A Students Stratagem.

A party of us had been out on New
Years night, tearing off gates, pulling
down signs and otherwise disporting
ourselves after the manner Of college
youth the world over. We had
brought about a cord of broken store
signs up to Jim Martins room, and
were burning them in his big fireplace.
The ceremonies were at their height
when two or three professors raped
on the door for admission.
Something had to be done, as it
would never do to let in the professors
and those broken evidences of our
guilt around.
Jack Nesbit, now a state senator
in Nebraska, was equal to the pinch,
however.
1t was a rule of the college that no
professor should be denied entrance to
room unless the occupant was engag-
ed in prayer. In event Of the present
progress of this religious exercise, the
professor was made to await until the
"amen" and could in nowise complain.
At the first rap Nesbit broke into
prayer.
In a loud, sonorous tone he sought
mercy for himself and companions, he
prayed for grace in behalf of the col
lege, the professors, singly and in a
body, the students by name individu-
ally, and in bulk, as well as every
attache of the place, to the small per-
son who cleaned knives and forks in
the kitchen. Then government and
nation came in for their share, the
president and his pressing needs we're
named, all the departments and Offices
of State; when they we're exhausted,
all the states were interceded for.
After this Jack crossed oyer to
Europe, and beginning with England,
related The necessities of each govern
ment. From there he went to Asia,
to Africa, then to Sonth America,
and so on, until he was drifting
among the islands which dot the
southern seas. Meanwhile the rest
of us turned strokers and crowded
the signs into the fireplace.
Just as Jack was landing at Auck-
land. the last splinter went up in the
smoke and the disguised professors
were let in. The prayer must have
been an hour long, and, as the teach
ers fled in, Nesbit closed with some
quotations from st. Mark which refer
to those "who, seeking sign. shall
find not it."-Kansas City Star.

She was a tidy-looking girl of rs,
but rather overdressed and bit too
vain. She took Madisen-ave. car
at Fourteenth ST., and as she sat down
it was noticed that she carried one
glove loose in her hand. This was to
display the four rings on fingers of
that plump and pretty member. The
gloves were not quite 40 rods long
and they did not have quite 100 but
tons each. They came as near it as
fashion demands, however, and the
girl looked pleased and satisfied. She
had been riding less than FIVE min
utes when she suddenly stood up and
motioned for the car to stop, and>half
minute later was out Of sight.
Then it was noticed that she had left
the glove on the seat and a boy about
six years of age eyed it attentively for
a few seconds and then whispered to
his mother beside him loud enough
for all to hear:
"Ma! ma! She's gone of and for
got one of her stockings !"-Detroit
Journal.

The Lift As It Is Lifted In The Old
Country.

London may not be provided with
elevators on anything like the scale
that New York is," said man who
spent his vacation abroad, "but / saw
lift there the like of which 1 do
not believe exists in this country. l
entered an Office building in London,
which was not far from the Bank of
England, to see friend who was on
the top floor. In the corridor l saw
a number of boxes following one an
other up one shaft and down another.
They were attached to an endless
chain and we're large enough to hold
sew eral persons.
81 looked at the machine in some
doubt, when suddenly a man stepped
out of one of the boxes, or cars, which
was coming down. The car, which
was going at what seemed to be a
rapid rate of speed, did not stop, the
man jumping off it while it was in
motion. Pretty soon / saw other
men jumping in and out of the cars,
which were about as far apart on the
endless chain as the distance from
floor to floor. l at first hesitated
about risking my limbs and life on
the contrivance, but finally stepped
into an ascending car just before its
bottom was on a level with the floor.
"No sooner had l done this than l
began to get afraid that might be
crushed to death between the car and
floor or ceiling when tried to drop
off. Of a sudden it struck me that l
did not get off at the top floor l would
be carried to the roof, and then be
stood on my head in the car as it
turned over. was in perfect fever
of anxiety, and could hardly screw up
my courage to the point of alighting,
but / managed to do this when the
top floor was reached. / found that
it was much easier to get out than /
had supposed, and when had finished
my call l boldly rode down on the
machine.
81 afterward learned that a man
who did not get out of an ascending
car at the top floor would be in no
danger of being turned upside down
at the top of the shaft, because the
car always maintains its upright
position. This is due to the fact that
only the roof of the car is fastened to
the cable. SO the car always remains
bottom downward by its own weight.
A lift like this may be economical,
as it does away with the men to run
it, but I myself much prefer the safe
American machine. New York
Tribune.

"The mate has been drunk all day."
Next day the mate was on deck

"Yes, sir; bat it dosen't seem nec-

"Well," said the captain, "since it

The next day the captain had oc-

end OF the entry which the mate had
made, was found this item:
"The captain has be en- sober all

The captain summoned the mate

One of Chicago's social stars has
the reputation ofbeing cold and haugh.
ty and "snobbish" with those who do
not like her, while those favored with
close acquaintance say it is only
mannerism. Be it mannerism or
snobbishness, the star prefers never
to know people outside of her own in
dividual "set," and lives up to these
rules as much as possible, even carry
ing out where accepting invitations
to large receptions that embrace
numerous sets.
One time, at large reception, not
so very long ago, the wife of very
prominent man who had been spend
ing her time abroad for several years
met this exclusive star for the frst
time since her return.
Having known her intimately in
the years before, she went up to her
in the most cordial way and, holding
out her hand, said:
"How do you do, Mrs. -. l am
very glad to see you"
"Mrs. - stared at her in the
coldest manner for an instant, and
finally said:
Madame, you have the advantage
of me-"
This lady, whose social position is
unquestioned by right Of birth and
marriage, flushed, and then said very
quietly:
"Yes, think l have-by birth, by
education and socially."-Chicago
