NOT ALL TIIS WORLD XOUKNS
That the Titanic horror did not
feaze all mankind is told In the fol
lowing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin;'
Two socialists of the "red" type
were today loiidly proclaiming on
. :a crowded street car their' joy
over the death of meg of wealth
wreck ' Tbey especially gloated
and distinction in the Titanic
over the deaths of Astof, Straus!
' and Major Butt. ' '"'
B. "W. Stone,' an investment
broker, was one of the- car pas
. sengers, and the socialists asked
.him what he thought about it. .
' "No man with a drop ' of true
' American blood in. his veins would
say what you'are saying," he re-
sponded.
"You're a liar," shouted one of
the socialists, as he sprang at
. Mr. Stone.;. .
. The latter arose and with a
stiff battery of blows changed the
fellows face Into a disfigured mass
A policeman, noting the hubbub,
rushed Into the car, but, when
told of the cause of the battle, re
fused to arrest Mr. Stone, but In
stead shook him warmly by the
hand, saving:
"I am proud of you."

petitions In the courses leading to a
university degree, President Harry
Pratt Judsou of the University of Chi'
cago would shorten the educational
system so that young men' might be
college graduates at ;:18, university
bachelors at 20 and holders of profes
sional degrees' at 22, or 23 years of
age. '.'.:' ,':'' -.' '
. Instead of spending the best years
of one's life In college, Presldeut Jud
son would have students ready to en
ter business and professional , life at
a reasonable age." He would cut two
years from the eight year elementary
course, compressing secondary school
work tb three years, Inserting aa jun
lor college course of three years, and
giving two years ; to . university
branches.
; ''..According to this schedule a ohlld
would be In the elementary school
from six years of age until ho was 12
12 to 15, In the secondary school; 15
to 18, the college; the years following
In the university. By the time he was
30 he would . be well established In
business or his profession, Instead of
just beginning life, as he is according
to present-arrangement of educational
courses., -, ..? ....... . '. .;
There would be variations frpm thl3
schedule, of course, since many Stu
dents might not he able to progress fo
rapidly. But the general scheme Is
practicable.

; Thomas Nelson Page.
Thomas Nelson Page, the famous
writer of southern stories, was' born
in Hanover county, Virginia, April 23,
1853. He attended Washington and
Lee university and later ' graduated
from the law department of the Uni
versity of Virginia. He practiced law
in Richmond from 1875 until,, 1893,
when he definitely abandoned the law
for literature.) Mr. Page haa made a
marked success in depicting the beau
ty and chivalry , of the south lh the
days before the war, though he was
only a lad when the war ended. His
first successful work waa T'In Ole Vir
ginia," which was published in 1887
Among his other famous stories are

HARDY SERI INDIANS.
They Can Outrun a Horse and Qe For
v ; Days Without Feed.
From an ethnological standpoint one
of the strangest peoples In the western
hemisphere is that tribe known as the
Serl Indians, living In the western
part of the state of Sonora, Mexico,
along the shore of the gulf of Califor
nia and on the Island of Tiburon In
that gulf. v
From time Immemorial Serlland baa
remained practically unexplored, part-
because It ties behind a desert bar
rier and partly on account of the war
like reputation of Its fierce and blood
thirsty Inhabitants.
These Indians are of superb phy
sique, able, to run down fleet game
and to capture half wild . Mexican
horses without rope or projectiles; able
to run across the desert, waterless and
food less, so rapidly as to escape purr
suing horsemen; able to abstain from
food and water for days; able habitual
ly to pass barefoot through cactus
thickets and over Jagged rock slopes
without thought of discomfort.
They speak a distinct language and
strictly practice monogamous : mar
riage. Their barred for alien peoples
is hereditary. The remains of undent
ruins in Seriland indicate, that the in
habitants have always kept their mn
try free from foreign Invasion 'And
that for centuries their custom," and
