one always feels when a man does
 his duty well and bravely. There is
 quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life, and there is no need for meeting 1t unneces- sarily in fiction. As police commis- sioner it was my duty to deal with an | kinds of squalid misery and hideous and unspeakable infamy, and I should have been worse than a coward if 1 had shrunk from doing what was neces sary; but there would have been no use whatever in my reading novels detailing all this misery and squalor and crime, or at least in reading them as steady thing. Now and then there is a powerful but sad story which really does good; but normally the books which do good and the books which healthy people find interesting are those which are not in the least of the sugar candy variety. but which, while portraying foulness and suf- ferinS when they must be portrayed yet have a joyous as well asA a noble side.
 We have a very mild and open fall have played tennis 8 good deal, the French amka ssador being now quite a steady Elaymate, and he and l play abont alike; and I have ridden with mother a great deal. Last Mon day when mother mad gone down to New York I had Selous. the great Af- rican hunter, to spend the day and night. He is a perfect old dear; just as simple and natural as can be and very interesting. I took him, with Bob Bacon, Clifford Pinchot, Ambas- sador Meyer and Jim Garfield, for a good scramble and climb in the after noon, and they all came to dinner af- rewards. Before came down to dinner I got him to spend three-quar- ters of an hour in telling delightfully."- exciting lion and hyena stories to Ethel, Archie and Quentin. He told them most vividly and so enthralled the little boys that the next evening I had to tell them a large number my self
 Today is Quentin's birthday and he loved his gifts, perhaps most of all the weest, cunningest live pig you ever saw, presented him by Straus. Phil Stewart and his wife and boy, Vol colt (who is Archie's age), spent a couple of nights here. One afternoon we had hide-and- go- seek. bringing down MT. Garfield and the Garfield boys, and Archie turning up with the entire football team, who took day off for the special purpose. We had obstacle races, hide and go-s e k hIind mans buff, and everything else; there was a perfect shoal of small boys bursting in every direction up and down stairs, and through and over every conceivable object.

second objection that is raised is that it means three solid years out of ones active life. It is an opportunity for enriching personality, and giving a proper and larger viewpoint of life, and three years is little enough to pay for all that the scholarship brings. The fact is. the ideal of the Rhodes trust was that America should come close to England; that the best product that America could produce and the best that England could produce should share each others views. The ideal of Cecil Rhodes was that America and England in the future shall be the dominating forces in civilization and that we must avoid differences

That is a task of considerable but so many helpers have been enlisted that without doubt the work may be completed by Christmas eve.

Poets and Princes


 DEAR KERMIT:
 Just line, for I really have nothing to say this week. I have caught up with work. One day We had a rather in at lunch. They made me feel quite badly by being so grateful at my hav- ing mentioned him in what I fear was @ very patronizing and indeed super cilious way as having written an oc- casionaI good poem. I am struck by Robinson's two poems which you sent mother. What queer. mystical crea- ture he is! I did not understand one of them-that about the gardens-and do not know that I like either of them quite as much as some of those in The Children of the Night But he certainly has got the real spirit of poetry in him. Whether he can make it come out I am not quite sure.
 Prince Louis of Battenburg has been here and I have been very much pleased with him. He is really good admiral, and in addition he is a yell read and cultivated man and it was charming to talk to him. We had him and his nephew. Prince Alexander, a to lunch alone with us, and we really enjoyed having them At the state dinner he sat between me and Bonaparte. and I could not help smiling to myself in thinking that here was this British admiral seated be- side the American Secretary of the Navy being the granddaughter of Ma poleon and the grandson of Jerome, king of Westphalia; while the British admiral was the grandson of a Hes sian general who was the subject of King Jerome and served under Ma paleon, and then. by no means cred itabIy, deserted him in the middle of the battle of Leipsic.
 I am off to vote tonight.

