At Old Jefferson College.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
By Rev. L. M. Colfelt, D. D.
In the autumn of 1867 the anxious-
ly awaited hour arrived when 1 start-
ed for Jefferson College, Canonsburg,
Pa. The first step in order was the
Exams for admission, conducted by
Prof. Alonzo Linn and president
Jonathan Edwards. Hoping only to
enter the Sophomore class I was
agreeably surprised that they decided
I was fitted to matriculate as a Junior,
leaving but two years to graduate.
Thenceforward I did not study for
marks but only to maintain a credit-
able standing as one of the first fif-
teen in a class of seventy, all men
much more mature than I which was
.a handicap in courses requiring the
reasoning powers. My leisure, upon
release from the daily grind, I em-
poyed in the acquisition of general
knowledge in science, philosphy, liter-
ature, but displaying perhaps the
trend of my nature in the eager pe-
rusal and study of the famous orators,
Patrick Henry, Calhoun, Clay, Ed-
ward Everett Burke, Mirabau, Geni-
betta Castelar. Not being addict-
ed to baseball or cards as too great
consumers of time, I found consider-
able social diversion of evenings in
the homes of citizens of Canonsburg
largely because my parents had been
well known residents of the town for
some time. An active member of the
Philo Literary Society I was often
chosen to participate in the debates
and also as a Junior class orator and
to read the yearly Lampoon at com-
mencement.
Occasional correspondent of the
Washington, Pa. newspaper, I ‘take
pleasure in the recollection that my
articles and Daniel Houston’s solicita-
tions resulted in awakenng an interest
and the successful subscription to
$300,000 stock which, with the aid of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, put Can-
onsburg and Washington on the rail-
road map and connected them with the
outside world. At that time, Dr. Beat-
ty, president of Stubenville Semi-
nary, proffered $50,000 endowment if
the college was removed and united
with Washington College. It was matu-
ral that this proposition should awak-
en an outcry from the citizens of Can-
onsburg, the very tendrils of the
heart being inextricably woven about
their hoary old institution. To ne,
knowng that Washington College was
nothing but a superior academy com-
pared with Jefferson, its Alumni, un-
distinguished in numbers and prestige
and that a college depends so largely
for its future on the number, calibre
and loyalty of its alumni, the idea of
tearing the bigger college up by the
roots and transplantng it to the site
of one scarcely arrived at the dignity
of a college seemed: little short of
monstrous. A public meeting of pro-
test was called to assemble in the
chapel and when in the course of it
the presiding officer called for any
expression any student might be
pleased to make, I, remembering that
my great uncle, Dr. McMillan had
sweated blood over the founding of
the college and that my father had
participatd in the original endowment,
sprang to my feet, like Patrick Henry,
the Mill Boy of the Slashes in the Vir-
ginia Assembly, and poured forth my
soul in a Niagara torrent of indignant
protest against the outrage that was
about to be perpetrated in the practi-
cal sale of Jefferson College for the
paltry sum of $50,000. It resulted in
a lawsuit being carried to the Su-
preme Court to undo the action of the
Board of Trustees but it proved
abortive and the college was uproot-
ed. I do not think the consequences
have been assuring of a great insti-
tution for until this day, now nearly
sixty years later as I write, Wash-
ington College has not advanced much
beyond the status of a high school. As
for myself, I should have been recre-
ant to my ancestors had I kept silent.
I was a small hero to the town and
the ladies of Canonsburg went so far
in their approbation as to invite me
‘to a banquet and surprise me with the
‘the presentation of a gold-headed
cane, which to a boy of 17 years was
almost calculated to bring on vertigo.
My only delight in it was the happi-
ness it gave my aged parents back in
the farm house and the assurance it
was to them that this child of their
sacrifice was beginning to make good.
“That it was no mean performance was
witnessed by the fact that it was pub-
lished, two columns and more, in the |
Washington Reporter and read better !
than it was uttered. - But the most as-
suring criticism was that made by
Professor Alonzo Linn, known by all
his pupils to be extremely chary of
eulogy, to Rev. Robert Sample who, |
in preaching my installation sermon
cover Oxford Church, Philadelphia,
nearly thirty years later, informed the
audience that Professor Linn in his
hearing said that “The best speech in
his recollection ever made in the col-
lege chapel was made by a youth of
17 years in protest against the re-
moval of the college.” From a man
like Linn this was praise indeed but
the knowledge of it came too late in
life to do any harm.
The college was simply conducted
and shortly manned those days. There
were no elective courses, Greek, Latin,
Mathematics, Natural Philosophy,
Mental Philosophy and Rhetoric con-
stituting the substance of the curricu-
lum. Daily recitations in all were re-
quired. The expenses of a student
were modest as the luxuries of those
times did not go much beyond an ice
cream bun in the confectionery and a
very occasional livery team to Wash-
ington. Rooms with open-grated coal
fire were obtainable at $30 a year and
board at $3.25 a week. It was spare
living and high thinking indeed. My
expenses all told, on account of having
a scholarship, purchased by my fath-
er in aid of the endowment and none
but trifling tutition charges, totalled
not above $300 per year, which in this
year of grace may be sufficiently
amazing to paremts who must need
-—
spend a small fortune upon the col-
lege education of their sons.
