faithful attendants at her bedside.
Mrs. Selix had been member Of
the South Ottumwa Baptist church for

a local sage, the type of wise man
such as almost every community can
boast. He saw the larger opportunity
and the real issues involved. In his
quiet eddy of life, he had become q
philosopher. A lesser man would have
thought first of the loss of good shep.
herd, of the increased burden of hav.
ing the family. of Moses to care for
and of the personal regret at the sep
aration. But Jethro, like parents who
are every day sending their children
out to larger missions, with never a
revelation of the inner heart-break,
said, go in peace"
Probably the exiled foster son of the
Egyptian princess went secretly back
to Goshen. We can imagine the thrill
that ran through the community Of
slaves as the tidings of this secret
conference was impaired to the trust.

TWO NEWARKERS IN
PRINCETON CREW
Quinby and Purdy to Row With
Tiger Oarsmen Against
Yale.
COURSE FAvORS ELI EIGHT

Two Newark boys are holding down
seats on the Princeton crew, which
will meet the Yale eight on Lake Car
negie tomorrow afternoon. They are
Ripley Quinby, who is rowing number
four, and Raymond Purdy. who Is
rowing number six. Quinby prepared
for Princeton at Barringer High
School, where he came into promi-
nence as a member of the blue and
white football and track teams. Quin-
by took up rowing in his freshman
year. Last year he was considered q
likely candidate for the varsity eight,
but his inexperience compelled him to
wait until this year before securing
berth. Quinby is by far the
heaviest number of the Tiger crew.
Purdy received his diploma from the
Newark Academy. Purdy did not
take any prominent part in athletics
while at the academy. He rowed on
his freshman crew.
Headed by Coach W. A. Hartman
and Captain T. B. Denegree. tho Yale
arrived in Princeton this afternoon.
The yale shell mad preceded tne
squad, thus allowing the Yale varsity
an opportunity to take a practise
spin on the lake this afternoon. The
Princeton crew had its final time
trial on Wednesday afternoon. The
record made compared favorably with
any made this fall. The Princeton
crew will take a short practise spin
Friday afternoon, but will indulge in
no severe try-outs.
The odds appear to favor Yale for
tomorrow's. race. The shortness of
the course favors the Eli. The Eng
lish stroke, which the Yale crew is
utilizing, is said to be most effective
over a short course. Added to this
the Yale crew has had more time to
prepare for the race than Princeton.
The race is scheduled for O'Clock,
Immediately before the Princeton
Dartmouth football game.
