Rear Admiral kImbaII.

er man, is due the credit of our hav.
ing emerged from the Nicaragua i'm.
broglio with SO few blunders when the
possibility of creating numerous ones
and accentuating those already made
were SO numerous and prolific.
But the admiral showed himself to
be diplomat OF high order. He
won the confidence and esteem OF
the whole Of Nicaragua. irrespective
of party. He was cheered wherever
he went, by the Madriz government
party. by the Estradists. by the inter.
ventionists.
What we need" one of the inter.
ventionists enthusiastically said to
the admiral at the time when inter.
vention talk was running high, "is
American occupation and the strong
arm Of your country compelling order
In Nicaragua"
What you really most need" the
admiral, with his customary good
sense replied. "is less talk of revolu.
ton. less importations of fire arms,
and more Of farm implements"
The Nicaraguan newspapers have
had columns of complimentary refer.
ences to Admiral Kimball. Consid.
ering that he was in Nicaraguan wa
ters and in command of a military
force which might any day have been
celled into use against Nicaragua. this
praise from these Sir Huberts IL
praise indeed. With three parties
struggling for supremacy. with the
one In power being distinctly hostile
to everything American. the situation
from any point Of view was an ex.
tremely delicate one and required in.
finite tact to handle. The admiral is
possessed Of that tact In a high de.
gree and brought 1t into play. Not
only did he prevent any conflict be.
tween the forces of the United States
and those Of the contending parties
but in SO doing fully maintained the
dignity Of the flag and met every sit.
uation with strict observance Of the
requirements Of International law and
Of naval usage.
The admiral was born in Paris, Me-,
on January ., 1848. He entered the
Naval academy on July 81. 1866, grad.
uating for years later. In 1870 he was
promoted to the rank Of ensign and In
the following year to that Of master,
. rank which was abolished many
years ago. He was one of the flrst Of
his profession En- this side of the At
lantic to recognize the potential value
Of the submarine. and It was largely
through his efforts that John p, Hol.
land was eventually enabled to con.
struc. the pioneer Of that type OF vss-
ssl. Ono naval board after anothe,
sat on the device. and sat on II IL,
more senses than ona.

Old Penitentiary No More

Little Rock, Dec. 3.-By tonight
the historic old Arkansas peniten-
tiary, with all the tales of misery
and cruelty TO the convicts in years
gone by could be told by the walls,
will in reality be history. A shift
was made the couvIcts Tuesday
afternoon so that large force of
"peckerwoo1s," as white convicts
are termed, began to swing the
sledge and use the crowbar in tear
ing down the old building and walls
which stand upon the capitol
grounds. The old brick and stone
wall which was built in 1910, with
the office building, disappeared yes
terday, mass of brick aud stone on
the ground to be hauled to bitches
and gulleys on the grounds which
need filling. Today the sheds under
which was used for years as the din
ing hall of the prison, will be next
to follow. The old penitentlary
cell building will not be torn away
until the grounds are cleaned off, as
the convicts doing the work are
quartered there. The scaffolding
about the stone dome of the capitol
also began to come down Tuesday,
so the building on the outside will
have a completed appearance by
Sunday.

Dear Editor:

l(SHA ANNANOhs
This has been such delightful
week for the University students that
must write you few words out of
gratitude at least.
The first thing of the week was the
incompatible series of readings by
Mrs. Bertha Knuz, Baker of Chioa-
go, who is recognized as Americas
greatest interpreter of the best
literature. She believes and feels
that the create t treasures of life
American lie not in mines and
/ fields and factories, but in
minds and hearts of the people, and
her scholarly mind, sympathetic
heaS, wonderful voice, and her
great spiritual endowment admira,
bly, equip her for appealing to and
enriching these treasures of life.
Those who heard her interpreta-
tion of the famous "Chanticleer"
by Rostand, followed on Tuesday
at 4;SO O'Clock by the "Blue Bird''
and at 8 p. m. by "What a Wo-
man Knows" can never recall either
without thinking of her masterly
skill and artistic charm, without
recalling the reader herself for, by
her art, she touches life and makes
it deeper and sweet. Were l to
stay here for years, l would con,
slider this one of the greatest priv
iliges to enjoy.
The second was the Thanksgiv.
ing dinner arranged for the Dor
mitor, boys by Miss Burns, ouI
much beloved matron. Turkey
and the other usual viands were
served in very palatable way and
how we boys did enjoy the din
ner I'll leave for you to imagine.
but our hearts were made more
grateful to Him above by the low
ing kindness of friends and loved
ones at home, who remembered so
many of us with good things from
home.
Then just after supper, when
darkness began to wrap US in hi
sable mouth, we received the glad
message: "The Razorbacks" of
Arkansas had rooted the Tigers OF
