A Yale student with High Stand.

1t was during II period when President
Porter was holding rectations in the Athen-
Pum that the following story is told, the
substantial truth of which is vouched for
here: In one of the class divisions was Il
young fellow active in athletics, who found
1t difficult to blend proficiency in baseball
with the 40 pages of advance and review
which made up the normal days lesson in
DR.. Porter's bulky volume on The Human
Intellect" Taking advantage of DR.. POr-
ter's easy going recitations, the young fel-
low hit on the following device: He divid-
ed the 40 pages into eight sections of five
pages each. For each section he prepared
an answer, usually based ON II suggestive
line or two, sometimes evolved from inner
consciousness. At recitation he simply
watched DR.. Porter turn the pages, basing
his answer absolutely on the number of
pages turned. From pages to 10 meant
answer number two, from pages % to 80
answer number 6, and so on, not the slight
est attention otherwise being paid to the
question.
The young pioneer in psychology, who
ratified OIL the answer with all the fieXibil-
ity of speech and earnestness he could com.
mand, always met Il gracious smile from
DR.. Porter and found subsequently by this
audacity he had secured a stand in psychol
ogy among the first half dozen in the class
Years after he met DR.. Porter and explained
the trick and its result. The president
turned the thing prettily. "Mr. Blank,
answered he, IF you got eight ideas out o.
each 40 pages of my Human Intellect you
got so many more than most of your clas
that you deserved your stand. New Haver

BEATEN AT HIS OWN GAME.
A Youthful Auditor Tells n Story Bigger
Than Uncle Bill Does.

1t was great fun for the boys in the vii
lage where Uncle Bill lived o get him start

of them We're connected in some way with
the Hudson, as he had spent nearly his
whole life on the river.
Seated on strngpiece of the wharf one
afternoon with a number of youngsters
around him he began by telling his audi
ence what n wonderful river the Hudson
was.
Boys" he said, II tell yer that ere is Il
mighty fine river. Yer kin go most any
where yer mind to on her. Yessir, yer kin
go to ther north pole an ter the south pole"
The boys winked to one another but did
not venture to make any remarks.
How about Captain Broats sloop, Uncle
Bile" asked one of his auditors.
"Ah, murmured the old man, ''she was II

in tones of great disapproval;
