SPECIFIC DoRMrroRY PLANS.
Corporation Votes s3S.00O Necessary
 to Build Haughton Hall.

In the Alumni Weekly which will appear this morning is the following statement and the more specific plans for Haughton hall, the erection of which was told of by the Journal Courier, Tuesday morning:
 The corporation at it's meeting this week decided to advance sufficient Academic department moneys to make possible the building of a new dormi- tory.
 Yale had been left the residuary le- gatee of the estate of William l.. Mc- Lane, '69, who died in 1903. Upon the recent death of Mrs. McLane the es- tate, amounting to S112,000, came into the possession of the university. The demand for more campus dormitories was so pressing, and the opportunity for financial investment so good, that the corporation decided 10 advance $3S, ,000 of the college money, add it to the McLane legacy, and erect s15o,O0C dormitory This building will be add ed to the middle campus, or brick campus, and will stand at the north end of Fayerweather hall, filling in the gap between Fayerweather and Lamp son lyceum. The new hall will be known as Haughton hall. in memory of Mrs. William L. MeLane
 The erection of Haughton hall, which will be begun next summer, will as. sist in a very material way in solving the dormitory question for the under graduates. Ii will bring between fifty and 100 men into campus life of tht several hundred who are now unable te get on the campus Yet it by no mean, meets the situation entirely. At least half dozen new dormitories are need ed. With Haughton hall on the middlt campus there is completed another sec ton of the college dormitory layout There only remains the site of alumni hall unoccupied by dormitories in tn, two college campuses that can be uset : for that purpose.

Little Billy's
Easter Hoard

All the children had a hoard Of eggs
hidden away for Easter-all but Billy
Billy was so small and fat that he could
not climb on the hay mows to find the
nests. Sue, Mary and Teddy were big,
ger, and the contest with them went gay.
" on. Easter morning their boards would
be brought forth from their hiding places,
and the one who had the most eggs would
be the best fellow. .-r
Mother would give them some bits OF
bright calico and pieces of onion peel the
eggs would be wrapped in those and
boiled, and when taken out of the water
the onion ones would have beautiful vel.
low shells, and the ones wrapped in cal
leo would have dainty flowers and pat
terms traced on them. Perhaps they might
have some of those gorgeous purple and
crimson dyes for certain highclass eggs
Anyway, there would be a brave showing.
Billy would probably have some given
to him, but they would not be his own
hoard, and the heart of Billy was heavy
within him.
He stood on the Darn floor dejectedly
Smelling the kernels off an ear of corn
that had been dropped, and he could hear
the shouts of the other children away off
on the long NOW in the wing.
Easter was very near-only a few days,
and then
""Cluck! Cluck!"
Billy looked around and saw a brown
hen squeezing out through a hole in the
flooring. She walked straight up to Billy
and began picking up the kernels he had
dropped.
"What you been dom under We floor,

"Cluck cluck I" said the Brown Hen,

Billy looked. Away under the dark

elected Francis Atwood, of Brown
county, and Freeman Knowles, OF
Lawrence county, as delegates to h

sahl, of Minnehaha. and James Kir-

The resolutions condemned h ac-
ton of the national officers In attempt

Guiding papers from the mails with

destructive winds and storms unknown TO
the English. In 1893 Captain May, an
EnglishsQan, was one of a party wreck
ed on the southern shores of the Bermu-
das. They remained five months in the
islands. and after building a boat from
the cedars that grew there they were able
to get away, reaching Cape Breton, from
which place they sailed for England. This
discovery Of the beautiful islands was
doubtless well known, but the spirit of
adventure that was prevalent in those
days attracted men to wider fields, and
the Bermudas were overlooked
About 1910 there appeared "a discov-
cry Of the Bermudas, otherwise called the
Isle Of Devils, by Sir Thomas Gates, Sir
George Somers and Captain Newport and
divers others 1t Is claimed that this lit
tie book, having come into the possession
Of Shakespeare, provided the background
for 1.-The Tempest" Sir George Somecs
and his companions reached the islands in
1909 in a sinking vessel. The vessel was
finally lodged between two rocks, and all
escaped to the shore, which from that day
has been an English possession.
The first sight of a lily-ield transfxes
one. Sitting in the low-swinging car
rage. riding over roads smooth and noise

