Out from the bathrooms heated circles
To the moonlit-nooded air.
She IL princess, iewel-ladsn,
And he is a priest, tonight;
And their hands have touched in the mad mini
dances
Under the blazing light.
The eyes she hath, they are full Of spiendor,
And he has Will that is strong;
The hair she hath, 1t is like the sunlight,
And voice that is like song.
Oh, is IL strange that priest should wander
Under the stars Of light
With fair young princess, roeod In laces,
Nor heed the hours in highti
oh, 10 it strange he should whisper phrases
That never said priest before
Phrases, forsooth, that were never uttered
In the pages Of priestly lore
Their hands have touched in the shadowy star
light,
Loves story is told again.
oh, is il the Joy Of loves dear passion,
Or only dream of pain
Why should care that priest should wander
Under tho stars OF night
With fair young princess, jewel-laden,
Far from the blazing light
What matters 1.-THE love that hc gives her
He with his will so strong;
She with her eyes Of dreamy splendor,
And her voice that is like a songi
Only this-that their shadows haunt me,
In the starlit golden glow;
And feel the love in my own heart swelling
With its passionate ebb and flow.
Only this-that they bring me mem'ries
OF lovers who never meet
OF pain, and a sorrowful tragedy woven
Into n romance sweet.
Only this that pity the lovers
With their kisses and tender sishs;
For the busy world has no time for romance,
And love Is a thing that dies.

The search light hitherto used on
American warships is very heavy
apparatus, made in France, weighing
about 1000 pounds, and costing &c.,
900. The new search light weighs
only about 100 pounds, is of about A.
600 candle power, and costs $780,
One man can easily handle it. and the
light is concentrated in parallel rays,
instead of being diffhsed over a wide
area, as in those previously used. At
the distance Of half a mile, on clear
nights, buoys can be plainly seen, aud

1t is claimed that the light will pene-

ALUMNI AT N
The Annual Occasion for Oratory
and Fraternal Sentiment.

The annual diuner of the alumni as
ISOLATION was held last evening at the
Ryan. The inclemency of the weather
necessarily made the attendance rather
smaller than it otherwise would have
been. The POSTMASTER of the evening
was E. j. Hodgson, Of st. Paul. The
after dinner programme was opened
with music by the Hamline Univer-
sity Glee club, which was present
on Invitation. The first sentiment
responded to was that of 1.-The Ladies'"
and the speaker was E. A, Montgomery,
of the class of 'SS. MIR. Montgomery
made a happy little speech, and was
heartily. %applauded by both gentlemen
and ladies. Other tOastS were: palma

Fett; "Edueatiqn a QqalifiGation
"Outlook for Hamllne," President G.
Fl. Bridgman. Mr.. Hoyt in his toast
said that the greatest question of to-day
is how to reform the ballot. He further
said that without securing the educa-
ton of. the masses the country would
never be safe, and he believed that the
question of compulsory education would
be met and settled, and upon
the same basis as the citizens
of Wisconsin are enforcing it,
DR.. Bridgman in his address spoke of
the wonderful growth which Hamline
has had in the past year. She was
never, he said, in a better financial on
ditiOn. The number of her students
the past year double those of former
years, and he closed by p%icturing a
bright future for Hamline university.
At a short business session the follow
ing officers of the association were
elected: President. Prof. A. u. Drew;
vice president, Mr.. Eberman; secretary,
Miss Sadie Higgins; treasurer, E. A.
Montgomery.

Sneak Thieves in Disguise.

The most dangerous of the sneak
thief class of robber is the one who plies
his or her vocation under the disguise
of responsibility. The prejudice against
peddlers has made their old methods
for stealing improbable. Some of them
are now working through the aid OF a
corps of young women, who are going
from house to house disguised as baking
powder testers. The respectable ap-
pearance of the women, and the plaus-
ible way in which they state their al,
legged Grand, disarms the suspicion OF
the housewife. and their visit to the kit
chen, when they are admitted, affords
them an opportunity to secrete about
their garments many loose articles OF
value.
Several recently reported cases of
sneak thief robbery in houses visited by
these alleged baking powder testers has
caused prude mt housekeepers to close
their doors upon the band who are in
fiicting their presence upon this COM
munity.

mathematical problems. Prof. Thomp-
son.. who is the able professor of Latin
at Hamline, wa presentedwith a we'll
thumbed book and a tin horse-bOth
''ponies," the one-sided appearance of
the latter being alleged to be due to the
fact that its riders had all used side
saddles. The cat "Moses" together
with a glittering knife, n of the tro-
phieS of the class, was handed over to
the tender mercies of DR.. Os-
borne. Owing to the propen-
siSy which DR.. Osborne has developed
in largest degree of investigating
the brain and spinal column OF every
live thing that comes into his hands the
fate of "MOses" may be imagined.
Each of the three classes received some
laughable bequest, the very funniest
being the one given to the juniors. 1t
was a small glObe-representing, OF
course, the earth-which the juniors
have long seemed 10 want, surrounded
by a high picket fence, and to more Sc
cureIy guard it, bound about with coil
upon coil of barbed wire. This fitting
token was received with becoming gray
lty by the dignifed president of the
CPS, and amid a perfect shout of laugh
ter the programme ended, and the eXer-
cises of class day were over. The COM
mencement exercises proper will occur
this afternoon in the university chapel
at 2 O'Clock.

