He Kept His Youth.

There was one man in New London
before the college boat races had ended
who was refreshing treat to those who
were in the Connecticut town. He had
a son who was rowing in one of the big
university boats, and he was an example
of the paternal college spirit which may
grow old, but which seldom dies. Here
was a man sixty years old, who spent
three weeks in New London following
college oarsmen from one end of the
town to the other. You might see him
with a couple of young men whose arms
were locked in his. No years could rob
him of the sentiment which hung around
his memory of his college days.
He was an Undergraduate again with
the undergraduates who were classmates
of one of his sons. Whenever he saw Il
college man whom he knew, whether the
youngster were 100 or 500 yards away,
the old man would hurry off, crying
after the other, "Halloa, old man, wait
minute" That college boy forty years
graduate was one Of the most popular
men to be found near the famous old
four mile course on the historic Thames
New York Tribune.

Cows Motherly Love Betray's Her Calf.
In a pasture on a farm in East Hart
ford, recently, one of the cows had calf
which no one Of the farm hands was
able to find the day after its birth. A
search proved failure until some one
suggested a novel scheme. 1t was to
bring dog into the lot, when, in all
probability, the COW would return to her
calf to defend it. The dog was brought,
ami sore enough the COW started for a
clump OF bushes, and among them the
calf was found, where the leaves had
concealed it.-Hartford Courant.

demanded from his mother money they sup

her fathers money was. The child refused
to tell him, whereupon the ruffian took her
out into the yard and cut her throat with a
knife. Going back he took five-year-old

killed both in the same manner, and piled
the bodies together. The miscreants then
