her illustrious father. Her lectures on as

with success everywhere. She is now in
Washington. where she is preparing a more
elaborate course FOR grown people. Having

Why They Preached.

1t was little town down on the Maine
coast where the folks, old ard young. knew
all about the fishing business, that the min
lister who was teaching a Sunday-school class
on recent Sunday. propounded the question:
"Why were the disciples taken from among
the everyday people, fisherman and othersg'
The reply: Because they had been fishing
so long and made so little that they were
likely to starve, so the Lord took pity on
them and mado them preachers" is said to
have surprised him.

Pork Cake

1t is not quite an elegant name for cake,
but as no one is required to adhere strictly to
truth, the word pork can be dropped and
fruit substituted. which seems to be the
case as far as its palatableness is concerned.
No milk, eggs. or butter are required and as
the average fruit cake takes one-half dozen
of eggs and a pound of butter, it means a
considerable saving. 1t keeps well and in no
respect is it inferior to pound fruit cake.
Country housewives are familiar with il, and
even city housekeepers are not above placing

roo MANY NEWSBOYS.

They Were Too Numerous at Church and
 Chapel Streets-PoIice Cut Down the
 Number.
 The newsboys and bootblacks who are accustomed to hang around the corner of Church and Chapel streets become so mischievous and pestiferous to pedes- trians and those waiting for cars that the police decided to regulate the nui- ance, and so the number was cut down to about a dozen. It was good move and a great relief to people. It is the opinion of good many that it would be well to license the newsboys and boot blacks simply as a means of restricting the number, but not charging them any fee for the licenses.
 Yesterday an elderly lady, while passing the corner of Church and Chap el streets in a hurry, dropped a quarter. Officer Murphy say the shining piece, as did a bright-eyed newsboy. The po liceman watched to see what the boy would do with 1t. The little fellow, however, was honest. He ran after the lady and returned the money to her. She fumbled in her pocket for nickel, but when she saw the lad so bright eyed and expectant, she gave him the whole quarter as a reward for his honesty. The lady went on his way re- joioing in his easily acquired money.

Omega Lamda Chi Night With Unusual

Omega Lamda Chi Night With UnusuaA HiIarity.
 l According to the custom established some years ago upon the abolishing of the sophomore society, Omega Lam da Chi, the students last evening cele- brated the memory of this prescribed
 society in an unusually uproarlous manner. Shortly after ' o'clock the classes began gathering by the fence and then with the singing of "Chlro, Chiro Omega Lumbda Chi'' the usual procession began. The freshmen were finally lead through between Old Chapel and North college where they were compelled to run a gauntlet or sophonores and upper classmen, who unmercifully belabored them with kicks and cuffs, in the meantime getting all the freshmen hats possible as memen- toes.
 After this feature of the evening supply of old boards and barrels was piled up and fired. Then around the blazing heap there was soon pande- monium of yelling, dancing students. Finally German band was secured to add to the noise. The celebration continued until members of the faculty appeared, when the classes dispersed. It is thought that two large elms un- der which the fire was kindled were in- jured, so that some of the branches will die.
