Ha thought his education was completo when he left college. He regarded Ids diploma as an insurance policy against failure. His mind was clogged with theories and Impractical facts. Ho mistook a stuffed memory for an education, knowledge for power, and scholarship for mastership. Ho know languages and sciences, but was ignorant of human nature. He knew Latin and Greek, but could not make out a bill of goods or a bill of sale. He was well posted in political economy, but he could not write a decent business letter. His four years In the world of books left him permanently out of joint with the world uf practical affairs. He was above beginning at tho foot of the ladder when ho left college. The stamina of the vigorous, ind pendent mind lie had brought from tho farm and was lost in academic refinement. Ho thought that his four years' college course had placed him immeasurably above those who had not had that advantage. Ho had never assimilated what he learned and was crippled by mental dyspepsia. Tho habit of discriminating minuatly, weighing, balancing and considering ull sides of a subject, destroyed his power of prompt decision. He thought that the world would be Bt his feet when ho left college, and made no effort to win its favor. He could not digest his knowledge. He knew enough, but could not manage it effectively could not transmute his knowledge into praetloul power. O. S. Mardeu in. Success Magazine. the iuui.e as uTEu.mnr, Mr. William Lyon Phelps, who occupies the chair in English at Yale college, is certainly a versatile gentleman in his scholastic domain. Ho recently expressed 1 egret that tho public had eo vigorously opposed his making the study of fiction a separate course in English; that he had felt it best to drop It nfter a single year's trial. He now appears with a suggestion that the college entrance examination in English should be simply from the Bible, which, he says, "has within Its pages every single kind of literature that any propose,! list of English classics contains." If Prof. Phelps has made a mistake In either of Ids suggestions. It has been in their exeluslvenoss. There is no reason why fiction and the Bible nlso should not be a part of every English course. Indeed, they must be, if it is at all complete. But there is no reason for a course conih.od wholly to the study of cither. Also, there is no reason why the Bible" should not have a place in every college entrance examination, but no reason for narrowing it to that book f xelusively. Ignorance of the Bible merely as literature in a college student is educational wickedness. No person who is not familiar with Biblical style, with its characters, its teaching, its place in history, in morals r.nd religions, its wealth of image v and figures can claim any considerable proficiency in English. It is in style the most admirable and finished product of our language, and most of the great orators and writers of England and America owe the purity, the beauty and the clearness of their diction, to its study. Vioi. Phelps can do no greater ser-

vice to his students than to encourage its study and to make a knowledge of it as literature compulsory in his English courses. Duluth News-Tribune.

MAX "WILL 11. Y. If there Is anything in patience and perseverance man is going to liy. The efforts to construct workable Hying machines are very widespread, and the tests indicate that the solution uf the problem is being m-ared.

A model for a machine that has not yet been built is attracting attention at Brussels. It resembles a gigantic bee, or rather a wasp, with wings serving the puriio.se of aeroplanes. It is propelled by motors. There, are also some interesting experiments in progress for testing the propeller as a motive power in air. A boat driven by aerial propellers. Invented by an Italian, is said to have rearhed a speed of forty miles an hour. An air-propelled motorcycle invented in France has reached a speed of forty-nine miles an hour. It Is very probable that the key to the problem of aerial navigation will soon be found, and then the development will be as rapid as it has been In eleet r i c a 1 transportation.

The case will fail for want of evidence, unless, indeed, it can be proven on tho poor fellow that he was trying to swap space for political favors. The charge that an editor was using his money is preposterous on its face. Starke County Republican. Al TOMOHII.IN'G. It is in all probability the grandest sport in the world when practiced in a spirit of honor and decency. To ride beside such a driver as Cap Wobeke is a revelation. One trip in his companyis sufficient to kill all the prejudices of the worst enemy of nutomobiling. We were going along a country road some forty-five miles an hour, when a girl babv of three years toddled out direct ly in our path. Without bustle or ex citement Cap slowed down. The big machine simply died in its tracks, jus like a lump of butter melting. No jerk ing, no emergency brakes, no reversing ot engines, no tossing forward or pas sengers. When "she'' came to a dead stop tho babv was within two feet of the front wheel. "Hello, little girl," said Cap: "how long you going to play in the road? Ha vine: a good time?" The other day Cap Wobeko made tho fastest drive that has yet been made from Lakewood to New York. There were eight people in his car and at times the speed exceeded seventy-sev en miles an hour. The road from Lake wood to Newark is as tine as the shell road of the Nevis or that along th Riviera. obeke, by the way, used to be a Wall street man. He made and lost fortunes. New York Press.

