There is much local interest in the progress on the fund for the new wom- ans college for New London, inasmuch as several former residents of this city are among the givers. and the locating of the institution within thirteen miles of this city will mean, after a time, a benefit to this city, and certainly to this end of the state.

Rev. H. E. Warren Prsaches at First
 | Congregational Church on Sunday

!
 Rev. H. K Warren of Yankton coll lege. South Dakota, spoke at the First Congregational church Sunday morn ing. He took for his subject Chris tian Education. Christ balanced the world against the power of the hu- man spirit. Great teachers have walk ed and talked in the great universt- ties of the past. He spoke at length of the large value of the Christian institutions of the past and of the lives by hundreds going from these institutions to make both the old and new worlds better by their achieve ments and great influence Universi- ties grew from small beginnings and often little sums of money were given out of deep poverty.
 Many interesting facts were given about the early days of Yale and Har- yard colleges. In the early years at Oberlin, students rooming in barracks and paying 75 cents a week for board, eager for study, were bound for a large place in making states further west. The young men in our college at Yankton, the speaker said, are sen sitive to things in their own time that are not right. At the time of the civil war many young men went from Yankton college to the front. In stead of the eastern the western coI- leges are sending the larger number of men into the ministry.
 The campus of Yankton college with it's solid buildings, was described. the gifts of Dr. Pearsons and Carnegie. There were fourteen graduates last year, part of them foreigners. These graduates go to distinctive and large service in the states. Among the many names mentioned of those who have gone out from Yankton was President M. J. Fenega of Northland college who is well known in Nor Wich Town.

SHE BENT THE BUILDING.


Mr.. and Mrs. Aschenbrenner were
touring Europe and had just arrived
at Pisa. Mrs. Aschenbrenner was all
excited upon reaching the leaning
tower of Pisa, and eagerly battered
up the spiral stairway, leaving her
husband languidly awaiting her re-
turn.
!. As she weighed a shade over the
200 mark, her husband always dug
up an excuse when it came to ac-
companying her on any attitudes
above easy falling distance.
He was just bordering on the
beautiful flow of the unintelligible
language used by their guide when
from the topmost rampant came the
"Hi-lee, Hi-lo" trill of his wife, who
was leaning far out and waving a
scarf.
Mr.. Aschenbrenner obligingly
looked up and then came to life with
an anguished roar:
Gretchen, for your life get back.
You're bendin' the building Har-
per's Magazine.

stop.
The you agster came up brcathless-

how heavily my burdens pressed

to urge him on, and so he's going to
win"
His eyes shifted under her steady
gaze. "Oh, well, Pm not saint"
ssNeither is Colin" she told him,
'sbut he is as true as steel. He could
not be happy away from me for six
long months, and send only brief
messages. Oh, Pm not blaming you,

he helped her with her wrap, s'that
we were in a secluded part of the

think we were rehearsing for play.
I didn't think you would indulge in

''Do you call it that?" she laughed
