Poor Students at Yale.

The fayorite method Of paying for
board is to organize an eating club. The
process is simple. At the beginning Of
year man goes around among his class
mates and secures eight or ten who agree
TO take their meals together. He then
goes 10 some landlady and agrees to fur
nish her with an eating club Of students.
He agrees furthermore 10 relieve her
from all pecuniary responsibility by col
lecting at the end Of each week from the
men the money for their board and hand
ing il over 10 her. In return for this she
agrees to furnish him with his board. II
is beneficial TO the student. because the
members of the club, knowing that he is
in Strengthened circumstances, are always
willing to help him by paying regularly
and promptly.
Every class has in il four or five mon
itors, whose duty il is TO record the alb
sence or tardiness Of students at recita-
tons or morning prayers. A monitor
receives S3j a year from the faculty.
The same amount is paid each year to
the man who rings the college bell. OF
late years the college press has been q
fruitful source of revenue to its editors.
The Literary Magazine pays to each ed
itor from s14O to $3.50 a year. The
financial editor receives from $50 to
$19O. The News pays to each senior ed
itor from $3.50 to S275. and the financial
editor receives from 1926 to $3.50. The
Record and Courant ought to pay to each
senior editor $3.50 yearly. but often,
through poor management, barely covers
expenses. The Yale Banner clears TO the
publisher from $500 to $3.50, and The
Pot Pourri somewhat less than this sum

HORSES WITH HORSE SENSE.
The Animals Used on Street Cars
Know as Much as is Allowed.

Riding west on late Mr. Olson street
car last night was a young man who was
deeply interested in horses. He OBJ
served that they seemed in a tremendous
hurry; it was all the driver could do to
restrain them, and yet a tap of the bell
would instantly cause them to slacken
speed and stop.
"This must be the last trip" the
young fellow remarked inquiringly to
the driver.
"You bet it is, and them horses know
it rs we'll rs me-
"Do they ever forget their time to go
in."
"Forget? Not much. They begin
to prance and hustle the minute the
turn is made at the end of the lane, and
the run in is made ut gallop as far as
they're allowed"
mule could count fiye. DO you think
that's 500"
81 don't know about that, but 1
worked down ON farm where the
mules would make break for the house
without waiting to be unhitchcd the
minute they heard the dinner bell ring.
A mules mighty smart and stubborn,
too. If he makes up his mind to 60 to
dinner he just goes, and the little matter
of q plough and the boy hanging to him
is OF no consequence"
"Well, this Cincinnati driver told
me- the young man said, "that his
mules could count at least five. He
knew this because his mules would pass
the barn four times without noticing it,
but the fifth time they'd turn out. They
knew it was the end of their beat. He
said he had tried to whip them past the
barn, but they'd stop at the proper
place in spite of the LASH"
81 don't doubt it, for these horses
can count. They know that one ring of
this conductors bell means to stop, and
they begin to check up as quick rs the
signal is given. Two rings they know
means go ahead, and you can see for
yourself that when the conductor taps
the bell tw &C they move off without
sign from me-"
At the next crossing the bell was
tapped once and the horses began slack
ing speed. They had scarcely come to
a standstill when two sharp rings were
given and the horses bent to their work
right heartily. A few blocks further on
the conductor, in giving the signal to
Ego ahead, jerked the bell cord in such
a way that only one ring was sounded,
and to this the horses did not respond.
The driver had to urge them with voice
and lines before they showed any signs
of moving. 1t was also observed that
they slackened speed of their own ac-
cord at railroad crossings, at switches
and in rounding curves. The driver
himself was not more alert or CAREFUL

SHE GAVE UP HIS MONEY.
A Woman's Wit Saves n Fortune
but Puzzles n Man.

