The remaining nine entrants, includ-

who won the Paris-to-Madrid race, will

now on his way back to Paris. He
left Madrid last night.
The first to cross the line was Ro-
land Garros who, after making many
plucky efforts to finish in the Paris
to-Madrid flight, was forced by mis-
haps to abandon the race. Garros
drove a monoplane. He was followed
by Andre Beaumont, who rapidly over

A Sermon to the Graduates.

Rev. e. F. Hammond delivered the
baccalaureate sermon in the First Con.
gregational church Sunday evening to
the senior class of the high school in
such brief and pointed manner that
the students found it impossible to
lose one word of his talk, which was
on The Faithful Life" Mr.. Ham
mond's text was BE thou faithful unto
death and / will give thee crown of
life"
The church was crowded to its ut
most capacity with an audience com.
posed of people from almost every
churchNin the city. The members of
the senior class, accompanied by the
members of the board of education,
occupied the seats directly in front of
the pulpit.
"A faithful life, said Mr.. Hammond,
does not mean the trampling down of
those who are your business compel
itors, but it means that which helps
the poor fellow who is down. There
are many requirements included in the
faithful life, he said

taste. A public school system is only
a foundation stone. Success in life
depends entirely on how we'll those
stones have been laid. You have now
only a microscopical photograph of
what the future holds"
He then explained the many require
ments of the faithful life, which he
said included: desire; an ideal; an
ambition; courage, daring.
You students" he said, have been
used to a life of dependence. When
you have a hard problem, you take it

BLUNT ANDREW JACKSON.
'old Hickory's" caustic Advice to
James Buchanan

James Buchanan.
Stories OF Andrew Jackson are Likely
20 be pointed and to have n practical
application, as do the stories told OF
Franklin. In Mr.. j. w. Forney's IAN.
ecdotes OF Public Men" there Is given
a story as ii was told by James
Buchanan at his own table. Although
it contained a reproof from the presi.
dent to one who was to succeed him.
II is said TO have been favorite story
at that board.
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1894. to the court OF
which country he had been sent by
Jackson in 1880, and Immediately fol
lowing his election to the senate he
called upon "Old Hickory" with fair
English lady whom he desired to pre-
sent to the head OF the American ma.
ton
Leaving her In the reception room
downstairs, he assembled to the presi.
dents private quarters, where he
found General Jackson unshaved, I'M
kempt. in his dressing gown. with his
slippered feet on the fender. before a
blazing wood fire, smoking a corncob
pipe Of the old southern pattern.
He stated his object, and General
Jackson said that he would be very
glad to meet the lady whom Mr.
Buchanan desired to present
Mr.. Buchanan was always careful OF
his personal appearance and In some
respects was sort OF masculine Miss
Fribbe, addicted to spotless cravats
and huge collars, rather proud of a
foot small for a man of his large stat
ure and to the last of his life what the
ladies' would call "a very good figure"
Having just returned from a visit to
the fashionable circles of the cont.
nent after years of thorough inter
course with the etiquette Of one of the
stateliest courts in Europe, he was
somewhat shocked at the idea of the
president meeting the eminent English
lady in such a guiSe and ventured to
ask il General Jackson did not intend
to change his attire. Thereupon the
old warrior rose. with his long pipe in
his hand, and, deliberately knocking
the ashes out of the bowl, said to his
friend:
buchanan. l want to give you lit
tie piece of advice which l hope you
will remember. knew man once
who made a fortune by attending to
his own business. Tell the lady will
see her presently"
The man who became president in
1857 was fond Of saying that this re-
mark of Andrew Jackson Inundated
him more than any other rebuke he
had ever received.
He walked downstairs to meet the
lady in his charge. and in very short
time President Jackson entered the
room. dressed in full suit of black,
clearly shaved, with his stubborn
white hair forced back from his fore.
head. and advancing to the beautiful
visitor, he greeted her with almost
kingly grace.
AS she left the White House she said
to her escort. Your republican presi-
dent is the royal model of a gentle
man"

Veterans Attend Church in, Rain.

That the ranks of the old soldiers of
the local G. A. r. post are getting very
thin, was most noticeable Sunday
morning when ten out of the twenty
four members of the post, accompa-
MED by five members of the w. r. c.,
marched from their hall to the First
Methodist church, where Rev. J. w.
Kirkpatrick rendered the Memorial
Sunday sermon. 1t was reported at
the hall that Capt. Anderson of the
local guard company was out of the
city on account of the death of a rel
ative and that at the militia armory
only six soldiers could be mustered
together. The expected escort from
this armory for the old soldiers was
not forthcoming and at lis Com
mander Samuel Parks called "atten-
tion,' and with his arm tucked under
that OF blind comrade he led the
way to the church. The weather con-
ditions, say some of the old soldiers,
were the cause of the absence of their
comrades. The rain came down stead
lily and the old warriors made a pa
thetic looking party as they walked
slowly through the rain to the church
with the umbrellas up.
AT the church, however, there were
in waiting more soldiers and members
of the Relief Corps, in all there being
about twenty soldiers and about fif
teen of the w. r. c.
Rev J. w. Kirkpatrick has delivered
many Memorial Sunday services, but
the one he delivered Sunday was prob.
ably his best. His father was an old
soldier, but had passed away since
the last time Mr. Kirkpatrick deliy.

yet been graduated from the high

distinction. Ward Klopp one year ago

kins and Merle VanHousan.
In view of the excellent standing
and reputation of the individual mem
bers of this class in this community,
1t was with profound regret that it
was learned Friday that six of its
members had been arrested and
locked up in the county Jail for
about an hour during the preceding
night. The school board made an
otcial and thorough investigation.
The evidence of all concerned, in
Guiding the local police officers, was
taken. The result disclosed one of
''io' t'hAtS tonulJlOuS where
with the best of intention a serious
mistake occurs.
The evidence disclosed that there
was a total lack of criminal intent on
part of the class, who at the time of
their arrest were engaged in the per-
petration OF the time honored custom
OF placing their class pennant on the
pinnacle of the schoolhouse tower. At
the close of the investigation the mem.
bers OF the graduating class were each
and all given complete vindication
and and their course in the matter
was commended, and the placing of
their class emblem in the position 1t
occupies was approved.
This vindication was in the form of
resolution unanimously adopted by
the board, and each of the six mem
bers of the class who were the unfor-
Inmates, received with their diplomas
an original engrossed copy of this res.
olution. Thus the incident which at
one time was regarded in serious
light is now considered in the light
of joke. --..r
