They do Not Want to Be Big.

1t is announced that the standard of
Williams College is to be raised and
that less help is to be given needy
students 80 that the number of students
may be kept within the capacity of the
institution. 1t seems that it cannot &C
commodate more than three hundred
young men at one time. Hamilton
College is also contemplating the adop-
ton Of similar policy for similar
reason. In these days when bigness
seems to be thing greatly to be de-
sired and when there is 80 little self
poise in some of the colleges it is in
deed gratifying to note that two institu-
tons have confidence in the mission
which they have undertaken and be.
lieve that they can continue to do the
kind of work which they have done in
the past. Because Chicago University
has a multitude Of students and be-
cause Brown has opened its doors to
women and doubled the number re-
ceiving instruction under the supervis-
ion of a man with erratic economic no.
tons and because Cornell has accomo-
dations for thousands where Williams
and Hamilton have room for hundreds
are not good reasons for abandoning
the old ideals and taking up with the
modern notion that nights and days
should be spent in strenuous efforts to
expand. Size has its disadvantages as
well as its advantages. But the small
college fills place which the large one
never can occupy. There are many
men who were graduated from the big
institutions who have sent their sons to
smaller ones. The rural college is in
many respects better than the one in
the town, for town life is distracting to
young men at the age when they
should be devoting themselves to their
books. The example of Williams and
Hamilton ought to be instructive to the
other small colleges which are apeing
the big ones.-Brooklyn Eagle.

MasOn's White Elephants.

Senator Mason says he feels a good
deal like the Eastern gentleman to
whom the Caliph OF Bagdad presented
an elephant, for his friends have pre-
septed him with pair of horses, a fine
harness costing 5000, and landau
which cost SO 200. Such compliment
would stir the soul of any man, and it
stirred Mr.. Mason's soul deeply, but he
does not know how he is going to keep
them. He will require a coachman,
who will cost him $40 or $50 month
he will have to feed the animals, to
keep them at livery stable, which will
cost him $50 or $50 more, and his sal
airy is not big enough to permit him to
indulge even in street-car rides. He
was telling his tale of woe to col
league in the Senate and wondering
what he should do. "That's easy
enough, Billy" was the reply of the
Senatorial adviser "Trade them of

was caught by the lamp on the table.
Heavensl it was no longer in the
window As this thought struck me
looked towards the ledge and saw
there white, scared face pressed
against the pane. 1t was my wife.
"Writel" growled the short ruffian.
NY only thought was to gain time.
l knew my wife was there. l knew
she would bring help.
l took the pencil in my nerveless
fingers. As l did so low growl
caught my ear. 1t caught the ears of
the villains, too. The short man
dropped his knife on the table and
turned towards the door with his re-
volver extended. The tall man drew
himself up against the wall.
"It's the dog" he hoarsely whis.
pered. "Shoot to kill, Jack"
saw the door tremble little, saw
the short Villains arm raised and my
fingers closed on the handle of the
knife he had dropped. Then as the
door slowly opened / drew back my
arm and thrust wildly at the man in
front of me. Something yellow few
through the do )rway, there was a wild
scream, heavy fall and l lapsed into
Inconsistencies again.
When l came around l was in bed at
home, with Minnie bending over me.
"It's all right, Joe," she murmured,
"they've got them both locked up safe
and sound, and the money is all right,
and the mill directors have given you
one thousand dollars of it,"
"And Jim?" l asked.
"Jim?" she cried. "Why Jim was
the tall man. 1t was all his plot to
steal the money and throw the blame
on you. And If 1 hadn't taken your
keys-don't scold-they'd have had the
money, and if it hadn't been for the
lead pencil l dulled-the man you
stabbed told the whole story-1 wouldn't
have got there in time with Hector.
The dog almost killed Jim before l
could cal him away, but amt so sorry,
because the little man says they would
have killed you if you had by any
chance suspected Jim's identity"
l reached out AMI took Minnie's
hand.
"That thousand dollars belongs to
you, DEAR" l said brokenly.
"Well," she answered, il you take
it, Joe, you may rest assured I'll bor-
bow it sooner or later"
Then she put her cheek against my
hand and laughed.
Then she cried.-Cleveland Plain

Over the mountains and far away
In the re gions of ice and snow,
Many pilgrim is trudging, to-day,
with heart full OF hope and shouting
"Yo-ho
For Klondike"
over the mountains beyond the plains,
Where the great river winds to the sea,
Many pioneer jinges his gains,
And sings In frenzied ecstacy-
For KlondiKe!
Thousands and thousands Of miles away,
In the land Of the polar bear,
Many man is digging, to-day,
Only to find that there's nothing there
In Klondikel
Many husband, many a son,
And many father, too;
Many man who Is dear to some one
Is climbing the glaciers, leading through
To Klondikei
Many mother and many wife
And many one that is dear
Is dreaming to-day of a happier life
And hopefully waiting to hear
From Klondikel
And thousands of thousands Of golden hopes
And many dream that is fair
Are destined to die on the frozen slopes
And find their graves out there

