tages should appeal not only to own people, but
to every State in the Union The different Common
weaths while keeping pace with the progress of the
times and adapting educational methods to the needs

District of Columbia has the opportunity of studying
in such magnificent institutions as the Smithsonian,
the National Museum the Congressional Library, the
Agricultural Department, and Botanic Garden while

of life, to be able to succeed in period where the
survival of the fttest is the keynote Washington is
the city par excellence to make strong men and
women.

Leland stanford. who was serving as
United States Senator from California at
the time OF his death IN 1888. had counsel
constantly with Mrs. Stanford. not only
with respect to his great business inter-
ests, but also upon the plans which he
had worked out for the establishment Of
the Leland Stanford. Jr., University. The
institution aud many of its features rep
resent the judgment and advice Of Mrs.
Stanford.
She was q woman Of rare business ca
paeity and possessed unusual Intellectual
power. For that reason Senator Stanford
was confident that in case he should be
taken away before the work was COM
pleted 1t still would be carried on exactly
as he and Mrs. Stanford had >contem-
plated It.
Several years after Senator stanford's
death Mrs. Stanford took great interest
In historical work which Il was eX-
pected would tell the story OF the Pacific
Coast under the civilization OF the United
States and before that the civilization
which Spain had established there. Mrs.
Stanford was much consulted by those
who were preparing the work, and she
gave valuable information to them.
By her invitation there called upon her
one day one Of the editors who were en-
gagged upon this work. After a short con-
versation she said to him: Doesn't the
work go satisfactorily? I ask the ques-
tion because. as look at you. II seems
to me that you are worried. Something
is on your mind II that is so. can tell
you how to drive worry away"
The editor confessed to her that certain
matters had arisen which were embar-
RAISING and which. in fact. did cause him
to worry a little.
Mrs. Stanford said: DO you care to
listen to the experiences OF a woman who
has learned how TO overcome worry
When the editor said he would gladly
receive this communication. Mrs Stan
ford went on to say: You know I have
had since Mr.. Stanford's death a great
many difficulties to meet and to over
come, and occasionally something hap
pens. or used to happen. which caused me
TO worry a great deal. At last realized
that IT was not well for me. antl certainly
was not well for the matters which l had

be cast down or TO be the victim of worry,
