ton the other night. When Bficc went
10 school he was very poor and he had
barely enough TO pay his tuition and
board. He could not indulge In fine
clothes. lie was too honest to 70 in
debt and without seeing some immedi.
ate means OF repayment he was too
proud to borrow. lie had, however, a
good deal Of humor In his nature and he
was by no means averse to a practical
joke at the expense OF his friends
While he was in the senior year both
himself and his room mate received an
invitation one day TO attend the wedding
OF q friend. The couple TO be married
were very popular, and 1t was known
that the wedding would be large and,
ior the town, fashionable one. II was
talked about IN the social circles OF the
college for weeks beforehand, and
Brice's room mate who was well TO do,
ordered new suit of clothes for the
occasion. Brice looked over the clothes
with him and longed for q suit himself,
but as he looked at his slender pocket
book he gave up the idea with sigh,
and taking his nail brush scrubbed the
dirt out OF his old suit and prepared to
wear il. Now, the clothes OF his friend
were to be delivered the evening of the
wedding. The hours OF the afternoon
went slowly on and the suit did not
arrive. As il approached the time for
leaving Cal Brice said that he would 20
down and see what was the matter and
would hurry up the tailor. His friend
said all right and sat and waited. In the
course OF half an hour a message came
saying that the clothes could hardly
arrive on time, and the boy, not to be
late, put ON his old suit and went to the
wedding. lie had just gotten himself
into q good place for watching the cere-
mony when, to his surprise, Cal Brice
entered, looking as though he had
jumped from a bandbox He was clad
from crown TO heel In his friends new
suit, and he was for that time at least the
best dressed OF his fellows, During this
dinner Senator Brice spoke with con-
siderable feeling about his college days
at Miami. lie was fair student, and
he says that his school days were tine
happicst of his life. His father, you
know, was a poor preacher, and he was
of all the boys at college among the
poorest, but with all his poverty he did
not lack independence. An instance of
this was in his actions in coming to the
school from time time. There was In
those days no railroad to oxford, where
the college Is located. and tie students
came by rail to Hamilton, Ohio. and
