TRIBUTE TO 'PREXY'
sHAIL MINNESOTA" WAS MOST
INTERESTINGLY SUNG AT CON-
MENcEMENT EXERCISES
OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Nearly 600 BIack-Garbed Seniors Re-
ceive Diplomas From DR.. North
rop's Hand-Ex-Pres FolWeIl
There.

Minneapolis. - Two abreast, accom-
led by the University band, 592 grad
yates of the University of Minnesota
wendell their way from the chapel to
the armory to receive their diplomas.
AS the leaders reached the armory en-
trance the line halted, the two ranks
separated, and formed a lane of black
gowned, square-capped graduates,
through which President Cyrus North
rop, followed by the members OF the
faculty, walked into the building.
His head barred, and attired in the
black gown, with the hood lined with
purple silk to denote his honorary de-
gree of doctor of law, President North
rop stepped firmly through the long
line of students who stood hats in
hands and heads bowed. He seemed
to have shed for the day the weight of
years and labor that has commenced
to bow his shoulders. Members of the
faculty did not wear gowns, appear
ing in the conventional garb of every
day life.
Hardly had the graduates found
their seats when the band started to
play Hail, Minnesota" The entire
audience sang the first two verses and
then the graduates, on their feet,
every eye turned towards the form of
President Northrop, standing by the
dais on the platform, sang in slower
time the second verse:
Hail to thee, our Prexy, Sire,
Thou hast made us all thine own,
And our hearts one boon aspire,
That our love may be thy throne.
Throughout our future years
Naueht can e'er thy memory mar,
We will guard thy fame
And adore thy name,
Thou shalt be our Northern star.
When the singers had settled in
their seats again, the band played
1.-THE Gay Musician" till the crowd
had quieted, and then President North
rop led in prayer.
After a brief service of music, the
degrees were conferred, each graduate
receiving his diploma from the hand
of President Northrop. AS each di-
ploma was given, the friends of the
recipient in the audience applauded,
and frequently waved their handker-
chiefs. Though many of the women
in the audience showed their emotion,
not a single untoward event marked
the ceremonies.
The candidates for the masters de-
gree, four in science and twenty-seven
in literature and arts, were the last
to receive the coveted sheepskins. The
masters were privileged to discard the
cap and wear in it's stead hood. The
masters from the science department
had hoods trimmed in gold, maroon,
and yellow; those from the depart
ment of literature and arts in gold,
maroon and white.
After the presentation of the mas
ter's degrees, the honor students were
announced, each being loudly ap-
plauded as his name was mentioned.
The band then led the audience in the
national hymn America" after which
benediction was pronounced and the
ceremonies were over.

1t Mas His Turn.

Two weary travellers were compelled
70 seek lodging in a country hotel
that was unpromising in looks at
least. Upon comforting with the own
er the prospects frightened.
Certainly, gentlemen" he said, Il
have one spare bed that the two OF
you may have-a large feather one.
This way, please"
They followed and were loath to
anticipate much ease, but accepted
the only thing and retired. One was
soon snoring long and loudly. the
other could not sleep. At about in
the morning the wakeful one nudged
his companion.
Here, get up! Times up" he said.
What's the matter?" asked the
other; 1--WE are not on duty"
mo, but it's my turn to sleep on
the feather" was the reply.

Confession by Johnny Evers.

Johnny Evers of the Chicago Cubs
is considered the brainiest man play
ing baseball. He makes more out of
the ordinary plays ID almost every
game than any other ball player
makes in ten games. And yet the
other night he made a speech at a
banquet in Chicago, which demon
strates that players are born and not
manufactured. He made the aston
ishing statement that he had never
in his life read the book Of rules on
the game, but instead he said: II
take the plays as they come up, and
my noodle usually tells me the right
play to make"

BY KNOCKOUT.

