You're not afraid to help him."
she said. Il know that-you just
said So"
Judge Brewster raised his fist and
brought 1t down on the desk with a
bang which raised in a cloud the &C.
cumulated dust of weeks. His face
set and determined. he said:
You're quite right! I'm going to
take your easel"
Annie felt herself giving way. 1t
was more than she could stand. For
victory to be hers when only mo-
ment before defeat seemed certain
was too much for her nerves. All she
could gasp was:
"Oh. judge!"
The lawyer adjusted his eyeglasses,
blew his nose with suspicious energy,
and took up a pen.
Now don't pretend to be surprised
you knew / would. And please don't
thank me. l hate to be thanked for
doing what / want to do. If DIDN'T
want to do it, wouldn't"
Through her tears she murmured:
I'D like to say thank you.
well. please don't" he snapped.
But she persisted Tenderly, she
said:
May / say you're the dearest, kind
est"
Judge Brewster shook his head
"No-no-nothing Of the kind"
Most gracious = noble-hearted =
courageous" she went on.
The Judge struck the table another
formidable blow.
Mrs. Jeffriesi" he exclaimed.
She turned away her head to hide
her feelings.
"Oh. how I'd like to have good
cry" she murmured. III Howard
only knew"
Judge Brewster touched an electric
button. ana his head clerk entered.

RoosteroIouv.

A good many people are asking how
to keep a rooster from growing 1t
seems that they resent being awak-
ened at the first blush of dawn by the
gay chanticleer. They open their eyes
and grab pad of paper and foun-
tain pen and write to the editor. So
many people think editors have moth
ing to do but right their wrongs.
The average person conceives of an
editor as a man who has no other
function in life than to go to a rail-
road official and threaten him with
condign punishment for smashing a
trunk on his line, or to step boldly
into public office and smite alleged
offenders. Now they are demanding
that editors go about making ROSTERS
quit Growing at the dawn.
The ordinary editor has other
things to do. For a penny day you
cannot expect high-browed intellect
ual giant to linger near a chicken
roost until the pale streaks in the sky
proclaim the coming day and then to
stand valiantly beside bun cochin or
plymouth rock bass singing rooster
and dissuade 1t from singing its matin
welcome, so to speak.
To our recollection and belief Meth.
er Horace Greeley nor Charles A.
Dana, In all the years Of their public
service, stood sentinel In a chicken
coop. They were ever ready and
anxious to right wrongs and to uplift
the downtrodden and to tighten the
loads OF the weary, but our impression
is they would have asserted that they
would be eternally dodgasted If they
believed molding public thought In
cluded muffling ROSTERS.
It is too much to ask Of a man who
has been all day or all night adjusting
the fate Of nations and aiding or dis
arranging the futures of statesmen
that he come ahead of the milkman
and say harsh things and use firm
measures with a shanghai rooster
with two-inch spurs and siren crow.
The way to keep rooster from
Growing is to secure an old oak stump.
about foot in diameter. Upon this
place the ROSTERS neck. Then apply
sharp axe at the third cervicd
vertabra.

ly, get a stenographic report of the
case of the People against Howard
Jeffries. Jr.; get the coroner's inquest,
the grand jury indictment, and get a
copy of the Jeffries confession-get
everything-right away!"
The clerk looked inquiringly, first
at Annie and then at his employer.
Then respectfully he asked:
DO we, sir?"
1--WE do" said the lawyer laconic-
ally.

rings ON MY FINGERS"
Patrick Shea was shipwrecked upon q
desert isle;
The denizens of which grew to admire
him in a while
Because his disposition was most friendly
to them all:
And soon he was the center of the coro-
nation ball.
His nostalgia soon ceased and he took
his pen in hand
And sent a joyful missive to those in his
native land:
my fingers are jeweled, and my royal
feet
Bear anklets of bells which their tinlSles
repeat.
Please come for a visit-though tits quite
way.

