shows that we have, no national sense

shortened their county names, but
their county names are tame prose

Besides, the English eabbreviation is
usually in the mere suppression of the

counties. The French iare never too
much in haste tortreat their gsograph-

majority Of these names are, much
longer than ours. The average Amer

.A College rresilent,s Reprtmana.

a Ff~
ri AM old. Bowdoin graduate says:
N. president Leonard Wood was .
capital man, whose great abilities did
much to build up the college, I well
remember severe reprimand which
he once gave me-. A crowd of us had
been round few evening before doing
up the Freshmen. You may be sure
we did our work-as was usually the
case in, those days--in. thorough
manner. Whether the others lied out
or bluffed their way out of the scrape
Ide not know-but / do know that |
Fappeared to be the only victim of the
examination. That evening I made
my way with fear and trembling to
the Presidents study. I found him
seated at his table engaged in examine
finga large book. He metioned me
10 a seat near him, and remarked
pleasantly: "Here Is book, MIR. w.,
in which / have been nconsiderably in
tterested, The, Arabian Nights Enter
tainment.pii The book was profusely
illustrated, and as I sat down the old
President began carelessly turning over
the leaves and talking uponoit. His,
iremarks nwere' intensely interesting
and entertaining, and as he went on I
became absorbed in his conversation
and quite forgot what I came for.
The President talked on say for fully
an hour and q half on that work
| in the same pleasant way. I began to
feel, however, that while had passed
the most delightful evening had EN-
joyed for a month, I was trespassing q
little too long upon the Presidents
time and patience. Perhaps some-
thing of this showed itself in my face,
for he suddenly ceased his talk on the
book, and turning to me said in the
most kindly tone: w, the Faculty
are very desirous of doing way with
this pernicious practice of hazing.
You were engaged in the rfOtous pro-
ceedings of "Wednesday night, and the
faculty have deemed it, best that I
should reprimand you. o. Therefore,
hyou may consider yourself reprimand-
cd. And ! bowed myself out, feeling
thatI could veil afford to receive a re-
primand for the sake of another
such a pleasant evening. st

ASSAILING THE KNIGHTS.
T.. B. Barry Resigns His Position and Savagely
Arraigns the Executive Board.
epecisi to the Indianapolis journal

epecial to the Indianapolis Journal
EAST SAGINAW, Mich, Oct CT. B. Barry.
member of the general executive board Of the
Knights of Labor, has sent q lengthy letter ad-
dnesed to the chairman and members of the
general executive board Of that body, resiening
his position as a member OF the board. In his
letter he scathingiy arraigns the administration
of the affairs Of the knights of Labor. He
says that he can no longer endure to be
q witness TO the many farces and deceptions
practiced upon the innocent masses; that he
finds to be one of the members o; the general
executive board il to be a party to a fraud that
leads the unthinking masses to social suffering
with nothing in return but promises never in.
tended 20 be kept. Mr.. Barry says he desires
to see the order live, but believes that it
10 impossible for it to survive another
and that these practices must cease il the order
is TO live. The chief qualifications. Mr.. Barry
asserte, for membership in the executive board
are fslsity. deception, aud to be able to tyrannize
over those whose only privilege is to bear as
to solve a social problem for ourselves
and our families by seeing that the salaries of
the board are paid. He charges the board with
dischargine Knights of Labor employed in tho
general offices and putting in their places
persons who were not members of the order.
Instead of calling the general offices Of the
knights of Labor the Headquarters of United
Labor" it would be more appropriate, Mr.. Barry
declares. to call 1t the Luxurious Home of
Rats" He charges the board with chiefly being
engaged in crushing the districts or individuals
in the order who dared to ~criticise its acts,
and declares he would nave exposed the meth
eds of the board at the Richmond convention,
had lie not been called away. and also the spy
system it practiced upon the Representatives of
the order assembled there. when all persons
suspected of being upfavorable to the board were
numbered. in order that the spies might pick
them out the more easily. dog their footsteps
and learn tneir sentiments toward the board.
Mr.. Barry also intimates that the spies were
paid out OF the funds OF the order.
The executive board is also charged with de-
ceiving the order by an incorrect report Of the
proceedings Of the MINNEAPOLIS assembly and
publishing only so much of the proceedings as
were satisfactory TO the board.
