HENDRIX GIFT IS ANNOUNCED
$75,oo is Appropriated for Con-
 way College.
Announcement of Gift Not Taken tt Mean Removal of Conditions for its
 Acceptance

 Acceptance.
 New York May 27.-A number of appropriations were announced today by the General Education board, among them several of S2oo, ,ooo or more. In 1907 John D. Rockefeller gave the General Education board an endowment of S32 ,ooo, ,ooc. The list of appropri ations announced today includes:
 For agricultural demonstration work in the southern states, SIo2, 900; for professors of secondary education in the universities of the Southern states, S23'75o; Hendrix College, Conway, Ark, S75, 900.
 The announcement of the gift of S75, ,ooo to Hendrix College as contained in the above Associated Press telegram is not. taken by the college authorities to mean that the conditions under which 1t is to be :granted have been removed. Some time ago Dr. Wallace But. trick, secretary of the General Education board, informed the representatives of Hendrix that the board would give S75,oo to the endowment of this institution, provided the total endowment was raised to $500, ,ooo. The college was granted until March, 1910, to comply with the condition, and the commissioner, Dr. Jam, s Thomas, is now at work pushing the endowment toward the S225,- 900 mark, so that the gift may be accepted.
 | klPresident s. Anderson of Hen- drix is out of the city today, but Prof. w. E. Hogan, secretary of the faculty, stated 1t was his opin- ion that the newspaper report was formal announcement ot the gift which had been offered some time ago, and meant no change i'll the conditions under which it is to be granted.
 Ano,her interesting item of the boards appropriation is that for agricultural demonstration work in.the south. It is not generally known, but nevertheless a fact, that the expenses of this work are borne in large part by John D. Rockefeller of Standard Oil fame, the money being distributed through he United States depart ment of agriculture. The salary and expenses of Col. A. V. Swaty, who superin tended the work in this county last year, were paid from this fund, but this year the appropriations were exhausted and the merchants raised 5000 to em- ploy an expert for the entire sea- son, J. E. Rogers being appointed d to the position by State Agent J. A. Evans.

Twice recently I'm New Jersey wo-
men have lost cases In court because
they wore high heels on their shoes.
Damage suits were brought against
street car companies because of inju-
ries sustained by the women In alight-
ing from the cars.
The companies showed In court that
the plaintiffs were wearing shoes with
opera heels at the time of the acci.
dents, and the suits were dismissed.
In legal phrase, these women were
guilty Of "contrbutory negligence"
That Is to say, If you have an acct
dent and you have contributed to the
negligence Of the company by your
negligence you are guilty along with
he company and cannot recover.
1t was held to be negligence OIL the
part Of the women that they should
wear high heels that tended to TIN
them on the steps Of the cars.
Well
No mere man can quite conceive why
any woman should want to wear this
kind of stilted foot gear.
Is Ii because she conceives the idea
that her foot looks smaller I'm such an
unnatural posture? AS a matter of
fact, the foot of my lady appears lar
ger in such a situation.
And her carriage!
No ordinary woman is able to main.
tain a graceful poise OF her body on
stilted shoes. A danseuse who has de
voted her life and talents to posing on
her toes may do so without awkward
ness, but the unpracticed woman who
tries it makes n really pitiful spectacle
of herself.
That the high heeled shoe is TN
healthy goes without saying.
Any physician will explain that not
only the limbs, but the various parts
Of the body are put into n false and
strained position, causing derangc.
ment.
The curious thing to the average
masculine mind Is how q poor creature
can transport herself at all under such
difficulties.
And

street with her feet thrust forward.

ROOSEVELT
AND TOLSTOY

The Commoner has a brief article
by Mr.. Bryan on Mr.. Roosevelt's
recent criticism OF Tolstoi in "The
Outlook"
Mr. Bryan says that Mr.. Roosevelt
the exponent Of the brute force
idea-that man is an animal and
must be ready to kill any other an
lmal that opposes his plans. with
Tolstoi man is the spiritual agent
.of God and Is bound to observe spir-
itual laws.
Continuing Mr.. Bryan says:
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that man
would degenerate without an occa-
3ional opportunity for blood letting:
folstoi believes that love IS greater
than force, and that man is ennobled
b. accepting love as the controlling
principle OF life. Naturally Mr.
Roosevelt thinks that the world cam
be scared into peace when arma-I
ments become great enough TO makeI
each nation afraid OF every other nal
zion. Tolstoi believes that the spir-|
1T that leads nations to desire bid
navies will lead them to use them3
without excuse, and he insists that}
a good example will do more than
threat to prevent war.
This fundamental difference be,
tween Roosevelt and ToIstoi is not3
however, new. When Jesus visltet
