Champ Clark’s houn’ dawg receiv- ed an awful boot on the twenty-ninth ballot Monday afternoon. From then on, it was kicked around somethin’ scandalous. Credit Professor Dyer. University week has come and gone. The report of the committee says that it is a little more than ev- en in its finances so that the week was a financial as well as an educa- tional success. The credit for this fact belongs to one man in particu- lar—Professor Dyer. Professor Dyer was not chairman of the committee which was given charge of University week and only assumed charge after the regular chairman had been called out of town and was unable to serve. The help he received was centered largely in a few individuals and he was forced to depend mainly on his own efforts. He even went so far as to give his vacation time to the work of the week. Professor Dyer deserves a lot of credit. He worked hard and faith- fully with no hope of personal re- ward or financial gain when the out- look was -dark, he never lost faith. Without his efforts, the Commercial club might have been forced to dip into its treasury to pay the Univer- sity. The week was excellent educa- tionally; that it broke even financial- ly gives an increased satistaction. THIS IS MY 59th BIRTHDAY. Frederick T. Gates. Rev. Frederick T. Gates, who is husiness manager in charge of the behests of John D. Rockefeller in the cause of charity and philanthropy, was born in Broowme County, New York., July 2, 1853, He was gradu- ated from the University of Roches- terin 1877 and from the Rochester Theclogical Seminary three years la- ter. After his ordination to the Bap- t minister he was pastor for some wears of the Central church in Min- reapolis. lie quit the pulpit in 1888 to become corresponding secretary of *ie American Baptist Educational so- ciety. In 1890 Mr. Gates solicited the financial aid of Mr. Rockefeller in behalf of the University of Chica- go, which at that time was a Bap- tist educational institution. Mr. Rockefeller gave millions to the uni- versity and later engaged Mr. Gates to investigate other demands on his benevolence and decide which were worthy. Since that time Mr. Gates has supervised the giving away of many millions of the Rockefeller wealth. Congratulations to: Sir Charles Tupper, Canada’s “Grand O1d Man,” ninety-one years old today.

Rat-Catching 'Woaodchuck. A pet woodchuck :at the home of|’ Jobnnie Hughes of Cascade, Pa., catches mice and rats with the suc- cess and agility ¢f a cat. It was its association with a cat that taught the chuck to become 2 “ratter:” The-eye of the animal and its scent appear to be more acute tham even a cat’s. It will lfe for half an hour at a rat:hole and walit for the rat to appear. It is gZeneraly sure death to the rat when the chuck makes a dive. Snowstorms in July. Early in July there occurred smow- storms in certain very warm regions, notably about Mount Etna, which at this time begins to scatter the accu- mulation of snow which that volcano has conserved during the winter. The crater of Etna is 3,279 meters in height, and during the winter months the snow packs into the crevices of the mountain, to be driven out by the summer winds. Busy Day for Splicers. The fancy of the young people of Austria turns to thoughts of matri- mony at carnival time, and carntval Sunday—Fasching Sonntag—is usually & busy day for those who tle the matrimonial knot.

About the sanest philosophy any ‘woman ean have is to aim to make the most of each day as it comes along and not borrow trouble from the fu. ture or bemoan the regretful past. Ga through each day with a determina: tion to make it just as useful, helpful and cheerful as possible. If you live out this belief your life cannot help but be successful. Terrifying Threat. Two Georgia darkies were guarrel ing on a railroad platform. “You bet ter go 'way from me, nigger!” said tke larger of the two; “’cause ef 1 starts in on you, about this time day after tomorrow the sexton of the col ored cemetery is gwine to be pattin' you In the face with a spade!”—Satur day Evening Post, A Tub Secret. Filling the bath tub sometimes makes more noise than we like, es- peclally late at night or early in the morning.

Gen, Horace Porter was giving an illustration of every-day diplomacy aft er having compared it with world diplomacy. “We will say, for in- stance,” he observed, “that our every- day wiseacre is introduced to a man from Iowa. He talks corn with him. He meets a man frem Boston and talks beans. Should he happen to be thrown in the company of a man from Iowa and of a man from Boston, he would discuss succotash.” Thomas’ Meihod. ‘Theodore Thomas was once asked how he managed to impart such vital- ity and lightness to his orchestra’s Playing ‘ol the Strauss’ waltzes, ' His answer was: “Have you ever noticed that I always beat the first stroke of the rhythm up instead of down? You cannot put the life and continuous mo- tion of the dance into & plece of music if you knock the poor tune down at the beginning of every measure.” Whole Hog or None. “Whole hog or none” refers to the alleged custom of Mahomet to allow his followers to eat all except one portion of a pig, which portion, how- ever, was not specified. The resuilt therefore was that if a Mahometan did not wholly avold the use of pork he might as well run the risk of con- suming the whole hog as to eat any porticn thereof. —_——— New York’s Seal. The figures on the seal of the city of New York refer to the trades in which the early settlers engaged. The beavers were used as early as 1645, for the trade in beaver skins was an Important industry from the colony’s beginning. In 1686 the flour trade had become important also, so the wind- | mills and barrels were added to typi- ty that occupation. Sly Gent. A mnegro who was suspected of sur- reptitiously meddling with his neigh- bor’s fruit, being caught in.a garden by moonlight, nonplussed his de- tectors by raising his eyes, clasping his hands, and piously exclaiming: “Good Lord, dis yere darkey can’t go nowhere to pray any more widout bein’ ’sturbed.” Three More Rs.
