seemed strangely quiet Perhaps they did not know Of his arrival?
 And yet they did.
 One of his scouts returned at nightfall from the nearest town and brought him newspaper. The generals eyes blazed as he unfolded it. And there on the front page under a modest two-line head he read this item:
 "It Is rumored that a lot of Spanish troops came ashore near the mouth of Squab Creek at o'clock yesterday after noon. The customs authorities and the quarantine officers have been notified and will at once investigate. Nobody knows what the Spaniards are here for, but they will not be disturbed as long as they com init no overt act"
 The general ground his teeth together.
 "Carramba!' he snorted, 'I will show theml"
 At daybreak the order was given to ad- vance Slowly the column swung forward. A moment later the lieutenant in charge of the skirmsh line came tearing back.

At that decisive instant detachment of customs house inspectors charged down on the left flank and squad of health department policemen dished at the right wing.

 Then came a sudden "click" from fifty different directions. The staff photoghaph- CTS were getting in their fine work.
 Suddenly a clear voice arose above the confusion
 "Waily, old boy" it said, Tend us your Toledo blade for a brief interval. We de- sire to sharpen our pencil"

'They're pretty well up to the tricks of the average community and have few of their own I was with the first steamboat show that ever sailed down the Mississippi, and it was almost swamped by the big licenses demanded wherever we landed. Finally, at Memphis, the thing eliminated. The merchants were up in arms against the show because they said we would take too much money away from the city. We were notified that no license would be issued and that we would not be allowed to give our show at the wharf. So we steamed out into the middle of the river. started our calliope a-piping and had our little tug ply back and forth between the shore and the steamboat. The idea of circus on board of a steamboat hit the Memphis people hard. That night we were crowded to the guards end we played three mid stream return dates in the neighborhood within a week."

I quit the show right off, bought couple of mules and an old cov- cred wagon, and had just enough left to invest in some peanuts, sugar, tartaric acid and one lemon. Talk about good friends Why, that one lemon stuck to me to the end. followed the circus with my wagon and pair, and every time the tents were pitched would mount box and sing out:

 Just like honey fiom a rose.
 So good, so sweet so sour,

Prof. Cheever, 0 fthe Milwaukee normal, whose name had been mentioned, let it be known that he would not be a candidate against Miss Swart, and Prof. Mayne, when he ar rived in Milwaukee and found he was slated as a candidate, would not hear of such a thing so long as Miss Swart was in the field In spite of her long years of teaching, profession that is not generally productive of the happiest of dispositions, Miss Swart has preserved her bright spir- its, which partly accounts for the admira- tion of her associates in the state.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MOBs.
Prof. Boyce Tells the Different Ways They
 Are Inspired.

From the New York Commercial-Adver- | stiser.
 l. Prof.; Josiah Royce, in lecture on "The Psychology of Mobs and Other Assem- blages," at Cambridge, Mass, recently said mob was an assemblage of excited per sons, but such persons were not necessarily of low order of intelligence. . It was not correct, either, to regard a mob as neces- sarily dangerous body, for it might be excited by joy as well as by anger.
 In mob every individual was inter- ested in what every other was doing and each was inspired with stronger emo- tions than he would otherwise have had. Things are done by a mob which no mem- Der composing it would have done as an in dividual. The leader makes strong sug- gestions, and all the others go in the di- rection of these suggestions There is an abolition of ordinary clearness of judg- ment, and whatever may happen on such an occasion, nobody afterward finds that the effect is anything like equal to the cause.
 The phenomena of mob are not al- ways those of excitement, for sometimes the phenomena have to do with intellect ual processes. Thus, during an excite- ment in the stock market, the process of
 
 case of intellectual processes it is some- times true that an assemblage of profess sonal men reaches hopeless condition of contagious stupidity, and no one seems able at the time to separate his own judg- ment from the common opinion.
 The most marked feature of all mobs is the negative feature; that is, that the crowd is of less intelligence than the in- telligence of any individual in it. Tie more highly trained are the members of a mob the more helpeas frenuentlv they are in excitement, because their higher training makes them less used to acting as a crowd.
 On the other hand, 1t is to be consid- cred that vast numbers of expressions of human intelligence, such as language or the English constitution, were the result of cooperation in large bodies, and from some conferences has been derived some thing of value which could not have em- anated from any one person.
 The tendencies of mob phenomena are those which lie deepest in the social na- ture. The spirit of the mob is contagious, because in human nature there is vast collection of initiative tendencies. An important part of every man is his ex- treme sensitiveness tc@ the doings of his fellows, and to their approval disap- provai of his own acts. Men are not less sensitive than women in this. respect, al- though few of them realize it, and when there comes a moment when judgment is abandoned the door is left open to sensi- tiveness and the initiative tendencies, and men act together as animals would do.
 Phe kind of assemblage which takes wise action is one in which the individual takes his principles from the crowd, but Judges the facts for himself Such an assem- blaze Is usually rather small and mutual criticism is free, each individual retaining the sense of personal responsibility.
