Admonition.

The widower had just taken his
fourth wife and was showing her
around the village. Among the places
visited was the churchyard, and the
bride paused before a very elaborate
tombstone that had been erected by
the bridegroom. Being a little near
sighted. she asked him to read the in
scriptions, and in reverent tones he
read:
Here lie Susan. beloved wife Of
John Smith, and Jane, beloved wife of
John Smith. and Mary. beloved wife
of John Smith,
He paused abruptly, and the bride,
leaning forward to see the bottom line,
read. to her horror:

WIDE WORK FOR COLLEGE
The University of Colorado is estab-
fishing correspondence courses that
can be taken by any ambitious young
man or woman anywhere in the state
and will lead to degrees that will be
just as good as those conferred on the
resident students. In addition it's cor
respondence courses can be taken by
any person for the benefit to be deriv-
ed, even though they have no desire to
qualify for degree.
The application of the idea is under the
direction Of Lorin d. Osborn, formerly
president Of the Dies Moines college
He believes that Colorado should take
cognizance Of the wide demands for
correspondence education Mr.. Osborn
has already applied his ideas in Iowa.
Fifteen departments Of the univer-
sity will give such courses, covering
the studies Of Latin, German, English.
physics. zoology, philosophy. sociology.
education, history, music, engineering.
mathematics and psychology Study
centers will be organized at various
places that are easily reached by stu

travel about, giving lectures and hold
Ing examinations. The study centers
Will also be social centers, ut which
the students can get some Of the uni
versity atmosphere and spirit

Information bureau for the benefit Of
all the people of the state, To 1t can
be submitted all sorts OF questions, le-
gal, commercial. literary, scientific and
sociological, and they will be answered

couragement will be given to debating

Appropriations for Public Buildings
Outside of Third District Secured
by Governor BurIeigh Since 1897.


In other words, the appropriations
secured by Governor Burleigh during
his fourteen years service on the Pub
lie Buildings Committee, for places
outside of his own District, amounts
to nearly one-half the total amount
appropriated for those three Districts
during the preceding II years.
PittsfieId and Fairfield Buildings.
During the 61st Congress (Which
commenced Dec. 5, 191O) he intro
duced bills carrying appropriations
for public buildings in Pittsfield and
Fairfield. Had he been returned to
the House there is little doubt that
he would have been able to secure
substantial appropriations for both
these places.
Lighthouse and Fog Signal.
In the 59th Congress Mr.. Burleigh
secured an appropriation of $14,400.00
for lighthouse and fog signal at
Isle au Haut.
Securing U. S. Arsenal Property.
Another matter in which it is gem
orally conceded that Mr.. Burleigh
performed a signal service for his
State was the securing of the United
States Arsenal property at Augusta
for the State of Maine. When Mr..
Burleigh received a favorable report
on the project from the War Depart
ment the committee had adjourned
for the session and it was said that it
was an impossibility for any action
to be secured. However Mr.. Bur-
leigh got them together and secured
a unanimous report in favor of the
Superintendent of the Maine Insane
Hospital has said that the property
is worth $5OO,OOOOO to the State.

Appropriations Secured by Governor
Burieish for Other Sections Of
Maine.

In addition to these appropriations
for his own District, Mr.. Burleigh, as a
member of the Committee on Public
Buildings, to which all these matters
were referred, and as a conferee on the
part of the House, has had personal
charge of the securing of appfopria-
lions for other sections of the State.
The record of public building appro-
priations for this State is as follows:

The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1912-05-16

Through the recommendation of
Governor Burleigh, who has always
been in sympathetic touch with the
farmers of the State and their inter-
ests, the secretary of the Board of
Agriculture was given a merited in
crease of salary and assigned perma-
nent quarters at the State House, thus
making his department convenient and
available to the public, and enabling
him to devote his whole time TO the
exacting and important duties of his
office.

members OF the Congressional Public
Building Commission which inveatigat-
ed and reported 70 GonSsess.wo.. tae
matter of public parks in the District
of Columbia. Thus Governor Burleigh
was not only thoroughly familiar with
the subject of Public Buildings, but
was in position where he could and
did effectively insist upon the rights of
his own constituents amid all the i'm
mense pressure and conflicting inter-
ests of the Representatives OF the forty
FIVE states of the union.
What He Secured for His District.
During his term of service Governor
Burleigh secured for his District larger
appropriations than have ever come to
it in any similar period of its history.
In that period of fourteen years the
following appropriations have been Sc
cured for the Kennebec River and for
the Third Maine District:

Summary as to Third District.

In the period of II years from the or
ganization of the State up to 1897, the
year that Mr. Bur1eigh entered Con-
gress, the total national appropriations
which had beef secured for public
buildings in the Third Congressional
District was S272,225.16. Since 1897
the appropriations for public buildings
in the Third District have amounted to
$576 10000.
In other words, in the fourteen
years Governor Burleish has been in
Congress he has secured for the Third
District appropriations for public
buildings exceeding by $5os,774.s4 the
total that had been secured for the
District by all Of his predecessors in
the previous II years Of the States
history.