On prise the proposition of private enter doing the work of carrying th. mail the Ohiengo Journal says The postotMce department is managed with reckless extravagance, such as would not bo tolerated for a single day by private enterprise, it carries adver tising matter in enormous quantities at a great loss, at the request of a pow erf ul lobby, and charges the .people twice as much as is actually neevssa for the transportation of letters. It is robbed unmercifully by the railroads. It has had nine postmaster-generals within the past twenty years, none of them experience in the work and many of them absolutely incapable of transacting tho departments's business. The department as a whole is preposterously mismanaged. And yet public opinion would not consent to allowing the department to be conducted by individuals, however costly and inefficient conduct by politicians may be.

WE BUNCO FOR

- EAST CHICAGO Faulty Specifications Leave Loophole for Unjustified OGAL EDITORS ARE ANGRY Torthern Indianian Gets Contract for Publishing Auditor's Report; Bill May be Held Up. The East Chicago city council had one of its Interesting sessions which are the rule, last niarht and certair.lv fulfllled what has crown to be the ex pectation to have a change of pro gram every two weeks. After the usual routine of business had been disposed of two very tiekelish questions were brought to the atten tion of the councilmen and discussed pro and con all evening in a half humerous and half serious manner. The lirst was another case of East Chicago being bunkoed. When the specifications for the paving of Com monwealth evenue and Washington street were drawn they indicated that Commonwealth avenue was to be paved to Washington street and Washington street was to be paved to Commonwealth. The contractor claims that in estimating tho cost of paving these streets, he took the specifications literally and did not take into consideration the square of pavement that would have to be put In at the intersection of these stret. The same was true ot the intersection of Washington. Guth rie, Cedar, and 13'th streets, which all come together in a peculiar criss cross and Cedar and 137th. The contractor claims that he will not nav these three intersections unless the council agrees to pay him extra for it, and the council has decided to see if a cornnromise can not be effected. Lauh On Council. The laugh is on the council and the city engineer for not having the speci fications state specifically that the pav ing of one street or the other must extend to the opposite curb of the street with which it intersects. The other matter concerned the let ting of the contract for tho publishing of the auditors' report. It developed that the finance- committee asked for bids from W. W. Moberly of the Indiana Harbor Sentinel and George Brown of the East Chicago Globe, on the printing of 300 copies of the report and then let the contract to the Northern Indian ian for $25, before either of the East Chicago papers knew what was being done. There is no objection to the price which was very low..' but the editors of the East Chicago papers objected to being asked to bid on the job over the phone and also to the haste with which tho contract was awarded to an out side newspaper without giving other bidders a chance to figure closer. Editor Brown addressed the council and claimed when he was called up over the phone he thought he was bidding on another job and bid $125, when the others were bidding $23. Aldermen Stand O'Girr and Lewis then Pat. attempted to Lewis in dedefend their action, and fense of his letting the contract said that the city was not supporting the editors of East Chicago papers and that he believed in accepting the lowest bid no matter where It came from mere promises to tie a merry war between the editor of the Northern In dlanian and the editors of the two East Chicago papers, and one of the first moves that will be mado will be a de mand upon the council that the bill be not allowed for the reason that the Northern Indianian printed the report as a news item under a sensational head in which former officials are characterized as grafters, instead of as a formal official report. STAGGER STATISTIC EDITOR. Overwhelming Array of Figures Turned Over by Railroad Coniml-sniou. Indianapolis, Dec 4. Figures that stagger are submitted to Governor Hanly in the report of the railroad commission that has been turned over to him. The railroads that reported to the commission reported that for the year ending June 30, 1906, they carried over their entire line, 336,049,460 tons of freight and 113,934,754 passengers. The average freight rate per ton per mile ranges from 3.09 cents in the case of the Chicago, Indiana & Eastern, which is the highest to .43 of one cent In tho case of the Chicago & Erie, the lowest. The principal amount of the traffic was carried by other lines at rates between that received by the Erie and .72 of one cent received by other lines. The highest rate received per passenger per mile, is 4.54 cents in case of the Louisville, New Albany & Corydon, while the lowest is l.H cents per passenger per mile received by the Grand Trunk Western. HAMMOND MARRIAGE BROKEN. Husband Telia Wife That Marriages Performed Here are Void. Chicago, Dec. 4. "Indiana marriages are not legal, and so you are not my wife," John Andrews is said to have remarked to Edith B. Andrews three months after their marriage, which was celebrated last June in Hammond, Ind. Mrs. Andrews began suit for divorce yesterday, alleging that her husband had deserted her and married another woman. "I think the man was a fool." said William E. Furness, attorney for Mrs. Andrews. "He said all marriages celebrated at Hammond, Ind., several thousand of them, were illegal. He also told me he had married another woman.''

