FATHER OF THIRTY (National News Association) Parts, June 17. A farmer of Saint Usages. In the Department of Saonect Loire, has just celebrated the baptism of his thirtieth child. The man hat been married three times and has had seventeen sons and thirteen daughters, twenty-two of the children being alive. He states that he ropes to be blessed w ith more chiltren. - ' ,
The "Dead Language" Complaints and criticism come readily to tongue, having an occasion furnished for themt however ill founded they may be. But the pleasanter things of life the continued blessings of friendship, sunshine, health, all seem to require the final act of takfng away to merit the attention of human kind. A man ia shortly to leave this community whose absence will be the measure of his presence as a tile from a mosaic pavement is valued the more highly when the perfect jointure which rendered it unobstrusive, is broken. In these modern days it is held of little account that any intelligent man of force shall take up the profession of teaching. At the same time it is the fashion to scorn all the places of learning because men of brains and vital energy do not abide in those places. And as for the teacher of the classics Latin and Greek! Ancient history and archaeology! The very mention of the names brings forth the scoffing herd.
Some years ago Cleveland King Chase came to this town a stranger. He came to be the professor of the classics In Earlham College. At that time the study of Greek and Latin brought up the mental, picture of a caif bound dictionary, musty, filled with chalk dust with the cover disintegrating not from use, but from the decay of the elements. It was a two-fold marvel to thofe who marked hia entrance that any one filled with vigor and enthusiasm shouli take the chair of the classics and on the other hand that any one filled with the knowledge of dead languages should have any points of contact with the outside world. This for a little while and then the overshadowing of human events and the entrance was lost sight of.
It may not be amiss to recall that at that period of the Earlham situation there was hardly a point of contact with the town of Richmond. Now that the situation has entirely changed, it will do only good to mention it. Shortly before that time, alRo, Earlham was scarcely on terras with the outside world young men and women were turning their faces toward other places of learning. Now it is different. There is not an institution in the state that stands higher In scholarship; nor has there been a time wnen the community has been in closer touch with Earlham. And if the physical improvements to the college have helped; if the work of President Kelly has been increasingly progressive such as to merit his recent reappointment to the State Board of Education by way of recognition; If William N. Trueblood is more widely known as an untramnielcd and original thinker beloved by all that know him It shou'd not be overlooked that the standing of the college not alone in Indiana, but In the East, has risen because of the Insistence of Professor Cleveland Chase on maintaining a high standard of tho classics at Earlham at a time when more than any other the college needed a strong department to keep its standard. For the college due to the life work of Moore, tho pupil of Agassiz and Dennis who took up the work was well known throughout the country In tho department of science. The danger to the college curriculum was In truth from the very strength of the newly developed biological work. And so while other colleges were floundering In the marshes, Earlham had come safely out of the morass of indecision. A man less strong at the head of the department of tho classics would not have seen the issue and met it. That work has been well done.
And in tho college itself, Roman and Greek times took on a different aspect. The social unrest of the Latin Republic began to be paralleled in the morning newspaper. Caesar and Augustus lived again. The awak-. ening of Japan and Asia for the Asiatics was not very different from the Oermanla of Tacitus. The profligacy of the Roman youths not far from the Four Hundred, the Croesus turned out to be a Harriman or a Morgan, and the Caesar not a different man than Napoleon or Diaz. The mobs that howled in Rome was not different than Ellis Island and the spawn that flows through Astor Place, New York, at seven in the morning. Nor was the chariot race in the Coliseum so very different from the affairs which we have lately seen on the Speedway. This is what came to those who wrestled with the gerundive and the ablative.
Was there any place in the college that the straight truth of the crisis of America was taught more directly? And what is more vital to America today? This, mind you, from a course in "dead languages." This was a progressive an insurgent course. And there are those who saw no farther than the credits and the labor but they are not those who did not take the course.
If this point is dwelt on it Is because Earlham haa become the most progressive college In the state. Purdue is progressive from the very nature of the things it works in. But if a course in Latin and Greek can drive home the great fundamental facts of the weaknesses of our American civilization, what may we not expect from the other courses in Earlham. That, too,, is on its way.
Tonight will be given "Robin Hood" at the Gennett theater. The work Is that of Chase. It is the product of his untiring energy. It is a translation of Greek models into modern English. The Greeks knew how to live the philosophies of the Greeks were not different from the codes of modern Intelligence. Their abundant enthusiasm, their frailties and their love of action were not far from American in many particulars, save in their love of beauty. If Professor Chase has taken his place In the musical and artistic life of the town as well as in standing watch at election booths, of appearing with his fellows of the West Side Association in the wrangles over assessments and traction brawls, street improvements, park improvements and the vital concerns of his immediate community it is more than many a man who has been born and bred in the town has done.
We should not feel that it were a good thing to dwell on the work of this one man if it could be said that any selfish motive prompted him. But the idea of special privilege and greed never entered this man's heart and his work has always cost him more than he has received much less asked for he asked nothing. At a time when Earlham is getting on its feet for a new life It seems particularly appropriate that these things should be said that the balance of friendship and appreciation be kept more even. If good came out of the despised classics what does It mean? It means more than an appreciation of Cleveland Chase, Professor of Latin In Earlham college. Ills dues in the eyes of the material world have been paid by being asked to go to another place! If the Earlham debt were paid off there would be less question of keeping all the valuable men and acquiring the best to help them. The reward would not be In distant fields.

