A woMAN's
How a Plucky Girl Vanquished a Crowd
of College Students.

1t was in the autumn of 188- that the
Dartmouth College sophomores, having
Just got over being freshmen, decided
that the new freshmen were rising above
their places in a way that wa intoler-
able, and that a concerted system of
hazing must be inaugurated to even
things up. One Of the chief objects of
sophomore wrath was Gilbert Smith, a
big, good natured fellow, who calmly re-
fused to recognize in a sophomore any
thing superhuman. This Smith lived IN
the large farmhouse on the road to Lyme.
A few of the more daring sophs got to-
gether and voted to raid the farm house
and instruct Smith a little.
1t was a black, chilly night when the
band of regulators crept up the Lyme
road toward the Smith farm house. 1t
was as black in the house, except one
window, from which a light cleaned, as
if to welcome friends instead Of enemies.
With no particular compunctio S, how
ever, the sophomoreS, after drawing over
their heads masks made of shirt sleeves,
stamped up to the porch and without
knocking filed into the sitting-room
where Jennie Smith sat reading alone.
Anyone who has ever seen a shirt-sleeve
mask will understand that the fendish
sight made the girls pretty eyes fill with
terror. But while asking what they
wanted n as steady a tone as she could
command she knew what the answer
would be.
"Where's your brother Gill;" was the
gruff chorus.
what do you want him for?'
"To teach him better manners" came
the sepulchral reply.
He is sick in the next room," said
the girl, pleadingly. "You would not
touch a sick man, would your"
Had the expletive "RatsI" then been
invented the students would have used it
unanimously. AS it was they in various
other ways expressed their conviction
that the sickness was an invention to
shield the big freshman, and they pro-
ceeded toward the chamber door with
the evident intention of opening it.
Che young girl, with blazing cheeks
and flushing eyes, went over to the door
and stood there to bar the way.
"Stopl" she commanded, with both
arms uplifted, as if to ward off the whole
world from the sick man within. LAe
students, still disbelieving the story of
illness, though thoroughly admiring her
bravery, pressed a little nearer, and one
made as if to open the door. Quick as a
fash the g RI caught a big cavalry saber
from the wall where it hung and lunged
savagely at the masked figures. This
time they fell back, but not before the
cloth over the face of the foremost was
dyed with blood from a cut in the cheek.
This ended the hazing, for the boys val
iantly begged her pardon and marched
back to Hanover lost in admiration.

was not Jennie Smith, wears a saber

1T WASN'T ANGELS HE HEARD.

1t was a sad scene. The old man lay
on his bed, and by him sat the faithful
wife, holding his worn hand in hers, and
and forcing back the tears to greet his
wandering look with a smile. She spoke
words of comfort and hope. But he felt
the cold hand falling upon him and he
turned his weary eyes up to the pale, wan
face.
"Jennie, dear wife, I am going"
ooh, no, John, not yet, not yet"
eyes, dear wife," and he closed his
eyes; the end is near. The world grows
dark about me There is a mist around
me gathering thicker and thicker, and
there, al through a cloud, hear the music
of a~ngels-sweet and sad"
"No, no, John, dear; that isn't angels;
that's the brass band on the corner"
WHAT said the dying man, "have
those scoundrels dared to come around
here when they know I'm dying? Give
me my boot-jack. I'll let EN- see."
And in a towering rage the old man
jumped from his bed, and before his wife
could think he had opened the window
and SHE'D the boot-jack at the band.
i've hit that Dutch leader, anyway
And he went back to bed and got well

MANS FLATTERY OF WOMAN.

I would also advise young women not
to depend for happiness upon the batteries
of men. It is a poor compliment to your
sex that so many men feel obliged in your
presence to offer unmesning compliments.
Men capable of elegant and elaborate con-
~versation elsewhere sometimesfeel called
upon at the door of the drawing-room to
drop their common sense and to dole out
sickening batteries. They say things
about your dress, and about your appear
ance that you know, and they know, are
false. They say you are an angels. You
know you are not. They tell you that
"you are looking singularly beautiful
this evening" when you know very vel!
that the remark is only a commonplace
one. Some men think that a converse
ton with a woman is interesting only as
it is dotted and spiced with batteries and
meaningless compliments. Determined
to tell the truth in Office, and store, and
shop, they consider it honorable t. lie to
a m The same thing that they told
you on this side of the drawing room,
three minutes ago they said to some one
on the other side of the drawing-room.
Oh, let no one trample on your self-re-
spect. The meanest thing on which a
woman can build her happiness is the
batteries of men.-Rev. T. De Wit Tai
mage, In March Ladies' Home Journal.
