Rather is cultme, tolerance and human

They are cultivated less by literature
than by sympathetic association with hui
manity. not at all by the study of any
language. Pure science includes more
than the classical course. and retards
culture when it is studied in place of
something useful. 1t has nothing to do
with liberation. America has produced

why some with genius have fallen short

of the men who voted the damnation of
infants to be a part of the Divine salts
faction. Its study, as is the study of all
dead things which exclude a contempla-
tion and knowledge of present needs by
taking the time that should be devoted
to them, is narrowing, and substitutes a
fashionable accomplishment for a spirit
born of God and devoted to man. 1t is
by the casting aside of the study, in years
OF vital value, of the things which were,
and the assuming of a study of the
things that are, that we are to make this
nation great. Our present educators and
board of control are the Scrbes of the
educational world, making much of the
tomhs of the Greeks and little of the
homes of the people. Blinded by the
light OF an age gone by, they fail to see
the promise of sunrise in the age at
hand. 1t is not by imitation, acquire
ment of ancient things, but by the devel-
opment of our own powers, through man
ual training and practical education, that
we are to become a nation famous
throsgh centuries for the riches of the
spirit, the appreciation of beauty and the
uniform prosperity which is the first es-
sential of the Kingdom of Col in any

John NJ. Taylor, $50 East 6Oth street.
According to Attorney Hobart Young,
the suit is for the alleged alienation

by Taylor.

Comedian, has broken up the home OF
Fitzsimmons and has alienated the af-
fections of Fitzsimmons' wife, said At

Several days ago Ftzsimmons is al

result that the comedian, who is also

court against Fitzsimmons, charging
assault and defamation of character.

than it was fifteen years ago when

diversions to take the money from
the wage Garner that when it comes

ALL WINTER ABOARD A WRECK

In winter salvage the Newfound-
landers do not seem to reflect upon
the length of hardship and peril to
which they must go. This is charac-
teristic of their lives in every re-
spect; it is proverb with them that
they go when they eau, and leave
getting back Ito good luck and good
conduct" Not long ago an American
fishing schooner, abandoned by her
crew in the Strait of Belle Isle in
early winter as hopelessly lost, was
carried off in the ice foe. 1t was the
slimmest chance in the world that
the derelict would ever be seen again.
There was not the slightest eXpecta-
ton, indeed, that she would be; the
underwriters paid the insurance set
tlement without complaint or ques-
lost. But the schooner was not lost.
She was sighted in her wanderings
by two fishermen. They boarded from
shore found her hard and fast in the
ice, but still tight and worthy, a craft
to their taste, a valuable property to
which they must cling, no matter
what came of it. 1t cost them dear;
the ice would not loosen it's grip IN
the schooner-nor would the fisher
men. They might from time to time
have escaped ashore; it would have
been the part of wisdom, perhaps, and
certainly the part of caution, to do
so; but rather than abandon their
salvage these two cheerfully reckless
fellows stuck to the ship for the rest
of that bitter winter. When naviga-
tion opened in the spring of the year,
the first mail schooner sighted the
craft, still fast in the ice and manned
by two gaunt skeletons. They had
subsisted through the winer on one
barrel of flour and some frozen her
ring. Having accomplished this, it
was child's play for them to take
their prize to port when the foe re-
leased her.-George Harding.

IN HONOLULU

Stockton, Cal, Independent, March
19.-Joe Friedberger of Lodi who is
touring the world with the Cleveland
party has written the Independent
reviewing in a brief way some of his
interesting experiences in Honolulu
and Japan. Joe writes as follows.
Il had a fine time in Honolulu and
enjoyed every minute of my stay
there. Autoing, surf bathing and Cit
noe racing kept me engaged when !
was not lolling on the veranda Of Tie
hotel The surf is best enjoyed out
at Waikiki. Here is a beach all OF
a couple of miles in length that is
the center of attraction nearly every
day in the year where not dozens
but hundreds of people go out III the
surf swimming or for the purpose
of riding the breakers in surf bod[s,
canoe-like in shape with balance rods
attached. It's great fun and with
little practice one gets quite skilled
in handling them. A novice, how
ever, spills out very frequently. hut
this only adds to the fun. The break.
ers at this beach are always of the
long rolling kind, due to the shore
formation and a long point at Dia.
