tween the eastern and western bor-
ders of the State. through ten coun-
ties, bordering the homes of 500, 900
people and $1,000, 100000 in prop
erty, with a thriving city at each end
this should become the great high
way of America. Indeed, it may be
expected that more people will pass
o, er this road than over any railroad
in Missouri
Good roads cost money. but they
pay for themselves. They convert
swamps into homesteads; barren
lands into fruitful fields. They
mean additional comforts for the
farmer and cheaper products for the
consumer. They bring the country
t. the town, and the town to the
country. They promote health and
happiness, binding the people to-
eether in industry, intelligence and
patriotism. They are avenues Of
trade, highways of commerce, mail
routes of information.
There has been proposed a Lincoln
Memorial Arch at Washington. The
greatest memorial the world has ever
known is the Appian Way. built 300
years before Christ. The glory of
Rome has departed, her arches are in
ruins, but, after twenty-five centuries,
that road is still bearing the burdens
of commerce and the name of it's
founder.
Let the Lincoln memorial be a
great highway connecting the capital
o. every state with the capital of
each adjoining state-a great White
Way from Maine to California, from
the Lakes to the Gulf; of which the
Old Trail Route of Missouri shall
he the beginning.

George Wentworth, the author of

ancient languages, are the two teach
ers that | best remember" said Prof.
J. A. Gibson. Both were professors
a: Phillips Exeter Academy, New
Hampshire, forty years. l don't know
exactly what it was that made Cilley
so we'll liked by the boys. He was
known as the Grand Old Man of Ex-
eter.' He was rough, almost rude.
His humOr was coarse, yet he was
kind. He was interested in all stu
dent activities. He rarely attended
a faculty meeting. The only one
that l ever knew him to attend was
to help out my class when it got into
trouble with the faculty in my SEN
ior year. Perhaps this deep interest
i'm students made him so popular

full tribute in my life. While l was
in school Cilley died. We celebrated
our football victories by parading the
streets and visiting the homes of
faculty members and asking them to
give talks. The first victory otter Gil
ley's death was celebrated in the usu-
a! way. The band headed the pa
rade and the victorious team was
drawn in a barge. When the street
on which Cilley lived was reached
the noise ceased. Almost absolute
silence reigned. Upon reaching his
house the boys took off their caps
and for five minutes stood silently
before the former home of the
Grand Old Man of Exeter 1t was
the most impressive thing l ever saw.
George Wentworth was a COL
league of Cilley. The two spent
their active lives at Exeter. Went

Teachers Who Inspired

The broad scholarship of S. w.
Williston. professor of paleOntology
in the University of Chicago, is what
appealed most to Prof. Edwin b.
Rranson. Besides being an author
ity on vertebrate paleOntolOgy, anat-
Omy and flies. Professor Williston is
familiar with a half dozen languages,
and in his home may be seen books
in all the principal European
tongues.
''One day Williston was walking
across the campus" said Professor
Branson." and an old Italian woman
accosted him with some wares she
had for sale. She spoke to him jOk-
ingly in her native tongue. | was
greatly surprised to hear the old
pl ofessor answer her with seeming
fluency in her own language"
Another impressive part of Pro-
fessor Williston's makeup is his pro-
ductive scholarship. He has written
twelve volumes on flies, and more
than two hundred pamphlets AMI
books on different phases of paieCn-
tOlOgy.
Professor Williston. too, did pio-
neer work in Western Kansas in col
lecting fossils. He and a cumpan-
ion were sent out there in 1872 by
Prof. o. c. Marsh of Yale. They took
a team and spent the summer dOdg-
ing Indians and collecting fossils.
Williston is a graduate of Kan
sas University, and IVES chosen be-
cause of his familiarit- with the
country. 1t was prob ih'y this trip
that first turned his attention to ,,al-
eontology. 1t was years. though, be-
fore he did active work as teacher
of the subject. In the meantime he
taught anatomy at Yale. and stud-
led flies From Yale he went to Kan
sas University, where he frs. taught
paleontology. From Kansas he went
to Chicago, wnere separate depart
ment was organized for him .'ecause
he would not work under another
man.
Professor WillistOn is interesting
in the class room. His great fund of
knowledge enables him to establish
relations which would pass most men
unnoticed. He is a great worker. and
now at SO he is at the most active
period of his life.
Professor BransOn took work un-
der him at both Kansas and Chicago.
He has also collected fossils under
his direction.

mystery surrounds an alleged theft,
and like the stage story, the loot was
returned. But while the loot in the
stage story is a diamond necklace.
worth many thousands, the loot Of the
real Raffles was merely a ladies'
purse, containing five cents. The
small value attached is really the rea-
son for it's return, while "Raffles" In
the story was impelled by higher mo-
