RUsKIN A GREAT TEACHER
Knew How to Lead the Child, Youth
and Mature Man and
Woman.

What a teacher Ruskin was! He
gave himself to those who came, en-
tering keenly into the young delight
in the perception of new truths and
beauty. knowing how to take the
learner step by step as he saw the
way ahead. He charmed all with his
inimitable style even when he spoke
TO the humblest in the guild of st.
George.
To the sensitive, impressionable
nature of childhood he came with a
food of artistic criticism that made
us yearn to draw and paint, to depict
the delicate tracery of tree stems or
catch the varied tints of mountain,
lake, pr cloud; while his scorn for
careless unconscientious artwork
drove US to strive for the best.
To the growing youth he brought
such keen perception of moral beau
ty as made US desire to realize some
noble ideal in life. to enter seriously
some pursuit with a pure love of do
ing beautiful work; while his con-
tempt for machine-made articles OF
poor finish taught US to value those
noble craftsmen of all ages who took
infinite pains with all that was worth
doing.
To our ripening manhood and WON
anhood he opened the ideals of unset
fish life. where all might let their
hearts delight in the labor of their
hands and none should toll with sui
fering for a miserable pittance; while
his prophetic denunciations of the
hideous conditions prevailing in our
large manufacturing districts made
US earnestly seek to probe these
sores and find their cure.-Theosoph
ical Path.

TAFT WILL TRY 1T.
Budget System of Estimating Reve-
nues to Be Inaugurated

Beverly, Sept. 19.-President Taft
intends to give the people of the
United States an opportunity to be-
come familiar with a budget system
o. estimating revenues and expendi-
lures whether congress approves or
not. In bill passed by congress and
signed by the president in the closing
hours of the last session it was de-
cided that estimates should be submit
ted to congress as heretofore. The
paragraph escaped the eyes of the
president at the time, but since the
session closed he has decided that he
will try to show the country the ad-
vantages of a budget system over the
present methods of estimating the in
come and expenditures of the govern
ment.
The president, after consulting with
Secretary MacVeagh, has reached the
conclusion that there is nothing to
prevent Mr.. MacVeagh sending along
the estimates in budget form just as
a omparisOn and not for use in
fra naing bills.

COPE CASE SETTLED.
Fund Goes to Unincorporated Society
BE q Trustee.

At the close of the hearing in the
Women's Home Missionary case in
the second division of the district
court late yesterday afternoon Judge
George H. Whitcomb reviewed the case
and declared that he will endeavor to
see that the trust fund, around which
the dispute has centered. be used for
the purposes intended by Mrs. Fannie
E. Murray, whose bequeSt it is. He
declared perhaps he would find it ad-
visable to appoint a trustee into whose
hands the trust might be committed.
II am sure" he said, that the Ia
dies who formed the corporation cid
SO with the best of intentions. They
acted under .ES- Instructions from the
administrator of the estate, Mr. H. NJ
Jackson of Atc1ison. Later the breach
widened.
The court must yet determine in
what maner the funds will be turned
over to accomplish the purpose in
tended"
Judge Whitcomb said he would re-
lieve the corporation of the responsi-
bility for the trust. declaring he be-
lieved it the intention of Mrs. Murray
to place it at the disposal of the UNI
incorporated society, of which she was
a member.
The court said no fraud had been
shown in the handling of the funds
and that there has been no misappro-
priation, the evidence of the banker in
whose hands the securities had beer
placed showing that the funds are in
tact. Not only that but the money has
been growing during the fight, inter-
est in the sum of 1924 having ac-
cumulated.

RE E. Cope this morning. Mrs. Core

having been a heavy one.

than that the money should go Tor
