TOWN OF FUNNY DREAMS
THE FUNNY BEAR
BY Bob Williams

At the other End of Funny Dale
There lived, In a great big Shed,
A Funny Bear as bg's a Horse
His Name was Grlzzly Ned.
His Coat was thick and warm as Toast;
His eyes were bright as Goals;
Ana ev'ry time he turned around
he knocked down sev'ral Poles.
Each day the Man who owned the Shed
Would take him for a walk
You see, he'd raised him from a Cub,
And Taught him how to Talk.

almost as long us the alphabet. In 1871
sho was graduated from Cornell, and fol.
lowed this with n course at Johns Hon.
ltnS University. Later she went to tha
Universities of Leipzig and Zurich and
In 1889 received tho degree of doctor Of
philosophy from the latter institution,
making her the first American woman
to receive n doCtoratc OF arts at a Euro
pcan university. She accepted a posi-.
tion as professor of English at Bryn
Mawr in 1855 and became the dean at the
same time. In 1891 she was made presl-
dent. which position she has held ever
since.
A STRONG CHARACTER.
According to students who have gone
through the college, Miss Thomas is a
woman of inexorable will. Absolutely fair
and absolutely just, what she says Is
law and she carries her point against
seemingly insurmountable odds. An IL
lustration of this is in the set of rules
which she laid down this fall Accord
Ing to n Bryn Mawr girl the entire stu
dent body was in arms over them, be-
cause they were considered a Ylrtallment
of student liberty and infringement on
sclf-Government. BY all the known means
that students use to have rules abrogated.
they showed their dsapproval. But to no
avail. Those rules are still in force,
"The funny part of II is" the student
went on TO explain, that, although we
rail for the time being at some of her
mandates, she is very popular. 1t is
perhaps because she inspires such intense
respect"
Miss Thomas chapel talks are said
to be unique and always we'll attended.
Religion seldom enters into them. Some
times it is a disquisition on cold baths
and again an address on suffrage. but,
regardless of the topic, her talks always
have the pep"
Bryn AGawr and tho higher education
of women is her hobby just as II was
Miss CARROTS. And comprehensive
graduate department has always been her
dream. With the unlimited sum that will
soon be hers to command, and which II
is thought Miss Garrett intended for the
development of the college. it is expect
cd that Bryn Mawr will stand I'm class
with Johns Hopkins and oxford.
There is no danger, however, or hope,
according to the point of view, of the
college becoming coeducational inst-
tuition. For Miss Thomas seems to be-
lteve absolutely in separate education for
women.
From every point of view." says she
In one of her books, 'it is undesirable 10
have the problems of love and marriage
presented for decision to young giri
during the four years when she ought 10
devote her energies to profiting by the
only systematic intellectual training shs
Is likely to receive during her life"
Those who know her say that to no one
could n trust have been conflded win
more safety than to Miss Thomas, and
whatever Miss Garrett, who. though meyer
intimate with the students, was regarded
by them as the good fairy of the college
desired should be done with her money
that desire will now be fulfilled.

SUES CARDINAL
FOR NEW CHURCH
Woman Who Gave Edifice Taken

Mrs. Cecilia f. Wentworth, who has
q summer home at West Shokan, Ulster
County, is suing Cardinal Farley, as
head Of the Roman Catholic Church
in this dioc, , 10 compel the erection Of
d new church at that village 70 take the
place Of the one which the plaintiff
built, and which was condemned by
the city Tor the Catskill Aqueduct
che asks as an alternative that the
church corporation hand over to her
the S9.176 which she says the city
paid for the property, and which Mrs.
Wentworth says rightly belongs 10 her,
as she built the church on her own
land.
There was no Catholic church at
West Shokan when Mrs. Wentworth
went to live there, in .S9l. She says
that the late Archbishop Corrigan told
her that if she would buy site and
provide for the erection of church
he would have services conducted
there and prayers said for Mrs. Wet
worth at each mass. Mrs. Wentworth
bought the land and had the church
built.

Almost every lrishman there IS the
son or grandson Of an evlcted tenant
evicted in all the horrors and suffer
ings of the black fo-ties' and most
of them have heard stories OF these
wrongs at their mothers knees. In
addition the oldtime revolutlonarles
still preach the old doctrlcs Of rev
olution and anti-EHglisn sentiment.
Then there was the German money
