   Mr. Joseph Adams is with us again, he having resigned his position at Haskell, to return to college.  He went west for his health and from his looks we judge that he found it in the Mountains of Colorado.

   Mr. Joseph Adams left for the Pacific Coast on Wednesday evening, in company with Miss Barr.  We hope they will have a pleasant trip across the continent.  It will be an entire change of scene and air to the latter, who needs it.  Her duties as Nurse in Chief of the hospital are a strain upon nerve and strength.  Joseph was in the sophomore class of Dickinson College, but has not been well for the past few months.  The War breezes which he will get straight from Manila and the breath from his native Oregon fir trees, will brace him up we are sure, so that he will be able to face the strongest and say "How Dewey do?"

===================================
   Miss Barr arrived from Oregon on Wednesday.  It will be remembered that she went home with Joseph Adams, who was in a rundown condition.  She speaks in highest terms of Joe's father, his step-mother, and all interested in him at his home.  They are good-hearted, sensible people and Joe will have every attention and care that loving hands and hearts can give.  The trip was a trial to him, but it is hoped that his health and strength will return. Miss Barr is full of interesting incidents of her trip.  She visited the Chemawa school; saw Mr. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. George and others.  John Brown, who went home ill, she says, is well and strong.  The George baby, Lavinia Florence, was so sweet and pretty she wanted to bring it back with her.  The band played for her and she has many pleasant things to say about the people and things she saw at that famous Indian school of the Pacific slope.

     Joseph Adams Is Dead.
   We have the sad and painful duty of recording the death of another loved member of our school.  Joseph Adams, who went to his home in Oregon, a few weeks since on account of ill health died ofConsumption on the 12th inst.  The deceased was a character of such frankness, nobility, purity and faithfulness to trust that none knew him but to love him.  Doctor Turner, of the Siltez Agency writes thus of his last hours:  "Joseph suffered but little and talked with a pleasant smile during his sickness.  There was a large funeral, and thus ends a noble life, while so many ignoble still live."  Miss Barr received a very few sad lines from him which must have been written but a few hours before his death, in which he said he was so tired.  Some of the words were so faint that they could not be made out.  Joseph was a graduate of Chemawa, having gone there a year and a half.  When he came to Carlisle in 1893, he entered the Dickinson Preparatory at once, and before he left had reached the Sophomore class in the college proper.  A year ago he went west for his health and remained in Colorado for several months.  The ambition to get through college brought him back to carlisle, and when he arrived he looked remarkably well, but the close study and effort again brought him low.
   Joseph had had considerable experience with the agency doctor, which fitted him for usefulness at once in our own hospital.  He was a nurse that the patients all liked and he enjoyed giving aid and comfort to the suffering.  Dr. Montezuma who was physician for a part of the time writes thus to Miss Barr:
   "I sympathize with you in relation to Joe.  Life is a mystery. What you have done for Joe can never be estimated.  You have one consolation, you have seen one boy who has been faithful and did his duty to the last moment.  I consider his life a glorious revelation.  He stood equal to Lieutenant Hobson.  He carried his ship while the battle of life was raging on every side.  Though he sank, his wreck on the road to success will be the only means to free our nation.  I cannot conceive of a grander spectacle than a fallen color-bearer with hand grasping the flag and body fallen toward the enemy.  Joe's death is grand, noble and sublime.  Our reward is not on earth.  It is beyond the grave where no disease can hinder or mar our advancement.  Joseph's character was truly exceptional and worthy of imitating.

   We are sorry to learn of the death of Joseph Adams on June 12, at his home in Oregon.  Joseph was assistant teacher at Haskell for a short time and won many friends by his gentle and courteous ways.