A woman's quick wit makes her, when
she has the courage to act upon it, n
years ago, in the DAYS when ''road
agents" abounded in Montana, n wo-
man was travelling by coach to join her
husband. One day fellow passenger
said to her:
II have 1000 in my pockctbook,
and 1 feel uneasy about the road agents.
Would you mind concealing it in your
dress, and returning it to me at the end
of your jOurneyl If the highwaymcn do
stop us they are less liable TO search you
than me"
She acceded to his request, hid the
money in her dress, and the stage drove
on without meeting road agent until
toward evening. Then the shout,
"Throw up your hands," was heard.
The driver promptly pulled up as four
men on horseback, with masked faces,
appeared in the road and covered him
with their pistols.
Two of the highwaymcn then rode to
each side of the coach and ordered the
passengers to give up their arms, which
they did promptly.
"Now shell OUT" said tho robbers.
The passengers handed out their
pocketbOoks; even the man who called
in the woman's aid gave up a few dol
lars.
He was congratulating himself upon
his caution, when he heard the woman
say in a quiet way:
II have got 81 200, but l suppose l
must give it up"
Suiting the action to the word, she
handed over the mans roll of green
lacks.
The robbers rode away, and then the
man gave expression to his feelings by
abusing the lady and accusing her of be-
traying his trust from sheer fright.
She smiled mysteriously.
"You will see, sir; but can't explain
now."
At the end of the journey she asked
him to stay all night at her house, and
said that her husband would be glad to
see him. &c
"Yes, ma'am, 1 will come to your
house." he answered in the tone of an
injured man; sits the least you can do,
ma'am, seeing that you have left me
without cent in the world.
At the lady's house he was treated as
distinguished guest, but neither host
nor hostess offered him one word of ex-
PLANTATION that night, and he went to
bed sad, irritated man.
The next morning as he entered the
dining room the host shook hands with
him and said:
"Here is your 81 900, sir, which my
wife ventured to borrow in an emer-
gency. She had $40, 900 which she was
bringing to me concealed in her dress
She thought by giving up at once the
81, 900 intrusted to her by YOU she would
save herself from being searched by the
robbers.
Her quick wit saved me from heavy
loss, and l am much obliged to you for
the use of the forced lOan."
Breakfast was far more cheerful
meal to the man than the supper of the
night before.-Youth's Companion.

THE face Of Attorney General Brew
ster was disfgured by burns received
when mere child in the rescue of his
baby sister from q fire. A newspaper
story, current few years ago, embodied
what purpOrted to be Mr.. Brewster's

ing the trial Of case had the bad taste
to allude to the marred features of his
opponent. Mr.. Brewster, in dignified
and simple language, told of faithful
nurse, wearied with untiring labors, who
fell asleep while holding little child;
the tired arms relaxed, the precious
burden fell on the hearth-and when the
little was saved the face of her rescuer

soap wort Saponaria oficinalis. common
in this country is known as Bouncing

Of plants that may lie used as q substi-
tute for soap is cutie large; the most i'm
pOrtaut of which is the soap bark tree
of Chill, where it is called "Quillai," or
"Cullai." The native name has been
taken for the botanical name of the tree,
which is Quilla "A Saponaria. The genus
Cuillaja belongs to the Rose family, and
five species are known, all South Ameri-
can; three are Chilian, one Peruvian,
and one Brazilian, the most important
being the Q. Saponaria of Chill, as its
bark is largely used in its own country,
and forms a considerable article of ex-
port. This is a large tree fifty to sixty
feet high, with evergreen leaves. and
usually small white flowers. Its bark,
which is rough without, internally con-
sists of light co.orcd layers, which con-
tain an abundance Of saponine, which
they readily impart to water, causing it
to lather in similar manner to soap.
The bark is in general use in Chill on
wash ng day, and is exported to other
countries. Ii is to be found in our city
drug stores, where 1t is in demand by
those who wish to use it for cleansing
silk materials. 1t is said to remove
grease and other spots, and to impart a
remarkable luster to wooden goods, and is
used as a wash for cleansing the hair.
