If Hugh Mcclure, of Goodland, Kan,
hadn't dreamed a dream the other
night he would have been much poorer
than he is to-day. His old uncle In
Washington, D. c., died and left will
which bequeathed to Hugh an old vic.
lin. The instrument was sent by ex-
press, but Hugh, whose expectations
had been much greater, was mad and
wouldn't take the fiddle from the ex-
press office. Then came the dream, to
the effect that the fiddle was full Of
money. The instrument was carried
home, and when 1t was opened 1t was
found to contain 1900 and deed to
some very valuable land.

Recently at Nutley, n. j., as the wife
of a common laborer a woman died
VINO was once baroness. In 1888 John
Link advertised for housekeeper. An
answer came from this woman, who
said she came from Berlin, Germany.
Link told her he could not pay high
wages for a housekeeper, but would
give her home and small wages, or he
would marry her. The woman decided
ON the latter course, and they were
married in New York.
In a package found after her death
were documents to prove that she was
the Baroness Albertina Won Huehner-
bein. A paper stated that the wom-
ans mother had given the hand of AL
bertina in wedlock to Baron George
Huehnerbein. Included in the packet
were crests, stamps, seals and other
things that went to vouch for the title.

Tue President of the Leland Stan.
ford University, California, David
Starr Jordan, asks the question:
'Does coeducation lead to matri.
mony?" then he proceeds to answer
it as follows: Most certainly it does;
and this fact need not be, and canuot
be, denied. But such marriages are
not usually premature. And it is Ger.
tainly true that no better marriages
can be made than those founded on
common interests and intellectual
friendships. A college man who has
known college women is not drawn to
women of lower ideals and inferior
training. He is likely to be strongly
drawn toward the best he has known.
A college woman is not lead by mere
propinquity to accept the attentions
OF inferior men. it is part of the le-
gitimate function of higher education
to prepare women RS we'll as men for
happy and successful lives.

a hundred dollars and one cent, which
had not been entered in his passbook,
and the bank really owed him a balance
of ninety nine dollars and one cent.
The balance went on accumulatins
dividends until 1915, when it became
a dormant amount, and ceased to draw
interest. The amount then due Roe
was S34325. Efforts were made with
out success to find him. He had become
very poor. was too old and feeble to go
to work again, and was given home
by his sons at Rutherford, N. j.
Roe always intended to repay the 81
he thought he owed. but never did so.
President Townsend, of the Bowery
Savings Bank, in looking over the books
one day came across Roe's account. A
new search was instituted and Roe was
found at Rutherford. He was told to
call at the bank with his old account
books. Shortly afterward he did so, ac'

A Dog Story.

A London dog story is apt to be a
hard sort of tale to believe, but it
is never lacking in interest. The
latest is of dog who takes daily
walk with his mistress. The animal
has observed that at certain cross
ing the policeman stops the traffic to
allow his mistress to pass over. The
other day the dog went out alone, and
when he came to the crossing he
parked to attract the policeman's at
bention. The policeman observed
what the dog wanted. He stopped
the traffic, and the dog walked solemn
ly across.-H -Harper's Round Table.

Tho United States Board of Geo.
grephic Names has just completed its
second report. This comprises list
of 600 names, making the number OF
names passed on by the board since its
creation in 1891, 1884. The spelling
adopted becomes binding in every
Government department.. Most of the
changes are local. The Chinese names,
which are spelled very irregularly, are
not touched on except in the case of
the Yang Use Ciang, which becomes
properly simply the Yangtze River,
Kiang meaning river. Corea becomes
Korea; Havana, the capital of Cuba,
takes the Spanish spelling, Habana !;
Korea's capital is Chemulpho instead
of Chemulpo; and the old name Blew.
fields, still on many maps and charts,
becomes officially modernized to Blue
fields. Among the changes heretofore
made by this board, which have been
generally adopted, are: Bering Sea
for Behring Sea, Haiti for Hayti,
Chile for Chill; and the dropping of
the h in the names of places ending in
burgh, as P.ttsburg for Pittsburgh.
These changes are not, of course, OBJ.
ligatory on the public, as there is no
law defining set standard of English
spelling, but nevertheless the spelling
referred to will, without doubt, soon
be generally accepted, having been
officially adopted.
