Definition of College Horning.

Many college men will be interested
in knowing just what the practice Of
"horning" professors is, there having
been several references in the newspa-
pers lately to trouble at Dartmouth
over this custom, President Tucker, of
Dartmouth, gives what may be consid-
cred an official definition of this form
of disorder. 1t is an expression of dis
satisfaction among the students with
a professor, and consists of a NOISY and
insulting demonstration against the
instructor Mt his, office or at his resi-
dence." Sometimes it is ATTENDED with
damage to property, but not with vio-
lence to person. Y. Tribune.

whitley pitched the last two innings,
and the final score was twelve to three
against Yale.
"Never mind, Larry" said Wilkes, in
husky but sympathetic tone, every
bc<y has an off day once in awhile.
I've played like jackass myself, and /
know how you feel"
"You got out of it better than ex-
pected," said Paddy, when they met in
Lawrence's room in New Haven. 1.-THE
luck was with you, and if that head of
yours hadn't totally gone back on you,
you might have made fight for it. All
the papers say So"
And he pointed to a large number
of them on the floor. Lawrence
groaned.

agony of murderer and his VIC
tim. I have both the injury and the
remorsc."
you've made your play said Paddy,
''and now it's my turn. just watch me.
Tomorrow night I'm right in it with
the swells."
Lawrence had kept his agreement
with Paddy, but he had shaved it down
a little. 1t was not an event of the
first rank in which the young man
from the South Cove was to make his
debut But then, he didn't know that,
and was never likely to find it out. so
it is hard to say he was cheated. Be-
sides, it was very nice affair, after all
"a spread given by the Gamma Delta,
a minor Greek letter society. 1t was
held in the handsome residence of Gil
bert Parsons, whose son was the presi-
dent of the Yale chapter, and some of
the b1uest blood in New Haven was
there.
There was crush of pretty girls, and
among them was Florence Lorne, who
had come down to New Haven on pur-
pose to attend. Lawrence had Sc
lected this affair because he had felt
sure that Florence would not be pres
ent. He was still jealous of Paddy.
1t must be admitted that the moment
chosen for Paddy's experiment was not
auspicious The Harvard game was the
great topic of conversation among the
friends of the New Haven college, and

81 do," responded Paddy, promptly.
''What did you think it WASP"
''How do you do it?"
"Why, this way" said Paddy; and he
banged the ball against the fence once
more.
This scrap of conversation may give
some idc;. of the difficulties under
which Lawrence labored. And it is,
therefore, the more to his credit and to
the honor of the sporting blood of the
Bangses in his veins, that he tciumphed
over these obstacles and learned to
pitch a curved ball within a week.
Lawrence, as has been said, was
strong, although very thin from over
work. He developed speed wonderful-
iy soon.
"It's your build" Patsy said. "You
can't be absolutely no good. You're
too much like me. But this is only part

A RIGHT START.
The Child is Lucky Who Gets the
Proper Kind Of One.

