ALL ON ACCOUNT OF THE RAIN Mr. and Mrs. Philip H. Philbin gave a dancing party at their country home, Hillrroft Farm, near Fort Cal liotin, Saturday evening. It was to be a dancing parly and eleven cars were ready to take the young guests and their chaperons back to their homes later in the evening Sixty guests of the school sel were present, with Mrs. Frank 11 Mycm, Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Murph. Miss Nan Murnhv. Miss Helen Murphy. Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. K. (). I Ijunil- ton and Mrs. F. B. Aldotis as chap- , erons, not to speak of several house guests of the i'hilbins. Then camel L. .(..Imlt and the lintitetm ' lilt I n , 1 . - ,v..r. .. was confronted with the problem of "putting-Hp" neatly 10O guests in five bedrooms. The young people danced until aficr t o'clock in the morning, when the giiU were sent upstairs to bed. The boys set about with sofa pillows and rugs to make themselves comfort able on the floors. The chaperons de cided to spend the night, or rather the early morning, playing bridge on the stairs. Mr. Philbin and Mr. Mur phy drew straws to see who might have the first sleep upon a couch downstairs. Mr. Murphy won and was to sleep until 3:30 o'clock, when Mr. Philbin s turn would come. Musician! Only Sleepers. About 4 o'clock Mrs. Philbin stepped softly to the couch to cover up her husband, who seemed slreping most audibly, but with the covers on the floor. She lifted up the cjuilt gently to lay it over the sleeper, but it seemed very hard to determine where was his head; he seemed to have his feet at both ends. She switched on the light and found the two colored musicians, who had nlayed for the dancers, sleeping like logs; they were on .the couch to stay. Mr. Murphy and the host walked the veranda until breakfact. Meanwhile the boys inside kept up their pillow fights, with all the howl ing, yelling and shrieking that accom pany such tournaments. But the colored fiddlers slept on. They were the sole sleepers at Hillcroft Farm.

I fi IT is easy to exaggerate values: Herbert SPENCER, greatest of English phil osophers, had no university training. Neither had FARADAY, perhaps the foremost name in 19th century science (nor James Watt, nor Fulton, nor Stevenson, nor Edison, nor a long line of the moat famous Inventors). Neither did Quaker John Dalton, founder of modern chem istry; nor the explorer Sohmemann, who became the finest Greek scholar of his time. Neither did LINCOLN. Yet his Gettysburg Address is now one of the classics of the English language. Neither did Charles DICKENS, nor scores of other famous writers. Nor Horace GREELEY, nor Joseph PULITZER, nor the elder BENNETT, nor many another distinguished editor; nor scarce one of our great business geniuses, like ROCKEFELLER, or CARNEGIE, or James J. HILL. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER Wherever Obtained Whether obtained from four years of university training tit a cost of $4078 which was the average cost for this yi nr's senior class at Yah ir from four years study of the Encyclwpuedin britannica at a cost of $64 to $100, KNOWLEDUK is the lag factor in ohtamm SUCCESS. Courses in chemistry und physics iuut astronomy; in history and English literature; in I'lt iich and othtr literature; in psychology, nmthein.ttirs and a do en other things are given at u university.