The president of the college, Dr.
Jonathan Edwards, was not a genius
but a little giant in the use of words.
He seemed from his public discourses
and prayers, (he was the college
preacher), to have reduced all his
knowledge to stereotyped phrases, to
sculptured thought that he could sum-
mon at will. There were no surprises
but everything was exquisitely ap-
propriate and could not be improved
upon in preciseness of statement. He
could make an incomparable impromp-
tu speech. He was a model lectur-
er on Metaphysics, Mental Philosophy
and restrained in verbage, compact of
thought and highly instructive. In
conducting prayers in college chapel,
he read the Psalms invariably and
when he came to those chapters which
contained the word “Selah,” no mat-
ter how many times he happened up-
on the word, after its pronouncement,
he never refrained frem solemnly add-
ing the translation, “Pause and Pon-
der it!” It came to be a standing joke
among the students to inject in every
conversation, “Selah: Pause and Pon-
der it!” Professor Alonzo Linn was
instructor in the Classics and deserv-
edly had the respect of every student
as an incomparable teacher. Woe to
the man that came ill prepared or in
the vocative, who halted and provok-
ed his sarcastic “Tempus Est Fugit-
ing.” It might be hynotism or super-
ior will power, no matter what, he
surpassed any man I ever came in
contact with in making a student
tremble. Pygmy as he was and though
there was not a man in class that
could not throw him over his shoul-
der, that little man hushed the class
upon his entrance, seemed to loom gi-
gantic and inspire every man in the
class with something akin to heart
palpitaton if not terror. General Sher-
idan, also a small man, is the only
man I have ever known who had the
same singular power over men.
The joy of the college was the burly,
always good natured, jocular Scotch-
man, Professor Jones. He was a
magnificent Classical scholar and his
instructions in Natural Philosophy
were somewhat limited and crowded in
their English by the constant stream
of apt Classical quotations he was per-
petually pouring forth. No student
ever went through the college that did
not carry with him an unbounded ad-
miration for his instructions and his
personality. = After the tension with
the other professors it was a relaxa-
tion to reach Professor Jones’ room,
witness his experiments and listen to
his cheerful conversaziones on Natural
Philosophy. There we all ungirded
our armor and were not afraid to
laugh. May his tribe increase. In
the mathematical room, Professor
Roberts did not seem to get on with
the students and was the subject of
some practical jokes that might well
have been omitted. He ordered a stu-
dent to remain seated near the hot
stove when he claimed it was intoler-
able and defied the professor by re-
moving to another seat. He was
brought before the faculty for disci-
pline. Needless to relate, the student
body inclined to the side of the stu-
dent. It gave rise to quite the most
meritorious lampooning caricature I
have ever seen. A student, named
Newtcn, born in India: of missionary
parents, painted a huge canvas which
by night was nailed up and covered
almost the whole east wall of the
chapel. What was the astonishment of
the student body on being seated next
morning in the chapel on lifting their
eyes to behold this vast canvas depict-
ing the whole faculty in solemn coun-
cil and the hapless student awaiting
his fate. Each familiar member of
the faculty was portrayed with heads
finely drawn but their bodies resem-
bled satyrs and chimeras dire, with
hoofs and tails grotesque and under-
neath each the pronouncement upon
the case in the favorite aphorism he
was wont to use. President Edwards
in his favorite attitude, spectacles in
hand, had inscribed below his figure
the words, “A clear case of disobed-
ience. Selah: Pause and Ponder it!”
Beneath Alonzo Lum were the words,
“Tempus est fugiting”! Time is fly-
ing, while underneath the jovial Jones
were the words, “Roastare Bonus
Est;” It is good to roast. Such a
shout of glee, such a loud laughter
shook the walls of the chapel as never
was known in its history. It was so
fine as a work of art, so apt, so harm-
less, so utterly ridiculous that the
culprit was laughed out of court and
his bacon saved. The president had
the canvas taken down and conveyed
to his house as a souvenir of college
amenities.
About a block from my domicile a
group of college companions were
rooming, one half of them on one side
of the hall and one half on the other
with doors open between. The boys
in one of the rooms grinding at their
: text books for the following day heard
| their fellow students opposite plan-
ning a night foray upon the Pollock
orchard attached to the dwelling in
which I was quartered. After the dep-
: redators had reached the orchard and
several of them had climbed the trees,
the students who had remained behind
: followed with a revolver and arriving
iat the orchard, imitated the voice of
i the outraged owner and shouting ob-
| jurgations, began to fire repeatedly
| and wildly, calling upon the thieves to
‘surrender and avoid bloodshed. The
i boys in the tree branchs did not wait
i to climb down but tumbled directly to
the ground, ran pell mell in the op-
posite direction to the river bottom,
made a detour of about a mile to ne-
gotiate the square needed to reach
home. Meanwhile the perpetators of
the joke made their way leisurely to
their room and resumed their studies,
ready to receive their frightened as-
sociates and hear their panting, har-
rowing tale of their narrow escape
and headlong flight, to which the
spectacle they presented, with gar-
ments torn and mud splashed. bore
abundant evidence. I don’t think the
deceivers ever dared reveal their re-
sponsibility for the outrageous trick
save in sworn confidence to trusted
friends.

