Baccalaureate

Rev. c. w. Greene's sermon to the
class of 1914, on Sunday evening, June
Ia, was an exceptionally eloquent and
inspiring effort. The value of educa-
ton was extolled, but the Importance
of labor, of common sense, of service
to mankind, and of upright character
was brought out in the most lucid and
effective way. The music for this &C.
casion was most enjoyable.

BARE NEW sWINDLlNG TRICK

Pariss-Thousands of dollars have
lately been extracted from Paris shop

was not on account of any particular
sharpness Of the police, but the fact
that Madame had failed to check off a
firm that had already been victimized
by the pair. This was their method:
/ They would hire small apartment
in an aristocratic. quarter, and deck
out the antechamber to represent
wealth and luxury. They then visited
the furriers, jewellers, and other shops
in the vicinity and ordered goods to
be sent to the fat at certain hours,
but never So as to conflict with other
7isits. Madame did most. OF the or

AS one appeared she would express
regret that her husband was not at
home, for she could make no pur-
chases without his consent. Would
L
the obliging clerk not leave the furs
or the necklace. or whatever he had
and return later? The clerk usually
did so. When he and his fellow-vic.
Tins arrived late in the afternoon the
couple had flown to operate in other
quarters.

WHO SHALL BE PRESIDENT?
Duke OF Fczensae's Successor Must
Be Very Wealthy and Of High
Social Standing.

Paris.-The death of the duke OF
Fezensac, head of the great Mon
tesqulou family, renders vacant the
important office of president of the
French Jockey club, one of the
worlds most exclusive clubs.
Founded in 1888 on the same lines
as the English Jockey club by the Gel
ebrated Lord Henry Seymour. it mum
bered among its fourteen foundation
members of the duke of Orleans, the
duke of Nemours, prince of the Mos
kowa and Count Oemidoff. .. >.
High social position and a large for
tune have always been indispensable
conditions of membership; one black
ball in six suffices to exclude. The
etiquette of the club is of the strict
est. and long period OF mourning
will elapse befoI the election OF the
new president takes place. The post
is not an easy one to fill, .Es
First, there are the social qualih-
cations, which are many; secondly,
the successful candidate must devote
much time TO his duties. Both the
late duke and his predecessor, Duke
dc Doudeauyille. we're admirable In
these respects. .-.. ts.... ..
The president is usually taken from
among the four vice-presidents, but OF
these at present two are considered
too elderly, and neither of the other
two seems to have enough weight for
the post.

Young Bryan win Practice Law
Out in Arizona.
Son Of Secretary Of State Will Also
Undoubtedly Become a Factor in
the Political Contest OF His
New Home.

Tucson, Ariz.-When it was an
nounced recently that William Jen-
nings Bryan, Jr., had been admitted to
the bar in Arizona people asked
whether he was going in for politics,
as did his father. The answer is, yes.
The question, Should a young man
go into politics?" has been asked of
statesmen, governors, mayors and
lesser politicians so often that there
has come to be standard answer to
It. That answer is by all means
Young men, the bost men are needed
in politics. Every man, young or old,
should take an interest in his govern
ment, for IL is only in that way that
good government can be assured"
This is the sense in which young
Mr.. Bryan answered the question, and
he added: AS for holding office, |
know of no Office that care TO hold
OF course he is Democrat.
UP to the present time he has not
taken much of part in Arizona poll
tics. Just now he is more interested
in the law and he thinks that the law
of Arizona is Of such character and
in such a state Of development that It
would be of absorbing interest to any
lawyer
In what branch OF law will you
specialize he was asked
Mining, irrigation and lands"
Mr.. Bryan has been in Arizona five
years. He is not heavy set like his
father, but slender and 1.-the. He is
the picture of health. He has record
as quarterback at Culver Military
academy and a record as oarsman in
the cutter; he knows every foot OF
groung within 40 miles of Tucson. he
has hunted through the surrounding
mountains for deer, rabbits, squirrels,
quail and ducks, and he drives his car
about town and to the ranch of Alex
ander Berger, his father-in-law, %
miles from Tucson, near place called
Vail.
A fellow has to have a broader
foundation in the law in Arizona than
in the east" he said to the correspond
ent. For instance, the law on water
rights is different in the west from
what it is in Massachusetts and other
eastern states.
'"N Massachusetts the doctrine or
riparian rights obtains. If a stream
runs through a mans premises he
owns that stream, no matter whether
he uses the water or not. He may
desire to simply to beautify his place.

To.day's Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards, Feb.
25.-After the close yesterday sew
eral thousand hogs changed hands
at the reduction, cutting the lett over
in first hands down to near 5000, and
the receipts this morning were H.
900 short of the number that had
been estimated for the day, This
small supply played into the hands
of the sellers. Eastern shippers
were liberal buyers and the specula-
tor was active. The market opened
strong at SOLO cents above Tues
days average, though the big local
packers held back and acted indif-
ferent. The close was slow but
without any decline in price.

Cattle receipts also were disap'

market was steady all day with the
good to choice steers selling full 10
cents above yesterday. As has been
the rule of late the bulk of the re-
ceipts today consisted of common
short fed kinds but even these met
with ready sale.
Very little demand existed for
stockers and feeders, and local trad

supply over. The market was rath-
er weak and dull. Good to choice
