As a ..r ji- Kiinp was a man of power, but Ms best work has been for the mi u uf W a bush, and for the college itself. Ills character Impressed Itself on the Institution and the young men who attended it. During his presidency the college has become prominently known as a school of the very highest standing ho emphasized Its right to recognition. Wabash col lege has a reputation for turning out men real men of high ideals and the inspirational leadership of Dr Kano has been evident to all friends of the institution. Indiana has lost leading educator, Wabash college has lost a true leader, and the young men of the school have lost a staunch friend and wise advisor. Lafayette Journal. 11 ECEM E A Li A S S 1 31 1 L ATI ON". The Porto Riean, who so long has been neither flesh, fish, nor good red herring, but merely a "citizen of Porto Rico, and as such entitled to the pro tection of the United States," must re joice that the word of the president Is eo soon to be followed by the deed The special message which the president Is preparing, asking congress to confer United States citizenship upon the Porto Rleans, is the best earnest that his recent promise to the Island ers was based on something more tiian semi-tropical courtesy. AVe need not fear that we shall give the Porto liicans overmuch If we con fer United States citizenship upon them. Their condition will still be In certain respects anomalous. They will obtain none of tho rights that flow from state citizenship as such. He would be a bold prophet who should suggest that the rights of the Porto Rlcan citizen of the United States would be even as great as those of" a citizen of the United States residing in one of the "incorporated territories, " such as Arizona or New Mexico. The supreme court has given Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines the "unincorporated territories," such a queer character that they must long remam in the puzzle column, where one man's guess as to what they are or are not is as good as another's. If you make a Porto Rican a citizen, do you thereby Incorporate his front yard? Does the constitution follow citizenship any more than it does the flag? The doctors should be in great glee. What a field for glorious dispute will the piecemeal propaganda open to them! New York Globe. N riW KIND OP WITNESS. Michigan courts have been called on to guttle just how much, noise ia neees-

sary to depreciate the value of house property, arid the supreme court Judges have admitted the evidence supplied by a phonograph in support of the- contention of the plaintiff. A hotel-kyop-, or at Iloyne City took his phonograph

to court, with records of engine tootrigs and car rattilngs to prove that the presence of a railway near his property was a nuisance, and the judge ruh-,1 that the introduction of the hoiiograph was permissible if the au thenticity of the records were established. On the contention that "the apparatus cannot lie," a phonograph may become a valued witness in cor poration. London Advertiser. Condo and Capital Punishment. Representative Condo -declares that with the aid of Governor Hanly lie will be able to secure the pussaKa of a bill abolishing' the death penalty in Indiana. The Honorable Condo is likey to rind, however, that a majority of the legislators are of ore mind with that Kentucky statesman who declared several years ago when a similar bill was pending in the blue grass state: Capital punishment, sir, was good enough for my ancestors and its good enougli for me'." Fort Wayno News. The Reason. Casey Oi wonder why Thanksgiving day comes in November. Doolan Shure! the butcher fixes thot. Thot's the toime turkeys costs the most. Brooklyn Life. Fee and Foe. In a suit recently tried in Virginia town a young lawyer of limited experi ence was addressing the Jury on a point of law, when, good-naturedly, he turned to opposing council, a man of much mora experience than himself, and asked: "That's right, I believe, Colonel Hop kins?" Whereupon Hopkins, with a smile of conscious superiority, replied: "Sir, I have an office in Richmond wherein I shall be delighted to en lighten you on any point of law for a consideration." The youthful attorney, not in the least abashed, took from his pocket a half-dollar piece, which ho offered Col. Hopkins with this remark: "No time like the present. Take this, sir, tell us what you know, and give me the change." Harper's Weekly. Deliver the Goods. Wherever tills expression "Deliver the Goods" may have originated, it is one that ia both apt and forceful. It Is true that the business world will always have a place for the man who can deliver the goods." This delivering tho goods seems an easy thing to do, yet business men are still clamoring for more men who can undertake respon sibilities and successfully carry out the undertakings. The only way, for there is but one way to avoid that haunting fear of misfortune is to prepare our selves so that when the time comes Ave may be able to deliver the goods. For this there Is no time so auspicious as the present. The qualification of be ing able to deliver the goods implies a vast field of general repairing, rebuilding, and refurnishing of the hu man machine. In fact, it means that he who will succeed, must undergo a sort of physical, moral, and lnteileetal reform, regeneration or conversion that is in itself a task most difficult, yet not too difficult, for tho weakest of men.The Mirror. ROUTINE ON TIIE STAGE. Does the constant portrayal of the same character day after day for more than a year cause a player to lose in terest in the character which is neces sary for a successful .and harmonious production? Edmund Breese, who has appeared in the role of "Ready Money Ryder" in "The Lion and the Mouse" at the Lyceum theatre approximately, has this to say: "The tendency Is to become careless in one's work after weeks and months of repetition. The danger lies in giv ing way to this tendency, for once it grips you it Is very difficult to con nuer. I have never allowed myself the luxury of being careless or lazy. Th erms are practically similar. Careless ness is the da-nger signal that you arc relaxing in that constant vigilance which ia your safeguard. If it attacks you, hard work and much of It, is your only defense. That is my remedy. Monotony? There should be no such word in the player's vocabulary. Its recognition would be fatal to good work. The things I find that tend to distract me after a certain time, during which I have been playing the same character, are the unexpected introduc tion of somo new piece of business the wearing of a new garment by one of the company, or a sudden noise These things, trivial though they seem catch my Instant attention, assuming gigantic proportions, particularly at ; time when every nerve is tense am the emotions keenly alive. Unless I'm on mv guard, I am apt to lapse. It i.a case, if you will allow nie to para phrase an old adage, of constant vigi lance being the price of success the price of the player's success. AMEIUCAN GIRL. RESET I1V DANGERS Dangers which beset a young woma who goes to Europe to study art might seem to bo an odd subject for a con sular report, which should, according to popular belief, be devoted to in struetions on the best methods of sell Ing typewriters or chilled plows. Ye Consul J. E. Dunning writes to the De partment of Labor and Commerce t warn American girl3 against the pit falls in the path of those who go to Milan, the center of the world's mush to perfect themselves in that art. Hi words no doubt have some application to students of other arts in other E ropean cities. In the course of his re port, he says: "The consul's first advice to tl American girt considering a course in music instruction abroad is, don't come. If she persists in coming In spite of that, she should give some serious consideration tl the counsel of those, who, being on the ground and viewing it Impartially, can tell her something to her advantage." First, he says, the girl should be sure of her voice, and then she should learn enough Italian to. make herself understood. "Tha student should learn before