THE TAXPAYER'S LAMENT. They took a little gravel, and they took a little tar, With various ingredients imported from afar. They hammered it and rolled, and when they went away. They said they had a pavement that would last for many a day. But they came with picks and smote It to lay a water main; And in time they called the workmen to put it back again. To run a railway cable they took it up once more; And, later, put it back again, just where it was before. They took it up for conduits to run the telephone; And then they put it back again, as hard as any stone. They took it up for wires to feed the 'lectric light, And then they put it back again, which was no more than right. To lay a public service pipe, they took it up once more; Now the whole town is up in arms and every man is sore. Oh, the pavement's full of furrows; there are patches everywhere; You'd like to ride upon it, but it's seldom that you dare. It's a very handsome pavement, a credit to the town; They're always digging of it up, or putting of it down. B. J. Hinkebein.

"Let me tack that feather back out of your eyes." "Oh, no, mother. I want it that way so I can see it myself. Most always only other people can see the feathers on my hats." Judge.

DISPEL DELUSIONS BY REMOVING BRAIN New Haven, Conn., June 17. For several months the life of Mrs. M. M. Bard, of Cleveland, Ohio,- w ho is visiting her sister, Mrs. George Junglass, here, has been threatened by peculiar mental and nervous attacks. Now, thanks to a rare and delicate operation performed, consisting of the removal of a portion of the skull and a diseased section of the brain upon which the fragment of bone had been pressing, the woman is well and healthy. Mrs. Bard had a fall a few months ago w hich jarred her head and produced severe headaches, but it was not taken seriously. Soon afterward, however, she began to act peculiarly, sitting for hours at the piano playing all sorts of discords. She could not look at bodies of water without paroxysms of fear. After the operation all her delusions were gone.

Oak Trees. To extend the life of one really fine old oak tree who would not willingly cut down whole groups of other trees? How infinitely greater is the Incentive when one considers a group ot titan oaks, lofty, wide spreading, ruggedly picturesque, with " vigor unimpaired and grandeur increasing for centuries. Nursery grown oaks frequently transplanted and properly pruned are not difficult to establish. Their rapidity of growth is really on an average with that of most other trees. They should be pruned severely before planting. Suburbanite.
WHAT OTHERS SAY
NEW YORK LOAN SHARKS. From the New York Times. Every "loan shark" In this city who has been lending money to its employes has been summoned to Commission
er or Accounts Fosdick s office to
show his books an dto reveal every detail of his business with those whose salaries from the city are mortgaged.
It is estimated that over one-third of the policemen and firemen and a large percentage of. municipal clerks and teachers in the public schools
have had unfortunate dealings with the advertisers of loans upon chattel securities.
REMOVE THE BILLBOARDS. From the Denver Times.
Since Denver is in the business ot making itself the most beautiful city
in America, we might as well be consistent about it. Of what benefit will the civic center be in impressing visitors with the good taste of this city so long as there are tiers upon tiers of unsightly billboards within a stone's throw of the civic center?
HIGH IDEALS, It has been said that one cannot rise above one's ideals. How important, then, that children should nave p'aced before them, and one cannot begin too soon, high ideals of self reliance, helpfulness, excellence and never for an instant be satisfied with inferiority and mediocrity.
