Ohio men always talk of the old home
whenever they chance to meet, we
spent most of our time digging up
things about fellows we used to know,
and relating personal experiences. My
friend mentioned having met Paul
Waters in Hongkong. He had been
in college with him. Wters, he said,
came from down near Amsterdam, in
the Mohawk Valley, where his people
were farmers. My friend had spent
one vacation with him, and knew the
family history, including the shock
ing death of the little brother. Paul
had pointed out the place and had
given vivid description of the incl
dent.
"Paups mother was an invalid at
the time my friend visited them, and
was tremendously disturbed at Paul's
indifference to her suffering and her
wishes. She had wanted him to pro-
mise to return home after he was
through at college; but he never
would commit himself. He had a
streak of sporting blood in him, and
even before he was through the uni
versity had become involved in several
scandals, in connection with which
there were hints at the use of crooked
cards. Afterward he heard that Paul
had got into trouble and had gone to
the Orient.

Of Thomas Moran, who, now seventy
six years old, has more than any otner

Great West. Following is an extract:
"Thomas Moran was born in BOZ

and this mixture of English strudiness
and IRISH wit has stood him in good
stead. not only during his early years
Of struggles, but in his later years has
helped him to encounter and over

ITO spend an evening with Thomas
Moran IS something not easily to De

he is ever ready to enter the arena
and with his vast fund Of information.
his positive opinions, and his <huency
of expression, enlivens the converse

doubt as to his views on any subject
under discussion.
"Moran's knowledge of the forms

Of his fellow craftsmen; and the

The efforts of Professor e. A..

for the establishment of state geo.

siderable approval. Progressive farm
ers are supporting the proposed survey
because it would prepare solid maps
and make water supply Investigations
Mining men are heartily in favor OF it
because of its obvious benefits to the
mining industry of the state.
Geological surveys have proved
their worth in other states. Professor
Stewart recently received letter

I am very proud. Not only have we
had a geological survey made, but a

measurements have made. We have
found these reports to be of much
benefit to our people and they are
greatly needed. / am sure that should
a survey of this character be made in