familiar, yet not familiar. Suddenly the
lily field lies before one. Who can de-
scribe it? 1t takes one out of this life
If first seen without the workers. When
they are added to the picture the lily
fields suggest Utopia. Such work must
be a delight. All through the fields are
the beautiful, graceful figures of men ind
women, through whose picturesque gar
ments are caught CLEANS Of the golden
bronze Of their skin. Here and there an
animated small bronze image, with as
little covering as possible, intensifes the
beauty. The colored men Of Bermuda
are Of mixed stock. They are the descend
ants of American Indians captured and
sold into slavery, negroes kidnapped from
Africa. and English convicts who prefer
red to remain in the Bermudas after the
government ceased to make use Of the
islands as a convict colony.
The Bermuda lily was introduced into
this country in 1875. Two plants In bud
and bloom were brought to Philadelphia
by a lady and given to a florist. This
florist, appreciating their beauty and
value, cultivated the plants for the bulbs.
Since that time the exporting Of lily-bulbs
has been one Of the industries of Ber-
muda.

DEMOCRATS STICK TO BRYAN.
Move for johnson Overwhelmingly
Defeated at Mitchell Convention.

1t was midnight Tuesday before the
democratic state convention finished
its work of electing eight delegates to
the national convention. At the begin
ming of the convention a fight was pre-
cipitated over the manner of choosing
the delegates, there being a division as
to whether the districts should elect
the delegates or the convention as a
whole. On roll call the election was
left with the districts. w. A. Lynch,
ST Huron. was elected permanent
chairman.
The platform adopted at the night
session favors the abolition of the tar

Gus enforcement of the criminal law
against trusts and trust magnates;
urges tariff reforms and instructs the
delegates to the national convention to
vote for the nomination OF William j..
Bryan first. last and all the time and
Cor nobody else.
Henry yolkmar, of Millbank, start
ed a fight over the positive fnstruc-
tons for Bryan, urging that the con-
vention should permit the delegates
20 have a second choice. He offered
an amendment to the effect that dele
gates be instructed for Bryan SO long
as his name is before the convention
and then to use their best judgment
in selecting a second candidate.
When pressed for a second choice
yolkrnar named Gov. Johnson, of
Minnesota. A dozen speeches were
made against the possibility Of voting
Tor Johnson, and then former Senator
pettigrew took the platform and de-
nounced the attempt to create the
first break in the solid support for
Bryan. Volkmar's amendment was
defeated practically unanimously.
Andrew p. Lee was Endorsed for
governor. The following delegates
were elected to the Denver convention:
S. w. Zeibach, First district; r. F..

The speech OF Chairman Stuart first
put the convention into a hilarious
state by his references to Andrew Lee,
Frank Pettigrew, and lastly Mr.. Bry-

nearly lifting the roof.

Profit from the Garden.

The amateur gardener, whose love
for flowers is often disproportionate
to her means of buying the new sorts
she covets, may often make her garden
return a profit in cash, as we'll as In
satisfaction.
Cannas are so popular that there Is
always a ready market for good, well
grown tubers, especially for the dark
colors. BY starting in with good stock,
and keeping it true to name, or ever
by having good plump roots that are
amixed," one may often make advan-
tageous sales to neighbors or to near
by seedsmen. They multiply quite rap
idly, but the demand, at present, seems
to keep pace with the increase.
The secret of success Is to have the
tubers sound and firm. And this is
secured by giving them proper care
through the winter. Pack them In sand
in a dry, frost-proof cellar. They will
keep firm and plump, affording Gus
toners ample proof of their intention
to grow.
Dahlias, too, are in favor again, and
are shown in some charming new col
orings and forms. The same treatment
applies to the care Of these tubers
through the winter.
Gamma seeds are very hard to germi-
nate, and, while stock may be raised
thatsway. it is always doubtful how it
will turn out. 1t may prove inferior,
so the best way is to depend on the
propagation of the roots.