sailing, the names of Italian families who are wiliing to take American singers as 'boarders.' It Is very diffi

cult to get into an Italian family of the first class or even of the middle class just as difficult as it would be for an Italian girl to do the same thing j In the United States. Care must be used on both sides. "There is a local prejudice in Milan against singers and students, and in the mind of the newcomer there ia an answering1 prejudice and often genuine fear in the presence of strange sur roundings and in a country in which ! had reports has not given a particularly good name among single women. "Nothing could be more unjust. Mi lan is the same in these ways as are I Hot-ton and New York. Practically everything depends upon the girl her self. Allowing for the more or less embarrassing experiences that inevi tably fall on the stranger in a strange land, her comfort when living alone ind going unattended about this great osmopolitan city will depend, as it would depend at home, very largely upon herself. 'If she will mind her own business and remember that most of tho disncerting attention paid to her Is due I to tiie overwhelming curiosity of an otherwise extremely polite and considrate people, she will have no trouble on that score, and if accidents do hap pen, her American common sense will get her out of them." Between Trains THE EDITOR'S LUCK. Those who ask In jest, "why editors are wealthy?" should read this editorial protest from the Mead Globe. "A child is born in the neighbor hood; tho attending physician gets $10. The editor gives the loud-mouthed oungster and the happy parents a send-off and gets $0. When It Is christened the minister gets $10, the litor gets $u0. It grows up and mar ries. The editor publishes another ong-winded article, and tells a dozen lies about the 'beautiful bride,' and the minister gets wheels, 1 new top buggy, 1 new J. I. editor gets $000. In course of time it dies. The doctor gets from $25 to $100, the undertaker gets from $50 to $100, the editor publishes a noice of the death and an obituary two columns long, lodge and society reso lutions, a lot of poetry and a free card of thanks, and gets $0,000. No wonder so many editors get rich." Sorrow. "Ilerr Iluber, come home immediate ly. Your wife has suffocated herself with gas." Iluber "Heavens! There u be a nice gas bill to pay." Wiener Salonwitzblatt. The Place. "Why don't you yet up and give that seat to your father, BODhy.'' repri manded the lady. "Doesn't it pain you to see him reaching for a strap?" "Not on a tram," chuckled Bobby; but it pains ma to see him reaching for a strap at home." London Tit-Bits. Impossible. As a matter of course the four boys who tried to rob a Standard Oil mes senger came to grief. Robbing any of the Standard Oil people is, to say the least, mans work. Washington btar.

"The corporations must be cr-r-ush-ed'." roared the candidate. "Hold on!" shouted a man in the gal lery, "you yourself are a stockholder in at least three corporations that I know about." The candidate frowned darkly. "Weli," he cried, "if there were no stockholders there wouldn't be any cor porations." "I admit it!" shouted the man In the gallery. "And if there, were no corporations they couldn't be crushed, could they?" With a withering glance at the man in the gallery, the candidate resumed his argument. Cleveland Plaindealer.