Not Wealth or Position Alone Means
"Starting Right Counts
for Something.
When child is born to very wealthy
parents, we are inclined to say, "what
start in life it has," If it is a girl,
the father may give bridal present
of a million dollars. II boy, the
father may take him in partnership,
and give him many millions.
But what does all this amount to
if the family history shows that there
is marked tendency to the develop
ment of serious disease? What COM
fort, if one expects that every slight
cold may terminate in consumption;
or every nervous pain indicate ap-
preaching nervous prostration, or even
insanity? Wealth cannot make hap
piness when pain is present, and the
shadow of approaching disease always
lowering near.
Happy is the child who inherits q
sound constitution. He laughs at q
little cold, and does not mind dart
ing pain or two. But, alas, many Of
us inherit a tendency to weak lungs,
an inability to endure exposure, or
some weakness of the nervous system.
Yet, with a perfectly sound ancestry,
we may still suffer from all these and
other complaints.
1t is a great gift to have a strong
nervous system. Neuralgia, sciatica,
nervous dyspepsia, inability to concen-
trate the mind, sleeplessness, and ner-
vousness are symptoms of weak nerves.
Opiates and other narcotics, do not
strengthen nerves; they weaken, de-
bilitate. To be sure they may quiet
temporary pain, but the real cause,
which is one of weakness, remains.
Weak nerves call for food and nerve
tonics. The hypophosphites are gen.
orally acknowledged to be the best
nerve tonics. They tone up the whole
nervous system, and every part of the
body responds. Cod-liver oil supplies
q valuable food to all the tissues;
while the medicinal agents which nat
urally exist in this oil exert their good
effects also. Scott's Emulsion is a
combination Of the best cod-liver oil
and the purest hypophosphites. It is
called an emulsion, because the oil
is emulsified or digested. Hence it is
more acceptable to invalids, and all
those who do not have very strong
digestive powers. One dose of Scott's
Emulsion may not quiet pain, but one
bottle will often SO strengthen the
nervous system that no pain will be
present to quiet.
Nearly twenty-five years ago thepro-
prietors of Scott's Emulsion discovered
a process of emulsifying Cod-liver Oil,
so as to remove from it almost entirely
it's obnoxious fishy taste and smell. and
at the same time increasing its food and
remedial properties. They found also
that by combining the Hypophosphites
with it that they added still further to
its power.
Since that time thousands of imita-
tions have come into the field, but the
original has never been equalled.

university. It must be admitted that
Paddy did extremely well. Within an
hour he had mastered the fashionable
hand-shake, and had learned to enter a
room without giving the impression
that he was hunting for trouble. Law
renee was a patient teacher, and en-
couraged his pupil heartily.
The next day, however, the boot was
on the other leg, and the relations
between teacher and pupil were less
cordial.

as apt a scholar as the other, but the
young gentleman from the South Cove
was wholly lacking in the educational

the name of Larry Bangs did not shine as
brightly as heretofore in the galaxy of
fame. But Paddy did not mind that a
bit.
"Wait till talk to 'em," he said, as
he sailed forth. They'll see that I'm
all right
Lawrence was too sadly crushed to
care what Paddy did in his name except
so far as it had to do with Florence
Lorne. AS to that he was deeply in
terested, so much so that he watched
the Parsons house till the rout broke
up, patrolling the sidewalk before it,
clad in a costume strongly suggesting
the youthful detective of fiction. He
had slouch hat and false mustache,
and he imagined that he was prepared
to do something desperate.
OF Paddy's advent into society there
is only word to be said. There is a
strange and grotesque character in fc-
tion which is called the college student.
By ''fiction" Is meant pretty nearly
everything that is written about col
lege life, whether in books or in cur
rent news paragraphs. This character
gets into courts, he assaults peace
able citizens and always gets the
worst of it; he disturbs the audiences
at theaters; he speaks in dialect so
full of slang that only the police can
understand it; in short, he is as
near like the real student as Paddy
O'Toole is.
The character is so strongly fixed in
the public mind that it is very hard for
real student to do any thing bad
enough to excite remark. Paddy's &C.
centricitics fitted this character so
nicely that even those who knew Law
renee well did not regard them as &C.
traordinary. In fact, Paddy succeeded
much better than Lawrence, for he was
so much more like a real, live college
boy. There was a ''stand-up feed"
that night, and Paddy supplied the
needs of dozens of girls.
Nabody stood any chance against him
In the struggle for salads or ices, and
when he appeared with about forty
plates piled on his right arm as he had
seen the walters In South Cove restau-
rants carry them, he was loudly ap-
plauded. 1t was the hit of the even
luR, anu OlIt LuuCH W TGlEIcVe UuC uOLlOT
lost at Cambridge. Also in a moment
of inadvertence when he forgot that
his name was no longer O'Toole he as
serted that his ancestors were kings of
Ireland and thereby added the orly
luster that the name of Bangs had
lacked.
He succeeded in accompanying Flor
ence to the door of the house in which
she was staying, which was only a
stones throw from Mr.. Parsons. Law
renee trailed them in the style of the
best melodramas, and heard Paddy
promise again and again to retrieve
the awful disgrace of the Cambridge
game.
Don't you be afraid" said Paddy,
"when the tie is played off, ! shall be
myself again."
"Be your true self always" replied
Florence, ''for my sake"
