In little less than a fortnight,
thousands of young men and
women all over this great and
glorious republic will stand up
before waiting and admiring
multitudes, tell us how to solve
momentous questions of govern
ment, religion and sociology and
what not, and then proudly
grasp their coveted sheepskins.
But it won't do any harm. Fact
is, these young people are great
ly benefited by their course in
the schools, and if they go out
into active life a trifle optimistic,
they will be the better able to
buffet the waves of opposition
and disappointment they are
sure to meet. All honor, then,
to the public schools, the grad
yates, and the teachers and the
schools and the Boards of Edu-
cation who made them what they
are, and to the people who glad
ly pay the taxes for the support
Of these institutions. The cOun-
try couldn't get along without
it's schools.

The orang. .outans's Nest.

For the first time Londoners have
now an opportunity of seeing an
orang-outang in it's nest" or sleep
ing platform, DR.. Charles Hose having
recently presented to the national mu-
scum fine adult male of this Rornean
ape, together with specimen of the
nest
DR.. A. Russell Wallace in his Malay
Archipelago states that orang-ou-
tangs build their sleeping platforms
comparatively low down on relatively
small trees at height of from twenty
feet to so feet above the ground. prob
ably for the reason that such situa-
ton is warmer and less exposed to
wind than one higher up According
to Dyak report, each orang builds a
fresh platform every night. but this,
as DR. Wallace remarks. is improb-
able on account of the relatively small
number of these structures to be met
with. 1t may be added that the large
amount of materials in the nest in the
British Museum affords further evil
dence of the same kind Photographs
are extant showing three or four
orangs' nests in single uee.-The,

An Idol "Not to Be Fooled Vita"

A very remarkable idol was brought
from Central Africa by missionary
In it's stomach is set disk-shapel mir
ror and inside of this is a bunch of
herbs of mystical potency
The god is supposed by the natives
to be very powerful one To offend
it would be extremely dangerous Con-
sequently it is kept at the Smithsoni
an institution, to which the missionary
presented it, in glass case. where
nobody can offer it any indignity.
Attached to various parts of it's
body are spears and darts, by the aid
of which the god is supposed to inflict
injury upon persons who deserve to
get hurt. The Smithsonian scientists
say it would be imprudent to handle
any of these spiky things too freely,
because, for all anybody knows to the
contrary, they may be poisoned

Made Oliver Herford Famous.

Oliver Herford first sprang into fame
as wit SO long ago as when Mrs.
Jarres Brown-Potter, whose husband
was a near relative of the late Bishop
Potter. created a sensation by relin-
uui-hing home and family to go upon
the stage. While the sensation was at
it's height the bishop, who felt that
disgrace had been brought upon the
Potter name by the lady's choice of a
career, CHANGED at a dinner at the
Players club in New York to challenge
anyone present to make joke about
him that was not a pun based on the
verb ito potter Herford's response.
Actresses will happen in the best reg
ulated families" won him the laurel
wreath of the club and it has not yet
gone out of his possession.-Frank NJ.

The "STRING FIEND'

In newspaper parlance a
string fend" is a person who
sells matter to newspapers for
publication. The longer tn e
"fiend's S" string, the bigger the
size of his check. Hence the
temptation to yarn it,, a temp
tation tn at the professional
string fiend" is rarely unable to
resist, and in most cases he ap-
parently makes no effort to resist.
A case in point is the lurid story,
appearing in the ST. Paul Pho
neer Press Monday morning,
May 16, about a forest fire near
Bemidjf. Over a column on the
first page was consumed by a
wierd tale in which the populace
was represented as gathering in
the churches to pray, for rain,
while the smoke poured into the
sanctuaries so thick and fast
that the prayers stuck in the
throats of the supplicants. The
militia was to be called out, the
town was threatened, farm house
after farm house was destroyed
and so fierce was the fire that
even Lake Bemidji seemed in
danger of burning up. The Be-
midi Pioneer, which has never
been accused of beIittling a SEN
sational news item, printed the
facts, which were that forest
fire that had been smoldering
some time, broke out and for a
time threatened serious damage,
but it was promptly subdued and
the resultant loss did not exceed
81 900. Bemidji has the sincere
sympathy of Sauk Centre, which
has suffered for some time now
from the antics of one of the
most unreliable string fiends'
ever discovered.

New York. March s1.-Regarding re-

a number OF Commander Peary's lecture
engagements had been Cancelled, owing
to lack of success. Robert Erskineely, of
the Civic Forum, said to-day:
I'VE made a business arrangement for
a tour in the South, and dates were
made for Knoxville. Chattanooga, At
lanta, Nashville. and the two cities
where dates were Cancelled.
Gov. Brown refused to introduce the
explorer at Atlanta, with his unoaIled-
for and unjust criticisms OF Peary. New
ertheless, Peary went TO Atlanta and de-
livered his lecture. No diseourtesy what
ever was shown him there, although the
feeling expressed by Gov. Brown was re-
fected by the size of the audience, which
was small. The audiences were also
small at Knoxville. Charleston, and
Nashville. AS we believe this resulted
from the feeling aroused by Gov Browns
remarks, his further dates In the South
should be cancelled and no more dates
made"

MOOrman, of Knox.

South Bend, Ind. March S.-John
Moorman, Of Knox, was this afternoon
nominated for Congress by the Republi-
cans Of the Thirteenth district.
The resolutions adopted by the conven-
ton are particularly interesting In regard
to the tariff question, because the onlv
part Of the tariff law mentioned and in
dorsed is the provision for a tariff board.
and this is only incidental to praise Of
President Taft for interpreting this pro-
vision in such a way as TO give it vital
ity and usefulness"
Sentiment for tariff revision is so strong
that Endorsement Of the Payne-Aldrich
law was out of the question.
Senator Beveridge was indorsed.
