tells how he became an author: The
malignancy of publishers could not

literature was my game. 1t was not

To be minister-that she thought

she was very ambitious woman, and
sometimes she would add, half scared
at her appetite, that there were min
listers who had become professors,
but it was not canny to think of such
things.
Il had only one person on my side,
an old tailor, one of the fullest men

stitched, from the board to the hob, and
so to bed. He might have gone out had

DOUBTS SINCERITY
OF PROGRESSIVES
SENATOR RAYNER FEARS THEY
ARE MERELY FLIRTING
WITH DEMOCRATS.

washington, April 2S,--"Are the in
surgents in earnest or have they just
been flirting and coquetting with us2'
Senator Isidor Rayner of Maryland, in
mock seriousness, asked this question.
and others even more pointed, In
speech delivered in the senate yester-
dav on the administration railroad bill.
He said that the democrats wanted
no more combinations with the in
surgents on preliminary skirmishes,
but that the recaIitrant republicans
would be welcomed into the demo-
cratic ranks if they only would enlist
and take their following with them.
Pointing out that on almost all pre-
liminary moves on various measures
before the present congress, the In
surgents and the democrats have stood
together, Mr.. Rayner said that when
the final vote is taken upon the bill
itself they seem leisurely to stray
away from us"
'Now," he said, "ttaequestion Us,
what do our friends mean? Are they
in earnest, or are they simply flirt-
ing and coquetting with us? Is 1t
merely temporary engagement, or is
1t permanent love feast?
Is Beveridge Flirting?
'Ts the senior senator from Indiana,
for instance, embracing us simply for
the ecstacy and transport of the mo-
ment, or is he willing to unite with
us in the bonds of holy political we'd
lock? I woul like to know from him
what his future intentions are.

Grain Opinions.

Finley Darrell: While we continue
to advise extreme caution in increasing
short lines of wheat on sharp breaks
we still feel that all sentimental and
natural reactions should be taken ad-
vantage Of in order to make sales.
Clement, Curtis & Co. The wheat
market is under the influence of the
weather conditions which are not I'M
favorable and we still advise sales on
all advances. We do not see much
change in corn prices on present sit
uation.
Bartlett, Patten & Co: We believe
that the wheat marker has again seen
low point on this reaction and that the
character Of the crop news coming in
warrants a belief in higher prices. We
cannot advise the long side of corn
until the situation for cash corn
changes.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: While caution
should be shown in selling wheat on
weak spots, we think the big upturn
should be taken advantage of.

His subject was, Educational Ideals,

He began by contrasting the old and

the good points in each and criticising
the bad features of both.
Mr.. Knowlton quoted as the six
ideals Of education, the following: cul-
ture, knowledge, character citizenship
efficiency and discipline Then taking
each in order he enlarged on them.
Culture, he says, is that quality
which teaches men how to enjoy them
selves rightly, so that they have no
idle moments. He defined knowledge,
knowing something about everything
and everything about something"
Character" says Mr.. Knowlton, "is
mostly a matter Of self control. The
man who has himself completely
in control, has character

zen, he tells. Efficiency was discus

strong things about this topic. sit

you can do, will be the question asked
YOU" remarked Mr.. Knowlton. He
then proceeded to show this in strong,
forceful language.
After dwelling at some length on the
discipline of education he concluded
by quoting ex-President Roosevelt as
follows: 'Tn the game of life as in
the game of football, don't finch, don't
tumble don't foul, but hit the line
hard"
