Reasons For So Doing.

Reasons For So Doing.
Tho young man was filled with many
sorrows. He was home for day or two
after the spring examinations at Var
ward, and he had bad tidings. Athletics
and smoking concerts at the Greek let
ter clubs had worked havoc with the
theorems Of Pythagoras and the In
tricaoies Of Sophocles, but he resolved
to put bold face upon the matter and
make clean breast of it,
Accordingly the young man hied
himself to the down town office of the
old gentleman, where the latter was
cutting coupons.
Father "said the youth, with down.
cast eyes, II have bad news"
The old gentleman slit off small
slice of his fngerwlth agitation, sighed
deeply and prepared himself for q blow.
"Well, what sit this timer Gambling?"
"Oh, nothing 80 frivolous' respond
ed the young man bravely. "To tell the
truth, papa, have taken my examina-
lions at harvard, and l have been
pluoked
The old gentleman scratched his head
quizzically. "Piucked of what--your
pinfeathers2"
"You don't understand the serious
ness of it, fear," rejoined the youth.
81 have funked. That means that it
will require another year before I can
possibly graduate.
The fond parents face was illumined
with supreme delight. Grasping his
sons hand, he cried, with ecstasy:
Congratulations, my boy! You do me
proud, pon my soul, you dol Another
year, did you say? will write the pres
ident this minute to make it two
years.
1.-Two? Why 80, father" was tho
amazed query.
Because, my pet and PRIDE" said
the fond parent, 1.-THE longer you stay
at harvard the longer you will keep out
of Wall street. 1t costs me only $4,000
year to keep you in the swim there;
but, say, l tremble for the time when
you get down here and the gang finds it
out 1t will cost ne 5000, 900 a year to
keep you in the swim then. Here, my
son, here is an extra thousand for you
You do me proud!'
And the Young man went his way
wondering, for these things were moro
than Greek to him. &c. Z. Barns in

The appointment Of James H. Hughes
as secretary Of state has caused complica-
ton regarding the issuing OF marriage Ii.
Censes.
1t is always the custom for the secretary
of state to sign several hundred at a time

they are called for.
When William H. BoyCe resigned
number of the blank licenses with his
signature were on hand in the clerk of
the peace's Office ut the Court House. A
conference was held and it was decided to
use the blank forms
June II was the last day Mr. Boyce was
secretary of State IL has been necessary in
filling out the blanks to date them on
June II ever since.
Several prospective grooms who pur-
chased licenses rushed into the Office yes
to-day bringing back the papers, claiming
that they were defective on account of
the date.
Deputy Clerk Of the Ponce Janver Is
kept busy explaining the complication to
The men. In some cases they are n little
dull of comprehension and want licenses
dated on the day they are isIuSd to them.
III ere are still about 200 of the blank
forms signed by Mr., Boycc and the likli-
hood is that people will be- getting married
for several months on licenses dated in
