Medal Beautiful Work Of Art.
The medal is a beautiful piece of
work, consisting of the medal proper
engraved the dates 1SS8-190S. The
pendant is surrounded by an olive
wreath inclosing blue enameled rim
on which in gold letters is the inscrip-
ton, "Augustana College and Theo-
logical Seminary, Illinois, Within
the rim on a gold field is the raised
image of an open book, with the in
scription in Latin, THE Holy Scrip
lures, the Only True Faith" Above
the book is triangle in white enamel
in relief, and within the triangle is an
eye from which radiate rays The
idea is symbolic, the triangle repre-
senting the Trinity, the eye the all
seeing Providence, and the rays knowl
edge and light.

of surprise to Dr. Bartholomew, who
was not aware of what was transpiring
until his home was surrounded last
night by students, who carried it by
storm.

The Curse of America.

The curse of America is its lack of
discipline. In the family, the school
and the college youngsters grow up
to do as they please. There is a
mawkish sentiment which is evidence
of degeneracy and which prevents the
old-fashioned, wholesome enforce
ment of authority among children and
youth. 1t is not good for society and
not good for the individuals.
In every family and in every school
it is desirable to have some stringent
regulations, if for no other reason
than having them complied with. The
best foundation for character is the
habit of submission TO authority, and
the time to acquire that habit is in
childhood and youth. None can ever
become so competent to wisely direct
as those who have first learned to
obey.
The looseness and instability in
American character has its beginning
in the looseness and instability of
family discipline and in the insistence
of silly and inefficient parents that
the same looseness of discipline shall
be carried into the schools, from
which it easily extends into the col
leges. The fiedgeling in college will
turn out a much more useful mem Der
of society if he is made to behave
himself or clear out.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Street Cars For Shanghai

The problem of tram trafiIc in a
Chinese city presents peculiar diff
culties, in view of the crowded condi-
ton of the streets and the lack of IA
miliarity of the people with time saw
ing devices generally. The construc-
ton of new tramway system in
Shanghai has been practically COM
pleted, although the current will be
turned on at first only in sections
where the inexperience of the Chinese
drivers and conductors will be less
likely to have bad effects. Upward
of twenty-three miles of tracks have
been laid, and the tram routes have
been divided into eleven sections,
over which the passenger is entitled
to trayel-the first class fare for one
section being only two and half
cents. Each car is divided into two
compartments, not on a color basis,
but rated according to fares paid. The
cars are lighted by electricity, and
notices posted in English, French and
Chinese warn passengers against
smoking, splitting or bringing dogs on
board. A notable feature is the en-
tire absence of advertisements on the
cars.-Zion's Herald.

Free-and-Easy Remarks About Them

Why, the successor of Charles A.

in New York; an artist and judge
of art; exquisitely accomplished in
the classic lore of many lands; an au-
thority in pictures, poetry and music.
But what does Mr.. Laffon know-we

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned TO Drink Coffee When Baby

If parents realized the fact that
coffee contains a caffeine
which is especially harmful to chill
dren, they would doubtless hesitate
before giving the babies coffee to
drink.
when | was a child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals new
er knew there was anything to drink
but coffee and water.
And so | contracted the coffee
habit early | remember when quite
young, the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t in the coffee-mill, as sub
stitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and
then went back to coffee again. That
was long before Postum was ever
heard Of ! continued to use coffee
until was 81, and when | got into
Office work, began to have nervous
spells. Especially after breakfast |
was so nervous | could scarcely at
tend to my correspondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Pos
tum. My wife and did not like it at
first, but later when boiled good and
strong 1t was fine. Now we would
not give up Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.

kria, disguised as Brahman, pre-
tended to be starving and went to
the animals for help. The monkey
got him bunch Of mangoes; the coot
picked up a fisherman's neglected
string for him; the fox stole him a
pot of milk. AT last the god APP
preached the hare. i have nothing

off into it, That'll save me the

assented again, but as he leapad from
the rock the god caught him in his
arms, and then drew his figure in the

excellence of self-sacrifice.

MADE A SHOWOF THE HANGING
Foreigners Encouraged to View
Execution of a Murderer.
Pennsylvania Sheriff Expects Them to
Spread Horror of 1t to Induce
Respect For Law.

Pottsville, Pa.--Before a crowd of
about 500, Felix Radius, the Shen-
andoah murderer, was hanged in the
schuylkill County jail yard here. 1t
was the hope of the officials that the
hanging exhibition would be an OBJ
ject lesson to the law1ess foreigners
who have given Schuylkill County a
red record in the last ten years.
But the officials could not have Sc
lected a less satisfactory subject for
their object lesson, for Radius proved
to be the coolest criminal who ever
trod a scaffold. He not only went
nonchalantly to his doom, but assist
ed Sheriff Evans and his deputies i'll
making the job a quick and neat one.
He put his arms and legs into position
for binding and lifted his head so the
deputy could more easily adjust the
moose.
Five hundred passes to the hang
ing were issued by the Sheriff, most
of them to foreigners, but no foreign
er was denied admission even il he
had no pass.

stood under the moose with never q

ment.
Radius was boarder at the home
of Mrs. Mary Cherkoskis and had
been denied admission to the house
when he came home late in an intoxi-
Gated state. The next morning he
sent the woman's seven-year-old
daughter off on an errand, and while
she was gone he followed Mrs. Cher
koskis into the cellar and cut her
throat with her husbands razor. Her
four-year-old son followed her, and
to stop his crying Radius murdered
him.

Bells are understood to have had
their origin in China, but at SO re-

be given. Their FIRST use was to clear
the air Of evil spirits and to drive off
the storms. Old European records
tell how the tolling Of bells kept the
devils from assaulting believers;
hence their connection with churches.
Bells may be traced in Europe back
to the sixth century, but were not
generally introduced into the West
