He had hoped to place his

down to the perfected product me-
bodied in your own handsome self,
wouldn't you jump at the chance? 1
would.
!. How do we best remember things
in general? BY our mental images
of them, of course. How do you re-
member Napoleon Bonaparte, for
example? Through the pictures you
have seem of him-probably as the
saddest, most serious little fat man
you ever knew of-that, however,
being but one of his characteristics,
How do we remember the earmarks
of the Mesozoic or the Caenozoic per-
iod? We'll, frankly, don't.
But here in the massive Ethnology
building will be collected the most
remarkable exhibit that has ever been
ever attempted. 1t is most ambi-
tious undertaking and will represent
the sum total of human knowledge of
the history of you and me and the
rest of us. The ablest talent in the
world has been working upon this for
years. No expense has been spared.
And where it has been impossible to
purchase certain collections which
were logically necessary to complete
and round out the exhibit, they were
borrowed. Incidentally the institu-
tion which loaned them did not take
any chances-they exacted huge bonds
for the safe return of their invalu-
able collections. The result is the
most complete and unique exhibit of
the sort ever brougt together under
one roof-and a considerable part
of it has never been under a roof be-
| fore.
To get it all together the Smithson-
ian Institution of Washington has
sent it's explorers unto the ends of
the earth-and other where
they dug up some of the prehistoric
red men and then dug out before the
descendants of said prehistoric red
men could dig in and shoot them full
of poisoned arrows and other SOU
venirs. The School of American
Archaeology has contributed extern
sively and as fallen in with the idea
of making the whole exhibits graphic
and comprehensive to an unscien-
tific lowbrow like me, and another one
like you.
And SO we may go to school again,
without the inconvenience of set
hours, or textbooks or the stern eye
of long suffering teacher; and in a
few days, or even hours, of such in
tense interest that they pass all too
quickly, we may learn more about our
human history-and remember it
than we learned in all our school
years combined. And then when the
youngster says: dad, tell me about
the Crustaceans, or ''Why was a
troglodyte?" you'll be able to lay
down the evening paper and say with
becoming impressiveness; Well,
son, being blind on one side, the
troglodyte progressed in a circle,
thereby beating Senator-well, you
know the dub / mean-to it by a
couple of million years, and''-but l
haven't seen the complete exhibit yet
myself.
Talk about your royal roads to
knowledge!
Yours for the logos of ethnos,
Scotty.

UNVEIL MONUMENT
 TO SOUTHERN WOMEN
North Carolina Second of States to Thus Honor Women of the
 COnfederacy.

Raleigh, N. C., June 10.-A monu- ment to the North Carolina women of the Confederacy was unveiled here today. It is the second tribute of the South to it's women of the Con- federacy, similar monument hsving been erected by the state of South Carolina. Members of the North Caro- lima divison of United Confederate Veterans and scores of prominent men and women from tlrSs and other states witnessed the ceremonies.
 The memorial was made possible through the gift from the late Ashley Horne. who served as a Confederate soldier throughout the war between the states As a member of the state legislature from Johnston county he introduced measure royidins for the erection of statue by the state. Failing to elicit the necessary SUD- port, he gave $10,000, and accepted plans for the monument before his death in October. 1912.

SENATE VOTES ID REPEAL FREE TOLLS Adopts Norris-Sim m n S Amendment by Vote
 of 50 to A.
WAVES NO RIGHTS
Declaration Adopted Last Night Pro. vides That Act Relinquishes No Right of Y. $. to Discriminate
 in Favor of American Ships.

Washington, June 10.-By vote of fifty to twenty-four the Norris Simmons compromise declaration tC the repeal biii, was adopted in the senate tonight. Several senators who supported tn e amendment will vote against the bill on it's final passage
 The declaration, as thus agreed to provides that the passage of the act shall not be construed as waiver or relinquishment of any right of the United States under the treaty or otherwise to discriminate in favor of vessels of it's citizens by exempt ing them from the payment of tolls or as in any way waiviag, impairing or affecting any right of the United States under the treaty or otherwise with respect to the sovereignty over or the ownership. control and man. agement of the canal, and the regula- ton of the vonditio1s of traffic through the canal.
 Immediately following the vote on the Norris-Simmons amendment, Mr. Sutherland offered his substitute which, under tie rules, he had been shut out from doing until the origi- nal substitute had been voted upon The Sutherland declaration differs radically from the Norris Simmons compromise in that it asserts" the rights of the United States instead ot merely conserving" them. The sub. stitute was tabled.
 With the deteat of the Sutherland amendment, Senator GMmmins offer ed one in similar import, but making an emphatic assertion of the rights o1 the United States in somewhat diff ferent manner.
 He proposed to change the phase "any right" as it appeared in the Norris Simmons compromise to the right" end to strike out the words "may have" and substitute the dec larative "has" with regard to the right of this government to exempt vessels from the payment of tolls and to sub- stitute the "exempr> for the phrase discriminate in favor of its own yes sells by exempting."
 This amendment was rejected by a vote of 37 ayes and AZ nays.
 At 10:20 o'clock after the vote de- feating the Cummins amendment the senate recessed until Il o'clock tomor- row.

'HUFRT|STAS CONCENTRATING
 BEFORE FUNSTON'S LINES
COLONEL NERVOUS WHEN KERMIT WEDS
Second Son of Former Presi dent and Miss Willard
 Now Half Married"

Madrid, Spain, June 10.-With to- days civil ceremony, Kermit Roose welt and his bride may be said to be half married. The official knot was tied at the office of the chief of pO- lice in tEe CalIe Street Hugo by the magistrate of the Buena Vista district at II o'clock this morning. Elaborate police arrangements were successful in keeping the general public at a dis tanCe.
 There is certain coolness in the attitude of the Spaniards towards the distinguished Americans here. The memories of 1898 and Colonel Roose velt's exploits at Santiago evidently still ra-.kle in their minds.
 The colonel, with Kermit and his bride, arrived too early for the cere- mony and went motoring about the city, returning late. Kermit and Miss Willard were in high spirits, while the colonel seemed nervous.
 The wedding party numbered fife teen.
 Ambassador Willard had specially requested that there be no exceptions made on account of the high positions of the contracting parties and every requirement. of the law governing for eign marriages was fulfilled. The minister of state had suggested that the justice go to the American embassy. But the embassy is techni cally United States territory and SC outside the jurisdiction of the magis trate.
 The magistrate took his duties to- day as high honor and had fitted uI a room in his residence with some ella borateness for the occasion. The house is in the most aristocratic part of thu city. Large throngs watched the par ticipants on their way to and from the justices home.
 The wedding certificate was signet by the Spanish premier, Eduard Dato the minister of state, the Marquis O Lema; Myron T. Herriot, American ambassador to France and ColOne Theodore Roosevelt, the father of .ht bridegroom.

DROUTH MENACES
 ARKANSAS CROPS
Scarcity of Seed Makes Situation Un.
 usually Serious.

Little Rock, June 10.-Rain, rain. millions of dollars for gulley wash ing rain! This is the real cry of Ar kansas at the present, and if 1t does not come within the week, serious damage will already have been done to the crops. This is not the worst oi it., for there is a scarcity of seed to re- plant the stricken soil.
 Many farmers of Pulaski county are preparing to plant rye among the cotton, hoping thus to secure a croI of something, but they find grea' scarcity of the seed grain.
 The Little Rock seed houses state there is greater scarcity in other seedi than there is in rye, and that there was never a year in which they wer' so completely sold out of seed as thu present one. With burned up croI and no seed top lant again, the condi tion is indeed serious.