 The movement for a referendum of the college sentiment of the country concerning the peace treaty. is coming westward. The committee which is heading the movement is composed of: F. T. Benedict, editor-in- chief Colum- bia Spectator; John Harland, chairman Daily Princetonian; Breton Hadden, chairman Yale Daily News, and Fair field Workum, president Harvard Crimson. They have sent the follow ing message to the University Of Art- zona:
 ..The plan is that on January 13. every college and university in the country will be asked to take a vote of its faculty and student body. in which each member of the college com n1unity will be asked to declare him. self yes or no on the proposition:
 -sI favor the ratification of the league and treaty without amendments or reservations.
 ''I am opposed to the ratification of the league and treaty in any form.
 "I am in favor of the ratification of the league and treaty but only with the specific reservations as voted by the majority of the senate.
 T favor compromise on the reser- vation which will make possible imme diate ratification of the treaty and league.
 Tt is urged that the utmost discus sion of the situation should be stimu- lated in your institution, and if possible hold mass meetings at which the diff ferent points of view will be presented.
 'It is planned that the vote shall be conducted under such safeguards as may be established in each institution to secure accuracy and completeness. and that the result shall be made known locally at once and telegraphed to the committee headquarters where results for the whole country will be compiled and made public
 President von KleinSmid says that in all probability the plan will be car ried out by the University as sug- gested above.

Novels and Games

I sympathize with every word you say in your letter, about Nicholas Nickelby. and about novels generally. Normally I only care for a novel if the ending is good, and quite agree with you that if the hero has to die he ought to die worthily and nobly, so that our sorrow at the tragedy shall be tempered with the joy and pride

 Since James Tong leaves today. as representative of the university and of Arizona, for Oxford, England" said Dr. von KleinSmid in assembly Wednesday morning." il seems an appropriate time to explain the scholarship. which on the whole is felt to be somewhat of Q disappointment as far as the United States is concerned. Only about half of the United States candidates have been able to stay, to pass the examina-s tions, and England is beginning to sus- pect that either there is something the matter with American students or with the Rhodes trust conditions.
 sI am sure that the matter of the scholarship is not understood by the studentsNof America. The idea that it is to help those who cannot stay in school without it is erroneous. The

 Incidents of a Southern Trip
 White House, Nov. l. 1905. DEAR KERMIT:
 I had a great time in the south. and it was very nice indeed having Mir. John McIihenny and MT. John Green way with me. of course l enjoyed most the three days when mother was there. But I was so well received and had so }hany things to say which l was really glad to say. that the whole trip was a success When I left New Orleans on the little lighthouse tender To go down to the gulf where the big warship was awaiting me, We had a collision. l was standing up at ie time and the shock pitched me Tor ward so that I dove right through the window taking the glass all out ex- cept a jagged rim round the very edge. But I went through so quickly that I received only some minute scratches on my face and hands which however. bled pretty freely. I was very glad to come up the coast on the squadron of great armored cruisers.
 In the gulf the weather was hot and calm. but soon after rounding Florida and heading northward we ran into a gale. Admiral Brownson is q reg ular little gamecock and he drove the vessels to their limit. It was great fun to see the huge warcraft pounding steadily into the gale and forging on ward through the pillows. Some of the waves were so high that the water came green over the flying bridge for ward. and some of the officers were thrown down and badly bruised. One of the other ships lost a man overheard and although we hunted for him an hour and a half we could not get him. and had a boat smashed in the en- deaVor.
 When I got back here I found sister, very interesting about her eastern trip. She has had great time, and what is more. she has behaved mighty well under rather trying circumstances. Ethel was a dear as always and the two little boys were as cunning as possible. Sister had brought them some very small Japanese fencing armor. which they had of course put on with glee. and were clumsily fenc- ing with wodden two handed swords. And they had also rigged up in the dark grewsome man with pump kin head, which I was ushered in to see. and in addition to the regular eyes, nose, and sawtooth mouth. Archie had carved in the back of the pumD-
