The college fraternities bind men to-
gether for life in ties that are never
broken. think you VIII be surprised
to know some Of our leading men who
belong to them, and still in their busy
later years take great delight in assisting
to keep up the organizations and the old
spirit. Associations or chapters Of grad
uate members of the fraternities are
maintained in New York city by fifteen
Of the orders, and some Of the clubs are
in furnishing condition. Alpha Delta
Phi has club house near Columbia col
lege, and the Manhattan chapter Of this
order keeps up q summer camp at Lake
George, called Camp Manhattan. The
Beta Theta ri fraternity has summer
resort at Lake Chautauqua called woog-
lin. The D. K. E. order has the largest
graduate club in the United States in
this city, with q fine clubhouse and an
excellent restaurant.
Several other of the clubs do not own
their houses. but rent quarters. There
are good many papers devoted to these
associations printed in this city. know
of The Palm. of Alpha Tau Omega; the
Chi Phi Quarterly, the Delta Kappa
Epsilon Quarterly, and the Delta Upsi-
Ion Quarterly. The first college fra
ternity flag ever unfurled to the wind
was run up on the top of the Aster House
in 1870 by the boys of the Theta Delta
Chi. 1t was black, white and blue, and
since that time nearly all the fraternities
have adopted flags showing their colors.

Sent Her LoYe.

1t would be difficult to select the more
beautiful of the two women. The one who
stood near the door in street dress WAS a
queenly creature and very magnificent in
deed, but the other, sitting carelessly upon
the divan, the outlines Of the figure half
hidden, half revealed by Greek gown, ex-
celled in sweetness and grace.
The girl on the divan was yawning.
where are you going, Claraf" she asked
indifferently.
The queenly creature adjusted her hat
with the assistance of the pier glass oppo-
site.
ITO call on the young person across the
way, you"--
A shade of impatience fitted across the
charmer.
The radiant beauty paused while she
smiled at herself over her shoulder
"Want to send her any messenger"
"Clara"-
The seated lady looked really hurt.
81 don't understand" she exclaimed ir-
ritably, "how you can call on that horrid,
deceitful thingP'
Her brow knit in frown.
Il think her just as mean," she insisted,
"as she can be!''
The queenly creature had finished with
her hat and was working with her gloves.
Then you don't care to send her any
messagew
The soft shoulders shrugged beneath the
Grecian folds.

love. If you please. Detroit Tribune.

A few years ago while workman at
Pueblo, Colo, was dressing block of
stone his chisel uncovered hard con-
erection near the surface of the block.
Presently this concretion, which was
rounded on the back, dropped from the
cavity in which it rested, disclosing a
perfect model of human face on its
under surface, every outline perfect,
unhurt and unmarked by the tool which
had dislodged it. The imprint in the
block was as perfect as the model on
the concretion, and many plaster casts
were taken from it by arch@ologists and
local curiosity seekers. Some of these
casts found their way to the museums
of the learned societies of Europe,
where they created much excitement
and were the subject of many debates.
Many scientists were inclined to take it
as perfect human fossil, but the ma
jority insist upon it being merely an
idol of prehistoric times. The stone in
which it was found was from eighty
feet below the surface.-St. Louis Re-

A passenger in Broadway car the other

the car and two pulls to start it. The

about it. "Them's the proper signals"
said the conductor patronizingly. "One

In one of Bret Harte's clever parodies OF
the French he tells story Ia words some
thing like these: Three gamins were play,
ing in the streets of Paris. A priest passed
by. "There goes priest" cried one; "look
out for your eggs and your chickensr'
Then the priest. hearing the words, knelt
down and prayed for the boys But upon
reflection he was convinced that it was not
the fault Of the boys, but of their parents.
He knelt down the second time and prayed
for the boys parents. On another thought
he saw that it was not the fault of the
boys parents, but of society. He knelt
down again and prayed for society. AS he
rose from his prayer he said to himself
'My friend, who is society You and are
society" So he knelt down the last time
and prayed for himself.-San Francisco

Death From n roothache Cure.

Simon Kintzer, IL leading citizen of
Hummeltown, had been suffering for
two days with toothache. On Monday
evening stranger called at his house
and said he was a travelling toothache
doctor and had magic cure which
would relieve the worst case III IL short
time. He induced Kintzer to let him
try the cure on him. He applied some
strong liquid to the aching gum, and in
short time the pain became easier and
finally ceased. Kintzer gladly paid the
stranger his fee of 81, and the man went
away.
AN hour later Kintzer's tooth began to
pain again, and soon he was in greater
agony than ever. His jaw became
swollen and badly inflamed, and the pain
extended to his head and neck Early
yesterday morning a physician was sent
for, kintzer having become insane from
pain. The doctor pronounced him suf-
fering from blood poisoning induced by
the stuff the stranger had used on his
gums. An hour later Kintzer died. No
one knows who was tho travelling dentist,
and no trace of him has been found.
Kintzer was 81 years old.-Cor. Pitts
