Choctaws Hold Last Dance. McCurtain, L. T., July 31.—At Siloam, a big 8 few miles from this city, the Choctaw (ndians are holding what will probably be their last annual dance and celebration of | the green-corn festival. j This meeting is termed the “last Indian cry,” because {t is the fare- well “stomp dance” that the Choc- taws will have before the dissolution of the government. There are thousands of Indians as- sembled at Siloam and the meeting will continue until the end of the week. Many of the leaders are there and are making speeches. Hadley Will Help Hinkle.

SCIENCE. ! Oniversity Professors Assert That Married Life Prevents the Proper Application to Study. Eight bachelor professors of Northwestern university faculty re- fuse to agree to Dr. William R. Harper's definition of the ideal college professor. They present strong arguments in favor of the single state of the university in- structor. Three declare they have no contempiation of marriage, viewing married life as detrimental to their suc- cess as instructors. Prof. Alja R. Crook, the most striking example of the “bachelor” professor at the Evanston institution of learning, said: “I do not think professors of science should marry. A scientist is so wrapped up in his work that he has no time to give to the details of married existence. A scientist must give all his attention to his subject if he would be successful. To marry would mean to divorce oneself partially from his science. I believe I have been more successful because of my single state.” Prof. A. V. E. Young, who is dean of the unmarried professors, said: “Dr. Harper’s theory is unsubstanti- ated by the past examples of seholars, In the middle ages a scholar was a re cluse who shut himself up in his monas- tery cell with his books of learning. Not a little of this recluseness must al- ways cling to the teacher and scholar, I believe that domestic life robs a uni- versity professor of much of hisenthusi+ | fered from its unusual number of un- married instructors. Family life ‘s broadening in Its effect on the mind, and yet by this virtue it tends to defeat spe- cialization, which is now a perquisite of the university teacher.” MIND WANDERING A DISEASE. Dr. Harper, of University of Chicago, Freshmen of Misfortune of a Straying Mentality, “The disease of mind wandering” was a phrase used by President Har- other day ina talk to the freshmen about students who naturally appear unable to concentrate their attention on any subject. “By natural endowment there are two classes, the orderly and the mind- wandering,” said the university presi- dent. “Mind wandering is a disease, marked by inability to concentrate at- tention. Some young men and young women come to us able to read elght or ten pages—to really read and keep their minds on the subject—others can read only five, and still others cannot read a page and keep their attention concentrated on the subject. These four men and four women, of whose cases I know, have found it necessary to leave the university on account of this falling. “But it is a habit of mind which can be cured. Every one of you has a will. By exerting your will power you can overcome any leaning toward ming wandering.” Dr. Harper wanted each freshman to do some self analysis, classify himself, and then act to develop himself as the analysis shows need. “One of our }@fessors says he can judge character by handwriting with- out making a mistake,” said Dr. Har- per. “I do not believe that, but you can tell sometiing about character 10 that wan es LIGATNING’S QUEER PRANK. Mirror— Paints Image of Steamer Ph menon Takes PI During Storm on Tennessee River. On an ordinary cirenlar mirror, about two feet in diameter in a screen in a sa- loon in Decatur, Ala., fs the picture ofa large Tennessee river steamer Just how the picture came to be on the mirror is a mystery. The picture can only be accounted for in this way: A few monthsago the mir- ror was taken to Decaturona steamboat from Chattanooga. It was on the lower deck, the face turned toward the water, On the trip a heavy storm raged at night, and the lightning was vivid. During the storm another steamer passed, and just as it was passing a vivid flash of lightning reflected the image of the passing steamer in the glass. It is supposed that the lightning photo- graphed the image of the steamer on the face of the looking glass. The picture was only discovered a few daysago by accident by acustomer. The proprietors did not know of the picture being there before. The picture will not ei or wash off. The picture can only be seen whena person stands at a certain angle from the glass. PRAISE FOR AMERICAN ARMY. Lord Wolseley Says Enginnd Mast Adopt Methods of United States in Recruiting. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, former- ly commander in chief of the British army, has written again in reference to the decline in military recruiting in Great Britain. He reaffirms his belief in the superiority of the army of the United States, saying: “The American government is wiser than ours. They: pay their men well, with the result that the American army, so far as it goes in num- bers, is the finest in the world. Until we adopt a similar method of obtaining recruits our army never will be in a thor- oughly satisfactory state.” Took Greeley'’s Advice.

