e. Gordon daughter Of DR.. J. A.Gordon,
professor Of English, was read, yester

ing. At joint meeting of the faculty
and students, the following resolution
was adopted: AS God in his providence
has taken home our highly esteemed
friend and pupil, Miss Lucy E. Gordon,
we, the faculty and students of the Oc-
eidental university, desire to express our
deep sympathy with DR.. Gordon and his
bereaved family and to offer words of

The young woman who SO acceptably
presides at the stamp window at the
postofice had the finn fam game
worked on her recently. A man pur-
chased some stamps and when his
change was handed out, said suddenly,
"Yon forgot to give me my twenty dollar
piece" In moment of confusion the
young woman placed piece OF that
denomination on the counter ;he grabbed
it and ran. The girl saw her mistake at
once and instructed bystanders to stop
the fellow, but no one interfered. The
case is peculiarly atrocious as the clerk
gets but small pay, has to work over
twelve hours day with no intermission
and supports an aged mother.