Slumber, slumber, little one, now
The bird is asleep in his nest the bough;
The bird is asleep, he has folded his wings.
And over him softly the dream-fairy sings;
Lullaby. lullaby--lullaby
Pearls In the deep
Stars in the sky,
Dreams in our sleep;
So lullaby
Sumber, sumber, little one, soon
The fairy will come in the ship Of the moon
The fairy will come with the pearls and the stars.
And dreams will come singing through shadowy
bars:
Lullaby. lullaby-lullabyl

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.-Mr.
James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones

Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked with la
grippe, and her case grew 30 serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed
to develop into hasty consumption.
Having DR.. Kings New Discovery in
store, and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and, to the surprise of all
she began to get better from first dose
and a half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DR.. Kings New
Discovery for consumption, coughs ant

An American Discovery.
Judge Morrow, an Eminent Chemist of
pringfeld, o., Finds a Remedy that
Promises to Revolutionize the
Practice of Medicine.

The present year will always be notable
one in the history Of the nineteenth century
for the many wonderful discoveries 1t re-
cords. Every branch Of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable OF which,
perhaps, have been made in the practice OF
medicine. Now comes the inform alton that
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of
Springfield, Ohio has discovered remedy
that promises to be almost infallible in cur
ing all diseases of the kidneys. So many of
the most important advances OF medical
science are made by foreign scientists, that
such report ia not only OF great import but
highly gratifying AZ well.
MOrrow's discovery, while the true in
gradients have not yet been published, is in
the form OF yellow tablet and is known to
the medical world as MorrOw's Kidneoids.
This remarkable remedy has been tried
in some OF the most severe cases OF chronic
| and acute diseases of the kidneys, and in
each case has quickly produced the most
| beneficial results.
The fact that death from Bright's disease
| shows a daily increase is an unpleasant in
| dication that disorder of the kidneys is fast
and any remedy that promises sure relief is
inded blessing to mankind.
| The symptoms OF deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require physicians dag
nosis: pain in the side and back, aching
bones, continual feeling OF languor, are
followed by impaired vision, loss OF appe.
tite, swelling of hands and feet, and 50 on
until Bright's disease gets hold.
1t is 80 insidious in its attack that the
busy man or woman too often associates
the symptoms with some trifiing ailment
until the development of the disease causes
complete collapse. With Morrow's Kid
neoids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of the
disease and effect permanent cure withou
recourse to physician or the abandonment
of their duties.
1t is said that one of the largest drug con
Germs in the United States is negotiating To-
the absolute control Of Morrow's Kdneoids
which they intend placing in every drul
without the necessity of securing physi
clans prescription.

An bring ye back ter scenes tibet now seem one

All of the troubles tibet ye shared, tibet they're

The Little Old Shoe.

1t is only a tiny shoe
That she touches with tender care
cunning little bit of thing
That baby used to wear,
And she gently raises it to her lips,
And lovingly holds it there,
1t 10 worn and faded and old,
But it brings up the happy past
She sadly signs as she thinks OF the Joys,
That were too sweet to last
In fancy she sees little child,
AS it gambols upon the ioori
An elf-iike creature with golden hair
Is cooling baby song once more,
And a tear drops down on the tiny shoe
That the beautiful dream-child wore.
"Ah, welll" she signs to herself,
~ am cursed by the willful fatesi
fused to be able to wear this shoe.
But now take number eights."

POETRY,
Vermont.

There's found within New Englands bound,
A mountain State with beauty crowned,
Where cascades flow with merry sound,
And birds pour forth their songs around
Where dwellings are with taste adorned,
And homelike scenes are ever found.
Where marble white in Rutland's shown,
Barre granite, too, from quarrles drawn,
Where parting streams two ways flow down,
Near Maple hill In Williamstown,
Where pleasant, staid Montpelier's found
And north is famous Runaway pond.
Where Champlain Lake sits like Queen,
And rivers to the ocean lean,
Where many mountain peak is seen
Clothed to the top with verdure green,
Where streams wind in and out between
Mid lovely wales that intervene.
Such is Vermont, Green Mountain State,
Where first spring month of winters break
Brings harvest time of early date,
Where trees produce the tons Of freight
OF luscious brown sweet maple cake,
Soon tourists here vacation take.
While summer months are passing by.
The flowing streams are never dry
Here rustic scenes are ever nigh
The mountain peaks rise up on high.
Great Cameps Hump is toward the sky,
Tall Mansfield all the rest outvie.
Beneath white clouds and sky of blue
Autumn leaves take on a varied hue.
Then snow in crystal fakes ensue,
The sleighs skip round, bells jingle, too.
The people here make friends anew
In kindly mood both good and true.
Green Mountain State thus brought to view
Is here set forth In lines few.
