An Elderly Law Student.

There are many quaint people In attend
ance at the Kansas State University at Law
renee, but probably the most interesting Of
these is a law student seventy years old.
His name is DR.. Martin Van Buren Stevens.
This is his second year at the university,
and expects to graduate this spring and
become a fulI-fledged lawyer.
The doctor slifehas sbeenoneofintereSting
experiences. Wilkesbarre, Pa, was the
place of his birth. At the a ge of twenty he
married Pennsylvania girl and enlistedin
the Fifth New Hampshire Regiment Com
pany ID. He received the degree ofbachelor
Of arts in Oberlin College, III Ohio, and doc
tor OF medicine at the Adelbert College,
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1871 His first wife
having died, he married again, this time
selecting a Michigan girl, anicce of Fight
ing Jim Richardson At one time he
studied theology and preached, but he
soon gave. it up and studied phreDology
under Fowler, OF New York.
In a COSY little house on the hill this queer
old man lives alone. He keeps everything
about the place scrupulously clean. One
warm meal a day he considers sufficient.
The other two he carries to school with him
in a small shoe box. Very little meat
passes his Iips-in fact, he might~also be
called vegetarian. People eat entirely
too much," he says.
Last year he was somewhat conspicuous
on account OF the number of badges aud
emblems he wore on the front of his coat.
There were badges of the G. A. R.. Christian
Endeavor a aseven-inchph hphrenologicalbadg
Y. NJ G. a. medical society, and legal
society. Another of his peculiarities is
that he carries a watch that is fully four
inches in diameter. He winds it with pair
of siX-inch nippers.
Dir. Stevens has been in every State and
Territory of the United States. Every
summer he goes out Iecturing, and tells the
people all about phrenology, physiology,
and physiognomy.
When 4 reporter asked him his age he
said rather bashfully: "Oh, l never tell
people my age, because they might think
that I was too old to be going to school

his long, white beard.
Il am registered up at the university as
forty-four years. / don't feel old, though,
for neither drink liquor, use tobacco, nor
swear. always pay my honest debts, and
never worry. Worry kills people"
All the students like him. for he is a jolly
old fellow, aud acts as young as most of
them. When asked if he thought of getting
married again, he smiled and said: 81
shouldn't wonder. A man is never too old
to marry."-Kansas City Star.

Irrigation in the western portion of

art of the East. In these sections it

To make success of irrigation. it
