athletics Both coaches and
the captains urged the men to win
by fair means alone and the con-
sciousness Of an honorable defeat
was better than the flush of an un-
fair victory.

Of Senator Elkins, of West Virginia

"The duke of AbruZzi already

simply to become his wife. This,
however she refused, not understand
ing that a girl in her position in

great prudence 10 prevent the igni-
tion Of GOAL dust, they advise thorough
wetting of the mine for a distance Of
GS feet from the shot that Is to be
fired. They recommended that close
attention should be given to the ques-
tiOn Of leaving such an amount Of
support to the roof Of a mine that II
cannot fall in in the event of an ex-
plosion, and thereby imprison the
workmen. Equally important Is the
suggestion that employees be removed
from the mine when a shot is to be
fired II is also urged that there
should be strong cooperation between
the government and the operators Of
mines in the maintenance of strict
discipline, and that there should be
careful periodic inspection by a corps
of competent men.
