HIS ORDER.
The College Presidents Injunction Was q
Difficult One tn Obey.

The College Presidents Injunction Was q
Difficult One Ia Obey.
The speaker who has planned an adj
dress for multitude, and finds himself
confronted with but a single auditor,
sometimes fails to readjust his remarks,
and the result is apt to be ludicrous.
A little story illustrative of this point
Is told in connection with n former
president Of the University OF North
Carolina
One day, as this dignifed and stately
parsonage was walking about the CAM
pus, he observed an unlawful assem-
blare of students at some little dis
lance. He did not hasten his steps, but
proceeded slowly toward them with his
head down and his eyes apparently
bent In contemplation of his own boots.
When this leisurely proceeding had
brought him to the spot where the
students had been gathered, only one
young man remained, the others having
precipitatelv departed.
The president raised his head and
surveyed the solitary culprit with ap-
parent severity. although the. young
man always contended that he detected
a twinkle in his keen eyes.
Sir" said the president in q com
handing tone, Instantly disperse TO
your several places Of abode"
Difficult though the feat required GER
tainIv was, the young man executed 10
to the best Of his ability BY "diSpers
ing" without further delay.

A DOGS KNOWLEDGE OF TIME,
How Animals Tell tho Time of Dsy-A
Boston Subject.

How Animals Tell tho Time of Dsy-A
Boston Subject.
How do dogs know the time Of day?
some one asks the writer, and pro-
ceeds to relate some stories to prove
that they do know it. One of these
stories is about a collie who starts
every afternoon to meet his master,
who always comes on the tive-thirty
train. Trains are continually coming
and going, and whistling and ringing,
but Pete pays no attention to any but
this one. As soon as its whistle is
heard he begins to bark joyfully, and
never makes a mistake. Another dog
became so much accustomed to going
to the schoolhOuse every morning with
his little master, that when the boy
was absent for several weeks, the dog
still went on going to school, arriving
punctually at nine every morning.
Moreover, he never went Saturday or
Sunday.
With regard to the first case, says
the Chicago Times, it might be replied,
perhaps, by sl1eptieal person, that
the dog was more likely to be able to
distinguish the special whistle Of the
locomotive which drew the five-thirty
train, than to know 1t by the hour OF
day. And vet, the writer has no sort
Of doubt that dogs do know when
certain hour arrives at which some
thing regular and accustomed takes
place. The second case seems to prove
this very thing. There is a case on
record in which doctor. who was ac-
custo1ned to visit a certain village at a
certain hour on a certain day each
week. ALWAYS found dog Of his ac-
ouaintance waiting for him outside the
town, and it was proved that the dog
never came to the place at any other
day or hour.
Evidently. all that can be said in ex-
PLANTATION of such cases is that animals
are susceptible Of having periods or
cycles of time established in their in
telligence by use. and that their ignO-
rance of tiuepieces only serves 20 make
the instinct the keencr. II Is well
known that men who have never pos
sessed watches. and who work or hunt
habituallv at a distance from clocks.
are very expert at estimating the lapse
Of time. Perception of this kind IN
doubtedlv may he cultivated in an in
telligent animal as well as man

WOULD PART.
Husband Unable to Stand the Neglect ofhis
Vile Asks for Divorce.

J. G. Gaines filed petition in the dis
trict court yesterday asking for al abso-
Lutte divorce from his wife, Sarah. lie
charges her wit neglect Of duty.
He states that they were married little
over four years ago IN this CITY. lie al
lenes that Sarah refuses to cook properly
or tend to her household duties as BETTING
a good house wife. She refuses 10 mend
his clothing and swenrs at Mr.. Galnes,
using the most obscene language.
He further claims her refusing to asSo-
ciAte with him upon the street and at
social gatherings has caused cauStic com
ment under the lash of which ne can no
longer labor.
He asks the court besides an absolute
divorce that he court grant him the Gus
tody OF his three-year-old child, Della.
Mr.. Gaines was formerly an assistant of
Charlie Phillips when he had charge OF
Wells Fargo Express cOmpany's business
in this CITY.

A CHICAGO BUILDING.
It Is SO High That It's Oscillation stopped
the Presidents Clock.

tES ETCsiGelt ; NAOct@s
A local corporation, recently or
vanized. established its headquarters
on the top floor OF one Of the tallest
buildings in town The attorney had
Z room 70 himself: the secretary was
given another palatial apartment; the
superintendent reigned supreme in an
other place; the president was, OF
course, compelled to Guido all the
others in Ieather-cushioEed chairs,
massive tables and expensive bronzes.
The crowning glory of his private
office, says the Chicago Record, was 4
big clock with an elaborately carved
case. 1t was the best clock IN the en-
tire stock of local dealer, and it had
a long, shiny pendulum which was 10

On the first day the pendulum
stopped. The clock was sent back TO
the dealer, whose experts took ii apart,
oiled it and set it running again. Once
more it was taken up to the presi-
running. For a second time the ez-
perts dissected it and found every part
in working order. 1t kept time to the
second for two days and was confident
IL returned to the buyer, who reported
back again in two hours: The clock

An architect who became acquainted
with the facts in the case solved the
mystery. He said the oscillation Of
the building counteracted and stopped
the swing of the pendulum The
pendulum couldn't work with any
regularity so long as the building was
nodding around in the changing winds
like cat-tail before a summer zephry.

Certainly; but don't be afraid;
