with the noble architecture and the magnificent
mountain environment OF the castle.
MARY and the clergyman chanced to be together
~ just as the ndulgent guide after long tour of
stres Hail. The keen eyed Engishman smiled at
the rapt expression in the girls face as she looked
down the cleaning spacious length OF this modern
Walhala. He knew that in this poetic. artistic
splendor the loving Southern girl found her
idealizaton of kingly state.
And well she might! The cleaning oak mosaic
floor, the thousand candles in the immense sill
candeabra the long mirror panels of the golden
walls and the pictured scenes from Parsifal in
luminous coors on the gold. give blended. un
tarnished spendor to this chamber that has not its
equal in any modern palace.
The party passed from the Minstrels Hall into the
Throne Room. celebrated as being the costlest
chamber of any existing palace With its lofty
armament ceiling. its stone pillars and golden
balconies it impressed Mary more deeply than any
she had ever seen. So rich and dazzling was it.
with such oriental magnfcence. that it might
have been the royal audience chamber OF a Solomon
The Minstrel's Hall had suggested to her all the
glamour OF poesy,- golden harps and inspired trou
badors chanting before splendid courts.-but the
Throne Room was overpoWeringly unique that its
symbol euded her. She felt. however. that it mys
tcaly portrayed an idealists conception of kingly
power.
The guide with reverental air. led the tourists out
of the Throne Room and down the great marble
stairway. At the entrance to the courtyard ne ac-
cepted their tips with look that implied that they
could not compensate him for what he had shown
them. Mary the clergyman, and Fraulen Lechner
came down the mountain road together in the rear
of the other tourists
Mary turned impulsively to Fraulein Lechner and
said, Il shall never, never believe that who
could build such perfect palace as this could be
insane!
Mary you are lovely in your enthusiasms Let
not talk about it, however. How well built this
steep road isl How glorious is that golden glow from
the sinking on the purple fir tops over therei
The conversation, thus diverted by Fraulen Lech
ner, glanced amid lighter subjects the trio took
olting steps down the steep incline. The clergyman
very pleasantly expressed his pleasure at meeting
fellow travellers who spoke his own language. He
urbanely begged to take the liberty of introducing
himself. The card he presented with bow to Frau
len Lechner bore the inscription of the Rev Richard
Cyril Hamilton Fraulein Lechner made known her
own and Marys
A S they reached a in the mountain roadway
that was just above the inn, they heard ascend
ing from the garden fierce, demoniac shrieks. + mil
ton paused wonderingly in his well balanced
tences. H. bewilderment increased when. after
instant of anxious listening Mary sprang wildly
down the mountain looking like flying nymph in
these sylvan surroundings The more sedate Ger
man fraulein seemed also possessed with sudden
frenzy for she too took up the winged fight in the
skirt swept path of the fair American.

gious and Educational Circles.
 Little Rock.-The article printed in the Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn, few days ago relative to the movement to remove the university from Fayetteville to Little Rock caused considerable activity in Washington, Benton and other north west Arkansas counties.
 A number of letters were received in Little Rock making inquiries as to the strength of the removal move ment. It was stated ;n the letters that the Democrats of northwest AT. kansas are becoming thoroughly or. ganized and will make a stubborn fight against the passage of the bill by the next legislature.
 They also say that they will send strong delegations to the next Dem ocratic state convention to defeat any movement to insert a removal plank in the state platform. As stat ed in the article printed last week, Democratic leaders of Washington county will attempt to stop the move ment by threatening retaliatory leg islation.
 Little Rock will make very in- viting proposition to secure the uni versity, and in the meantime will raise a bonus to reimburse Washing ton county for the amount of money the citizens of Fayetteville paid out to get the school many years ago.

TAFT LAYS Az
 CORNERSTONE
WIELDs SILVER TRoWEL AT A UNIVERSALIST CHURCH SITE IN OREGON.
ADDRESSES CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Chief Executive Pledges Support to Any Institution Which Propounds
 Doctrine of True Religion and Moraity-Second Sermon on Tour.

