Much of the unerring accuracy with
which they (women and girls chased each

they grasped each rung of the ladders with

or the hollow of the foot on the rung. but
the groove at the juncture of the great toe
with the body of the foot, and they held
fast by making the back of the other toes

The Partisan who cares only to look on

The Professor Had to Wed "A. Once

From the Philadrlphl Press
Curious verifcation is said to have been
given not long ago to the tradition that
no man is allowed to become n member of
the Nassar faculty unless he be married.
If an unmarried man make application for
membership the rule is to first inquire il

The proverbial exception to this r.lle oc-
Cured i'm the case of a young nan who
sought TO fill the Nassar chair of history
not long ago, and was so acceptable in
every Way that his examiners forgot to in
quire into the most important thing Of all

Not until the day for opening the college
was at hand did any one of then, recall
how shockingiy they had left undone those
things which they ought to have done. The
young man. by that time arrived had to
confess that he was a bachelor. Well,
there was nothing for ii but the one thing,
SO the faculty hemmed and hawed a hit
and finally got 1t out that the young man
must get married.

said, otherwise you'll have to resign your

Next day I made inquiries about the

nothing to his discredit. Although greatly
impoverished. he still held his head high,
as an hidalgo, a grandee, whom no one
would accuse of direct completely in

1 made up my mind, therefore, to APP

ton he might offer of the breach of tie

He received me with the stately cour-
tesy that sits SO well upon men of his

still erect, and with keen black eyes

London under the most respectable condi-

done with Raskelf.

From midnight to morning you may see
the ragpickers fishing in the refuse boxes
which Partisan servants deposit for them
in front of the houses. They are men and
women and children, with carts and dom
keys. They defty do the first sorting
the spot, putting cast-of shoes and corsets
and clothes of every kind together, separ-
ating bottles from WORKOUT knives and
forks, putting paper into sacks, and leav-
ing the little they cannot use for the morn
ing scavenger. An hour after the yawning
concierges have opened their front doors,
at o'clock sharp, as the law provides. the
ragpickers have disappeared from the
streets, which are not for such they in
the daylight Of the luxurious city.
Slowly they make their way back to these
waste lands of Saint-Ouen. to which, with
the citys growth, they have been pushed
1elentlessly back The contents of their
carts are dumped behind their doors, and
inside the mean houses of every age and
structure the basket, lantern and hook
the signs of their profession-are put away,
while they complete the sorting of the
treasures they have brought with them.
Like all the little trades of this old
new city, they form a corporation recog
nized by the state, with their own tradi-
tons and social ranks, carefully observed
in births and marriages and funerals. The
hard times of late years have touched them
also. They feel the need of uniting, and
one of the rich merchants of this working
mems quarter has paid the expenses of a
grand reunion, procession, banquet and
general celebration which should help them
to become a real trades union.
Parisians Missed the Sight.
Invitations were sent out to ministers of
state and journalists, and to the notabilities
of the suburb. The mayor agreed to head
the procession and to preside at the dinner
and ball which were to follow. The coun-
Gil of Saint-Ouen, with it's socialist sympa-
thies, was to be represented. Only few
journalists came, however, and hardly 4
handful of Partisan sightseers. The dense
crowd that lined the march of the process
sion among the lanes of the ragpickers'
city was made Up of workmen, their wives
and children. The laughter was none the
less keen and sincere nor the sight less

We felt that he was entitled to his promo

very unlikely that the woman whom he

any special interest to whether he had

had conducted himself SO as to be credit