Latest Movements in Industrial Centers, by Exclusive

NEW YORK LETTEn, New York, Dec. 4. Stocks started the day off strong and higher in sym pathy with higher prices lor American j shares in London and absence of sell- j ing pressure. The leaders were the same as yesterday. New York Central continued its upward movement, opening at 131 and selling up to lob. The news was a rehash of yesterday, that is the stock would be put upon a six per cent basis at the next regular meeting of the directors. St. Paul, Union Pacific, Reading, Atchison, Baltimore & Ohio, Louisville & Nashville and Missouri Pacific were all fractionally higher in the early trading. But irregularity seemed to predominate in the market, where one particular stock was strong and advancing, another was weak and declining. St. Paul sold off two and one-half from the high prices obtaining early. Reading also declined from 149 to 147. Fnion Pacific from ISSVi down to 186. The selling was on a very liberal scale and it looked as if some one was willing to reap the handsome profits In these stocks that have been so strong of ,late. The president's message was read in congress today. As usual when congress opens, the American Sugar companies shares begin to get active on th stock exchange. Today was no exception to the general rule. There was more trade in these shares after noon today than there has been in two months. Tho market opened at 134 and sold up to 137 'i, closing at the highest price of the day. The buying was excellent in quality and it eman ated from houses with ashington connections. The market closed extremely irregular with losses in one-quarter and gains in others. NEW YORK STOCK Descpt. Atchison . Atch. pfd Am. Sugar Am. Car .

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, Dec. 4. WHEAT. Strong and higher all during the session. The news as a rule was bullish. Russia reported reported their stocks of contract wheat decreasing rapidly; Liverpool markets one-quarter higher. The short interest in the December option has become so unwledy that a good part of it was made to cover on the advance today. Cash situation is re ported good although sales to exporterss today were only 30,000 bushel More activity was apparent in this market today than for some time. The close was strong with an advance of for the May future and about a cent for the December. CORN eak early, cut later re gained the entire loss. There was quite a little selling of the December future based on more liberal offerings of new corn from farmers. The cash market, however, was strong and high er. It was reported that an advance of two to three cents a bushel was scored in the sampel market for the best grades of old corn. The market closed steady to firm. OATS Fallowed the corn market closely, weak early, later showing some

According to a member of the Kngllsh public. It is quite an unnecessary article, and man may be kept clean with plain water. Nations have risen to great ness without soap. Ancient Rome, our old familiar companion, Rome, knew nothing of soap until she came in contact with the Germans and the Gauls, who used it to brighten the color of the hair. Onco or twice soap is mentioned in the Old Testament, but it doesn't mean the oily substanca that it is today. Painful as it is for Americans who have lived in England to admit, it would bo tetter for general comfort if more soap was used there. Thus, instead of advancing Its cost, let it be lessened and so place the cleansing articla within the reach of all. But the new soap combine doesn't view the situation in that light precisely. It takes the caka and the public pays. For Young Man's Guidance. The best ru!e3 to form a young man are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that daserve it. Sir W. Temple.
