told me that the school scarcely amount

lack of ideal.
The success or the American schools
and their popularity is due to the high
American ideal that is maintained by
the faculties.

are just as essential for good citizens

We aim to make our students full
men: to elevate them to the highest
standard Of manhood. That is the reason
of the influence and the success of the
American schools. We have practically
no competition in that line of education.

Religious Teaching Needed.

The most imperative need of Turkey
Mr.. Allen lis high-class theological
seminary such as YOU have in Chicago
and New York. Here are in the land
of the Bible.
Nearly all the religions of the world
originated in this section. Here the Cos
pei was first preached. Turkey is occu-
pied today with the same races that lived
here then. all of them preserving their
memorials.
II believe that a non-Sectarian theologi-
cal seminary. established here for the
purpose of teaching biblical history and
comparative theology in broad way
would appeal to every one of these races
The schools of theology that we have
today appeal only to those who intend
to enter the Protestant missionary serv-
ice.
"A seminary on a university basis, like
that at Chicago. would draw ambitious
young men from all races and denomina-
tons and would undoubtedly receive suf-
ficient patronage to become self-suppOrt-
ing with the aid of the endowments that
such an institution should command.
The weakness of the Greek and the
Armenian churches has been the alb
sence of an educated clergy. Their lack
of influence among the people. their lack
of progress and the diminishing respect
that is shown to the profession are due
TO this cause.
Such seminary would educate lead
and political as we'll as the religious life
of the country. And what this country

CONSTANTINOPLE.

CONSTANTINOPLE,
September 10, 1910.
Rev. Herbert VI. Allen, editor of pub
LEGATIONS of the American board of mis-
sions, at the Bible House, Constantinople,
says that nearly all of the 421 American
colleges and schools in Asia Minor under
the care OF that board are practically
self-supporting.
This fortunate condition of affairs is
due to the strictest economy and careful
MANAGEMENT, and to the sacrifices made
by the students and their parents rather
than to an overplus of wealth.
II must not be understood that these
schools and colleges are beyond the need
of funds. On the contrary, no educa-
tional institutions in the world need
money so mucl, or could make ii SO

PRICE Of SEALSK|N
TAKES UPWARD JUMP
Law Prohibiting Capture OF
Animals for Five Years
Causes Sharp Advance.

The woman who wants fine new
sealskin coat this winter will have to
pay about 40 per cent more than last win
ter. The sealskin market has taken a
big jump upward, largely because the
taking of seals is prohibited for five
years after May ! next. Therefore,
! high-grade coat that cost the purchaser
| 81 600 last season will be valued at 81, 400
| this season.
| Local furriers declare that the prices
are never coming down again, and that
the increasing scarcity of the high-grade
pelts only extends the trade in the
many substitute skins that are manu-
I featured for the general trade.
1T was in the SIXTIES" remarked a
! local furrier, that the taking of seals
was prohibited for ten years. But you
! can depend upon 1t there are not going
to be the accumulations now there were
| then by reason Of this exemption period,
| and it is very likely that the prices are
| I'D to stay. Pelagic sealing will be
! largely responsible, for the seals go as
| far as seventy-five miles to get food for
! their young, and when these are killed,
as they will be. in the open sea, the
young ones will die. l really do not look
for any fall in prices at all, and prob
ably they will go higher before the closed
season Is over.
Other Furs Also Higher.
"In addition to the seal. other furs are
much higher. Mink. one Of the popular
furs, has advanced % per cent, and the
skunk, or, if you please brown marten.
as the trade puts IL, has even advanced
- per cent. Both of these furs, by the
way, are very popular in Europe. Bisam
seal, which is made of muskrat, is most
likely to replace the genuine seal. The
Russian pony skins that had such a run
last season also will be largely used,
with the caracul, another favorite of the
astrakhan family. close behind.
why, the plain, old everyday muskrat.
the kind you used to throw stones at
from the country bridge when you were
for 10 and - cents each, now are selling
for 81 cents a pelt-the raw article at
that. Coonskins that the city furrier
could buy in former seasons for from
I'D to 20 cents are now high 81 for

purchased in the market for 10 and IL

with the prevailing scarcity Of skins
for the furrier trade, il is not surprising
that the pelts of many domestic animals

CAREER OF MARK
TWAIN, HUMOR|ST
Interesting Life of the Man Who
Made the World Laugh.
RIVER PILOT IN HIS YOUTH
Did His First Literary Work In Me-
vada-Sad Events That CIouded
His Later Years-A Clean
Life Record.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, Ameri
cas- foremost humorist and known the
world over as MARK Twain" was born
in the little town of Hannibal. Mo-, In
November 80, 1885.
His father, John Marshall Clemens,
came from an old Virginia family, and
with his young wife, Elizabeth Lamp
ton, descendant of the early settlers
of Kentucky, he joined the sturdy
band of pioneers who pushed over the
Alleghanies in the early part of the
last century and settled along the
banks of the Mississippi river.
In the uncouth environment Of the
then little frontier town of Hannibal
the famous author spent his boyhood
days. Here he fished, hunted and
lounged along the river banks with his
sturdy companions, living healthy
outdoor existence, which undoubtedly
accounted for his long life. In the face
of his many Affections.
He attended the little school, but
not being Of very studious disposi-
ton, he learned far more from con-
tact with the rough companions whom
he immortalized In later years as
"Huckleberry Finn" and tom Saw
YER" and others of their type.
At the age of twelve his meager
school education was brought to a
sudden close by the death of his ia
ther.
His older brother. Orion 8. Glenn
ems. was the proprietor of printing
shop in the village, and young Sam
Clemens began his journalistic career
there as printers devil" In the
course of few years he learned the
trade as a compositor, and in 1853 he
left his native town and began a wan
dering existence. He journeyed from
place to place, working at his trade In
New York and the principal cities ol
the middle west.
But while he gained vast amount
Of experience during his travels, which
proved of the greatest value In the
preparation of some of his works II
later years, this period was rather un
profitable from a financial standpoint
and he was finally compelled to return
to his home along the banks of tn,

cumstances.
