SAD STORY or A WASTED LIFE
Man Lifelong Hermit Because He
Forgot to Mail Letter.

Here's a life-story in few lines,
told in Answers:
Half a century ago young Eng
lishman, while travelling. met beau,
tiful girl and promptly fell in love
with her. A few days later he re,
turned home and his first act was to
write her love letter. In 1t he told
her, that II she regarded his proposal
favorably he would expect reply
by the next mail. To this letter he
received no answer, and so disappoint-
ed was he that, from that time until
his death, which occurred recently, he
shut himself up In his home and lived
like q hermit. Most OF his time was
spent In reading. and the day after his
funeral the heirs began to search the
books of his library, for they thought
1t quite possible that the eccentric old
man might have hidden some bank
notes In them. They found none. but
in a tattered old pamphlet they found
another kind of note-the love letter
which was written so years ago, and
which the writer had forgotten to

REAL ORIGIN OF "MEAL TIME
Has Come Down to Us from the An
olo-Saxon "MaeI."

With regard to the difficulty Of de-
fining meal" 1t may be observed
that, originally, meal meant re-
past taken at fixed time. 1t is the
Anglo-Saxon "mael," a mark, sign,
measure. fixed time, and SO food par
taken of then, and has no connection
with meal of the oatmeal kind, ex-
cept by one Of those verbal coinciden-
ces in which language abounds. All
the other senses of "mael" but that Of
repast have vanished except in the
word "piecemeal," but German has
still both NAL" time (as in "ein-
NAL" once) and "mahl," meal.
OF 'mahl," however, tourists should
beware. There is story Of IA
tigued English pedestrian staggering
into a German inn with demand
for "Abendmahl." What he wanted
was supper CAbendessenD what he
got was clergyman ready to admin
lister the holy sacrament (Which
"Abendmahl' In practice means), un-
der the impression that he was dying
Meal time" has got into the Ger
man language of greeting. 1t was
the old fashion after supper in the
home to shake hands all round and
say "Gesegnete Mahlzeit''- blessing
on the meal-time. And the German
digestion is so vigorous that the stu
dents at the universities part from
each other, not with good-by or adieu,
or any such supraterrestrial allusion
but-"Mahlzeit!"

The origin Of Pie.

The origin of pie, especially mince
pie, like the origin Of sausage, is
shrouded in mystery, but certain 1t is
that it was known as far back as the
time of Piers the Plowman. and 1t may
be that In his dinner pail could have
been found the precedent which Mich
ael of Pittsburg, now of the hospital,
sought to follow. Those who are sur
prised, after being led to believe that
New England is the habitat Of the ar
ticle, to learn that pie is an old Eng
lish institution, can easily accept the
further statement that planted on
American soil 1t forthwith ran ram
pant and burst forth into an untold
variety of genera and species" Like
the Irish potato, which is said TO have
been originated in the new world, It
has been so .ingrafted into the life OF
its adopted country that 1t seems more
like native than an allen.

FIGHT FOR COUNTY IN
NORTH PARK IN DOUBT

Denver, Feb. 2s,-Whether or not
there will be North Park county ere.
ated by cutting off the western end Of
Larimer, is now aquestion. There have
been number of protests, as well as
number of statements in favor of the
change.
The bill providing for the creation of
this county can get through the legisla-
ture, it is believed, although the mem
bers of the committee having it in charge
are acting with the purpose of giving all
sides hearing i'll an endeavor to not
work hardship on anyone.
Those opposing the measure claim
that the revenue of snch new county
would not be sufficient to maintain the
government that is required nnder the
law. All admit that territorially and
geographically the change should be
made.

tried to upbuild that institution, and IN
this he has our sympthy. But Mr.. VIII
lam G. Evans cannot cease to be cor
poration politician, even when engaged
in a work which in itself is good /.
His idea of building up one thing is to
tear down something else. He wants

get a monopoly, he has steady and con-
tinually fought the State University.
In this he has for years past had the
assistance of former Governor Buchtel.
That was to be expected.
Let the record be clear. The News
has no single grudge against the Denver
university as a university, We wish 1t
every success. We know that there is
and must remain large field for its
usefulness. What we fight is the attempt
of the Chancellor and Sustainer OF that
university to tear down the head and
capstone of the states educational
system. They are the only ones inter
ested in educational matters who are
making such an attempt. Colorado

pose the State University. Westminster
does not. Only the institution in which

the reputation of men who are giving
their lives to honest, earnest, capable
work for the educational system of the
state. And what is the state going to
do about it?

