College, Expenses.

Ambitious young men who are looking
forward to the college course certainly need
not despair for fear they will not be able to
keep their end up in college In every
college there are opportunities for earning
extra money, and an industrious student
ought to be able to .cdacc his college ex"
penses ut least $50 per year in various
ways without sacrificing his self respect.
If, therefore, he starts in on the $4OO a
year basis he ought to be able to make
his total net expenses not more than $3.50
per year, or 81, 400 for the entire course
necessary to graduation. ~.
OF course every student cannot accom-
plish this But if. deserving, Industrious
and conscientious young men enter the
contest in tho right spirit fcwof them Will
have to pass the 81 500 mark for their four
years course, If they make up their minds
at the start that they will Ito everything
possible to keep; their expenses down to
that figure And if n young man enters
college with that determination and shows
the college authorities that he is bound to
sIfcceed he will find plenty uf sympathy
and assistance pouring in from all sides in
the average college. Troy Prss,

Her brother smiled, and a little nat
ural color augmented the artificial one
in Lady Lirriper's cheeks, for she and
her husband had gone different ways
very early III their married life. He
said it was because she insisted on put
ting two Jumps of sugar in his tea in
stead Of one; She because he had been
brought up among aud by fools, and,
like most men, couldn't abide a clever
woman. So they had agreed to differ.

Hagar slowly, "as the only two men

POWER OF THE KATYDID.

recently performed an experiment in a
rather crude way to test tho drawing pow
ers--not lifting, but pulling-of the COM
mon katydid. Seeing the katydid and not
ing its we'll developed muscular system
suggested that idea of testing its strength.
From the want of something better, I
took sheet of ordinary note paper (size s
by 10 inches) and folded it once. The COR
ners of one end were folded together and a
piece Of ordinary thread Is inches long was
attached to it. The other end was tied
around the mesothorax, passing beneath
the katydid.
The first trial proved that it was no task
at all to pull this paper on smooth topped
table with no covering. Next IL sheets Of
heavy paper, 8 by AZ inches In size, were
added one after another; Il large screw, two
steel pens and a small stone weighing
about two ounces were placed on the paper.
These were drawn without any great effort
on the part of the katydid.
After giving it short rest added
new lead pencil having tin tip with
rubber Oh it. This was drawn easily. A
second lead pencil was added. 1t required
some effort to start the load, but after it
was in motion it was drawn slowly.
third lead pencil was added. The katydid
was unable to start this at first, but resort
ed to n somewhat curious expedicnt, as it
crawled to the edge of the table and pulled,
while its left feet were on top of the table
and its right feet were on the edge, with
its body directly over the corner. In this
position it was able to move its load slow.
ly for q short distance
then laid half a lead pencil on the pa
per. 1t was unable to move the load at
first with this additional weight, but after
moistening each of Its feet in turn by plac-
ing them at it's mouth and exuding some
sticky substance it was barely able to move
the burden.
The entire load pulled in the last trial
was the original sheet of paper, on which
the other things were laid, II sheets OF
heavy paper, 3 by AZ inches; one large
screw, two steel pens, the small stone and
9la lead pencils. OF course each successive
trial diminished the katylid's strength
This experiment, although very crude, in
dicated that the katydid POSSESSES degree
of power that would be surprising If

CHAPTER XIII.
'oera'on1 1895 sv AneR,e AN Psrss ASSOCIATION

Lady Lirriper arrived next day with
her maid, man, poodle parrot and a
pile of trunks that would not have dis
credited Saratoga BELLE with the new
est thing in bonnets on her wicked old
head, rs we'll as the newest scandal up
her sleeve-this last for the sole delec-
tation Of Blake Trelawny.
She was strongly of opinion that God
made town and man the country, and
pitied her brother Straubenzee's tastes
from the bottom Of her SOUL for books
never taught one anything, she was
wont to say, while from the dullest hu-
man alive you could always extract
something you did not know before and
which was sure to come in useful.
How are you, brother?" she called
ont in the high, enjoying voice impossi-
bic to associate with an old woman,
"and where are the lovers? H'm-very
pretty, indeed" she added looking with
pleasure at the park stepped i'll golden
sunlight, "and who is that?" rs she
brought up abruptly, staring at Miss
Gregorias.

Straubenzee introduced them.
"If you weren't an old mummy she
might be your wife, commented the
old lady, taking in every detail Of the
girls appearance. "1'll ask her to stay
with me in town if she's all right, but
my correct brother has seen to all that,
Of course.
When her maid had taken away her
wraps, but by no means the bonnet and
veil that seemed indissolubly one with
her admirably curled toupee, Lady Lir-
ripper looked round at the green and sill
yer hangings, the whole perfection OF
the exquisite drawing room, with long
sigh of content.
IF only you weren "a thousand miles
from town." she said, nodding to Bell,
who was himself waiting on her with
tea and looking really delighted to see
her what the embaSsador-who lived
every moment of his life-mcaut by
building such place here passes my
comprehension
She was looking hard at Hagar, at
the outline Of her nose and lips and
chin against the background Of the ia
nous peacock screen that was an heir
loom and worth many thousands of
pounds.
"And how is Trelawny?' she went
ON without waiting for an answer.
"He's such a devil-and like devils.

the annual meeting of the representa-

This will be the first in the circuit Of

In having the first of the Western
state fairs for 1897, this state gains a
very important concession, because ex-
hlbitors, especially of live stock, de-
sire to make the best possible showing
at the first fair attended, not only for
the benefits to be derived Immediately
but because the first exhibition estab-
1SheS, to great extent, the degree of
merit to be encountered at later fairs,
Minnesota had the greatest and most
successful fair in the circuit this year
and from the early and energetic work
to be planned and carried on by the
board Of directors and executive Of
ficials, next years fair will not be in
ferior to any Of the agricultural and

TIGERS CONFIDENT.
Princeton Does Not Expect to See
Yale Score.

