advantages as a place of first settle

the Chicago drsinage ship canal.
Work on this canal was begun Sept.

which tend to mar the smoothness<

avert the danger of incidents Of this
kind necessitates arranging every de-

This is especially true in the case of

naturally anxious that amid the classic
surroundings of old Harvard the pro-

roic life and glorious death of the
Maid of Orleans should be as perfect
as possible from both the historical
and dramatic standpoints.

subjects usually describe their travels

lieved in being first of all familiar with
ones own country and well informed
on the men and movements and Incl

foolhardy adventures recorded in his

Within the picture sque ruins of Mel

ert Bruce
This valiant king of Scotland was
attacked with leprosy, and when he
found that he was to die he called to
him the chiefs and barons who had
been faithful to him, and asked them
Kingdom together for his son David.
He also asked them to crown him
king as soon as he reached the proper
age. to obey and serve him we'll, and
to marry him to some lady suitable TO
his station.
The king then asked Sir James
Douglas to step forward, and in the
presence of all the knights he asked
of his last service. Addressing him
as MY dear friend Lord James Doug
las he recalled to this faithful fol-
lower that he had suffered many
troubles in order to hold the rights of
his crown; and then ne added, that he
had made a vow to go on a crusade
and fight for the Holy Sepulcnre

point he said. but our Lord was not
willing, and gave me so much to do in
my lifetime that my body cannot ac-

gallant or enterprising or better formed
to accomplish my intentions than
yourself. And l beg and entreat of
you, dear and special friend, that you
will undertake this expedition for the
love of me, so that l shall die more
contented''
According to the expressed wishes of

and hearing that Alphonso of Spain
was waging war against the Saracen
king of Granada, he decided that King
Robert would wish him to employ his
time of waiting in the good cause OF
fighting the Moors.
Near Teba, in Spain, in the midst or
a great battle when defeat seemed I'm
minent, Sir James pulled the casket
from his neck and hurled it into the
thick of the fight, dashing after it and
calling on all to follow this noble
heart.
While trying to save one of the
knights in his train, Sir William St
Clare of Roslin, he fell. His compan-
ions found his body and the casket,
and took them back to Scotland.

Suppose you don't make friends

and somehow don't appeal to men;
suppose, in spite of all your efforts
against it, you are hopelessly and in
sanely jealous on the slightest provo
cation; wouldn't it be splendid to have
someone to whom you could go and

Avoid the Extremes

of those six words is applicable to it's
subject, and time and words are fritz
tered away in this unthinking manner
because the habit of dealing in ex-
tremes has grown from day to day.
Let us introduce a few sane. straight
forward words into our conversation,
and when we feel tempted to effuse
over an ordinary subject let us check
our speech and adjust words tc the
subject under discussion
In our ideas of life it would be better
to keep in the golden middle way Do
not joyfully rush along the paths with
eyes closed to the pitfalls and STUN
bling blocks, for there are such things
On the other hand do not view affairs
of life from a morose, morbid ground
You and l are we'll aware that there are
people and things worth while in this
world and in the rush of business and
home troubles we must not take an
extreme, one toned view
Any distorted, exaggerated ideas
must be refocused through a mature
sensible mind. and the elimination of
extremes will result. This will give a
secure feeling, which is always the re-
suit of the golden mean.

The Horse.

Remember the heavy horse is not
intended to break speed records.
The disposition of a horse is often
ruined by unnecessarily severe bits.
Remember the horse is an extreme
ly sensitive animal, and that he never
complains.
One good colt saved will pay many
times the expense of putting ground
wires on all 1he pasture fences.
1t is just as easy to speak kindly to
a horse as to yell at him and the re-
suits are far more satisfactory.
The young colts should be allowed
the freedom of the pasture. Liberal eX-
ercise is necessary for development.
Equal PARTS of ground oats and
corn make an excellent ration for
young horses Some add bran, thus
making the ration more rich in protein
and phosphorus which build up bone
and muscle.
After a hard days work or a Tong
drive upon the road, give the horse
the best of care in order that he may
be ready for the next days work.
1t is a good plan to go down to the
stable Just before bedtime and see that
everything is all right. You may save
a valuable horse by this little trip.
There is a lot of satisfaction in the
way the large business houses take
care of their teams. It's getting to be
the exception for them to have poor
abused horses. They are good adver-
tisements, and an advertisement is
worth good deal
IF a horse has a sore shoulder try
working with two sweat pads under
the hane instead of a collar says an
exchange. Far better take him out OF
harness entirely for few days. It's in
human to work a horse with raw
shoulders Try wearing a stiff collar
and a heavy coat on a collar boil IL

NEW SULTAN OF TURKEY RE.
cEIvEs "swoRD OF osMAN"
IN SIMPLE CEREMONY.
NO EYES OF CHRISTIANS
PERMITTED TO WITNESS RITES
Ceremony Corresponds to Coronation in
Other Countries - Scenes Strange
Admixture of Eastern Superstition
and Western Civilization.

Constantinople, May 10.-The cere-
money Of girding the sword OF Osman
upon Mehmed. ", the new sultan Of
Turkey, occurred today in the Mosque
Ayoub, the only sacred edif1ce in Con-
stantinople which christians are not
allowed to enter. The function was car
ried out according to a prearranged
program. At its conclusion his majesty
started to drive thru Stamboul at the
head Of an imposing procession.
This ceremony corresponds to that Of
the coronation in western countries. IT
lasted only q few moments. The an
cient rite Of spiritual power consign-
ing temporal power to the sultan was
witnessed by no foreign eyes. The
sultan proceeded in launch from DOL
ma Bagtsche palace to the mosque,
which stands at the waters edge, where
the rite was performed. Then attended
by grand vizier and .sheik- ul-i islam,
members Of the cabinet, chiefs of the
army the two higher grades Of Ulemae,
the Top Kapou palace, about six miles
distant, to kiss the robes of the prophet
at Ayoub Mosque. Mehmed v drew the
scimeter of his ancestor, Osman I,
founder Of the Ottoman empire, from
its sheath, and, standing in the square
in front of the group Of buildings called
the sublime port he raised the weapon
on high. and by this immemorial act,
took possession of the Turkish en-
pire.
The action of the sultan was fol-
lowed by an outburst of shouting from
the people massed beyond the lines OF
surrounding troops, together with a
fanfare Of trumpets and the rattle of
musketry. as the soldiers fired a sa-
Lutte. but above all this noise, rose sharp
and clear, the voices of chorus Of
schoolboys, chanting Midhat Pasha's
hymn Of liberty. The scene. was a
strange admixture of historical east
ern observance and modern western
civilization,
