A College Scapegoat.

In after life the late DR.. S. G..
Howe often expressed his regret
that he had wasted his time while in
college, and explained how it hap
pened that he became the ringleader
in fun and frolic. His explanation
suggests that all who are educators
of youth should heed the inspired
words: Charity suffereth long, and
is kind; isnot easily provoked; think
eth no evil; believeth all things,
hopeth all things"
He discovered before he had been
many months in college that he was
suspected of all the mischief there,
when in fact but a small part of it
was his. His truthful denials were
disregarded, and he was made the
college scapegoat
The faculty's suspicion tempted
him to keep UP his reputation, and he
determined that as he had the name
he would have the game. A little
timely advice and kindly treatment,
and more than all little confidence
in his word, would have corrected
his foibles and made student of the
practical joker. Youths Compan-

william Corbett.s Grammar.

1t has been said of Corbett that he
wrote an English grammar which
was las entertaining as q novel. p"
And this is nothing more than the
literal truth. In fact many novels
are harder to read than Corbett's
grammar. The full title of the book
is: "A grammar of the English Ian
guage in a series OF letters; intended
for the use of schools and of young
persons in general, but more especial
ly for the use of soldiers, sailors, ap-
prentices and plowboys. By Viii
liam Corbett. To which are added
six lessons, intended to prevent states
men from using false grammar, and
from writing in an awkward man.

From its sarcastic title page to the
end of the 230 pages of which it is
composed, every sentence in the book
tingles and vibrates with the strong
personality Of the writer. But the
purpose with which tho book was
written is never lost sight of. 1t is
an orderly simple and humorous
treatise, displaying strong common
sense and sound judgment.-Temple

Charles s. Nelson, a painter, liv-
ing in Chicago, is tho owner of one
of the most unique timepieces that
has ever found its way to America.
1t is a snl II sized watch of peculiar
shape g ! curious construction. How
old it is no one knows, but it is be-
lieved to he one of the first prcduc-
tons of the Matchmaking fraternity.
1t is smaller in circumference than
the average watch of the present
day, but it is also about three times
the thickness of a WGltham or an
Elgin of equal size. The case is of
pure silver, and it is constructed ON
the open faced plan. 1t has two
dials, one within the other. The
outer one tells the minutes, hours,
the days of the week, the month and
the day of the month. On the inner
dial are pictures representing the
sun, the moon, the earth and the
planets, each dial being furnished
with a separate set of hands ami
pointers.
As night advances apace the sun
begins to darken, while the moon and
the stars begin TO shine and twinkle
with a peculiar white light. How or
by what means the sun is made to
darken at the right time and the
moon and the stars to shine is un-
known, electricity having not been
discovered at the time the watch was
wade, now nearly 200 years ago

A Remarkable Clock.

Japan possesses remarkable time
piece. 1t is contained in a frame
three feet wide and five feet long,
representing monday landscape of
great beauty. In the foreground
plum and cherry trees and rich
plants appear in full bloom; in the
rear is seen hill, gradual in ascent,
from which apparently flows a cas-
cade, admirably initiated in crystal
From this point threadhke stream
meanders, encircling rocks and is
lands in its windings, and finally
losing itself in a faroff stretch of
woodland.
In a miniature sky a golden sun
turns on silver wire striking the
hours on silver gongs as it passes.
Each hour is marked on the frame
by a creeping tortoise, which serves
the place of a hand. A bird of ex-
quisite plumage MARBLES at the close
of each hour, and as the song ceases
a mouse sallies forth from a neigh
boring grotto, and scampering over
the hill to the garden is soon lost to
view.-Iron.

there was a rattle above her head as

that the doorbell wire ran through

There was look of triumph on her

it was fully ten minutes before the

another trip to the door.
The people in the second fat
seemed to be troubled when the man
came back and, after council of
war he crept quietly down the stairs
again and waited just inside the door,
while the others took positions at the
top Of the stairs, where they could
see the fun. Ten or fifteen minutes
tired them all, and with the remark,
well, l guess those kids are not

stairs. AS he did so the boys spirits
overcame him again, and he gave
war whoop and tried to turn hand

The little woman in the flat below
promptly jerked the cane again, the
bell tinkled, and the man on the
stairs rushed down, threw the door
open and chased the boy who hap

made the noise, and as he tried to
illustrate his remarks the little wom-

cane again.
There was a wild scramble down

Then, tightening his belt. he dropped upon

upon the ground in front Of him, proceeded
deliberately 10 crawl into the den of the
bears.
And then the silence was broken, senior.
II was broken. first, by a shot, for Ramon

hrst bear had bullet behind its ear as il
slept before his approach had been noted.
1here was loud sn0Tting and a crashing

thirst for blood upon him-tke thirst for
blood awakened and satiated and awakened
again. Then there was another hot and

Again the horse, far below in the CANYON,

Then once more there was a crashing Of

grass came to where he stood, touching the
close barrier of brush that shut in the land
and, even as he stood there, his good horse.
worn and weary, stopped its head to crop
such feed as it had not known for months.
IL was g0odly land. Here and there,
upon the low, rolling hills, a live oak spread
its shade upon the grass; and, even as be
looked, half dozen deer, disturbed for the
cover and went bounding over the slopes, to
disappear in some side canyon, and to sand,
great eyed and shiverinR, to watch the ac-
lions Of the foe they had known from birth,
yet had never seen.
The beauty Of it all was borne in upon
him, and the silence-but he did not listen
long. Ramon Ortega is practical man.
Turning his horse he rode back down
through the brush, his rawhide chapperejos
shielding him from its sharp points, and
within week he had broken trail through
and established his camp down by the run
ming stream and had his cattle feeding upon
the rich grasses of PotrerO la Carpa.
But Ramon found evil in his paradise.
We all do. senior, sooner or later. Perhaps
that Is why the human heart must lie be-

evil enough, Madre de Dios, yesl when the
bears take yearing week, and when not

TO be driven away from good pasture by
bears. Good pasture is scarce enough at the
best Of times. 1t is to be doubly treasured
when il is found in dry year-and man
can always fight. Who fights wins In this
world, senior. even against bears.
And SO it came that Ramon, when
his camp was well settled, and when ne had
leisure to look about him-and, too, after
half dozen yearlings had been found lying
dead here and there upon the range, with
foreqaarter or hind one partly eaten away

The only thing to be done was 10 stop and

be assaiIed by the hungry prowl-

seen In the darkness. Building a
fire around their wounded comrade,
Martin and Gesford prepared to repulse
any attack by their four-footed foes.
Presently. however, something seemed to
stampede the animals. for they ran pell-
