are said to have offered James H.
Jones, , President Jefferson "Davis"
former negro body 'sarvant, $15,000
to reveal tbo hiding place of the
grept seal of the confederacy. The
old man refused, eayin that no
monoy could . tempt hlpd to betray
the trust reposed in him by Jefferson
Davis, and that the secret would' bo
buried with liira, Mr., payls lntrust
oit the confederate seal to Jones just
before Richmond was -evacuated and
told lilm to hide It. He did so and
has' faithfully: kept Mr. Davis' In
junction never tq rovoal the hiding
place.
,Aftdr the offer had been made and
declined, the man who lias kept the
secret all these years, said: '
"If it could be done without' my
violating confidence reposed In me
by .Mr. Davis, I would be glad to seo
the great seal In the museum here,
but this- cannot be done,, and as I
told the gentlemen, I Will carry the
secret to my grave, s No monay con

taught dishonorable principles. I
have in my veins a good streak pf
Indian blood, and,, you know, an In
dian detests a liar and a thief, and
I would be nothing less did I do
otherwise than I am doing in this
matter.
"It Is ray earnest wlsu that this
bo the last ' effort to get me to tell
that which I promised Mr. Davis
faithfully I would never divulge. But
It matters not how many offers may
be made and how large tho amounts,
James Jones will never entertain
them."
"Do you believe you could recover
the seal?" ho was asked.
, "I feel entirely satisfied I could,
but I never will. I never did deceive
Mr. Dalvs and now tha he ls dead I
am sure I shall' remain true to the

spoke; in part as follows;' . , -
"The American college ls ow trial.

the day. The practical spirit of our,.- ,
people has - achieved marvels, and to
day In an excess of that 'spirit, so fine -'
when it serves higher ends, so base -when
if serves only Selfish Interests, '
the Inner Invisible things ta which the K
real greatness of our. life depends are
being attacked and challenged. The
college education, because of Its quiet .':
round of life and study, is considered
sometimes unpractical and j useless. ,
However the utility-man's whole life
that is furnished insteady of technical '
specialisation by ' ' college ; : education t
makes it worth while. ' It gives to the . :
youth the ability of determining the
full range of his powers and abilities." ,
