King Edward, then Prince Of Wales
After the performance conducted the

came to the white elephant stall his
royal highness suddenly turned to me
and said, Sanger, is this really one Of
the sacred white elephantsY
ITO this replied: Well, your royal
highness. a Snowman is entitled to

my future king. 1t is certainly a

The Way Two Englishmen Captureo
Four Hundred Prisoners.
Toward the close Of the peninsular
war 400 prisoners were captured by
John Colborne. afterward Field Mar
shal Lord Seaton Colborne, who was
wounded at Talavera, had been dis
abled for some time, but In 1913 he
was in active service again, and when
Wellington's army crossed the frontier
into France he performed what was in
deed the most amazing feat of his ca
reer.
When riding, with no comrade but
the famous Sir Henry Smith, separated
from his column, he saw 400 French
soldiers passing along a ravine below
him. ''The only way was to put a good
face on the matter" he wrote. $50

Sir Henry Smith used to declare that
he had never seen such cool presence
of mind as Colborne displayed on this
occasion.-London Spectator.

dinner time he brought forth and

RELIGIOUS T0lERATI0N IN
MARYLAND
interesting Historical Review by Prof
Robertson.

Maryland, in the development of
American social ideas, has always
been associated with religious toler-
alton. The colony was established by
Catholic noblemen, as has generally
been asserted as a refuge for their
prosecuted coreligionists. In our
thought Catholicism has not COM
monty stood for religious federation,
especially in the earlier days of her
conflict with Professionalism. The
query then naturally arises. Why
should Maryland play the role OF lead
er In the furtherance of that noble
idea, so far In advance of the time?
And is the credit for 1t due to the
Catholic system as such?
In seeking TO answer this question
1t will be necessary to depart from
the usual Interpretation OF the early
history Of Maryland and TO adopt an
entirely different point OF view. In
this inquiry II is assumed that we

Opinion Of Court Given by Judge
VIM.

Berea College which has done 30
much to introduce advanced ideas IN
practices In normal and Industrial
lines throughout the south has just
achieved a great victory in behalf of
Industrial education. The attempt
was made to tax certain properties
OF the institution in defiance of Sec
ton 40 of the Constitution of the
Commonwealth and the case carried
quite persistently before the Court
of Appeals. The Opinion Of the Court
given by Judge VIM is interesting
and instructive reading, and really
constitutes very unusual endorse
ment of the work of this institution.
"Berea College is an Incorporated
educational institution. As shown by
testimony its object is to promote
the cause OF Christ" by furnishing
a proper Christian education to young
people OF good moral character at
the least possible expense. One OF
the methods adopted to this end
is to furnish pupils in the school all

OPPOSITION TO POWERS

trict is likely to meet serious op-
position from another source the
Roosevelt party. Attorney ]. G. Bird
Of Williamsburg has announced HIM
self as a receptive candidate, pro-
claiming that he will not straddle but
will run simply and only as Rooss-
welt candidate.
State Representative Asher of Bell
County is also in a receptive mood,
and If matters begin to look favor
able for the Colonel's following, Of
course there will be others-enough
possibly to create quite a wrangle
and split.