One Death That Would
Have Pleased Acto>
There is one theater effect that
never changes with the years, writes
Fay Templeton, in the Pictorial Be-
view. John Barrymore, muttering ;
audible maledictions at the coughing -
accompaniment to his “Hamlet,” in a
metropolitan theater, is merely repeat-
ing the history of the humblest barn- !
stormer. A bronchial cough repeated
several times during an impressive
speech—a nicely planted sneeze dur-
Ing a sentimental ballad—and only a
most patient Thespian can keep his
self-control.
One night we were giving “Lucrezia
Borgia” in Texarkana, Texas. Lu-
crezia’s poison-party had reached its
dramatic climax. As, one by one, the
friends of her son, Genaro, succumbed
to the fatal drink, crying: ‘‘Genaro,
avenge me!” a child's voice in the au-
dience piped up: “Oh, papa, look, he’s
dead!” Again: “Oh, papa, now they're
all dead!” At this my father, who
was playing Genaro, could stand it
no longer. Posed up-stage in an at-
titude of great agony, he hissed
through his teeth, “I wish to God you
were!”
Campaign That Gave
Vast Area to Whites |
But for the success uf Col. George
Wright and his soldiers in the bat-
tle of Spokane Plains, a few years
before the Civil war, development of
the entire Northwest might have been
indefinitely deferred. It was this battle
that climaxed the campaign that re-
sulted in crushing Indian resistance
throughout a region as large as the
present state of Oregon and made pos-
sible the settlement of the inland
empire by white Americans, giving
a new impulse to economic develop-
ment. Earlier forces that had at-
tempted to rout the Indians had been
armed with defective, short range |
weapons, but Colonel Wright's men
were equipped with the first high-
powered rifles and howitzers employ-
ing explosive shells that ever had been
used against the natives. The trip
north from Walla Walla, Wash., was a
triumphal march, terminating in the
total defeat of the Indians near Spo-
kane.—Portland Oregonian.
Good Food Neglected
It was contended for many years
chat no country could produce so ex-
cellent a macaroni as Italy, because of
the species of hard wheat grown
there, which is essential to its mak-
ing. This wheat has a horny grain.
and contains a large amount of gluten.
However, the hard, flinty wheats of
Algeria, of Tangarok, Russia, of Ar-
gentine and of the United States, es-
pecially the Dakotas, are as rich in
-| it could not be said he had given up
the element needed as the best va-
riety of the Italian farms, Durum
wheat, therefore, is the pride of the :
Dakotas—the farmers have almost a
monopoly of it.
An expert observer,
years ago, said: “It is to be regret- |
ted that macaroni, spaghetti and ver- |
micelli do not enter more largely into |
the dietary of the working classes of
America, not less because of their |
cheapness and the ease with which |
they may be prepared than because
of their nourishing qualities.”

