But the worst blow fell in another quar-

some time give way before the tax made

do not add to what we consider manly
beauty, to German girl they seem far
from disfiguring, and are looked upon with
positive envy by the foxes" or fresh
men. Some of these young fellows told
us that they, too, had had a few wounds
on the head, but that they were now grown
over and did not SNOWFALL this said with
wailing in their voices.
One morning we walked across the
Neckar and up its banks, We were passed
by students without number all hurrying
in one direction, going to the "Hirsch
Gosse," or 'Deer's Lane tavern whose
grounds for two centuries have been the
scene of the students duelng.
Tell it not in Gath" but few days
later We found ourselves in that same
crowd, this time piloted by much-scarred
student, who had undertaken to show us a
'nensur" This is a duel fought for sport
and scars, and witnessed by other students
and such strong-minded women as can bear
tne sight. The seventh and last contest
Tor that day was on. So we wore hurried
through the tavern to a building In the
garden, where we peered through the win
dows to room crowded with fellows
wearing every colored cap known to the
iratefnities. Two young men stood ready
in the center of the floor Their coats
lay to one side, and over the right arm and
heart were guards of felt and kid. At
signal they began, the rapiers ratified were
knocked up and friends stepped in to wipe
the blood from faces and swords.
Thirty rounds, and they had to be stop
ped. One fellow was on the point of faint
ing, and both much in need of the "mend-
ing" the doctors stand ready to give This
sounds much worse than it really was
though, to be truthful, some one, you know,
had to confess to feeling not quite so ro-
bust as usual after it was all over.
But much pleasanter, to be sure, was
another feature of students life that it was
our good luck to see The fraternities at
times open their club rooms to the ladies'.
and give them a view of a students

about the long table, the master of cere-
monies presents the katie Ente," or

that passes from lip to lip, each in turn
toasting one or the whole gay company.
The guests and students all spoke English
more or less intelligibly, yet many were
the laughs at their expense or at that of
the Americans. For the simplicity of the
words, no doubt Miss --, her dark
eyes sparkling, drank

which made the fellows believe she was
married. Thereupon young student who
had said that ''beafsteak" and linked
pickles were the only English words he
knew, sputtered out, where is the nus
band of it?"
AT the same time Miss B. was talking
to youth in much the same style as chill
dren read in the primer: "Do-you-you-
speak-English?" At length the thought
penetrated the not-too-thin Uranium of the
young Teuton, and ne shouted out, Yes

-"like-a-god." Then silence fell.

BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-.
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings a weekly profit OF
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun.
dreds Of families live comfortably
on the profits Of the sale Of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the POST
Dispatch, because it sells best,
An investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies Of the
daily Post Dispatch than the
combined sales Of the two other
English evening papers,
One Of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and go when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely wall
the streets each having his own
peculiar way Of "orying' out his
papers. .",
The situation is quito different

printed in the morning and by
six o'clock the boys and mon are
out In search of buyers.