By DUNCAN M. SKITS ANCESTORS. It'B fine to have an ancestor, A king or pirate only. Who went forth with a fierce mustache And made the high seas lonely, Or even just a robber chief. Who led his force to battle And killed the ones he didn't like And rounded up their cattle. We decorate our humble walls With pictures of thtir features As though they had been pure as enow And very lovely creatures. But, looking at it in the light Of all the circumstances. We'd hate to meet them late at night Alone and take our chances. And had they not been dead and gone For many and many a season. "We'd em-ear they'd have to mend their ways Or we would know the reason. It's all right for an ancestor Perhaps to cut such capers. But in this day I fear they wou'3 Ba roasted by the papers. And yet in spite of every fault And every shady story We like to hang them up that fla May get reflected glory. But still In spite of all our praise, Our proud, puffed up haranguing. They needed, If the truth were told, The other kind of hanging. A Labored" Effort. Tou call that a work of art?" "I certainly do." "I Bee the work all right, but where is the art?" Ready Made Thoughts. A society that proposes to place canned thought on the market la being organized in the west. What we need to develop the race and make it great and powerful is not a thought factory Into which a man might step on his way home and, laying down a quarter, take home a pack age of tinted thought to the loved ones. No indeed. "We should rather encourage men to take thought culture exercises so that they might do a neat line of thinking for themselves. Ready made thought might do in social functions, but for the actualities of life it would hardly be a small boy trying to look over a ten foot board fence. Instead of depending on a trust for our thoughts, let the full grown citizen spend half an hour thinking each morning, being careful not to think loud enough to wake the neighbors. Reckless Extravagance. 4I have Just ordered two tons of coal." "Two tons I What in the world do you want that much for?" "To burn, of course." "You don't mean to tell me you burn coal. I priced some the other day, and I presumed from Its cost that people didn't use it any more except to make Jewelry." Easy For Her. 'Miss Slim rather shocks conserva tive people, doesn't she?" "Yes, but she can't help it." "How is that?" "She is so thin that she slips through the cracks In the veneer of convention ality." Enterprising Promoter. "What are you doing now?" "Promoting the Married Woman'i Protective association." "How does it work?" "Guarantees a hundred dollars per alimony in case of misfit marriages. PERT PARAGRAPHS. A bum job Is often worth more than a good lecture. Your own Interests make your entire change of front quite obvious and mat ter of course, and it looks bo silly and envious of your acquaintances to talk about consistency. We cannot understand why people bent on suicide do not hire some one to tickle them to death. Women talk so much more than men do because they have the men to talk about. Most any, woman can drive a man to drink and she can't keep him from It. Right or wrong, always endeavor to have the law on your side. A man never knows where to begin nor a woman where to quit. Humor Is that quality which makes you able to turn the worst of it into something a little better. People who use religion are respon sible for other pecple haying no use for It

Latest Movements in Industrial Centers, by Exclusive

NEAV YORK LETTER. New York, Dec. 1. Dullness was about the only feature to the stock larket, barring a few spasmodic f.uries here and there in the industrial quarters. Of these, Biscuit, Pressed s-teel common, American Car foundry ind American Locomotive were the lost active. Talk of some kind of a consolidation between these three steel roperties was the rumor on the street. However, there is nothing tangible or uthentie to base the rumors on. Somo traders observed an absence of stock in the these specialties and proceeded bid for them. The result being an idvanee of about a point for Pressed Steel and a point and a half for Car 'oundry. An idea of the dullness which preailed can be had from the fact that ictive stocks like Union Pacilic and St. Paul had a range of one halt a point for the entire session. Another one of the lower priced shares which lias been lying dormant of late, was made active and enjoyed quite a volume of transactions, that was Pacific Mail. In anticipation of congress taking some definite action on the subsidiary bill, and in a measure discounting that action, these shares were bid up from 41 to 43 . The trade in it, however, is not large and few scattered buying orders placed judiciously serve the purpose. The bank statement as a whole was rather disappointing, the loss in the reserve item and the increase in loans was rather unexpected. But as a market factor, it had little or no effect. The market as a whole closed about as it opened, dull and uninteresting. HEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descpt. Atchison Open

The buying which was apparent on the break yesterday was still effective and the opinion prevails that it is for one of the larger elevator houses. The news on the situation was about neutral. Receipts, both In the north and southwest, were larger than last year, but clearances were liberal, especially so for a Saturday. The market closed firm with an advance of about five eights of a cent for the day. Corn: Dull, narrow market. It did not sympathize with the rally in wheat, if anything it had weaker tendency. Cash demand for the old and new crop continues brisk. Receipts are increasing at all markets, but the contract stocks of corn are very small. The market closed steady. Oats Ranged higher on good buying of the investment order. Although the advance was only about a quarter of a cent, it Indicates plainly that cash demand for oats will have a beneficial effect upon speculative prices ultimately. The advance was well held and tiia market closed with a strong tone.

Twenty-seven per cent, money did not put the market down; in fact, for some unknown reason the shorts ran to cover and put up stocks like St. Paul and Union Pacific. Smelters dropped off on an attack by the bears and talk of an investigation by the Garfield commission, but the buying in it was a great deal better than the selling. Atchison was bid up by some of the western houses, especially one big house in Chicago that has very close connections with the insiders in Atchison. They claim the stock Is as good as Union Pacific and is earning as much money as Union did this time two years ago. They will pay six per cent, at next meeting and they have better prospects for ten years than Union Pacific. The latter, however. Is in a wonderful position. The least they can possibly figure that the stock earned is 20 per cent. One party haa it 34 per cent, and one other who proves it by

rovisions,

Wire to Lake Countv Times. figures makes It 57 per cent, for tha yt-ar. The net earnings, or rather nrofit from its Northern Pacific deal Is $73,000,000.
