CAREER OF AN I0WAN.

The Inauguration of DR.. Shanklin as
the head of the greatest Methodist
seat of learning in the world is
source of qualification to countless
number of Iowans who learned to ad-
mire him while he was pastor of st.
Luke's church in Dubuque. DR.. Shank
lin went to Dubuque from Seattle in
1906, having previously been pastor OF
a church at Spokane. Learned and
dignified, yet easy of approach, he
soon became leader in local relig-
ious affairs Broad-minded and toler-
ant, he made friends among all de-
nominations through his kindness
and close contact with people.
In 1904 DR.. Shanklin was elected
president of Upper Iowa university at
Fayette and 1t was there that his
work attracted attention and eventu-
ally brought about his advancement
to the presidency of Wesleyan. While
Upper Iowa has always been pros
porous institution, it became more so
under the guidance of the former Du-
buque pastor. During his incumbency
he dluOSl uOuUlCu tuC huhuCi VI STU
dents and made many improvements
on the building, etc. His greatest
achievement, however. was the rails
ing of an endowment fund of $780,
900 for the college. When DIR. Shank.
lin undertook this monumental task
there were skeptics who doubted his
ability to successfully complete the
undertaking, but his indomitable will
power and personal magnetism tri-
umphed and after comparatively
short time every dollar of the sum re-
quired was pledged.
While engaged in this work DIR.
Shanklin received other offers of adj
vancement, but he declined because 1t
was his desire to put Upper Iowa
upon a firm basis

He craved Variety.

An Oregon editor once got a big ad'
vertisement from a place which sold
nothing but oysters. The place had
just opened, and, while the proprietor
was willing to advertise, he didn't have
the cash to spend, so the newspaper
man took a card which entitled him
to $40 worth Of oysters. "A few days
later a tramp printer strolled into the
Gazette Office and wanted a job" re-
lates the editor. 81 had nothing to
offer him, but told the man he might
sleep back in the composing room, and
Of he had no money to buy food

A wealthy man living in an English

church, offered to give the choir a
treat and decided on the really prince
ly one Of taking them for a week to
Paris. This he did, escorting them
while there to all the places of inter-
est and beauty in that charming city.
but not during the whole of their stay
or ever on the return did one OF the
men say to him that they had liked
the trip or had enjoyed themselves.
Naturally anxious to know whether
they had done so, a few days after
their return he asked one OF the
churchwardens, a farmer in the vii
lage, whether he thought the men had
enjoyed their time in Paris. The
churchwarden cogitated for a moment
or two.
