A Friend IN Need.

In his extremity Of persecution, Paul

made. It was the brethren who sent

himself with steadfast loyalty For
him his friends were willing to risk
made new friends who-zwers ready to
share his dangers and his sufferings.
Let US not pity Paul too mitch. Aside
from his fellowship with his Master,
he won the close sympathy Of a COM
pany of new friends When we con-
slider how few real friends will stand
the test of the fires OF adversely that
come to the average man or woman
in this life we must count Paul roy
ally rich.

In the Palace Beautiful Pilgrim
slept in the Chamber of Peace, with
its windows open toward the sunrising
When he awoke, it was with a song on
his lips. There is no gainsaying the
truth that the cody man sleeps most
sweetly, and looks out on life with a
peace and simple joyousness which
cannot be learned in the paths of sin.

.DlSGRACED CADETS
DINED BY COMRADES
WEST POINTERS DISMISSED
FOR HAZING ARE FETED
Six Expelled Students from U. S. MIL.
tary Institution Are Recipients of
Unusual and Striking Incl
dent at Academy

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-An unusual
and rather striking incident character
lied the last hours at the West Point
Military academy of six of the seven
cadets dismissed from the institution
for hazing Rolando Sutton, brother of
the late Lieutenant Sutton Of the ma
rine corps, whose death was the sub
ject of a recent investigation at An
napolis.
Having packed up their belongings
and settled their accounts with the post
officers the six young men appeared on
the parade ground just before even
ing parade. The bugle sounded and the
cadet corps marched on the field, at
one side of which stood the disgraced
youths, unhappily watching the scene.
AS the line broke into column of pla-
toons to march in review, the six
youngsters came to a smart attention.
When the companies were marching
back into the streets Of the camp the
former cadets slowly followed to have
a last look at their TENS. When ranks
were broken the members Of the corps
gathered around their dismissed COM
rades, shook their hands, patted them
on the back and uttered all manner of
encouragement.
The six young men were uncertain
whether to enter the mess hall al sup
per time but their former companions
insisted on their eating a last supper
there. It was a mixture of sadness and
at times jocularity. for the dismissed
men were among the most popular at
the academy. They were accompanied
to the railroad station by dozens of
sympathizers.

ASTRONOMERS ISSUE
PROBLEM BLACKLIST
SAY SOME QUESTIONS ARE
RIDICULOUS
Scientists Make List of Astronomical
Puzzles That Will Never Be
Solved Because They
Are silly

LAKE GENEVA, Wis, Aug. 2o.-Af-
ter the opening yesterday of the tenth
annual meeting of the Astronomical
and Astrophysical society of America
at Yerkes observatory Prof. Pickering
and Prof e. B. Frost, who has charge
of the Yerkes observatory, drew up a
list of the problems which they say a
genuine scientist will never bother
with. Here is the list:
Going up in a balloon with telescopes
to make observations. This the true
astronomer declares ridiculous
Question of the inhabitability OF
planets. This is described as purely a
biological problem. The true astrono-
mer concerns himself more with mat
ters of mass, length and time.
Probability of the destruction OF the
earth by comets. This is characterized
as pure idiocy."
Talk of comets plunging into the sun
and thus generating a heat sufaclent
to burn up the earth. More idiocy.
Talk of satellites of the moon. Ludi-
crous.
Rumors of the temperance of the
Biblical Star of Bethlehem. This star,
which is reported frequently from some
part Of the country, according to Prof.
Frost, is the planet Venus.

ACTING SECRETARY
TAKES ALL BLAME
BaIIinger's Assistant Says He and Not
Department Chief Is Responsible
for Cunningham Coal
Entries Cases

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Until to-
day officials of the interior department
have declined to make any public
statements relative to the part that
has been taken by Secretary Ballinger
in the case of the Cunningham coal
entries in Alaska.
There has been considerable com
ment on this matter, and today Acting
Secretary Pierce said Soon after
Secretary Ballinger assumed Office
some phase of those cases came up
officialiy before the department. The
secretary called for me and stated that
he had been called into consultation
about the cases before his appointment,
and that he would have nothing what
ever to do with them.
HE directed that all matters relat-
ing to them should be handled entirely
by myself and the commissioners or the
general land Office. Since the secretary
assumed office he has had nothing
whatever to do with these cases, and
all matters relating to them have been
handled either directly by myself or
through the general land office"
