Many people will disagree with DR..
Styker's idea of throwing out all stu
dents except those who maintain a
high average in studies. Many boys
who obtain only passing marks in
school or college are successful in fac
ing the hard knocks of life. Self-con-
fidence, coupled with the power of in
itiative and the judgment to seize OPP
portunities, often wins over the bright
mind which flinches under the stress
of responsibility. There will be hear
ty approval in many quarters of the
doctors idea of college athletics. 1t is
a bad system when preparatory
schools are closely watched, not for
their students, but for their athletes,
and when all sorts of inducements are
offered to the youngsters of physical
porwess to come to big educational in
situations in the hope that they may
win points in track and field events

Abilene, Kansas.
Ny dear Sir;
Is there among your readers a
Scelye? The name is spelled in many
ways, but relates 70 one and the same
family. And however spelled there
are none Of that name in America that
are not descendants OF Capt Rober,
Seelye. who came 20 America from
England with Robert Winthrop in 1880
in command Of one Of Winthrop's
ships, and settled in WATERFOWL, Mass.
on the Saltonstall grant; except pos
sibly some relatives Of Capt Robert
Seelye who came later Gin 1880 and
joined the Roger Williams Colony Of
settlers In Rhode Island.
Bennington. and several towns CON
uguous thereto, is frequently referred
10 in the old records at Washington, d.
c., and in the town records and Colon
ial records Of several states, and his
torical works in many libraries, as the
place where the early Seelyes settled.
At least two Seelyes Abner
Seelye and Lieut.. Ephriam Seelye,
were in the Battle Of Bennington,
Aug. rs, 1777 They were in Col. Seth
Warmers Regiment Of Green Noun
tain Boys. They came from Pownal or
Williamstown, Mass, Ephriam was a
minute man" IN l776, in Boston, and
was at the Battle Of Lexington, He is
buried at Pownal; was the son Of
Ephriam of Tinmouth and Dandy, VT
His father was one Of the committee
Of safety that held meeting in 1775-6
at the house of Martin Powell in Man
chester, Bennington County
Capt Abner Seelye was probably
the son of Ebenezer Seelye, who is
buried also at Pownal Ebenezer and
Ephriam Of Tinmouth were brothers.
Can any record be found to show
where they came from and who was
the father of Ebenezer and Ephriam
Of Tinmouth and Dandy?
There were other Seelyes in that vi
cinity. Jonathan Seelye, born l741,
lived for awhile at Pownal; Barnes
Seelye, son Of Lieut., Ephriam, raised
a large family at Pownal. He was
born there in April, l777. !. His second

PANAMA-PAcIFIc EXHIBIT.

The per capita consumption of alco-
holic liquor in non-prohibition Wis
consin and prohibition Kansas is
shown at the exhibit of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance union
at the Panama-Pacific exposition. A
hogshead having a sixty-four gallon
capacity represents the amount of liq-
uor consumed per capita in Wisconsin,
and tiny keg represents the amount
used in Kansas.
The large bronze Japanese bell in
this exhibit reminds one of the thou
sands of men who, giving up the habit
of smoking, contributed their pipes to
make this bell to commemorate the
work of Mary Allen West, w. c. T. U.
missionary to Japan.
The boys are interested in "Pros-
perity Statistics" showing, for in
stance, that there are twenty auto
mobiles to every one hundred farmers
in dry Kansas, while there is only one
to every one hundred farmers in wet
Missouri.
The famous Polyglot petition, con-
tanning 100000 signatures, which
was originated by Frances e. Willard
and has been presented to several

Insect Eeians Death.

Variable habit Of feigning death when
seized or disturbed. The stimulation
is SO persistent that when immersed
in water, or even in alcohol, the in
sect remains perfectly immovable, and
will allow itself to be burned alive
rather than betray itself. The tick
made by the aeathwatch resembles
that made by tapping the finger nail
upon the table-so much so that the
insect may be led to recommence his
sounds by doing this.

NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPMENT.

Many interesting facts are being
brought out concerning the states that
nave been under prohibitory laws for
some years, that they may help and
encourage other states that are now
meeting the wet or dry issue and that
Will at coming elections have the ques-
ton to decide. The 1910 census shows
that prosperous development along
all lines in North Dakota is startling.
Not only did the population increase
So per cent in the decade from 1900
TO 1910. but her wealth increased 2S19
per cent, or from $225,166,751 in 1900
TO S76,S14,205 in 1910; the value Of
farm products increased 211 per cent,
or from $64,252,O0 in 1900 to 1920, ,OOO,-
ooO in 1910. Its live stock increased
IN value in the same period 155 per
cent, probably a larger increase than
any other state. The crops increased
1S4.4 per cent, or from $53,911, ,419 in
1900 to $1S0.279,S72 in 1910, per-
centage exceeded by no other state.
North Dakota's agricultural wealth is
greater than that of the seven COM
pined New England states. Her bank
deposits from 1898 to 1913 increased
oy more than 1000 per cent.

