TO COLLEGE WITH 500 ONLY.
Student Pays for But One Meal While
Getting His Degrees.

81 came to Yale from Kentucky
town of about 1000 inhabitants sit
uated more than 1000 miles from
YALE" says writer in Munsey's Mag
azine. ''I reached New Haven three
months before the time when 1 ex-
pected to enter college with less than
$40 in my pocket or to my credit.
MY acquaintance in all New England
consisted of just two upper classmen
in college and their financial rating
was but little better than my own.
"I worked my way through Yale
with the aid of infinitesimal sums
from outside. I maintained a cred
table stand in my studies. I did
as much general reading as most un-
dergraduates; I took part in the
college social life. I was not a
genius, a prodigy, or mental aero
plane.
s.Arriving in New Haven on a mild
spring evening, I searched out the
humble dog wagon, caterer to impe-
cunious students and here on ham
and hot dog I made my first supper,
the only meal I paid for in money
during my entire career at college.
The next day 1 was taken by my
friend, the Yale junior, to a little
brown house on College street.
Here short, ruddy-faced woman,
between plaintive snatches of Meth
odist hymns, violent cries to her
cook, affectionate caresses of Scotch
collie and vftuperative seedlings OF
an unoffending stoop-shouldered hus-
band, inquired who I was, where
came from and whether I had ever
waited on table. Learning that l had
hopes of becoming a freshman and
came from the romantic South, she
engaged me at once.
These little freshmen are bet
ter 'en any, she told the cook. They
usually try, and if this ones from
the South he may be good manner
ed. All right, sir she cried to me,
come on an get started!' Then to
her husband: why the thunder
don't you get out of here and to
work? It's half past 8! Keep them
steaks on the fire, Mary, but don't
scorch them!' Then bursting into song
Nearer, my God to Thee'-she
puffed into the dining-room, setting
the table to rights, and nearing her
divinity and the beginning of break
fast at one and the same time.
"And so became a student waiter
That morning eliminated from my ex-
pense account the item Of board
an item which did not again appear
until I was a bachelor Of arts and
ready to begin a more equal comhet
with expense accounts in general"

Redskins Scheme for Getting Rain

Wetumka, Okla, July 13.-Creek
Indians in this vicinity are resorting
to ancient tribal customs in an at
tempt to obtain rainfall. One OF
their customs, which has been widely
followed in the last week, Is to stake
mud turtles on the edge Of a stream
just far enough away from the water
so that it can not reach it.
It is the Indians belief that the
turtle despairing of their attempts to
reach the water, invoke the aid OF
the "Great Spirit to send rain SO
that the stream will be raised and
brought to them.
Since the turtles were first staked
out several rains have fallen. The
Indians believe their prayers are be-
ing answered, and they are fasten-
ing up more turtles to pray for a
still greater rainfall.

Miss Bowman Likely to Recover.

Asheville, N. c., July 13.-No in
ternal injuries having developed ply
sicians expect the early recovery OF
Miss Mabel Bowman who was in the
automobile wreck this morning when
her sister, Miss Lemie Bowman, and
B. W. Belts, of Trenton, were crush
ed to death when the big touring
car driven by Mr.. Belts pitched
down steep bank and threw out

Sharfson, of Allendale, and Miss
Jeanette Henry, of Sumter, three
miles this side of Hendersonville.
Mr.. Belts body was sent this morn
ing to Trenton for interment and that

ing to Columbia.
Those of the party of seven who
escaped uninjured can give no clear
account of how the automobile left
the road except that it was at a
sharp turn and the car was going at
high speed. The party had attended
a dance at Osceola Lake and tempt
ed by the beautiful night made run
towards Asheville.
After the accident they were help
less until people passing on the road
heard their cries and lifted the car
from the crushed forms of Mr.. Belts
and Miss Lemie Bowman, who were
in the front seat with Miss Mabel
Bowman.

Nelson is for Kansas City, but he is
not provincial. During the Spanish
American war his was the first paper
to publish the fact that the Beef Trust
was furnishing bad or "embalmed"
beef to the American army. Most Of
this beef was sent out of Kansas
City. That did not deter Nelson. The
Armours threatened to pack up their
yards and move to Omaha. Had they
done so Kansas City would have been
a deserted village.

KANSAS CITY, May 20.--The big
gest man, the moving spirit, the man
who made the town, as Kansas Cityans
have it, is William r. Nelson, owner
and editor OF the Kansas City Times

Thirty years ago Mr.. Nelson cane

four-page paper, The Star BY de-
grees he acquired strength. Ten years
ago The Sta. absorbed The Times, the
democratic paper. Colonel Nelson now
edits and Issues both from what is
the most magnificent newspaper office
In the world, the Star building, which
affords three acres of floor space at
Grand and Niece, Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets, and takes UP an
entire city block.
The Star Office would readily house
the Offices of all the big papers in
Chicago and st. Louis, combined. It's
equipment is the most modern of any
newspaper Office in the world. On one
side of the great building is vast
garage for its auto trucks and delivery
wagons. Colonel Nelson owns and pro
poses to make park of the three city
blocks adjoining The Star building.
The Star building is bit out OF
town just now, but it lies between the
business district and the new Union
Station, for which grading is being
done and Colonel Nelson expects the
town to grow up to him His men
say that he will make it come to
