S1O,OOO,OOO GIFT
 FROM CARNEGIE.
For the FurtheranCe of Peace
 Projects tho World Over.

Andrew Carnegie within a day or two will announce gift of $1O,000,00 for the promotion of international peace. The report to that effect is confirmed in Washington. The gift will be worldwide in its scope and in the opinion of Washington officials will be one of the most important steps ever taken in furtherance of the universal peace movement. .'
 This fund will be turned over by MT. Carnegie to a board of trustees to be headed by Senator Elihu Root, who is America's representative on The Hague tribunal, and President Nicho- las Murray Butler of Columbia uni versity. There will be about twenty other distinguished trustees, some from foreign countries.
 The income of this $10,OOO,000, which will amount to at least $500,000 year, under the terms of the gift will be de- voted to the furtherance of peace proj- ects the world over. The $10,0OO,O00 gift will not represent an effort on MT. Carnegie's part to establish new peace movement so much as 1t will a desire to maintain the organizations already in the field and to provide for their future wellbeing and usefulness under the direction of a high class board of trustees.

In West Virginia the stars are beamlng
Upon our dear Uncle's grave.

Our dear Uncle we could not save.
The last farewell was spoken
A few days before to-day,
And the family circle broken
When our dear Uncle passed away.

AS we stood with aching hearts,
Seeing the one we loved so dearly
Pierced by deaths most cruel darts.
o, Uncle, dear, we loved you so =
How sad it was to part
One dear thought of your sweet face
Will cause the tears to start
1t was bright summer day
That we laid his body to rest
. In the cold and clammy clay,
And o, may his soul be blest
He sleeps within the cold. cold clay,
The dark-blue skies above HIM;
His heart was noble. true and brave
None knew him but to love him."
Friends may think we'll soon forget
And our wounded hearts be healed
But they little know of the sorrow
That is in our hearts concealed. =
AS long as memory lasts | will remember
him. His Niece,

The Fort Benton base ball team continues
its winning streak. With Oder pitching
shut-out ball at Great Falls the Ramblers
were never in the running, and Fort Benton
was returned an easy victor by the score of
| 10 to /. So good was Oder's control that he
| gave but one base on balls and allowed one
| hit, of the scratch variety.
! The locals made flying start scoring two
| runs in the LIST inning, enough to win the
game. In the 4th Fort Benton scored three
| tunes and repeated it in the 9th by sending
| across three more. Then in the Sth, to show
| that there was no hard feeling, Oder opened
| with two-base hit and Peterman met one
| of Laughlin's fast shoots for drive which
speedy base running turned INTO home
| run. netting two more.
Miller, as usual caught splendid game
| and made two hits, one of them being a
| long drive for three sacks. The HANDLERS

Nevertheless, the Frostburg team has

Another stipulation is-an umpire

For each of the gentlemen it is said
that he takes prjde IN honest work; that

ORIGINAL POETRY.
The Trained Nurse.

The Trained Nurse.
Dedicated to Miss ANNA GIBSON, of Gilmore,
Maryland
Her coming to our home made it more
A home where deep aifIiction held its
Yet when this graceful girl in simple white
Came in all fear and care were swept
away.
She oathd my fever'd form and burning
Her touch, like magic, brought a sense of
peace;
Her instinct and her training taught her
how
To bring to pain-rack' d bodies sweet
release.
All through the day she watch d DER me
with care,
And in the silent watches of the night
And from her heart breath'd many prayer
TO keep me safe until the morning light.
No callers in the room would she allow;
Yet never rude nor unkind did she seem !;
Each to her superior will did bow,
And in the sick room her word ruld
supreme.
Such sympathy and kindness did she show
When WEAKNESS and fever made me
weak,
And when deep pain and sutr ring laid me
low
In gentlest tones her voice to me did
speak.
All honor to the whitecapp'd sisterhood,
Who give their youth, their talent and
their time
TO spend their lives in doing others good
And doing this, attain to heights sublime.