Portland, Ore-President Taft has preached another sermon. The scene has changed from the Mormon taber nacle at Salt Lake to the corner stone laying of the First Universa- list church in East Portland.
 The president handled the silver trowel and worked hard to see that the stone was properly adjusted. His apparent earnestness called out great applause.
 The president referred to his Yari- ous church experiences and in con- clusion said:
 No church in this country, how ever humble it may be, that breaches the doctrine of true religion and true morality, will lack my earnest SUD- port to make it more influential whenever opportunity offers"
 President Taft also visited St. Mary's Roman Catholic school and made a five minute address to the school children in which he declared that loyalty to the church meant loy- atty to the country.
 After the president had been intro duced at the corner stone laying by Rev. James Corby, pastor of the church, he said:
 "I don't know that anyone ques- tions the prOpriety of my being here and officiating on such an occasion as this, or that an explanation of any sort is called for, but I want to say that l believe it to be the duty of the president of the United States to welcome and suggest every in- strument by which the morals and religion of the community may be elevated and maintained. Not long ago I oficiated at the corner stone laying of an orthodox Congregational church in Washington. Then I ap- peared in the pulpit of Jewish tab ernacle at Pntsburg. But a few days ago I helped lay the corner stone of a Catholic institution at Helena. Mont
 "Anc now 1t is my great pleasure to assist here today in laying the corner stone of this Universalist church, which, like my own church. the Unitarian church. is known as a liberal church.
 "I am always glad .o be present at such occasions as these, for be- lieve the corner stone of modern civ ilization must continue to be religion and morality.
 Il am not an Optimist. I believe We are much better today than we were fifty years ago, man by man. Of course, you hear f,om time to time of selfishness and greed, but the Cniy reason these instances are giv ell prominence is because we con. demn them the more and believe that in calling attention to them they will he made more and more infre- Guent."

 SCHOOL BOARDS
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FARMERS UNION ACCEPTED IN MAKING SELECTIONS.
WILL HOLD CONFERENCE SOON
Belief Is Expressed That Boards Will Get Offers of POO Acres of Land and Cash Bonus of $4o,ooo 10 Se- cure Location of School.

Little Rock.-Governor Donaghey has announced his appointments to the four agricultural school boards in Arkansas and the plans for the immediate launching of the move l ment to build four new agricultural schools in the state. The act pro- viding for the building of the schools divides the state into four districts, and a board of trustees Is appointed for an agricultural school in each one of the four districts The ap- pointments are as follows: First District-C. E. Bush, White county; J. J. Bellamy, Lawrence county; Dr. 0. N. Hammett. Greene county: J. B. Lewis, Craighead coun- ty; Love Banks, Cross county.
 Second District-W. U. Balkman, Logan county; o. P Nixon, Van Blu ren county; H. s. Mobley. Washing ton county; J. R. Williams, Franklin county: A D. Shinn, Pope county.
 Third District-J. T. M. Holt, Hampstead county; W. E. Tate, Qua ch itacounty; J. E. Rogers, Colum- bia county; P B. Jackson, Saline county; Samuel l.. Samson, Clark county
 Fourth District-I A. Bird. Drew county; A g. Sorrells, Union coun- ty; H. B. Bowers, Pulaski county; J. Coleman Palmer, Monroe county; James Gould, Jefferson county.
 Governor Donaghey stated that the executive committee, president and secretary of the Farmers Union had suggested the names of three men for each board in each district, and that their recommendation had been followed out.
 The governor said thGI he would call joint conference cf the four T am busy now with the state cap itol but hope to have that matter fairly well out of my hands within the next twenty days" said he, and will then call conference of all four boards to meet with me here and talk over the agricultural school proposition"
 It is understood that he will sug- gest to the boards that they get the best offers possible for the locations of the schools. Each board will have to locate the school in it's district, and cities and towns throughout Ar kansas have long ago started move ments to secure favor It is thought that the competition for the schools will wax so warm that offers will be not less than $40,00O and 200 acres of ground.
 The state is not financially able to proceed with the establishment of the schools, but if a beard secures s40,00e or more in cash and tract of 200 acres of land it odH establish a school at once and will not have to call on the state until next spring, when, it is believed, the state will be able to furnish the $1Ge000 appro- priated by the legislature for the es- tablishment of the schools.
