he did. The fellow looked them up. went
In and drew that very paper, and came out
triumphant
But that proved a very mild case when
the others came up. 1t seems that In one
examination at Yale some years ago in
Latin, one fellow, who was very shaky,
put his own iuterlined text book into his
overcoat pocket, and entered the room. He
was called 70 the desk. and the tutor
gave him q text book, Of course not inter
lined. He showed it into his other pocket,
walked slowly back to his seat, drew out
his own book from his pocket, and was all
prepared. After reciting, before the tutor
could call for the book, he absent mindedly
thrust it back into his pocket, and turned
away. Being asked for the book he apollo
gized, hauled out the other one, and re-
tired.
I Once in alumni hall at Yale shaky stu
dent who couldn't bear to part with his
class discovered in advance a knothole in
the floor He secured the desk by that
hole. Pretty soon he had the misfortune
to drop his pencil. Bending over for it he
showed his examination paper down
through the knothole. Fellows in waiting
in the cellar ran off with it, filled out pa

and on returning signaled to him. This
time he had the misfortune to knock lot

He got down and conscientiously picked
everything up. including the relief papers
that came up through the knothole.
At another time where papers were
drawn one fellow drew two by sleight Of
hand process, passed on one, surrendered
it and went out. Then he gave the extra
one to lame friend, who Mt Once cram

his paper and calmly substituted the one
he knew, passing we'll on it aud carrying
away for what might be termed outdoor
relief the paper that he drew. This was
kept going all day and worked well.
Another fellow, illustrating alike the

the professor. having practically no knowl

that, instead of being thirty six questions,
there was good deal of repetition. Know
