OUR GRADUATES
By Ruth)

-ttSy EtuLnJ
 Tonight we have the graduates. Throughout these years as parenta and friends we have watched them come up step by step from the first toddling stages to this goal. We hays encourag ged them-cheered them on whenever their task seemed hard for them to bear for we well knew that in these miniature battles of child hood are won or lost the greater ones of life.
 Time flies quickly and almost 'ers we realize it our little boys and girls of yesterday are the men and women Of today. In this era, education is eB- sentia1 to success. That Is why each years graduating class with it's '1arg- est ever'' number of members fs e growing tribute to our city.
 Tonight-the last time perhapss that the class will ever all be together at one time, 1t is as though they stood upon a hf1f' looking back over a sea of treetops through which they have come. From the horizon a fast sink ing sun is casting its last rays across the scene. Behind them rises a steep but for this moment they are living in the retrospection. All Is calm on that sea, the tree tops just swayed by the gentle evening breeze of mem ory-
 only the travellers themselves and LnOS6 sSuluCSs AlelE LEalILA6ll know of the many footballs, of the rocks and of the deep valleys con cea1ed beneath.
 In every one of these nearly two hundred hearts there is "a different alma slightly different path which each must make for himself. Who can tell tonight, as they stand together which one of them will reach the sum- init first?
 But lol even now as they watch the sun has set, it's rays are but % memory, and OUT young frfends. aG they turn toward the mountain, are ready for the new sun which the nor row will dawn.
 Meditating thus, we are taken back to our own graduation-agafn we are on that platform,-again we hear the words of welcome-again those of fare we'll Then come the hopes. the dreams of that night and, with half sad smile we find ourselves repea tings .'Whither is fled the visionary
 gIeam?
 Where is it now, the glory and the
 dream?''
 But the present again claims us. We listen to the essays of these boys and girls; we applaud them as they re- ceive their prizes; we feel with them as they sing their words Of valedictory and then the prayer comes into our hearts, that to everyone of them may life bring all the beauty, all the joy all the happiness it can possibly give This, then, is our benediction ito our graduates-to the class Of B. Fl. s.. 1913.

An overhead Picture Gallery.

Kuweft is situated at the head of the Persian gulf It is an ordinary Arab border town, built of mud and plaster, with few houses more than one story high and only the sheik's palace mak- ing any pretensions to elegance. One room in this palace is distinctly bizarre and, in a way, arabesque. It has large and beautiful Persian rug on the floor and ceiling covered with many chromos of queens and actresses and others in guilt frames, picked up in the Bombay bazaar. Only an Arab would have thought of that place for the pie tures.-Christian Herald.

YOUTH TRIES TO
 SHOOT UP COURT
Opens Fire On Judge and Attorneys When Refused
 Probationary Term

Washington, June 24.-Judge, law yers, policemen and spectators were sent seurrying to cover in the criminal
 court here late yesterday when Ray M.
 Stewart, aged IS, fired three wild shots
 in an attempt to -"shoot up the
 court At the first crack, Justice Wen
 dall F. Stafford disappeared beneath
 his desk, and out in the court room
 there was a. wild scramble for places of safety. Some sought refuge under
 tables or behind heavy chairs and
 others, frenzied by fear, 1eaped into
 windows and dropped. to the ground
 some fifteen. OF twenty feet below.
 Justice. Stafford had just refused to
 release Stewart on probation after
 conviction. for attempted highway rob-
 bery. The hoy whipped out a 32 call
 ibre automatic pistol and fired three
 shots two of. which narrowly missed
 Assistant U. $. Attorneys Samuel Mo
 Comas Hawken and Harvey Given and
 Policeman Moffitt. He was in the at
 titude of turning towards the judge
 as if to shoot when a. witness sprang
 upon him and choked him into in-
 sensinility.
 In the confusion that followed many
 thought that Justice Stafford had been struck by a bullet, but the judge emerged from his haven without a
 scratch
 Stewart had been convicted recently
 of holding up negro in a Washing ton suburb, last December. He had applied for probation as a first of fender and Justice Stafford had been hearing the testimony of witnesses for and against the applicant. Hawken, Given and Moffite, who were conduct ing the prosecution, were seated near the boy who had been at liberty on bail. The judge had barely uttered the last word in passing sentence when the prisoner brought out his pistol and began to shoot The first shot was F aimed in the direction of the prose cutor and just missed Hawken, who forthwith tucked under the table. The bullet lodged in the easement of a window behind him. The next shot went toward the jury box and passed dangerously near Detective Sergeant Grants head. It struck the wall near the window and rebounded, falling near Justice Staford's bench. The third shot struck the ceiling. As the youth wheeled and faced the 1 bench. Edwin Blaine. a clerk in the department of agriculture, who had the boy by the throat and carried him By this time the court room had been nearly cleared of officials and spectators.
 Stewart lay unconscious for several minutes after being disarmed. Later he was removed to the cell room be- 1 heath the court room, where he re- 1 fused even to admit that he did the shooting.
 Counsel for Stewart said the youth
 was unbalanced as the result of read ing cheap literature. The hoId-up for which the boy was about to be sent
 enced had many features of the dime
 novel variety, it was said, and added to 1t was an attempt to initiate the Aliens murderous attack on the Hills vile, Va, court.
 Now the boy Is in jail, awaiting trial on the charge of shooting with intent to kill.

use of the Left Hand.

Of just how much values daily value, is your left hand to you aside from 1t being natural appendage of your left wK1St3 It is estimated that hardly one person out of ten uses his left hand s per cent of the 100 per cent of its usa- b4eness from getting up in the morn- ing until going to bed at night. In this respect the left handed person, although often made the butt of the ''lefty'' stigma, is far superior to his right hand neighbor. There is hardly 8 left handed man. or woman who eanA not use the right hand much more freely and with stronger grip than the right handed man or woman can use the left. So weak is the left hand of many men and women that, although not crippled in any way and perfect as to shape and size; nevertheless it is held back and guarded and restricted as though it were an Injured member. In lifting weights or grasping objects with the f1rmness necessary for nov ing or shifting the right handed per son makes the right hand do three fourths of the work.-New York Sun.

SENATORS IN ANTI
 FREE SUGAR FIGHT

Washington, June 24.-Senator Walsh. of Montana, resumed his anti- free sugar speech, today, when the Democratic caucus resumed Ready to support an amendment to strike out the provision for free sugar in 1916 were Senators NewIands, Rams dell Thornton and Williams.
 The sugar schedule promised to take up the entire day. Senator James planned to lead the defense. While the caucus battle will determine the strength the Democrats are to have in support of the tariff bill on the Senate floor, the question of binding Senators to the bin as approved by the caucus will not come up until all schedules have been approved.

A Woman at Greenwich Observatory

A Woman at Greenwich Observatory.
 t'When we visited Greenwich ob- seFvatory," said the traveller, 'T set my watch by the observatory clock. Since everybody else who has a watch does that, nobody paid any attention to me, but my wife created big enough sen sation for both of us.
 "She had done little. shopping be fore we went down to Greenwich. In her hand bag she carried a remnant of lace. Far more attractive to her than the obseFvatory'se wonderful clock were the little iron pegs driven into the ob- servatory wall,. which represented the true measure of the British yard, two feet, one foot, six inches and three inches.
 ''Just at o'clock out came her bit of lace, and at the minute when every body else stood impressed with the fact that standard time for a large part of the civilized world was being set with fin those walls my wife stood before the iron pegs calmly measuring lace.''- New York Times.