The Annual Alumni ASSOcia-
ton Dinner at the Ryan
Last Night.

Field day at Hamline university was
as cool and delightful as even the most
ardent lover of outdoor sports could
wish. There was just enough of shadow
from the Swift-flYing clouds over head
to render the sunlight agreeable in the
intervals, and to prevent the ardent
gaze Of the sun from giving the eager
faces of the college girls too bright a
crimson, or bringing in too great pro-
fusion that terror to all feminine hearts
-freckles. All the morning there was
a steady breeze from the south, which,
though perhaps a trife too u~ngentle
for perfect comfort, kept the leaves
gaily dancing, and ribbons n white
gems in a picturesque futter.
From the first the enthusiasm of the
spectators was marked. The contest
ants at the start were greeted with an
inspiring hurrah, and the winner was
urged on to the goal amid a perfect
chorus of cheers, waving of handker-
chiefs and clapping of hands. The pro-
gramme commenced promptly at 8
O'Clock, and by noe Field day was a
a thing of the past, saving only two ten
mis- games. which occur this morning at
9 o'clock. Following is a list of the
games and their winners:

called at a bank to get the cash on a

The man went out and brought some

money was handed over. Three days
later the teller dropped in for lunch at
the new restaurant. He had taken a
seat and given his order, when the pro-
prietor approached him and said:

Land Where Mosquitoes Thrive.
st. Louis Republic.
A citizen of st. Louis was In Florida
for his health, Not being strong. he
had a negro named Joe, who went
around and assisted him when neces-
sary. There are mosquitoes in Florida,
and the st. LouiSan was complaining
one day about their number.
"Dat amt nuthing, bosS,'' said the
negro servant Joe; "down i'll de swamp
dey is terrible; dey is as big as galley
nippers. and wo! won't dey bite"
On arriving there they were con-
WINGED. Mosquitoes half as big as spar
rows swarmed about them IN clouds.
''Joe," said the st. Louisan, a bright
thought striking him, ''how much
would you take to lie down on the
ground here, naked, for ten minutes
and let these gallinippers bite your"
Don't know, boss" said Joe with a
shudder.
'Will you do it for a dollar?"
"Well I'll try it. boss" returned the
negro. and in a few minutes he was
down on his stomach, as bereft of cloth
ing as when he was born.
The sun was shining with terrible
force, the thermometer being over a
hundred in the shade. Joe had hardly
settled himself when the mosquitoes
swooped down OH him with wild and
bloodthirsty songs, and began a feast.
Meanwhile one of the gentlemen was
holding the watch.
The st. Louisan quickly drew a sun
glass from his pocket, and, getting a
focus, proceeded to blister Joe's back in
fine style. In a few moments it vas

Joe how he felt.
"Well, boss" said Joe. gasping, II
don't mind the gallinippers. but, boss,
please kill that wasp what is sticking

OF INTEREST TO ATHLETES.

says:
81 have found it imperative to have
sure and simple remedies on hand in
case of cuts, bruises, strains, sprains,
colds. rheumatism, etc. Shortly after
entering upon my profession in this
country, | discovered such a remedy in
ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. l tried
other plasters, but found them too harsh
and irritating.
ALLCoCK'S Porous PLAsTERs give
almost instantaneous relief, and their
Strengthening power is remarkable. l
have cured scores of students and
friends of sore Threats and colds by the
application of these plaSterS on the
throat and chest. | had a pupil who
contracted a severe cold which settled
on his kidneys. | placed two plasterS
that in six hours he was entirely we'll.
In cases of weak back put two plasters
on the small of the back, and in a short
time you will be capable of quite severe
exercise. In '%'Sprint" and distance"
races and jumping, the muscles or ten
dOnS in the legs and feet sometimes
weaken. This can invariably be re-
lieved by cutting the plaster in narrow
strips, so as to give free motion, and APP
plying on muscles affected.
l have used ALLCOCK'S PLASTERS
successfully IN walking matches, when
the legs became tired and swollen with
over-eXertion, by covering the impor-
tant muscles with them.
1t is my unreserved %opinion-an
opinion formed after considerable ex
perience that ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs are a most efficacious and
valuable remedy"

deceived by Misrepresentation. Ask
or explanation induce you to accept a
substitute.

Salem Witch.

Sdl6m WllCA.
There are some feelings, innocent
enough in themselves, which, nevertbe-
less, a man does not like to express in
so many words. If he must acknowl-
edge them, he prefers to do it Indirectly,
not taking a straight course, but, as the
old saying is, going ''round Robin
Hoods barn."
The captain of Company G. Twelfth
Vermont regiment. was strolling in the
woods just out of camp, when he came
upon a member of his company sitting
on the stump of a tree, and looking as
though he had fought his last fight.
"What's the matter, Bill?" asked the
captain.
":Oh, nothing" was the reply. 81 am
all right"
"You look as though you had a fit of
inconsistencies"
"No, sir" said Bill, with some re-
sentiment, nothing of the sort"
well. what are you thinking about?'
asked his questioner.
~ was thinking" said the Yer
monter. that l wished l was in my
fathers barn."
I'm your fathers barnl What on
earth would you do if you were in your
fathers barn?"
The poor fellow uttered a long-drawn
sigh and said, ''T'd go into the house
mighty quick"