Employes Receiving Less Who Con- tempiate Matrimony Must First GConsuit Officials—Cost of Liv- ing Figured Out. “Employes of this bank receiving a salary of less than $1,000 a year must not marry without first consulting the bank officials and obtaining their ap- proval.” This is the substance of a notice posted the other day in the Corn Ex- change national bank in Chicago. Otti- cials of that institution backed it up with a statement that it was foolish for a man to attempt in Chicago to support a wife, to say nothing of a family of several children, on less than the income named. They declared that it would require much scrimping to live in a fairly comfortable manner, even with Ubat amount of money. The bank officials satd their action Was not taken Ww discourage matri- mony. They favor the step among those who can alford it, by giving an extra month's salary as a bonus to each employe who marries. Married men are considered by the bank to be more faithful and reliable, as a rule. But the clerk receiving $40 or $50 a month, it is declared, is not in a position to assume family cares in Chicago, More than 200 men are employed by is said that many of those receiving less than $1,000 a year already are married. It is denied that the matri- monial edict will be retroactive. Taking as a basis the assertion of the bank officials that it costs at least $1,000 a year for a man to support a wife even in fairly comfortable circum- stances in Chicago, a man of wide matrimonial experience has figured out the following table of expenses fot a year: Rent and fuel.. Light co Mik Ice ..... Clothin Entertainm is * Chureh or charity und incidentals DOA vecsscrrccscccscesvecsserseceseeeeees The items in the table may be varied, but the expert who compiled it de- clared it would be difficult to squeeze in an item under the “bank savings.” “We issued that order because we belleve it was nonsense for a man to attempt to take care of a wife and fam- ily with an heading oi annual income below President D. A tional bank. “We start young men in as messengers at a small salary, and increase it as they show aptness and ability for the work. Most of them rise rapidly, and are paid accordingly. It would be folly for any to marry be- fore they are able to support a wife. We should feel ourselves partly re- sponsible for any misery which might follow if we approved of such a course.” QUEER INDIANA CONTEST. Four Old Trail Blazers Fell Timber at Hammond for a Bet of Five Hundred Dollars. A novel championship contest took place in Hammond, ind, the other day betw: representatives of four differ- ent states. Four old trail blazers were brought together by Louis Scheer, to de- cide who could cut down the most timber in one hour for a $500 bet. The contestants were Ed McGrath, of Melbourne, Ia.; George Schroeder, of Marinette, Wis.; William Baldwin, of Machinac, Mich., and Peter Schultz, of Schererville, Ind. Otta Morbek, of the Hammond police department, a former champion sheep butcher, was the referee, The four men worked before a large crowd of spectators for one hour and the contest finally settled into one of endurance. Schroeder won the championship and $500 bet, but was barely able to stand when the referee called time. Large sums of money changed hands on the re- sult. Schroeder will meet any man in the world for any sum of money in another contest of the kind. TRAINING FOR MOTHERS. London Women Propose Establish- ment of Schools for Education in Care of Children. An effort is being made by the Wom- en’s Industrial council of England to secure the establishment of schools for training girls in the care of children. At a meeting held recently at the London school board offices, over which Mrs. Creighton presided, a resolution was passed in favor of this project. It was suggested that the training should take place at a day technical school and continue for at least one year. The national importance of training future mothers in the care and manage. ment of children was emphasized by all the speakers, and it was also point- ed out that the position of nurse, filled generally by girls of the industrial class, offered a skilled and well-paid employment to women.
