1.-THE late Frederick Burton was the
worlds foremost authority on the
American Indian" said Yale ethnolo-
gist Burton was almost alone in his
field. There are, you know, so few
students of Indian lore.
HE said to me once, with vexed
laugh, that he found it quite as i'm.
possible to discuss the Indian with
people as a Boston critic found 1t to
discuss poetry with the girl he took
down to dinner
THE girl was very pretty. Leaning
her dimpled elbows on the table, she
said to the critic:
And what is your lecture to be
about professor"
"I shall lecture on Keats he re-
piled.
"'Oh, professor, she gushed, what
are keats?' Washington Star.

THE woNDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY

Has Proved q Great Success-Thou-
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.
The Wanderberry or Sunbelry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs. the well-known
scotsman Of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say II
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs. the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt. says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted
and marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says X
fruits abundantly even in pure sand
In the short season Of Northwestern
Canada it is godsend, and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden
truck
d. S. Hill. Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
it yields $3.50 worth of fruit per acre
with him. Mrs. j. H. Powers, 4732
Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
]. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is sim
ply delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 1895 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.

garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

The Senate acted promptly Thurs
day on the summons of the District
Court for the joint committee on print
ing to appear in the paper award pro-
ceedings brought by the Valley Paper
Company, by instructing the Senate
members of the committee to ignore
the summons. The Senate denied the
right of the courts to interfere with
its legislative function. Senator Borah
in a speech on the income tax asserted
that the fears of Governor Hughes that
the constitutional amendment would
make possible the taxing of state and
municipal securities were groundless.
The House spent the entire day in de-
batting whether the House members OF
the joint printing committee should
obey the court summons to appear in
the Valley Paper Company's case. The
majority of the judiciary committee
favored compliance, but three mem
bers, including Chairman Parker,
brought in minority report, taking
the view adopted by the Senate. A
night session was held and the major.
ity report finally adopted.

requiring the collection of statistics
regarding national and state irrigation.
After considering the rivers and har-
bors appropriation bill for about seven
hours, the House succeeded in disposi-
ing of 20 of the 100 pages of that
measure without making any import
ant changes. Speaker Cannon obtain
ing the floor, gave his approval to the
pending bill, incidentally telling the
Democrats if they should ever come
into control of the House they would
realize the necessity of providing meth
/ods of procedure that will allow them
to transact business or else by mac
ton disa2point the people who had
placed them in the majority.

diplomatic and consular bill appropri-
ating $3,700,000 was passed by the
House. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Fitzger-
aid of New York charged that the ac-

Morris tribune., 1910-03-18

The recent dedication of the Sayles-
Hill gymnasium will go down as red
letter day in the athletic annals of
Carleton College. There has long
been need for better training facili-
ties for Carleton athletic teams and
when it was announced last year that
thru the generosity of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred B. Hill the long desired gymna-
SUM was to become reality, the joy
of the student body knew no bonds.
The Sayles- Hill gymnasium is one
of the largest and best equipped gym
nasiums in the Northwest. Certainly
none of the smaller colleges of the
state can boast of one that compares
with it either in size or equipment.
The cost of the building has been
about $57, 100. To this is added some
81, 800 for equipment, and 81 900 more
of apparatus is on the way. This
makes a total cost of $63, ZOO. The
building is practically fire-proof and
is built of red sand mould brick and is
trimmed with Bedford limestone. It
is 173 feet long and 65 feet in width.
1t is two stories high and there is a
tight, airy basement under the whole
building. Altho utility has in no way
been sacrificed to beauty the building
would be big addition to any cam
pus.
The first floor is taken up largely by
the big gym floor, 6Ox125 it. Around
the walls of this big room is arranged
a complete equipment of all kinds of
apparatus for gymnasium work. The
floor is marked off into large court
for intercollegiate basket ball, two
smaller courts for practicing the
Morris tribune., 1910-03-18

game, and full sized indoor baseball
diamond. In the basement is found
every convenience that could be wish
ed for in a thoroly up-to-date gym
nasium. There is a big airy locker
room with $50 steel lockers. Open
ing off the locker room is the shower
room containing the best needle point
showers with an abundance of hot
and cold water. From the shower
room one enters the swimming pool
one of the finest features of the build
ing. It is 25x60 feet, lined with white
enamel brick, and varies in depth from
four feet to over nine in the deepest
part. Needless to say, this is about
the most popular room in the entire
building and is generally filed with a
splashing, rollicking crowd of fellows.
Separated from the swimming pool by
a passageway for spectators and
screened in with heavy wire netting
is the big batting cage where aspirants
for the baseball team may be seen
daily working out under efficient
coaching of Mr.. Maurice Kent of Iowa
University.
The second floor is taken up by the
large gallery running track and the
mems club rooms. The running track
is unusually large, measuring eighteen
and half laps to a mile. A large
squad of tract material is out for daily
practice and track prospects are
bright.
But the mems clubrooms are the
distinctive features of this floor and
for that matter of the whole building.
These rooms are designed by the
donors to become the center OF the
