He WON Il DAY.
Eouns Harmon's conflict with a College
FacuIty Years Ago.

A story about the college life of Judge
Judson Harmon was told by a class
mate of the encouragement the other
day, says a Columbus correspondent Of
the Cleveland Leader. Nearly thirty
years g Judge Harmon was a student
in Dentson university at Granville. At
commencement time in those days it
was the custom of the senio class 70
issue a publication called the Pasquin,
which always contained matter of the
most vituperous sort. and tile ditorials
were often directed at the most rom
inent people in the city, as we'll as the
professors of the school The greatest
mystery surrounding the publication
and distribution Of the sheet and the
very secrecy Of it insured the contrib
utors from unpleasant results. Judge
Harmon was a member of the class Of
of So. In the Pasquin of hat year there
appeared many bitter denunciations Of
and personal thrusts at the faculty. De-
spite the safety which the editors sup
posed surrounded their pointed thrusts.
the faculty demonstrated that they
knew the source of the writings. on
commencement day all of the students
received their parchments excepting
young Harmon. He alone was punished
for his connection with the Pasauin.
1t took only a minute for the students
to understand the slight to Harmon,
and they proved their loyalty to him by
holding an indignation meeting in the
fraternity hall. Resolutions were adopt
ed in which the students foreswore al
legiance to the college unless Harmon's
diploma was forthcoming and he was
placed on an equal footing with the 9TH
ers. The board of trustees demurred
and finally agreed to confer honors up
on Harmon privately, but the students
refused the offer. Next day they hired
a band, formed a big procession and
marched to the little church where the
commencement exercises had been held.
The citizens of Granville had learned
the facts and they turned out in force
to watch developments. The trustees
were sent for and President Talbot pre-
sented Harmon's diploma with fitting
dignity and expressions of praise. The
victory of the students was celebrated
in true college style, and the present
attorney-general of the United States
was the lion of the hour.

Spiders have played a greater part in
history than most people are aware of.
Everybody knows how the perseverance
of a spider encouraged Robert Bruce to
regain his kingdom of Scotland, but not
SO many know hat according to Jewish
tradition a spider saved David's life.
Saul was hunting for him, and his SOL
diers approached a cave where David
was hidden. Shortly before. however. a
spider had spun her web at the mouth
of the cave, and the soldiers. taking it
for granted thai If he had taken refuge
in the cave he must have broken the
web, departed, forgetting the web might
have been spun after as well as before
his entrance. A spider saved the life
OF the g~rand-uncle Of the German EN-
peror. Frederick William was king Of
Prussia. and an attempt vas made to
poison him in a cup of chocolate. BY
chance a 81 .er fell into the cup. and
for his reason the monarch gave the
chocolate to a dog, who Immediately

Lady Dunraven has been known TO tell
about the famous old n The countess

a woman much more inclined IN COM

lanes. even with DIR. Johuson's author
ity. She used to tell the facts in the
tale simply for what they We're worth,
says New York Tribune. Il was more
than one decade ago, years before the
Valkyrie was thought of, when Lord
Dunraven was first Interested in the
mining regions Of Northern Michigan.
He and Lady Dunraven were staying in
New York for a few days before start

being tired with their voyage. they
went early To bed. but, as il happened,
not so early to sleep. Both the earl and
countess were blessed with hearty Eng
lish constitutions. They were not at all
accustomed to lying awake till the small
hours. They wondered what they could
have done. what they could have eaten
or drank TO afflict them with such graz
tultous vigilance. Just at a venture,
finally. they bundled themselves out
into the adjoining parlor, made them
selves extempore couches there and
slept soundly till morning. Next night
and the night after Their was the same
wakefulness and in the end the same
migration to the adjoining room for re-
lief. They began to think they should
have to leave town earlier than they
had planned. for they would not for
the world have made n pretext to
shift chambers. The explanation of the
mystery, IL it was an explanation. came
out by chance. They had a call before
long krom an old-time New Yorker
whom they had met in England. an au-
thority on all matters pertaining to the

ago, that a Mr.. x hanged himself"
1t was in that room that Lord and
Lady Dunraven had tried in vain TO
sleep, III they exchanged significant
chances. OF course. it was only a CO.
incidence, they said; but the next day
they took their departure for the west.