AS she passed along, musing over
her trouble, wan, unhappy little face
looked out at her from one of the win
dows; so serious was it that she
thought it, at first, that of an old per-
son. Then it flashed suddenly upon
her that it was Dick Marville, the
scrubwoman's little boy, who had been
thrown from his sled while coasting
and had been helplessly paralyzed. AS
she hurried on she wondered what it
must mean to be boy of ten and
housed like that on the fourth of
July; warm wave of sympathy swept
over her, and when she reached Su-
sizes house, instead of pouring into her
ears the tale of her own trouble, she
laid a little plan before her. She
knew that the Montgomerys always
had splendid fireworks in the eve
ming. What treat it would be for
Dick if he could see them!
Susie, won't you let me drive your
dogcart down to the village and bring
poor little Dick Marville up here to
see the fireworks? He isn't having
any Fourth at all, and it must be
dreadfully dull for boy"
why, you dear Peggy, it will be
Splendid" And SO, instead of griev-
ing over miserable quarrel, Peggy
spent the next few hours in the hap
piest work she had ever DONE
Indeed, Maurice Arnold was little in
her thoughts-not half so much as she
was in his, for he was having an un-
happy time of it. That evening as he
passed down Main street on his way
home he was surprised to see Scsie
Montgomery's dogcart at the curb
near Dick Marvilie's home, and Peg
gy, with the happiest expression on
her face he had ever seen, lifting a
pale, but radiant, child from the cart.
1t seemed providential that he should
meet her thus. With one bound he
sprang forward.
Peggy, that child is too heavy for
you; let me carry him in;' and with
out waiting for her answer he took
| the boy from her and passed into the
house
In a few moments he was out again.
and helping her gently into the cart,
he sprang in beside her and drove
| toward the Montgomerys'.
After moment Peggy spoke: ITO
think that poor little Dick Marville
| should have brought us together like
this!"
And Maurice replied: "It wasn't
Dick, Peggy; 1t was your tender sym
! pathy for one In trouble"

A RECENT CONVERT.

A RECENT CONVERT.
The announcement of his conver.
sion to prohibition was made at exer-
cises at the Franklin union in Boston
by Ex-Governor Foss, who has been
three times elected chief executive of
the state of Massachusetts,.
T have been thinking that it's about
time for me to stop voting for the IL
censed saloon" said Mr.. Foss. so
long as l make it rule to have my
superintendents and foremen dis.
charge men who are addicted to
liquor, how inconsistent it Is for me
to support an open saloon near my
manufacturing establishment, where
the men have to go back and forth
two or three times day.
This question of prohibition is a
very large one. 1t may be the most
important social political and moral
question of today. Certainly 1t is an
economic question. From an econom-
ic viewpoint, why shouldn't we have
national prohibition?
Abraham Lincoln said: You can't
have nation half slave and half
free.' We can't have a nation half
wet and half dry. 1t is impossible per-
fectly to enforce prohibition in a
state surrounded by liquor states.
II believe national prohibition is in
the interest of public health. In my
three years as governor of Massachu-
sets 1 saw 10000 or more people
locked up in this state and $5,000,000
a year appropriated for their support.
They were there On account of liquor,
mainly. 1t is ridiculous to stand in
the way of this movement The large
cities get a comparatively small fund
from licenses. Aside from every 9TH
er consideration, economically, we
here in America must come to ma
tional prohibition"

THIS WAS PEGGY'S
DAY OF REAL JOY

The little town was gay with bunt-
ing, and the clear sunshine and radl-
ant blue of the skies seemed to unite
joyously for the festal occasion. Ev-
cry one seemed infused with the pa
triotic spirit of the day, and Peggy
Marsden felt somewhat ashamed OF
her dropping spirits as she passed
down the street. But it is hard, at
twenty-five, when one has quarreled
with ones sweetheart and given UP
picnic of many weeks planning in
consequence, to feel in the happiest of
moods.
She had decided to go down to

THE BETTER RISK.

How the use of alcohol shortens
iiie was one of the interesting fea-
lures OF the discussion recently be-
tore the Association of Life Insurance
= residents at the Hotel Astor, New
iork. Mr.. Arthur Hunter, chairman
OF a committee which studied the
cases OF 100000 policy-holders in an
investigation for 43 life insurance
companies into the causes of prema-
su,e deaths, said that alcohol played
leading role in fastening death.
