When Oregon became a State the
boundary between it and Washington
was the main channel of the Columbia
river. The diminishing depth of that
channel, the jetties constructed by
Congress, processes of accretion, and
the diminution of the volume and
depth of water. have made another
channel more important and properly
the main channel. In Washington vs..
Oregon, 20 Supreme Court Reporter,
631, the Federal Supreme Court held
that, whatever changes had occurred
in the former channel, its varying CEN
ter was still the true boundary, and
suggested that the course of wisdom
would be for the interested states to
gain the consent of Congress to secure
the aid of commissioners who could
adjust as far as possible the jurisdic-
ton and this elusive boundary.

A Successful Expedient.

A certain prominent minister was
compelled not long ago to give strict
orders that, while he was engaged
in the preparation of his sermons,
his young son must be kept reason
ably quiet. In spite of this, however,
there arose one morning a most as.
tonishing noise of banging and ham
mering, which seemed to indicate that
the steam-heating pipes were being
knocked to pieces. Hurrying but OF
his study, the minister encountered
his wife.
'My dear, what in the world Is
Bobby doing?" he asked.
why. he Is only beating on the
radiator downstairs" was the some.
what surprised reply.
well, he must stop It," the min.
lister said, decidedly.
II don't think he will harm 1t,
DEAR" his wife answered soothingly:
''and it is the only thing that will
keep him quiet. "-Harper's Weekly.

A LIBERAL EDUCATION.
knowIedge of Chaucer ana Dents

KnowIedge of Chaucer ana Dents
Not Really Necessary.
For a moderately liberal educatlon
a man must be able fairly to appre
bend the current history OF the world
He should first read good daily pa
per. He can skip all that does no'
makes history - the accidents, tne
crimes. the society events, the games
and races, the actresses and divorces;
but he cannot omit the major events
the process and progress OF leglsia
ton, the movements Of democracy
the conflicts of privilege, the discover
les in science, the inventions IN the
arts, the diplomacy of nations ano
the general advance of civilization
These things are Of Importance to hu.
manity, and to have them foreign from
ones education leaves it utterly illiber
al. Therefore, the first thing neces-
sary is not book for the she'll, out
a broad. intelligent journal for the
table.
Then it is impossible to gain fairly
liberal education without the basis fol
an understanding of these current
facts of history, and this requires the
reading of some books. What are the
important books?
Largely text books. For example
ono should have read and fairly mas
tered reasonably full treatises contain
ing the latest conclusions In the CHIEF
sciences, such as chemistry, physics
geology, biology and astronomy, sc
that he may be able to gauge the value
of what he reads in journals and mag
azines. He will keep in touch with
new discoveries and inventions. He
will be man of his age. for liberal
education is the education of this and
not of some past age. Equally he will
read as good text books as he can find
on sociology, political economy and
governments This will require read
ing of the history of the principal ma
lions, or, at least, Of general history
of the world. He must have read
enough on the history of religions to
distinguish their differences and their
worth
Now comes the question of the value
of pure literature in liberal educa.
ton. There is no doubt of its i'm.
portance to put the polish on an edu.
cation which is truly liberal. But pure
literature is not of the framework
the bone and muscle of liberal edu-
cation, but of that beauty which is
skin deep. 1t Is delightful to read
Chaucer or Dante, but many man
of liberal education has read neither.
The long lists of famous names of an
cient and modern times attract US and
give us additional culture" if we
have time for them, but the bulk OF
them are not essential.
And when it comes to the older En-
glish, poetry and prose, Shakespeare
we'll, one needs to have read his plays
twice or three times to be fairly in
telligent. For other poetry one can
get all he really needs for fairly lib
eral educat ton within the covers of two
or three volumes which give us golden
treasures of accepted verse.

TALK RICH OUT OF RICHES.


