AMERICA UNIVERSITIES MISSOURI
By George Fitch

The University of Missouri is the
 IIagenbach of American colleges. It
 turns out more tame tigers than
 any other institution in the world,
 not excluding Princeton.
 It is located in, around and all
 over Columbia, Missouri, a small city which has swelled all out of shape in it's efforts to hold the university. Columbia may be reached by taking
 the Wabash railroad to excess. This university is the patriarch of all the territory west of the Mis- sisippi river. It was founded in 1899 when California was a Mexican sheep ranch and when Iowa settlers were too busy lodging Indians to indulge in education. It once had a hand some main building with a portico supported by massive Ionic columns. The building burned. but the columns
 were left standing and are very ten derly preserved, the students being put on their honor not to remove them in their play. These columns are a beautiful sight and serve to prove that a | Greek ruin in this country is twice as interesting and impressive as a l Greek building.
 Ine state or M1SSOurl IS very llN- | eral with it's university. It gives it over a million dollars a year and ! many fine buildings have been built | on the campus. The university com- petes fiercely each year with the University of Kansas for the fresh man from Kansas City and when it gets a majority of these it is as 1 pleased as if its football team had 1 pushed the JayhaWllers all over the | field in the annual football game. | The University of Missouri is noted for it's School of Journalism, which | was one of the first in the country. !

DREAMS REALIZED
By Walt Mason

We all have dreams when we are young, sweet dreams of future splen- dor; we see upon our pathway flung all kinds of legal tender; we see our selY es achieve fame that spreads from Troy to Goshen, so all the peo- pie speak our. name with ferVor and emotion Then some of us sit down and wait the visions sweet fulfilling, Gepending on a kindly fate to help us make a killing. We wait till we are weak and old, for Fortunes kind ly token: we wait till we are green with mold, and all our dreams are broken Our hearts are filled with bleak despair when Wintry age ap- proaches, and to the poorhouse we repair, to weep and swat the reaches. And some have dreams of gorgeous hue, fine dreams of coming glory. ''We'Ik make those dreams" they say, ''come true, before we're old and hoarv~ With willing feet and eager hands they're chasing Fortune al ways, while t'other dreamer idly stands, or sits and chews his gal ways On, dreams are fine if you have spunk to follow up the vision, but all those dreams are simply bunk which bring free gifts elysian.

opportunity to remove the causes
 that led to the strained relations be- tween the two governments. The note follows:
 In regard first to the ascertain ment of damage by experts, the Ger man government believes it should dispense with the nomination of an umpire In cases of ascertainment of damages, hitherto arranged between the German government and a neut- ral government from similar causes, the experts named by the two par ties always reached an agreement as to the amount of the damage without difficulty; should it not be possible however, to reach an agreement on some point it is probable that point will be settled by diplomatic nego- tiations.
 Assuming the American govern ment agrees to this, the German gov ernment names it's expert, Dr. Kepny
 of Bremen. director of the North German Lloyds. It begs to await the designation of an American ex- pert.
 "The German government declares it agrees to the proposal of the American government to separate the question of indemnity from the ques- ton of the interpretation of the Prussian- American treaties of 17S5, 179O and 1928. It. therefore, again expressly states that in making pay ment it does not acknowledge any violation of the treaty as contended on the American side, but will ad- init the settlement of the question of indemnity does not preiudIc~ an ar aF IA 1ifforn,oonc of opinion concerning the interpretation of the treaty rights. and that this dispute if left be decided by The Hague tribunal.
 Negotiations relative to signing compromise provided in Article 52 of The Hague arbitration convention had best be conducted between the foreign offices, and the American embassy at Berlin in view of diff culties in the way of instructing the imperial ambassador at Washington. Tn case the American government agrees, the foreign office is prepared to submit to the embassy a draft of such compromise.
 The American governments in quiry as to whether the German gov ernment Will govern it's naval opera tions in accordance with German or American interpretation of the treaty adaptations in question, pending ar bitral proceedings, has been carefully considered by the German govern ment. From the standpoint of law, and equity, it is not prevented in its opinion from proVeeding against American ships carrying contraband according to it's interpretation until the question is settled by arbitration
 For the German government does not need to depart from the applica- ton of generally recognized rules of law on maritime war, as by the declaration of London, unless and in so far as the exception based on the treaty is established beyond all doubt. In the case of the present difference of opinion of the German and American governments such an exception could not be taken to be established except on the ground of arbitral award

 Flung open wide for us to flee And watch along the surf rnged shore The heaving jewel of the And will find some cora. cave
 Where you shall doff your linen fair. By the foam tipped up running wave,
 Anr free the marvel Of your hair: And match your whiteness with the spray, And match your strange eyes with the seS And, like a Nered, you shall sway, 70 Cradled in lapis Iazuli. Then turn. and, like dolphin glide
 Through hollow halls of gimmerings jade. Where solemn gleaming fish abide
 For ever in twilight glade And l shall watch you sink and pass,
 Then dive, and midway we shall meet Two dreams within a magic glass;

 0F WILD ANIMALS
Cy De Vry, Custodian of Lincoln Geological Park, Chicago, in
 the City

The man who knows more about wild animals than anybody else in the United States and who under stands them better and whom they understand better. was in Phoenix yesterday He is Cy De Vry, GUS todian of Lincoln Geological Park,
 Chicago. He was accompanied by
 Mrs. De Vry. They were returning
 home from a visit to the California
 expositions.
 They were shown about the valley
 yesterday afternoon by James ;.
 Griffin, an old acquaintance, who
 first met Mir De Vry several years
 ago while negotiating for the safe
 of a couple of ostriches to the park.
 The work of MT. De Vry takes him
 all over the world and he is re-
 garded as one of the chief sources
 of supply by those who deal in wild
 animals, especially by moving picture
 proprietors. He lately sent several giraffes to Selig's in California. He spent year in Europe, having severed his connection with the park but the city urged his return, and when he entered the park there was such q reception as few men have ever had The animals manifested their delight in attempts to break
 out of their cages.
 He related yesterday the manner in which pythons are fed. A python will not eat in captivity. He may finger for many months but even q snake must some time take some thing into his stomach to live. There are two pythons at the park, one of them twenty feet in length. They are fed every three or four months but it takes twenty men to do it one man for each foot of the snakes l length, though that arrangement is
 not laid down by rule.
 The python is found stretched out at length. In that position he is comparatively easily handled; but once he is coiled, twenty men could do nothing with him. The head ol ! the python is put into a frame that ! holds it tightly and a hose about i five feet in length is pushed dowr 1 his neck. The other end of the hose | is connected with a machine some thing like q sausage grinder, whose i endless screw arrangement force! ground meat down the hose into th' stomach of the snake. The pythor
 does not enjoy the meal but it serve: 1 the real purpose of all meals.

The royal literary fund owed its in
ception to one of those tragedies of
poverty common in literary annals. In
1888 famous Greek scholar, FIoyer
Sydenham, was arrested for a trif1ing
debt due for his frugal meals and cast
into prison, where he died in want and
misery at the age of eighty. His sad
story, becoming known, evoked sym
pathy, the practical outcome Of which
was the establishment of fund to rem
der assistance to needy men of letters
of all nations. The chief promoter of
the fund was David Williams, a Nom
conformist minister and friend of Ben
janin Franklin, whom France honored
for his services by making him q citi-
zen of the republic. Standard