PRINCETON, N. J., Nov. 20-Prince-
ton turned out in a body this afternoon
to give the Tigers a rousing send-off
Fully 1000 people crowded the little
old-fashioned station and wildly
cheered the departing football heroes
Never before has such enthusiasm
been evinced, and town and gown
united this evening to show by their
presence and applause that their hearts
were with the team. Over 500 students
accompanied the team. The men to
compose the eleven for tomorrow i
game are: Brokaw, left end; Church
left tackle; Crowds, left guard; Galley,
center; Armstrong, right guard; Hill
lebrand, right tackle; Cochran, right
end; Smith, quarter back; Barnard
left halfback; Kelly, right halfback
and Baird, fullback. The substitutes
will be: Thompson, Hayward and
Lathrop, ends; Tyler and Booth, tack
les; Edwards, guard; Poe and Pardee,
quarterbacks; Reiter, Ayres and Ro-
sengarten, halfbacks. Wheeler will be
substitute half and fuIlback and has
been trained to take either place. In
case Galley should be injured, Tyler
will go to left guard.
The last practice of the team was
taken early this afternoon and was of
the highest kind. Special attention
was paid to signal practice, to perfect
ing team play and to Interference and
punting. Baird spent nearly an hour
under the watchful eye Of Aleck Moi
Tacr, who put the young Tiger fullback
through course of punting and drop
kicking, which may come in very op-
portunely when the Tigers meet the
sons of Eli tomorrow afternoon. Every
one of the players Is confident Of VIC
tory and expects to down the blue
legged football men from New Haven
by a score of at least II to 0.

ACRES STIhL THERE
STATE AUDITOR DUNN SAYS MIR.
POWERS is SCARED, NOT
HURT.
NO LAND HAS TAKEN WINGS,
NOR DOES HE THINK THERE HAVE
BEEN ANY VERY SERIOUS
FRAUDS.
He Finds the Discrepancies Much
Smaller Than His Albany Talk
Suggested.

Labor Commissioner Powers stirred
up hornets nest when he charged
before the national association of Off
Gals of bureaus of labor statistics
that there were counties in this state
that had $4,000 acres less on their tax
lists than they had twenty years ago.
Rather, perhaps, the hornets nest was
stirred up when he circulated the re-
port Of that meeting at the capitol and
it gained publicity in the G Il o b Of
yesterday.
State Auditor Dunn was awake in a
minute. He wanted to know where the
counties were. There had been an i'm
putation Of negligence or fraud on the
part of local assessors, Mr.. Morse, Of
Michigan, expressing the belief that if
omissions were as plentiful as Mr..
Powers had charged, they could not
be due to accident. The state auditor
did not want his department to rest
under such an imputation, as it is
held responsible for the workings of
the assessors and auditors in the vari-
GUS counties of the state.
Called upon for an explanation, Mr..
Powers cited Hennepin and Ramsey
counties as notable examples. In 1873
Hennepin county returned 337, 900 acres,
in 1893 only 305, 900. Ramsey county in
1882 returned 82,S59; in 1893 only s., 231.
Mower county in 1880 returned over
44S, 000 but in 1883 it had dropped be-
low 100000 and it has not yet gotten
back to the figures of $780, Rice
county in 1880 returned 319,000 in 1888
1t reported $4,000; in 1892 $4,000, and
in 1898 314, 553. Washington county re-
turned 24S, 900 in 1888; in 1892 only 231,-
9S2. Every other year, however, since
1891, 1t had returned "a, 900, so he
would concede that 231, 900 might be an
error in footings. Even then there was
a falling off Of 1000 acres to be ac-
counted for. Fillmore county's list
had fallen off from 547 1928 In 1886 to
541, 1886 in 1892.
'sIt Is not hard to explain these re-
auctions, or at any rate some of Them -
said Mr.. Dunn. Take Ramsey and
Hennepin counties. Large tracts of
what was acre property twenty. or
even ten years ago, is now in city lots
and returned as such. Dakota county,
too, has lost in this way. Faribault' 8
growth has made a considerable diff
ference in Rice county. Washington
county has st. Paul Park, and a num-
Der Of other cities which have been
plated within the period named by
Mr. Powers. In number Of counties
railroads have been built within twen-
ty years, thus taking their rights of
way out of the taxable areas. Gene
terry and church property is exempt
and the churches have acquired consid-
cradle properties in many places dur
ing twenty years. do not think there
rests upon the labor commissioner any
severe obligation to impute fraud to
those who have made assessments on
realty in this state"

In the light Of modern medical research

on this point kindly read the following
letters from people who know that our
claims regarding the merits of the
Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by
the facts.

edy for all forms of piles. So great
has been the number Of testimonial
letters received by them from all parts
Of the country that they have decided
to publish each week a number Of such
letters and never use the same letter
twice, but only fresh letters will be
published.
All druggists recommend the Pyra-

their customers say that no remedy
