a dozen or so of the, city donated. The
servant of Undo Sam must report In

administered when ho does reach hln
post of duty on tho Keurxago. Being
unable to pay tho $23 fine imposed on
him, he was taken to the Jail to serve
time. Ten dollars were worked off
the fine in this way, but as the last
day of his parole arrived, the young
fellow grew morose and melancholy,
as he realized only too well what wns

role. So a few who regretted to see
Uncle Sam's uniform cooped up In

was allowed to hurry to his post of

"i6 "Likewise Hum Little. Use for the
I'rewi'iit Day College Alhlctle Field
Whitman Is" Now Non-Kecturlan.
Walla AValla, Nov. 17. For tha first
time in the history of Whitman college,
Dr. D. K. Pearsons of Chicago, who
lias betn the greatest benefactor of
the college, was present yesterday
morning at the dally chapel exercises
and addressed the student body. The
rirst Impression which one gets of the
great philanthropist Is that he Is now
reaplnt; the reward of a lifetime of
Melf-denlal, of a long life which he has
lived temperately and in perfect ac
cord with the highest calls of true citi
zenship. He is 89 years old.
Dr. Pearsons said that as he was
entering the chapel room he had been
talking to one of the professors who
had commented on the large number
f young men who were working their
.vay through college. "I was very
much pleased to hear that," he said.
"but I venture that there is not a
-Ingle person in this great gathering
who had to work as hard as I did for
college edu.qatlon. Why, for five
years I boarded myself, baked by own
Johnny-cakes, cooked my own potu-
:ol9, friend my Wn meat. For five
years I depended upon myself entire
ly, and during that time I waxed fat
in the doing and was well and hearty
at all times."
Leaving the reminiscences of his
own life the speaker went on'to tell
llOW he dislikes to see a person helped
vho Is not worthy of the, help. "I
ave helped young' men. I have loaned
,nd given then: money, I huve done
erythJng I could to help them along,
tnd I have seen tha help abused. If
boy is worth anything at all he can
telp himself. He can get through
chool without anyone's aid. He can
"ioe Is own row. Thousands of boys
S.o getting their own college education,
.nd they are the b:5ys who are worth
hile. the boys who -will amount .to
miethlng In the years that yet He be-
iire them." ' "'
The doctor 'urged In no uncertain
tfiiis, that college students of today
:ionld go tnto college athletics less,
ind Into the real hard work of nature
lore. He advised the tilling, of the
ill and tho ordinary work of the
jardon. "You can get better and more
helpful exercise digging In a garden
hnn playing on a football field. Dig-
t'.v v-.'ly iv.C'i
.ill got the exercise, that will keep
your bodies healthful and pure, and
will nt the same time give you a:i op
portunity to think some of ,th? grand
l thoughts thoughts that are really
worth while " ''.'.

when the college authorities saw a
chance of expanding the plan was
presented to the society and Whitman
college released from Its obligations.
