great comfort to him, both from her
affection and her accomplishments
His wife heard her husband ex-
press the desire to have some children
to bring up. and she understood that
in New York were two fine children,
the daughters of a French couple who
came to this country, and here the
husband lost his wife. lie was SO dis
consolatc that he refused to stay in the
land which he accused OF having caus-
cd the death of his partner So he
gave his children to an institution,
and, hearing about them Mrs. Shcr-
man came over to New York. and it is
said that she personally, without as
sistancc, carried those two infants to
Washington in the night. One Of them
died before it was 2 years old. The
other was sent abroad to be educated,
and while there some informing per-
soa told the girl that she was not the
child of the senator and his wife. 1t
made her so unhappy that she was un-
able TO stay in France and insisted up
on coming home. The incident, how

The Barber Disguised Him.

Quite a good story leaked out the
other evening ut the expense of gram
ger who had come to Cincinnati to see
the sights. When nc left home his hair
and beard were of fiery red. Landing
at the Central Passenger Station he be-
came fearful of thieves, and deposited
his wealth with Chris. Killmcycr, who
keeps u restaurant on the opposite cor.
ner. Several jokes were passed at the
cxpence of his personal appearance,
and he concluded that he would get
shaved.
Accordingly he went next door to the
tonsorlal establishment operated by
Peter Matt. This knight of the razor
has an eye to business, and after l,av-
ing trimmed his customer up very neat
ly, succeeded in convincing him that
his personal appearance would be great
ly improved by changing the color Of
his hair and beard to a jet black. This
was soon accomplished and the granger
was informed that the barber's bill
amounted to $5 Is. Not having that
amount Of money about him, he return
ed to Killmeycr's and remarked to that
gentleman IN gruH voice: Glve me
$2O."
Killmeycr looked ut him with aston.
ishment and replied: my friend, you
must have been drinking. I don't know
you; why should I give you $20?"
"Why don't you know me; didn't
deposit all had with you not an hour
ago, and did you not give me this?''

MASSACHUSETTS HALL.

That building of the olden time, MaSSachu-
sets hall, suggests in its very appearance
colonial days. There were rank md station
among the students then. They wore acad-
emic gowns and queues, with swords and
canes. All about there took the tone Of
"Come hithcr, mental, and do my bidding. "
The students were young gentlemen of wealth
and blood, and there were powdered wigs and
gorgeous footmen. Freshmen were not al
10 wear their hats i'll presence OF men,
hers of the classes above them or of the col
hgc faculty. Consequently the poor fellows
mostly carried their hats in their hands wheh
crossing the college grounds.
Well, oil this rubbish is mostly done away
with. This much the leveling spirit OF the
age has accomplished, with all its faults. 1t
has tended TO make the poorest and the hard
est working among men lift his brows from
the earth and say: 81, too, am a man."
College hazing grew out of the caste sys-
TEN that reignod in the ancient college days,
when of every one was exacted that awful
reverence for his superiors which amounted
to a slavish Difference.
Massachusetts, and Harvard halls stand one
on each side of the entrance TO the college
grounds. Harvard hall is full Of interest.
Before 1915 it contained the common dining
hall of the students. Morning and evening
they hied them thither for a bowl Of choco-
late or milk and a piece Of bread. This they
ate in the yard, or in their W rooms.

He Was Not walking.

Jabe Mathis, Of the Thirteenth Georgia,

The Coufederatas passed along over tho

Jabe.
In o moment there was q fresh rattle Of
musketry and n renewed crash Of shells. Sud-
denly Jahe appeared on the crest Of the hill
moving like a hurricane and followed by a
clond Of lust. AS he dashed past his captain

THE wYANoor MISSION CHURCH.

Tho First Mission Church of Episcopal
MethOdism an the World.
One Of the most interesting landmarks in
the country IS situated near Upper Sandusky,
Ohio. 1t Is said TO be the first mission church
OF Episcopal Methodism in the world. II
was built in 1924 by James B. Finley, the
missionary to the Wyandots The money
with which it was constructed, $1,SSSSS
came out Of the United States treasury
through the influence Of John G. Calhoun,
then secretary Of war. 1t was a substantial
building OF blue limestone and oak, with wal
nut trimmings Taken altogether it was said
to be a model church.
In 1912 a treaty was effected by which the
Nyandot Indians were removed to a reserva-
ton west or the Mississippi, the United States
government agreeing that the mission church
and the ground around it containing the
graves OF its dead congregation should re-
main forever consecrated to the purpose for
which it was originally designed. AIN

Buildings famous
STOUGHTON HALL.

in the history and sToUGHToN HALL
literature of the United States cluster all
about the Harvard group. What is called
the old presidents house was occupied as
long ago as 1926. 1t was then called Wads-
worth hall. and President Wadsworth was
the first who lived in it. From that time on
the fires upon its hearths were kindled unin-
~terruptedly by a presidents family, and
never died out for. l23 years. In 1919 Jared
Sparks became president, and lived in his
own house in Cambridge. Edward Everett
was the last who occupied the old house as
an official residence. 1t was in this house
that Washington was received when he came
to Cambridge at the head of the army in
1775.
When New England was first settled by
the Puritans they were enthusiastic about
converting all the world TO Christianity
Mayhower Christianity. They were going
to have the Indian aging psalms and wear
ing his hair cut round, and walking in the
way Of godlincSS in less than no time. To
this end the Society for P~ropagatinG the
Gospel in New England was formed. They
even went so far Us to found IN Indian
college at Harvard 200 years ago. This was
to seize on young Indian converts beSore they
had time to relapse, educate them in the
strict doctrines Of theology, and then send
them abroad as missionary preachers among
their own race. Alas for misdirectCd en-
thusiasm! Only one Indian ever entered the
doors of the school, Rev. Caleb Cheeshah-
teaumuck; and New England theology
proved so disa..rous TO his system that lie
died a year before graduating. The Indian
college is what q writer calls q "shadowy
Renaissance"
