Young Mem.

WHILE at Mercer University, I was
w elected Librarian of the Phi Delta
Society. Much Of my spare time was spent
among the books.
Many night read until sun-up the next
morning.
One day I got hold of biography of
George W. Crafts, of South Carolina.
The writer was unusually honest, and he
evidently told true story.
1t was that of brilliant young man, of
fine family, whose mind was so quick that
he could learn his lessons without hard
study, and whose natural fuency was SO great
that he could make good speeches without
preparation.
It so happened that we had at Mercer just
such a wonder.
He easily mastered his lessons; he could
make brilliant speech off-hand, and his
witty sayings circulated among all the boys.
Honestly, 1 thought that this young man,
when he should leave college, would take the

years his little stock of knowledge, acquired

Der what an impression it made on me, when
the blographer told of how the young man
had been invited to deliver the Commence
ment address at his Alma Mater in New Eng
land-Harvard, as [ remember.
The writer described the large audience of
cultured people who confidently expected a
splendid address.
But as Crafts went farther and farther in
his speech, keen disappointment fell upon
his hearers, and when he had concluded
everybody considered the address failure.
Many jewel had fallen from the orators
lips, but there was no great chain of con-
nected reasoning-no sustained elevation of
thought.
Somehow, | never lost the interest excited
by this blography-a book which never could
have had many readers, and which has long
since been forgotten.
In looking over the collected writings of
Hugh Legare, "the forgotten scholar Of nv
''Prose Miscellanies, | came upon sketch
of Geo. w. Crafts.
A portion Of it, will be found below Con-
slider attentlvely the last line; it is one of the
most tremendous statements of utter human
shipwrecks and tragedy that I ever read:
con this subject Mr.. Crafts labored under
a fatal delusion. We have frequently heard
him express it, as his deliberate opinion, that
profound knowledge Of the laws was quite
unnecessary here. Instead, therefore Of sit
ting down to acquire it by severe and unre-
mltted study-the only price at which it can
be had-he ridiculed these who did so, as
mere plodders who had forfeited all claim
to the reputation of men of genius There
were two characteristics of his which inclined
him especially to entertain such notion-he
had more vanity than pride and his extra
ordinary facility in composition and speak
ing, made labor unnecessary to him for any
occasional display. AS soon, therefore, as he
began to appear at the bar, his ambition took
wrong turn Instead of projecting a
scheme of study and exertion, requiring the
utmost efforts of his industry and talent to
accomplish it, but promising him at the end
Of few years, complete and triumphant
success, he aimed always at immediate effect,
and the fleeting and delusive applauses of the
day. His love of praise, lnOrdlnate at best,
was thus more and more infamed until it
became an incurable disease He thought no
longer Of the future. 1t was the height of his
ambition>to pass for man of genius among
the men of wit and pleasure about town.
His fine talents were thus prostituted and
perverted, They were talked Of by every
body, and neglected, by none but him-the
enfant fato-upon whom they had been
lavished. Man, woman and child, ran after
Mr.. Crafts society, repeating his brilliant
salles, laughed at his witty jokes. He was
universally caressed-but his admirers were
'hugging him into snares He contracted
distaste for study-indeed for all serious
occupations Whatever he was to do was to
be done quickly; and he just reversed the

March 1st. The program opened
with very pleasing piano solo by
Mrs. McCrea, followed by humor-
Gus reading by Miss Stole, she has a
rare gift for impersonating children.
Too much cannot be said of the value
of Mrs. Hoyt's paper which touch
ed upon many subjects which will be
further discussed in future meetings.
Mrs. Moore's solo was one of the
delightful features of the program.
The following musical numbers were
rendered to the appreciation of all.

gave a very interesting and instruc-

each patron present this question,
What are you doing to make the
school of Kendrick success.
Miss Dryden, County Superinten-
dent, was also present and spoke
very encouragingly of the financial
condition of the district, among other
things she said, "Y> ur district will
never be in a better condition for
improvements than now, you have
no financial debts" Following the
program a business session was held
with President Mrs. McCrea in the

CLUB BANQUET A
GRAND SUCCESS

The Commercial Club Banquet
Tuesday evening was we'll attended
by the members of the club, farmers
and citizens of Kendrick and vicinity.
Visitors from Lewiston. Moscow and
Juliaetta were present. The Hard
ison Hotel has the thanks of the
Club, for the manner in which they
served the supper and allowed the re-
mainder of the session to be held
in their dining room. This little
spirit of activity among the citizens
has attracted the attention of several
towns in this section of Idaho and
they have begin to wake up to the
fact that Kendrick means business.
About seventy-five were present.
this is evidencnce that Kendrick will
do some good work in the way of
boosting her resources. A new
phrase, " Keep Potlatch Money in
the Potlatch," was coined by c. E.
Porter of Juliaetta, and it is quite
probable that this expression will be
adopted as the slogan of the develop
ment movement to be waged through
out the Potlatch communities. The
POSTMASTER of the evening was j. I.

after the conclusion of the splendid
banquet. Those addressing the
meeting were: w. ]. Jordan, Lew
