When Harvard Was Young.

Our great colleges all had small begin
nings, and some OF them had pretty hard
beginnings, rs tho following ancient rem
iniscencc of our first university shows.
AT first it was truly q school only and
was taught by one Nathaniel Eaton, n
scholar Of most disrcputablc memory, who
was discharged by the general court for
"crucl and barbarous beating of Mr.. Ma
thaniol Briscoo and for other neglccting
and misusing of his scholars" sentence
Of the most righteous nature.
This brutal man had rule that "he
would not give over correcting until he
had subdued the party to his will" and
in this exercise no used, on ono occasion at
least, as Governor Winthrop tells us, "a
cudgcl which was walnut tree plant, big
enough to have killed horse, and yard
in length"
But this was not all, for, although the
pupils paid him we'll for their "diet, 1t
was ordinarily nothing but porridge and
pudding, "and that very homely," and
his wife denied them butter and cheese
and beer "betwixt meals"
She also forced tho young men to mako
their beds at timos

time dwelling with Master and Mistress

AN INHUMAN MOTHER.

Bennington, VT, Dec. 30.--The hearing
to-day In the Municipal Court in the case
against Mrs. Frank Rice. charged with
cruelty to her five-year-o,d daughter. was
continued until next Monday. This was
tho second day of the hearing. 1t appears
that nelghbor went into Rice's house q
few days ago In the evening to call. Ask
ing for the child. she was told that she
was not at home. Just as the neighbor
was leaving a cry was heard from the
cellar, and rushing down the cellar stairs
she found the little girl tied to a post.
This seems very brutal affair. The
child's injuries VIII probably result In
making her cripple for life, and great

The Exceptions, Who Wed Men of the

W"rid, ways Repent or IL
4 young woman writes to Edward w
Box inquring why so many girls seem 10
prefer the company of young fellows of
slightly blotted character-men who have
seen the world-and in many cases marry
them, in face of the fact that their past
lives are unknown to them. In the jan
uary issue Of the The Ladies' Homo Jour
nal Nh Box, its editor, makes this reply:
Girls. that II, the right kind OF girls, do
not prefer the company of young men of
this sort. Doubtless you have come across
instances where this rule has been other
wise: 20 have ]. But 1t is all in the SEEM
ing; and not in the reality. Depend upon
one thing: girls have as high an estimate
of purity In man as men have OF purity in
woman There are, of course. cases to the
contrary, but these are few. Where girls
marry men who are known to have led
what Is called a worldly life.' II is more
generally duo to a misunderstanding of
facts or to Ignorance than people imagine.
There IL "a type OF girls who finds pccu-
liar satisfaction in the conquest of man
who has seen tho world and then comes
to her as the one woman of all her sex
who can make him happy. This sometimes
pleases her vanity and love OF conquest,
but she rs not many years older before she
discovers that she has satisfied those feel
ings at a very high cost. There Is another
type OF girl who rather fancies man who
is what is called fast But that sort of
girl Is plainly ignorant of what Is meant
by that word as applied TO man. If she
were not she would be very apt to change
the adjective to vulgar And az she ma
lures she finds this out. 1t Is only young
men of upright lives who can hope TO win
the favor and love of girls of high motives,
tho girls who make the best wives. IT, at
times. girls seem TO favor young men of
another kind, the glamour is simply trans
itory. 1t IL rare, very rare. that a girls
better instincts do not lead her to the
higher grade of young men. An upright
life never fails of reward, and of the high
est reward, from the hand of woman.

the idea that Montana had a rare future
as a racing country, and that IL rested In
his power to be largely instrumental in
developing IL. With that idea still firm in
his mind. DAILY will, II is said. attempt to
organize a circuit of trotting, pacing and
running meetings in Montana to last the
entire season from spring to fall. Part of
the plan is to offer no less than $500, 600 in
stakes and purses, and thus attract the
better grade of western and California
owners. .a sos .
DAILY is one of the largest and richest
owners of both thoroughbred and trotting
and pacing stock in America and a man
of such ample means that a world of
financial backing is assured any project
he may undertake He is well satisfied
that a Montana circuit could be made
successful in every way, and thus do
away with the necessity for western own
ers shipping their stables hundreds of
miles In quest of prize money.
While the details of Days ideas are
not known fully the circuit would include

The South Butte cases are all doing
well, improving rapidly and no new
cases have been developed in that sec
ton. The houses, however, are still
kept under quarantine. AS the disease
is believed to be effectually checked, II
is probable that the South Butte school
will be reopened Monday morning. The
city board of health met last evening
to consider the matter and also to con-
slider the matter of taking action re-
specting why physicians do not report
promptly to the health Office cases of
contagious disease. This is a misde-
