There is always deep pathos in
those stories about fallen prides,
and the one which | am about to
tell Is sad enough to wrench from
the soul a flood OF tears.
He was undoubtedly the pride OF
the college. Nobbier clothes aud a
bushier head OF hair even the king
bee Of the football team never had,
Fair feminine eyes glistened with
admiration for him. The new
freshman student looked upto him
with awe and spoke not above a
whisper when in his mighty pres
epce; even the naughty senior at
times let down his dignity peg or
two aud condescended to exchange
with HIM the time Of day.
Next, by way of contrast and a
striking background 10 such q
glowing picture, imagine an hum
BILE village home with stern but
sensible father, and the cause OF
the fall of the college pride is not
far to seek.
"Thirty dollars" said he one day,
ais all that L can get for my
expenses. 1t takes q mint OF
money to dress within tho pale OF
decency, and I've run tho whole
gamut OF pretexts from church
dues 20 extra books. Ny father
writes, My son, you must have

mother thinks that am paid-up
member of every church In town,
Just how L am to pay my board and
tailor bill out OF next months al
lowarce is enough to make one
weary"
Suppose" says /, by way OF
mere suggestion, SHAT you explain
TO your father that the amount he
sends is not sufficient to keep up
the family dignity at this end"
He looked pensively before him,
and thus loft him in deep, alb
sorbing reverie.
The next day he wrote. Writes
he: "My dear father, You and j
both had no correct idea of what
my college expenses would be. You
know what a high position our
family holds in the esteem OF our
community, and / have always en-
doavored to so live as to add to our
family dignity, As a result, my
dear father, 1 will be compelled to
ask you at times for extra sums. as
$50 per month has proven totally
inadequate to live in style com.
mensurate with the high moral
tone OF our family"
A few days later he packed his
grip. His face was radiant with
smiles. "M'hm, Pm fixed now.
Father has telegraped me to come
home and talk the matter over"
Soon after he wired for his trunk
and effects. Evidently he was
fixed.

stress on the word ever, "was the
case OF a young man who fell into
the water. He got wet all over"
Then he stopped short and laughed
most upoariously.
"Well, what else? Go on" said
one of his hearers, impatiently.
Nothing else," said the freckled
one, almost unable to speak for
laughter, "only, he-got-wet-all.

There was not q week from March 4

the tremendous overthrow OF 1880,
which followed the Mckinley iniquity

claimed that this was due TO the fact
that the election came SO soon after
