Livingston Ross Passes Examination

The many friends of Livingßton Ross will be glad to learn that be has successfully passed the preparatory examination necessary to enter the U. 8. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. Some months ago Livingston was notified that be had received the appointment thru Congressman Crumpacker to the naval academy, conditioned upon his being able to pass the required mental and physical examination. His mother, Mrs. Ora B. Ross, at once went with him to Annapolis, where he was placed In a preparatory school, and Mrs. Ross has remained with him since that time. There were some 350 young men in preparation for the entrance examination and there were only 70 of this number received eligible entrance grades at the June examination. Livingston was one of these and his brother Thompson Ross, who has

just returned from Wisconsin Uni- J versity, received a telegram from him Tuesday to the effect that he was one of the successful applicants. . He has yet to pass the physical examination, and he is a rather delicate young man, but during the three or four months he has been at Annap.olis in training he has been educating his muscles as well as his brain and it is practically assured that he will be able to pass the physical requirements and he will be examined in this respect in about two weeks. If he is again successful he will at once be installed as a naval cadet and will be given a four years course in the academy, which is one of the greatest schools in the world. The course embraces a complete course in scientific branches and the is put on pay from the time he enters as a student and upon his graduation at the end of four years he is given

a commissian in the United States Navy. And a commission in the navy may mean that the rank of a rear admiral may some day be acquired. The many friends of the young cadet are wishing him every success. He would have been a member of this year’s graduating class had he not received this appointment. It may be that some of us will live to see “Rear Admiral Livingston Ross” at the head of the American navy.

Some six or seven years ago Taylor McCoy was given this appointment, and spent some time and considerble money in Annapolis preparing foi the examination, but he did hot apply himself and failed after two attempts.

WINONA SUMMER SCHOOL

Special Instruction Given This Summer Along Educational and in Religious Lines.

SEASON ~FOR INSTITUTES Minion Workers, Public and Sunday School Teachers, Bible and Nature Students, and Others Provided For. —Schools Are for Yqung and Old.— Bome of the Instructors.

Eight summer training schools and Institutes, all of them giving special Instruction along religious and educational lines, will be in session at Winona Lake during the coming season. These schools, some of them conducted under the direction of the Winona management, but most of them independent organizations which meet at Winona Lake because of the facilities and social diversions, have been Increasing In number year after year. The first of these schools, and one of the oldest, is that for mission workers, conducted by the women of seven church organizations, who make headquarters in Chicago. For several years the mission workers gave their attention to th,e foreign cause, .but when the school opens on June 22 for a week’s session one division of it will be devoted to the study of home mission methods. The foreign mission branch will study a text-book on “Missions In Mohammedan Lands,” and a series of lectures will be given on It by Mrs. Helen Montgomery of Rochester, N. Y. The text-book which the home mission workers will use Is “The Frontier," by Miss Katherine R. Crowell, and general lectures will be given by Miss Lydia A. Finger, general secretary of the Home Mission Union of the Congregational Church. The Winona Normal School, which gives much of its attention to training teachers for public school service, opened on June 1 with a generous enrollment, and its summer term of six weeks begins on July 13. The Normal has been organized under the provisions of the Indiana state law, and in September will open its regular year for at least thirty-six weeks. The president is Jonathan Rigdon, for years president of the Central Normal College at Danville, Ind., and he has a corps of over thirty teachers who have been obtained from colleges and universities over the country. The Winona Bible School, which Is annually attended by hundreds of students of the Scriptures, including many teachers of Bible classes, Sunday School workers and ministers, will be in session from July 6 to Aug. 6, under the direction of Dr. Frank N. Palmer. He spent four months In the Holy Land this snrlne gathering in-

Here’s a Picture True to Life.

According to the idea of many of the rising generation, a young man should leam to lie, to flirt, to cheat, to swear, to drink, to play billiards, to swagger in the streets, to live without work, to ogle every pretty girl he meets, to treat his elders with disrespect, to talk loud in the presence of others, to put on style .whether . he can afford It or not, ia boast of the feminine conquests he has made, to have every slang term on his tongue’s end, to gossip with his chums about his lady acquaintance, to attract all the attention to himself that he possibly can, to talk like a loafer and a fop instead of a quiet, sensible man, to call his father “the old man” and his mother “the old woman,” to think illy of every woman he sees and to speak ill of her every chance he gets, to turn up his nose at those quiet, sober and industrious, youngj men who do not train in his crowd, to treat hlB sister without any sort of regard, to treat her like an ill-bred loafer Instead of like a gentleman.

Here is your picture, fast young man, true to life! Look at it. How do you like it? What have these characteristics made of you? What has the future in store for you? Unless you change your course most radically—RUlN.

The young people’s department of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions will open an institute on July 6 for a week, under the direction of Rev. Willis L. Gelston, of Philadelphia, superintendent of this department of the Presbyterian church. The purpose of the institute will be to train leaders in local church work. One of the speakers will be Amos R.

A new Winona feature will be meetings for business men, the purpose of which will be te point out how religious activity and Christian efforts generally may be applied to commercial life. E. A. K. Hackett, editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, will be one of the leaders of these meetings, another will be John H. Converse, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia, and a third is E. Y. Yarnelle, a Fort Wayne iron merchant, and others will be heard.

From the Mt. Ayr Pilot.

Uncle Joe Yeoman of Rensselaer visited the first of the week with John Rush and family. Mrs. Ray Adams and Miss Grace Adams of Rensselaer took dinner one day last week with W. A. Crisler and family.

Austin Hopkins and wife of Rensselaer, and their daughter, Mrs. Wm. Thflimpsofi,- of Stuiiipnr iffd. visited last week with relatives at this place. According to the expressed intentions of a number of residents of this town and vicinity, nearly the whole population will celebrate the Fourth at Morocco.

We wonder why neither of the Rensselaer papers mentioned the fact that Rensselaer played -base bail here & week ago last Sunday. It couldn’t be because Rensselaer met with defeat.

About 5 o’clock Saturday evening a Polock who was working on the Lawler ranch a few miles north of Morocco started to town on foot down the railroad track. He was last seen that evening about 15 minutes past 5, and Sunday evening he was found lying upon the side of the track dead. An Inquest was held Monday ■evening and it was concluded that death came as the result of paralysis or sunstroke, there being no signs of murder, as was at first susplcioned. Four of bis comrades seem to have found him early Sunday and turned him over and left the body where they found it without reporting to the authorities. These comrades were present at the Inquest Monday but were of little

value as they could neither Bpeak nor understand English. It is quite likely that the unfortunate man will be burled in the paupers graveyard and that cause of his death will always remain a mystery.

The Rensselaer cook book published by the ladles of the Presbyterian church, are now on sale at A. F. Long’s drug store, where the ladies selling them can also be suplied. The reason a man can’t fiftd what he is looking for is because he don't look where It would have bitten him If it had been a snake!
