In this same photograph gallery
were dozens of pictures of students in
teams, trios and groups, and every
student held "stein" in his right
hand. Sometimes, also, he carried a
pipe in his left hand. If the students
at Northwestern University were to
have themselves photographed while
sitting at card.table drinking beer
and then allow the pictures to be dis
played in the shop windows of Evans
ton the faculty might have reason to
believe that the young men we're try
ing to advertise their wickedness.
One photograph in the gallery gave
information as to another phase OF
student life. 1t was picture Of a
wounded dgelist in the hands OF the
surgeon. The victims face showed
three or four deep gashes and was
smeared with blood. The oil-cloth
apron thrown over his shoulders was
dripping with the red fluid and the
surgeon was ready to begin sewing ur
the wounds.

with shoulder and under-arm seams

cut away to expose the shield. and the
handsome broad sailor collar displays
stylish pointed revers in front, from
under which sailor tie knot and ends

through the hem that finishes the
lower edge of blouse to adjust the full

HOMEMADE BICYCLE
Ingenious Young Western Farmer
who Astonished the Natives.

L. w. Wuhweler. an ingenious
young farmer living near Benton,
krk., rode into Little Rock the other
day on bicycle that astonished the
natives. Wuhweler is only eighteen
years old, but he has an inventive
streak that promises to place him on
some lofty pinnacle of fame. II has
already placed him on the saddle of
the funniest looking bicycle ever seen
in the neighborhood. In fact, il is so
funny that both he and it we're cap
tured and placed on exhibition almost
the instant they struck Little Rock.
The machine is called the "Arkan-
saw Traveller" IL weighs forty seven
pounds, is almost perfect in every re-
spect, and every part of it was made
by Wuhweler, who completed it in
four days after getting out the hickory
timber of which it is constructed. II

of the student age the world
over doubtless have a weakness for be.
ing photographed, but the Heidelberg
students had discovered new and
startling effects in their group pic
lures.
One photograph represents fight
OF angels, but each angel had the bat
tle-scarred face of German student.
In another picture some nymphs
were dancing on the ocean sands
beautiful nymphs with bearded faces
and peaked caps. A plump little
Cupid had beer stein in one hand
and long pipe in the other, and in
stead of the conventional baby face he
carried the smiling likeness of big
Westphalian student of philosophy.
There were many more of the same
sort, and the photographer had shown
great skill in getting them up.
The illusions were actually startling.
Imagine Venus de Milo with side
whiskers and pair of spectacles Or
an Apollo Belvedere with pipe in his
mouth!
This wonderful collection of pic
lures gave good insight into the stu
dent life of the old town, for the boys
take life merrily enough and are just
at the age to see the joke in anything
that other people take seriously. The
university men are somewhat older
than the students of an American col
lege, but so long as they are students
they never arrive at the age of seri-
business, but carry their learning
modestly and appear to find it valu-
able only in their funmaking. They
propose toasts in Greek and have the
names of the ancient philosophers en-
blazoned on their been mugs, says the
Chicago Record.

awkward duellst who is slashed the Of
tenest seems to take an especial pride
in the number and the redness of his
scars.
Occasionally there will be seen
student whose face is SO deeply ban
daged that he has difficulty in getting
his cigar into his mouth.
One day in the garden adjoining the
old castle a'student'came in led by two
friends, who wore the colored caps of
his "corps." This young man could
not see through the several bandages
that were laid across his face, and
what he seemed to regret most of all
was he could not drink. Only one
side of his month showed.
He sat at the table that had been re-
served for his corps, and occasionally
he joined in the conversation, but it
sounded like voice coming through
pillow.
Heidelberg restaurants combine ex-
cellent service with reasonable prices.
In some OF the old places patronized
by the students the walls are literally
covered with photographs, swords,
caps and various trophies. The larger
places are finished in the most ornate
German style, the interiors being of
dark wood with rich frescoes over
head. Even'in the midday these places
have quiet and restful gloom, and
business is never so lively that the
people forget to be easy going and
good natured.

their danger to escape without injury, but
were unable to save the least thing in the
way of furniture or even personal effects.

FAMILY lived In rear of LIE Droit Park,
where 4th street now is, but they moved
from there long ago, and her grandmother,
Mrs. Rachel Moore, now resides at 1893

the whereabouts of the missing one caused
joy in the family. and the sisters, as well
as the grandmother. are hoping that they
will be again united.
Mrs. Moore, the grandmother, turned
over to Inspector Hollinberger yesterday
pathetic letter written by the grandmother
which he forwarded to the girl in the far
west. In this letter the one at a distance
was told that the prayers of thirteen years
or sorrow had at last been answered, and
the hope was expressed that in the near
future she would return to her home and
again see her sisters and other relatives.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can you inform the public who is re-
sponsible for the very remarkable system,
or want Of system, by which the funds of
the Police Court could be stolen to the
amount of 5000? Is 1t the Police Court, or
the chief of police, or both?
Certainly somebody must be responsible
for such careless, not to say reckless,
manner Of conducting business, and the
citizens are entitled to know who it is.
The simplest dictates of common sense
would seem to suggest that the fun is
should be accounted for daily, as fast as
received, and deposited where they would
be safe, if not daily, at least weekly. And
then, the idea that they should be left
for months in the custody of a party who
was not bonded is ineNcusable, and more