Effective Weapon Of the Poor.
Everything to-day depends upon
talking. It is futile to sentimentalize
about the vanity of speech or the So
lidity of action, like poor Carlyle.
There is no action that we can profit
ably perform toward millionaire, ex-
cept strangling him. If we can, at
every afternoon tea or society dinner.
say everything that is calculated to
make the wealthy people present feel
very uncomfortable, we shall have
done all that is Immediately practic-
able and shall not have lived In vain,
G. X. Chesterton says in Hampton's
Magazine.
Thus. If were an American,
should turn of every conversation un-
til it came into collision with the sub
ject of the trusts. If young lady
began speaking to me and said: "Have
you seen the VelasqueZ at Vienna?"
should reply (untruthfully), "Oh, yes
magnificent when he worked in oils
which reminds me that this oil trust
- and so on If the hostess said
with a smile, Twill you carve the
duck?" l should answer with unscru-
pulous enthusiasm, "Oh, l am quite at
home with the cold steel; In fact. the
steel trust, ETC." And If at last peo-
pie began not to want me at dinner
parties. and timid conversationalists
fell back on the weather. l should
cry, Have they yet started a sun
trust, wind trust, or sea trust!
That seems to me much healthier
than -" But you quite under
stand
After l had done this for year or
two, even the trusts (though, as their
name implies, full of innocent conf
dence) might have begun to suspect
me.
There is indeed another reason why
we must to great extent rely (for
the presently on speech rather than
action in our dealings with the mon
strosities of modern wealth. Unless
our action is mere lynching (and l
would never deny that there Is some
thing to be said for that), Instead OF
what one calls political, it will not be
action against the very rich, but in
their favor. They hold all the han
dies of the political machine; and for
the purpose of any prompt action they
have only to move the handles. That
the poor could conquer the rich at
last l believe, because l believe in
God-and also in man. But that the
rich could conquer the poor by $3.50
tomorrow evening 1 am quite certain.
The whole press would below the
same tune over a million breakfast
tables.
The servants of the rich would have
run a million errands, the solicitors
and agents Of the rich would have
struck million bargains, before the
ordinary stonebreaker had even found
his pickax. The poor are sure-but
slow.
Add to this that worst and widest
work of modern science (more bias
phemous than it's denial Of God)-its
invention of scientific war. The SER
geant would obey the captain, the SOL
der would obey the sergeant, and the
democracy would lie dead about the
streets before soldier, sergeant or cap
tain had realized that they were all
obeying a swollen and cynical pawn
broker.

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1909-06-18

The girl graduate claims the next SIX
weeks for her own-her gowns In many
cases have riyalled the rousseau or the
June bride Why shouldn't they? The res
tive affairs OF her graduation-the dream
of her s~chooldays, the first real event OF
her life-and the dainty white commence
ment dress, the fanciful class gown or
brighter hue and fragile lace, the more
substantial ba~ccalaureate costume and the
"decapite' reception gown AVE all been
a part OF the dream.
This spring, more than ever before, she
has wide freedom OF choice-Dame Fash
ion has set no limits within the hearts
desire of the most fastidious girl. The
various styles of the last II centuries have
been recalled with a certain conventional
ity that mingles the past with the pres
ent I'M a most enchanting manner. Ma
~terials. too, are varied, lingerie dresses
being universal favorites. although foul
ards. pongees and soft silks are worn.
Most Charming Effects.
First of all the commencement gown
is to be decided-possIbly because IL bears
the significance OF the event. 1t will, OF
course, be white. White, in any mater
ial from French and Persian lawns to
the soft silk crepons and muslins. is dain-
tier II made simply; moreover a simple
white gown is practical. 1t will laundry
well, feel comfortable. and at the same
time be appropriate for almost any affair
during the entire summer
A simple style by no means implies lack
of picturesque or graceful beauty. The
practical. by which is meant, not extreme,
princess and semi princess dresses with
panel effect are especially charming in
dainty white. An embroidered panel edged
with a dainty Valenciennes is a beautiful
idea. The clff of the sleeve which is
made not too light, may be also edged
with ValencienEes. The "decapite" or
collarless dresses will be universally pre-
ferred this spring. especially for the com
mencement dress.
BaccaIaareate Gowns.
For baccalaureate, the pongee two and
three-pIece suits threaten TO hold full
reign. The tan oular is a splendid

FASHION FANCiES.

The bottoms of sleeves are much;
trimmed while the upper parts are left
absolutely plain.
'Chevelure" is the name given to a
shade of brown, which, being inter-
preted. means hair brown.
The newest colors for gloves are
champagne and the lightest shades OF
brown, even to a bright yellow.
Pear shaped pearls or jewels or
strands Of platinum threaded with dia-
monds and pearls are fashionable
One of the novelties of the minute Is

For morning wear the hanoi and
castor gloves are the rage here as well
as in Paris.
Cretonne belts with figures stamped
in blue are to be had and are quite
charming.
Irish crochet motives, made Of metal
lie cord instead OF the usual thread,
are among the new trimmings.
Colored net or tulle sleeves have a
lining of gold net. This gives just a
charming simmer through the outer
mesh.

The flower rosette Is popular.
Broche fabrics will be much worn
in the near future.
In yokes the u IA plaitings are
the thing just now.
Jet bracelets seemingly cannot be

Cabochons of straw with jewel CEN
tiers will be seen IN some OF the smart
hats.
Skirtings are nearly all striped
which adds to h long lined effects
OF the season.
Messaiine silk In exquisite Dresden