r HE eyes of the sporting world are
j on San Francisco.
Even baseball with it's thousands
of followers has been forced to take
a back seat until July 4, when James
]. Jeffries, retired champion, who re-
turns to the ring to win back the
glory for the white race, and Jack
Johnson, champion, meet for the
worlds supremacy in pugilism.
That it will be great battle there
is no doubt. Jeffries at his best never
had superior. Few persons who
have followed the pugilistic game be-
ieve there ever was a fighter who
could have whipped the Jeffries that
trimmed Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim
Corbett. But right there is the ques-
ton on which this fight hinges.
Is Jim Jeffries the man he was in
1899, when he took the championship
away from "lanky Bob" or in 1902,
when he defeated the Cornishman a
second time? Reports from Jeffries'
training camp for the last month have
said that he is in the greatest of con-
dition. Experts from all over the
land have expressed their astonish-
ment that the "big fellow" should
have been able to bring himself to
such rare form. Jim Corbett has been
with Jeffries since May 20 and they
have had some wonderful tits with
the gloves. Joe Choyinski, though
much lighter, Brother Jack Jeffries
and Bob Armstrong have tried their
best to knock Jim out, so goes the re-
ports, but he has been too much for
them. Corbett's aim has been to give
Jeffries speed and judgment of dis
lance, so easily lost by a man who
has been out Of the ring six years.
When the match was made they
said Jeffries would not be able to get
into condition. But if taking of many
pounds and hardening his muscles
makes condition Jeffries has it. He
will weigh close to 225 pounds when
he strips for the fray, but will there
be behind that mass of bone and
muscle the stamina required for a
battle with a man like Johnson? Can
didly ! think the stamina will be
there.
Jeffries never has fought a man
as big or as good as Johnson. This
is saying good deal of the man who
dethroned Fitzsimmons, but the John
son Of today probably would have
whipped the Fitzsimmons who fell
under Jeffries' crushing blows. It is
true that Johnson never has whipped
a man who was the equal of Fitz in
his palmy days, but that is because
he never had the chance. Johnson
never has been known as a great
"knocker out" Men who had any
claim at all to class have stood him
of. but Jack is loafer in the ring
and has always seen fit to take it easy
and go just hard enough to get the
long end of the purse. Johnson also
is in the condition Of his life.
But this battle with Jeffries will be
different. johnson will have to make
fast battle. He will have to worry
JEFF with his speed. He must make
the big fellow use his legs. 1t would
he suicide and tho light would be over

Children.

Listen to this opinion from David
Starr Jordan:
There is nothing in all the world
80 important as children, nothing So
interesting. If you ever wish to go in
for some philanthropy, if you ever
wish to be of any real use in the
world, do something for children. If
you ever yearn to be truly wise, study
children. We can dress the sore,
bandage the wounded, imprison the
criminal, heal the sick and bury the
dead, but there is always chance
that we can save child. If the great
army of philanthropists ever exter-
inmate sin and pestilence, ever work
out our races salvation. it will be be-
cause little child has led them

Spring Val1ey.-A most uncommon
suicide has just occurred here. Sibert
Hermann, tailor, who came here
from Austin, Mimi, short time ago,
evidently tired of life, got up early,
went to the river at the foot of
Broad street, removed his coat and
hat as if he was going to do something
very commonplace, waded into the
stream to the depth of about foot,
folded his hands, and then lay face
downward in the water. Before he
could be reached he was dead.

An Irish policeman who was also
something of sportsman, had been
posted on road near Dublin to catch
the scorching motorist. Presently one
came along at 20 miles an hour, and
the policeman saw it pass without a
sign. Next came large motor travel
ing at 40 miles and hour, and the eyes
of the guardian of the public bright
ened. And then one passed at the rate
of a mile minute. "Begorrah," said

So far as the records show, including
April, 1910, 496 cases have been filed
this year, against 223 of last year.
Youthful marriage is attributed as the
cause. Cruel and inhuman treatment

HOTEL AT WHITE BEAR BURNS.
Third Building On the Same Site Is
Destroyed BY Fire.

White observation-disclosures are sup
posed to have set fire to the new ORR
entail hotel at White Bear lake, which
was totally destroyed, entailing a loss
estimated at about $4,000. Henry Die
rig, 971 Dayton avenue, st. Paul, pro-
prietor, said that he carried only $14,-
500 insurance on the place.
When the fire was first discovered
by passerby, the flames were already
belching from the windows in different
parts of the building, which makes the
fire marshal believe it was started in
several places at once.
Jerry Flynn, the caretaker, was
aroused by the cracking of flames
barely in time to make his escape, half
dressed. An impromptu fire brigade
was organized, which fought the blaze
until help arrived from st. Paul.

King" He'll have to keep jeff off for
at least ten rounds and then peck him
to pieces if he wins. To do this to
a man who has never been knocked
down will be a hard task. Is Jack
Johnson equal to it? The big bettors
say he is not. Their money is talk

Billy Papke says the criticisms
hurled at his victory over Joe Thorn
as are unjust. In a signed statement
sent broadcast by Papke he explains
why it would have been folly for him
to have faxed the match and let
Thomas stay more than Is rounds.
The critics seem to have ignored the
fact that Thomas never has been the
easiest man in the ring to whip. He
has a 20 round draw with Stanley
Ketchel to his credit and it took the
Michigan Assassin" 80 rounds to de-
feat him once before, although in
their last battle Ketchel won in two
rounds.

for use in connection with the sew

the iron so called Harold Allison

sack that was half full of powder
he put some under the iron and a
little on top of it. Still holding
the sack Of powder in his hand,
he struck a match, stopped down
lit the powder and it all went off
including that he had in his hand
His arm was badly burned and

when members of the Macs team,
fans from their, and sOfficials
connected with the association, in

practically stole two of the three

the boys said the story was true.
Of course, to lose a game through
the rotten work of the umpire is
worse than hard luck, but it seem
that it must be endured, because
it can't be cured
We lose the first game at Me-
