A sslf.Possessed Prossssos.

There is no man at Cornell University
about whom better stories are told
than Professor Hiram Corson, the
Shakespearean student and professor
of English literature, says the N. Z.
Sun. He has peculiarly slow. drawl-
ing manner Of speaking. II happened
not 80 very long ago that Ithaca was
visited by a very high wind that came
up suddenly during the night. blowing
down trees. tearing of the roofs OF
houses and cutting up such other capers
as are the usually accorded privileges
of high wind.
The professor was living In Casca-
dilla. the big dormitory. The first In
timation he and his wife had Of the
hurricane was when one OF the big
stone chimneys was blown over and
went crashing down through tho sky
lights. The professors wife was in an
agony of terror, and, getting up from
bed. began to make hasty preparations
for leaving the building. all the while
beseeching her husband. who had not
yet stirred, to come out and assist.
All at once. with frightful noise, the
great tin roof of the budding was torn
Of BY the wind. With scream Mrs
Corson said to her complacent spouse:
s'Oh, Hiram, come. do come. The
last day has surely come"
And the only response she got w0
the drawing inquiry:
Whist, in the night?"

An Interesting old Man.

There Is living in Bolivar, Pa. an old
gentleman named William Reese, who
was born in England on June Is. 1878,
says the Medical Record. He has al
ways enjoyed excellent health. the only
Illness that he can recall being slight
attack of sciatica q few years ago. HIS
hearing Is impaired. but his eyesight ID
still good, and he can read without the
aid Of glasses. He was always very
temperate in every way. having made
It rule to rise from the table unsatis-
fed, and although he Is a pretty con-
slant smoker. his method is to 60 out
on the porch for a few whiffs and then
return to his seat at the fireside. He
Is very interesting old man to talk
with. and steadily declines all assist
ance but that OF his cane in going
about. His father and grandfather are
both said to have lived to be over a
hundred years old, and his mother also
had passed the century line at the
time Of her death. He has had five
sons and five daughters, all of whom
lived to maturity. but the special
strength of constitution seems to have
been inherited only in the male line.
Of the sons but one il dead. and he
was killed in the war, while of the
daughters three are dead. one from
phthisis, another from cancer of the
breast and the third from ovarian cyst.

KNOCKED 4 CORPSE ON The HEAD.
4 Practical coke Played b. Uaivsrsity
gtudsn3s.


Some years ago . well-known char
acter In West Philadelphia named
Patrick Bradley kept . saloon on
Woodlawn avenue. opposite the ani-
versity. Pat was notorious tor the
en3tm0us quantity Of liquors that he
lnbibed, Id consequences 0f which he
had arrived at that statS which IN the
slang ,,,4s.. tsrmI n the DAY = known .
The principal patrons Of his saloon
were the medical students Of the uni
versity, and they rendered bis lie
miserable By making him the brunt
III many practical foxes; Shortly be-
fore bis death they played such {
ghastly joke upon him that he never
forgave them and never again allowed
one Of them In his place.
One stormy night three Southern
students procured . corpse which had
not felt the keen edge OF the scalpel.
They dressed 1t Id al old suit Of clothes
and shrreptitiously took 1t out 6f thu
dissectingsroom: When they entered
Bradley's saloon two Of them were sup
porting yhat would have passed for d
drunken man. while the third was exs
horting the others to brace up. Pat
was Just in the condition suitable for
their purpose. having arrived at the
stage In which it would have been inn
possible for him to have told the differ
ence between drunken man and .
lamp-post. Propping their helpless
companion up against the bar they or
dered four drinks. After the three
students had drank theirs they made
some excuse and left the house.
For some time Pat paid no attention
TO the figure thst leaned In such help
less way against the bar. but 1t finally
dawned on his foggy mind that tho
drinks had not been paid for. Lean
ing over the bar he demanded from his
silent companion the price Of the
liquor. Receiving no reply, he reiter-
ated the demand, and, Of course, got
still no answer. Pat began to grow
angry and visions o. the many tricks
that had been played upon him by the
students came across his mind, and he
determined that he would not be done
out Of the drinks. Reaching under the
bar he got short club, and. coming
out from behind his stronghold, no
said, in his rich Milesian brogue:
Now. pay me for those drinks like
q gentleman, and don't be standing
there like wooden man.
The silence that followed only served
to enrage him the more. and he shouted
out, III you don't pay me I'll knock
your blamed head orr True to his
word. when the seeming drunken man
made no movement TO produce his
money. Pat drew back his arm and
struck the corpse on the head. The
body fell to the floor, and at the same
instant the door burst open and the
three students, who had been on the
lookout for some such dcnouement,
rushed in and accused Pat Of murder
ing their companion. Pat was as
founded when be felt the cold pulse Of
the corpse. In the imminence Of bis
danger for arrest for murder his ready
wit, however. did not desert him. He
instantly said: "Ye are liars; I hit
him in self-defense. He pulled knife
on me. '-Phitad<!phio Times.