To a narrative concerning an heroic

The bankers wife gave a start of

CHANCES IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Resources Which Americans Have
Failed to Exploit.
From the Journal Of the American Asiatc
AssOcia tiop

From the Journal Of the American Asiatic
Association.
With one exception it may be said
that Philippine development schemes
have met with cold reception from
the financial interests of America. The
repeated failures in promoting or
financing any project for the islands
must receive the serious consideration
of the Philippine commercial COM
munity.
The islands present opportunities for
rapid and profitable development un-
equaled in the world. Rich mineral
deposits abound. the forests of valu-
able hardwoods are inexhaustible, the
sugar lands yield a high average, the
hemp monopoly is source of never
ending profit. rubber and gutta percha
thrive and give handsome returns.
Yet with few exceptions these i'm
mense natural resources after twelve
years of American rule are still worked
in the old primitive, Wasteful manner
which marked the industry of a century
ago. 1t is severe criticism and re-
Election on American energy which per-
mits such untold wealth to remain I'M
developed and is striking contrast to
American enterprise in Alaska. Hawaii,
Porto Rico or Cuba and to the methods
-.
Java is a tropical paradise and yields
immense wealth to the Dutch investors.
Borneo is forging ahead and many
large enterprises are in successful OPP
Grafton. The story of the industrial
development of the Federated Malay
States reads like a chapter from a
romance or the Arabian Nights and
rubber kings have supplemented the
old time tin millionaires.
Sumatra is famous the world over
for it's cigar wrappers. and tobacco
plantations have spread to neighboring
isles. Petroleum abounds and even
Shanghai has its quota of millionaires
! made rich over night, as it were, by
the marvellous wells. Indo-China is the
rice granary of the orient and exports
! its products to the Philippines, and
| Formosa under Japanese rule, con-
| tending with adverse climatic condi-
tions. has developed a modern sugar
! industry which shames the Philippines
| and bids fair in time to rival Java.
| Not one of these countries can COM
pare in natural gifts with the Philip
pines, yet they progress and prosper,
while the islands fail to keep pace with
the procession. 1t is time for those
who have cast their lot with the is
lands to face the problem. seriously
consider the question and try to over
come the diMculties surrounding the
| investment OF American capital in the
Philippines and divert the stream
| which flows SO freely into other terri
torial possessions.

In proportion to numbers large ma

ence over sophomores for various reasons.
| The sophomore year is the danger year
for all students, in morals as we'll as in

special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald
ITHACA, June q, 1911.
| have often heard 1t remarked that
the three most beautiful university set
tings in the United States. and probably
in the world, are those Of the Univer-
sity OF California, Cornell University
and the University Of Wisconsin, Each
has a campus of great natural beauty,
and each it's distinct individuality. At
Berkeley the campus occupies an
amphitheater in the foothills, with
the Sierras as background. The
University Of Wisconsin sits upon the
bank of lake encircled with foliage and
lawns. Cornell occupies a wooded emil
nence four or five hundred feet above
the placid waters of Cayuga lake, over
looking one of the loveliest landscapes
that the human eye ever rested upon. The
campus is bounded on either side by glens
or canyons three or four hundred feet
deep. with joyous little streams tumbling
over the precipices. In one place the
water drops 100 feet in a single fall, and
after heavy rain is a picturesque sight.
PRESIDENT Schurman estimates that ,
per cent of the educational value enjoyed
by the students at Cornell comes from the
scenery by which they are surrounded. 1t
would be interesting to learn the esti-
mates of the presidents of California and
Wisconsin universities as to the value of
their landscape as a refining influence.
There is no doubt of the benefit derived
from communion with nature, particular
ly among impressonable and youthful
minds. and a walk through the primeval
forest that forms a part of the campus
at Cornell gives as much satisfaction as
concert of rare music or the reading of

Doctrine of Compensation.

This is not surprising" continued
President Schurman. 1T is easy of ex-
PLANTATION and 1t is not SO bad as it
seems. 1t is only another illustration of
the doctrine of compensations. The attic
recluse the man who has no disposition
or inducement to seek society, has more
time TO work for his attention is not
distracted from his studies like that OF
the other class. Fraternity men have de-
lightful experiences. The greatest pleas
ures of college life are found in the COM
partnerships of kindred spirits. The fra
ternity men have delightful homes and
jovial surroundings. They have music
and literary exercises as well as games
and gossip and all of those things are
important in the development of man
hood Who would deprive a fellow-being
of the pleasure Of sitting by the fire
with congenial companions and talking
over things? But that is denied to the
man who lives alone or I'm a boarding
house, and he finds compensation in &C
quring knowledge.