Historic French Tomb
Le Mans, one of the old towns ot |
northern France, was unfamiliar to
Americans until its strategic position |
made it a military base for the Amer-
fcans during the World war. Nor- |
mally the lines of travel in Europe |
do not touch Le Mans, so it is rarely |
seen by visitors. Among the things of |
interest there is the tomb of Beren-
zaria, the woman whom Richard the
Lion-Hearted loved, and because of
whom he broke with the house of |
France, repudiating the sister of the |
king. Why she comes to lie there,
while he is at Fontrevault, I do not ;
know. But there she lies, three
weeks’ march northward from her :
father’s land, the queen and the mate |
of the greatest man of her time.—|
Hilaire Belloc, in the Independent. |
Old English Almshouses
Trinity almshouses, in the Mile-End
road, constitute In their entirety one
of the most picturesque bits of old!

houses and their surroundings have
been left to all intents and purposes
as they were when first erected 230
years ago by the Corporation of the
Trinity House for “decayed masters
and commanders of ships, mates and
pilots and their wives or widows.”
Even the models of ships, characteris-
tic of the period, that decorate the
roofs, though renovated from time to
time, remain intact and so does the
chapel. On the green is a statue of

The Girl He Needed
She was young, shingled, and fair-
haired, and more than ordinarily at-
tractive. As she sat down near the
well-dressed man who had called her
‘rom the adjoining room her face
wore a look of expectancy. Previous
to this, he had sald that he badly
aeeded her.
“Dear,” he began; and then words
seemed to fail him. He rose and made
a circuit of the room as if to collect
nis thoughts.
The girl smiled encouragingly, and
he sat down once again. With visible
effort, he pulled himself together;

Few Have Ever Found
Humming Birds’ Nest
Comparatively few people ever have
the pleasure of peeping into a hum-
ming bird's nest, to behold two tiny
eggs like round white beans, or to
, See two birdlets which somewhat re
semble little beetles.
In the first place, the nest is so
small and so resembles the surround-
ing shrubbery that it is easily over-
looked. Then, too, it Is so cleverly
hidden by its wise builders and so
disguised in its construction as to
require an experienced eye to dis-
cover it.
Built of soft, pliant hairs and
adorned with bits of moss and feath-
ers, it forms a downy, cuplike, se-
cluded home. The fairy hummer of
Cuba, the smallest of all the hum-
ming birds, builds a nest so tiny that
it can be covered completely with a
copper cent. Its eggs look like twr
little pearls.
The humming bird, more than 500
species of which have been classified,
is distinctly American. In the main,
it is a tropical bird, as fewer than 20
species are found in the United States.
The one known to residents of
states east of the Mississippi is the
beautiful ruby throat. Audubon called
humming birds ‘glittering fragments
of the rainbow,” so gorgeous are they
in color.
Soldier’s Name Well
“Worth Army Corps”
When the French revolution flamed
out, the aristocratic La Tour d’Au-
vergne, disdaining pleas of his fellow
officers to lea~e France, threw in his
lot with the revolutionists. Time
after time he emerged from battle
with his clothing torn by bullets, but
ubharmed, and so he gained his rep-
utation of bearing a charmed
Stories of his amazing courage reached
the enemy and inspired terror.
This reputation enabled him to cap-
ture San Sebastian, Spain, single-
handed. He arrived in a little boat
bearing a tiny cannon, disembarked,
marched to the citadel, announced he
was the advance guard of the French
#kmy and demanded that the place be
surrendered. The Spanish command-
ant was so intimidated that he was
willing to surrender, but asked La
Tour d'Auvergne to fire one shot, so
without being attacked. La Tour
d’Auvignon obligingly consented. A
volley replied and then the command-
ant capitulated.
Trombone Long Popular
The trombone has been recognized
4s a meritorious musical instrument
for centuries. The Romans knew {it
as the tuba ductilis, and there is some
evidence that the trombone was known