University. 1t was founded and is
maintained to place university educa
tion within the reach of every boy and
girl in the commonwealth. II has high

president is q man known and honored
wherever educators are esteemed. We
are willing to admit that President
Baker has some characteristics that
would doubtless be thought deficiencies
in some quarters. He has never tried to
ruin the institutions of the state which
pays his salary. Ee has never received
the votes Of the tenderloin, nor the sup
port of Billy Green. But he is on up.

of the first rank, who has built up at
Boulder university spirit Of more val
ue than many endowments. Are the
the people of Colorado going to sustain
their own school, headed by such man,
or are they not2
The News feels that the answer to
such question can hardly be doubtful.
But we feel also that it is imperative for
the people of the state to know whence
comes this opposition. and what is the
motive Of the sneers and gibs and insin-
uations that are being scattered abroad.

STAND BY THE
STATE UNIVERSITY

The lobby against the State University
is especially busy these days. 1t is the
same lobby that Governor Henry Au-
gustus Buchtel captained for two years
from the executive chair, the same
which for many times two years has de-
rived aid and comfort from the chief OF
Denver's utility corporations. The game
is the same old game, to thwart' oatne
and hold back the development of the
State University. Only the playing Is
new and as dirty as it is unusul. FOR
the latest move is to cast slurs on the
character of President Baker OF the
State University, to supply each mem.
ber of the legislature with literature
which insinuates that the university
president and professors are dangerous
grafters, who charge up the state tof
their "junketing trips" and maintain q
lobby at Denver to corrupt Legislation
What are the facts in the case? Sim
ly these: President Baker, like every
other head of a college, must do deal
of travelling. And since the university
of which president Baker is the head is
compelled to fight for its life against un-
derhand attacks like the one mentioned,
the president and professors and officers
have at various times been obliged to
come to Denver, to present the case OF
the state school to the states legislators.
Both these things were absolutely neces-
sary under the circumstances; and the
travelling, with incidental expenses for
the head of the school, will always be
necessary. The only question. therefore
is whether these expenses were too
high.
Let us see. President Bakers expense
account for two years was $944.77. In
this modest total are included the fol
lowing:
Three conferences with the represent
atives of the twelve leading State uni.
versities in the country, for the purpose
ofsecuring for these state schools the
benefits of the Carnegie foundation, the
foundation for pensions for retired pro-
fessors. Owing to the united action Of
the state universities, in which Colorado
bore her full part, this purpose was ac-
complished; and the value to this state
alone of that work is equal to cash
capital of $500. The three confer
ences were held in Iowa City, Chicago
and Washington. D. G, Should Presi'
dent Baker have stayed away from these
gatherings, and lost this benefit to
Coloradof
Item "a trip east to secure two pro-
fessors for the chairs of psychology and
education, vacated suddenly in the mid
die of the year. Should those chairs
have been left vacantS
Item "a trip to conference with
the representatives of the state univer-
stiles of the Central West and North
The object OF this conference was the
adoption of uniform standard of adj
mission, which was done. AS result
of this conference, any graduate of any
high school in Colorado can enter any
university in the association without
examination marked advantage to all
the aspiring youngsters of the state.
Should this have been neglected?
Item "A trip to Baton Rouge to a
gathering of the chief educators of the
nation. Should Colorado have been uu
represented at such congress?
And there are many other items. The
total charge to the state was S944.77.
