Certainly it will if We are true to our
promises. And the day that it comes
down will be the brightest day In our
history, because it will show that we

David B. Henderson, who will be
the Speaker of the next House of Rep
resentatives, once fred a rather hot
shot at Holman, of Indiana, whose
savage opposition to any and all ap.
preparation measures earned him the
title of Watchdog of the Treasury. "
Some years ago, when all appropria.
tion for Holman's own district was up
for consideration, the latter arose,
and, departing from his usual custom,
made warm speech in it's favor.
The instant he sat down Henderson
was on his feet. 'Mr. Speaker" he
said, "the members address brings to
mind Byron's lines:
'"Tis sweet to hear the ch-dog's' hon.

The Wooden Spoon at Cambridge.

Having now had the distinction OF
providing Cambridge with Senior
Wrangler, India may one day achieve
the complementary success of win.
ming the wooden spoon" This
coveted trophy goes to the man who
comes last-as the Senior Wrangler is
first-in the mathematical honors'
list. 1t is not a distinction only in
name, for the wooden spoon is a
reality. Provided by ow-students,
it is huge, spadelike thing, decorated
with the arms and colors of the col
lege with which it's winner is asso
ciated; and as the latter passes out of
the Senate House after taking his de-
gree it is lowered from the gallery,
where it has been kept ready until
the psychological moment. 1t may
be mentioned that while the last man
in the Tripos is known as the
wooden spoon," the last dozen (of
whom he is one) are popularly desig-
mated ''the twelve apostles" A few
years ago the coxswain of the uni.
versity boat won the spoon, and the
glory of even the Senior Wrangler
paled in comparison with. his on that
occasion. London Chronicle.

1t is now almost two full centuries
since England and Scotland were
united, in 1907, under the name of
Great Britain. Yet up to the present
time the world continues to employ
the familiar terms English queen, Eng
lish army, and so on, with no mention
OF Scotland. This slight has often been
commented upon by Scotchmen, but
never perhaps more happily than at
Trafalgar. Two Scotchmen, mess
mates and bosom cronies, from the
same little clachan, happened to be
stationed near each other, when the
now celebrated signal was given from
the admirais ship: England expects
every man to do his duty. mo a

New York's Highest Point.

Perhaps the highest point in the bor4
ough of Manhattan is at Ninety-sixth
street and Madison avenue. This ia
where the New York Central Railroad
tunnel begins, and from this elevation
fine view is obtained of Harlem to
the north and the East river and Long
island to the east. One can look over
the roofs of the five-story housep of
Harlem clear to Washington Heights
and distinguish many points in the
borough of the Bronx
From here there is sharp decline
to the East river, and the tall chimney
at the foot of East Ninety-fifth street
does not look so very 1igh from this
altitude. 1t is altogether a sight well
worth seeing.

LIKE BANoUo'S GHOST.
Question of Conductors and Pennies to
the Fore Again.


1t was in suburban trolley last
Sunday that the question OF the con-
ductor's reluctance to receive pennies
in change came up again, says the New
York Herald. This penny question is
like Banquo's ghost and will not down.
woman passenger had given the con-
ductor a nickel and five pennies for
two fares. Il would rather change So
for you, madam, than take those PEN
nies," the conductor said, in
grumbling yet perfectly respt ,tful tone.
"Why?" asked the woman. Because
the company will not take them from
us. That is the only objection l have
to railroading. We must turn in nick
els or silver when our work is done"
But why do you not sometimes give
those pennies to men? You always
palm them off on women" "Well, the
women always seem to keep them
specially for us. Now, if the public
could only know what trial they are
to us sometimes they might understand
our reluctance to take them. For in
stance, one of the extras, a man who
had been out Of work for a long time
after making the number of trips re-
quired of him, found he had fifteen
pennies among his change. He did not
have cent belonging to himself, and
there was no money at home, and the
pay that was coming to him at the Of
flee for his weeks work was needed by
his wife and children for bread. They
would not take the pennies at the Of
fee, and he could not draw his pay un-
til his fares were accounted for. When,
after considerable trouble. he got three
nickels for fifteen pennies and returned
to the company's Office 1t was closed,
and he had to go home without his
pay"
