EACH WORE COURT PLASTER.
Ana So the Youth Couldn't Tell which
Girl Came into His Room.

The Young man who thinks he Is go-
ing 70 come out ahead in any joke in
which "a girl of ordinary sharpness IL
involved is sure to find his mistake. 1t
happened some time ago in a certain
college, that both the dormitorics OF
both the young lady and gentlemen
students opened into the same hall,
says tie indianapolis Sentinel. One
evening near midnight one of the girls,
who he'd slipped out of her room TO en-
Joy a secret chat with one Of the other
girls. was hurrying TO her room and in
the dark mistoolx the room, entering
the room OF ore of the boys by mistake.
He was standing by the gas jet, having
just turned out the light, and when
she had found the match which she
carried in her pocket and started 20
light the gas she stumbled against him.
OF course she screamed and started
for the door; but he was too quick for
her, and holding her for moment
actually bit her check, In order that nc
might identify the young lady when
next they met. OF course her wrath
knew no bounds; and when she finally
REACHED her room she called an indigna-
ton meeting Of the other girls and ex-
planned what the horrid fellow had pre-
sumed 10 do. She could never face him
again, and was not going 10 chapel in
the morning. But then, of course, he
would know who she was, and She APP
pealcd 20 the girls 20 help her out Of
the difficulty. They did. The next
morning when the girl students filed
past the boys at devotional exercises
in the chapel one wicked youth looked
over the top of his Testament only to
see procession of twelve girls, each
having long strip Of black court plas-
ter on her left check He never dis
covered which girl he bit.

That Ecuuirus Nerve,
There is an amusing story told about
a burglar Ia box. According 10

London Telegraph, two detectives who
were GA duty ono evening in the Rue

fore him on n cart "a II 1t were u hui

may nos, have thought Of the story of
the wooden horse. but, ~ all events,
they listened attentivcly, and distinctly
heard the words. Don't stir, old man.
III take you round by the shortest
cut" The porter was followed NJ once
by the plain-clothes men. The cart
containing the box was wheeled into
large business premises In the Rue de
Body and delivered over TO u clerk, the
porter observing that he would call for
il in the morning and take 1t away 10
another destination.
The clerk objected 20 receiving the
article, as he had no notice of is COM
insg, bat he was prevailed upon 10 let IL
remain Ia the place. The detectives
entered soon after. and, having mem
toned their suspicious TO the clerk, II
was arranged that obey should hide on
the premises and await events.
On the stroke of midnight the lid Of
the box was observed rising gently,
and out came a man, who walked to-
wards a money safe, opened il with the
aid OF tools which he had in his posses
sion and, after having annexed a sup
ply Of gold and banlS-notes, returned
TO his original hiding place. The de-
tectives waited until the morning,
which brought the porter, who was
arrested, and the box with the safe
breaker in Il was conveyed Co the
Office Of the Surete. There the thief,
overcome with surprise, was despoiled
OF his booty, amounting 10 about eighty
pounds, and was quickly dispatched 10
the depot.

cheers. Snapper Garrison was selected as
starter, having come from New York for
the purpose. The horses got away at the

arisen phoenix-like out of the ashes of the
disastrous fire of last February. The fire,
it will be remembered, ragged for week,
the vast quantity of binder twine in the
cellar being its chief fuel The dense col
umn of smoke pouring from the building on
those zero weather days left a picture that
nearly everyone saw, and when the spa
cious and attractive vehicle headquarters is
now visited the suddenness of the restora-
ton will strike one along with admiration
for the energy and enterprise with which
the firm has re-established its business. The
fire happened Feb. g. the rebuilding be-
gan March and the store opened for bust
ness in the old site on April l. The formal
opening Thursday will be from 10 in the
morning to s in the evening, and to it all
are invited.
A feature of attraction the opening day
will be the historic carriage once the prop
erty of President Lincoln, and all the more
interesting because it was the last vehicle
that he ever rode in alive. 1t was presented
to Mr.. Llncoln py the merchants OF New
York on his first inauguration. 1t carried
him to Ford's Theater the night that
the assassin's bullet severed the silver
thread of life. 1t was purchased by friend
of the Lincoln family after the martyrdom
of its owner, and lately became the proper
ty of the Studebaker company, at South
Bend. 1t was exhibited at the worlds fair
and attracted as much attention as any ar
ticle in the fair, owing to its historic inter
est. Foreigners viewed 1t with much the
samel veneration as those who have the
right to call Lincoln fellow-countryman. 1t
will occupy a conspicuous place in the CEN
ter of the ground floor, and in all proba-
bility will never be here again. Mr.. Condo,