ice when that city was queen of the
Adriatic, consisted of trombones only,
according to some historians. It is
trombones in the state band of Henry
VIII and six in the state bands of
Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.
Really eminent musicians have some-
times played the trombone. Sir George

struments in the orchestra and fre-

“They're only making a sucker out of

“Being a sucker is fun,” Diamond
Joe replied, “if you can afford it.”
Cyrus Used Boiled Water
That a safe water supply was con-
sidered essential to an army by the
military leaders of ancient times is evi-
dent from a statement in Herodotus
that Cyrus the Great of Persia carried
with him on his miltary expeditions
boiled water from the Coaspes river,
transporting it in silver vessels on
four-wheeled wagons. This famous
general died about 530 B. C.
There is a later record that Aristotle
advised Alexander to boil the water he
took with him on desert marches to
keep it from getting sour. It took
nearly twenty-five centuries for men
to take advantage of the lessons that
these ancient rulers had learned.—
Hygeia.
Cease Worrying
There is no doubt that in our day
and generation more people suffer be-
cause of worry than of work, The fol-
lowing bulletin has been issued by doc-
tors against worrying: “So far as is
known,” the bulletin says, “no bird
ever tried to build more nests than
its neighbor; no fox ever fretted be-
cause he had only one hole in which
to hide; no squirrel ever died of anxi-
ety lest he should not lay by enough
nuts for two winters instead of one;
and no dog ever lost any sleep over
the fact that he did not have enough
bones laid aside for his declining
years.” ]

Trees Required for a Christmas in
: - Pennsylvania.
Figures compiled by the Depart-
ment of Forests and Waters show that
last year about two and a quarter
million dollars were spent in Pennsyl-
vania for Christmas trees.
not include the money that was spent
for holly, mistletoe, laurel, and other
decorative material. Last year 520
carloads of Christmas trees were im-
ported to Pennsylvania. These trees
came from Canada, Michigan, and
some of them from as far west as the
State of Washington. The trees were
largely of spruce and fir. The ship-
ments from the far west were chiefly
Douglas fir. Of the 770,000 trees im-
ported, 381,000 were used in Philadel-
phia alone.. The rest of the imported
trees were used chiefly in Pittsburgh,
Scranton, and other large cities. In
addition to the trees which were im-
ported into Pennsylvania, it is believed
about. 600,000 trees were also cut
within the State. Most of these were
used in small towns and rural dis-
tricts.
Each year a larger number of home-
grown Christmas trees are taken from
the forests of Pennsylvania. Since
forest fires are being held in check,
a larger number of these evergreen
trees are becoming available for
Christmas tree use. There are also
a large number of Christmas trees be-
ing grown in Plantation within Penn-
| sylvania. Forestry officials . believe
that in fifteen years from now the
home grown trees will practically sup-
ply all the Christmas trees and much
other decorative material needed for
the Holiday season.
There is a fashion in Christmas
trees as in other things. Years ago
the prevailing fashion was to use ex-
tra large trees. A few years ago trees
8 to 10 feet in height were in great
demand. Now many trees 2 to 5 feet
high are in use. These trees are es-
! pecially adapted for use in apartments
{and other places with limited space.
| Another tendency is toward the use
{ of the living Christmas tree rather
; than the cut tree. The living trees
| are carefully planted in pots, cedar
i tubs, or other special containers.
| They give much better service as
| Christmas trees and may later be tak-
en out of doors and kept for orna-
mental use.
