REBUKED THE DEAN.
The Theological Student Got His Re-

The Theological Student Got His Re-
vense In a Few Words.
Thirty years ago Alexander Schmidt
was dean Of the university at Dorpat,
in the Russian province of Livonia.
'"The BloOdsmith,' as the students
called him because of his researches
concerning the circulation of the blood,
was noted for the severity of his dis
cipline An amusing incident is told
Of him by an army chaplain in the
Zeitung der 10. Armee:
A certain theological student once
wanted to get leave from the universe
ty to attend his sisters wedding. The
dean refused the necessary permission
on the ground that the reason was too
trivial The student was greatly OF
Tended both because he wanted to go
to the wedding and because he sus-
pected that DR. Schmidt had not be-
loved that his excuse was a true one.
Accordingly be vas determined to get
some Kind Of revenge.
It CHANGED that on the day after the
affair he Was reading st. Paurs second
letter to Timothy when he suddenly
saw a verT clever way 10 get satisfac-
ton. LAYING down the Bible, he wrote
to the D0TpGt newspaper and ordered
an advertisement inserted in large
type that said simply. III Tim. iv.

Every reader of the paper, surprised
by that line, reached for his Bible and
looked up the verses. Imagine the

BURNING THE LEAVES.
A Foolish Waste of What Might Be a
Valuable Fertilizer.


Many tons of valuable fertilizer are
wasted every year through our practice
of raking the fallen leaves from lawns
and parks into the street and burning
them. We destroy one Of the best OF
natures fertilizers, that on which she
relies for the renewal of the vegetable
humus in the soil.
All natures protection is removed In
the interest of tidiness. Then we won
der why lawns must be so frequently
resOdded and why grass seed won't
catch" The fallen leaves protect the
roots of grass and shrubs from the
freezing and thawing of winter and,
deposited in a corner of the back yard
with a little earth thrown over them to
prevent their blowing away, in year
or two are converted into what the
forester calls duff an organic ma
terial which makes the loan that
grows the farmers best crops.
It is an excellent top dressing for the
lawn and enrichment for flowers and
shrubs and, mixed with little ordinary
earth. a most desirabl soil for filling
the window boxes and reporting plants,
something hard to get in town. 1t Is
invaluable to the amateur gardener
who uti1iZes his back yard, and yet it Is
almost invariably wasted. We pay
thousands OF dollars every year for
phosphates and nitrates and overlook
this valuable product of natures labor

made it will last long time and keep
in good condition with very few re-
pairs. If we should bring in trap
rock, and make the best possible
macadam road, it would last in good
condition only very few years,
and the maintenance and renewal
cost makes this in the end much the
more expensive road and except, per-
haps, the first year or two of it's
life, not nearly SO satisfactory to all
concerned as the concrete road. We
also find that brick pavement on a
concrete base would cost in the end
considerably less than the macadam
road.

are also built in some of the New

that if some kind of a permanent

should be provided by a serial bond
issue. By this method the money
can be provided for and the road
built at once so that we can have the
use of it while it is being paid for
The rate of interest on a bond of this
sort would probably be not more than
four per cent; while if the individuals
are taxed directly for the money for
this work, they would lose perhaps
| five or six per cent on their money
We believe by this method if it is
carefully planned before any work is
done, and provision made for all re-
quirements in connection with the
road, we can soon have a good road
to use, and our taxes be less than

Natures Monument to Washington.


Among the many monuments to
Washington is the one which every
visitor to the Cape Verde islands will
remember as one of the most colossal
and marvellous freaks Of natural sculp-
ture in existence. Along the farther
side of the harbor of San Vicente, the
principal town, rises a bold ridge of
dark gray volcanic rocks, the crest of
which forms an exact likeness of our
immortal George. seemingly lying face
upward, as if in a peaceful sleep. The
herO's large, bold features, the back
ward wave of the hair, his massive
shoulders and even the frill of the shirt
front are all reproduced on a gigantic
scale with wonderful eXactness. The
strange monument, sharply outlined
against the deep blue of the tropical
sky, is one of the first objects that
meet ones eye in approaching the
island.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The administra-
tion food control bill. stripped of the fea-
lures opposed by President Wilson, was
reported out of conference to-day, Just
one month after the date the president
had hoped to see it enacted into law
Enactment some time next week now
Is predicted. House conferees will make
their report tomorrow and favorable ac-
ton probably will be taken on it Fri
day. Senate approval probably will follow
early next week, although extended de-
bate is expected in the Senate owing to
elimination of Senate amendments which
would have provided for n Congressional
war expenditures committee and three
member food control board.
The weeks deadlock in conference was
broken by Senator Warren of Wyoming,
a republican, in agreeing to vote with the
democrats tc strike out the war eXpendi-
lures committee amendment particular

Senator Warren is understood to have
been influenced by a tacit understanding
that the Senate rules committee will report
favorably and as a separate measure a re-
solution to provide for joint congress

war, introduced by Senator Weeks, of
Massachusetts. Whether this resolution
can be put through both houses in prob

wage bitter fight against it.
Conferees from each house tonight de-
clared they had emerged from conference
victorious. The result resembled a draw.
The Senate conferees sacrificed their war
expenditures committee and three-mem-
ber food control board amendments while
the House conferees accepted greatly re-
stricted price fixing and control provi-
sions. 81 minimum for wheat and less

latter the manufacture of distilled liquors
would be prohibited and the president
