Next Recitation
 They tell this story of college prank the boys at Princeton played on Profess pr "Winky" Young. professor of as- tronomy. His recitations were recently held the first thing in the morning. and be had to admcnish the students in his division to correct the fault of tardi- ness. which he claimed was increasing in a lamentable manner. and when one of the students explained that they all studied so late at night they were apt to oversleep in the morning he kindly advised them to secure alarm clocks. which he said were one of the most val uable and useful inventions
 The next day nearly every student in the class came into recitation with an alarm clock in his pocket, which by pa- tient and united effort were set ss'thAt one would go of promptly at every sue cessive minnte of the hour. The effect can be imagined Shortly after the hEst student was called to recite one of the clocks in the pocket of boy nt the oth- CT end of the room went of with ter rible cIamor. and before 1t had finished 6 second in another part of the room madR even louder racket
 re was brief interval which the professoS utilized to call up another stu dent. but the latter was scarcely on his feet before the third clock went oh- The performance was continued for half an hour or more. when the professor. who had keen sense of humor. recognized the situation and cut short the fun by terminating the recitation The boys explained that they had followed his advice and secured alarm clocks. which they were carrying around with them because they were likely to fall asleep at most any time--St Louis Globe Il--.....-..nA

A man does not have to be in the newspaper business very many years to appreciate the full force and effect of the following taken from an ex- change: Newspaper men, as a gen. eTal rule. nave the men to fight that they have been the most charitable to in the past. When jumping of the track in a business deal or when mixed up in a piece of scandal that would mean their ultimate ruin and that of all of those dependent upon them, 1t is to the newspaper that they run first and ask clemency, but some men are so very common that even a favor of such moment to the parties concerned is soon forgotten, and the near future brings them out as the most vicious backstabbers that newspaper men have to deal with"

Sohn Barrett. former minister to Samoa, Is in London and after much persuasion has been induced to talk about affairs at Manila, where he spent some time.
 From what 1 saw at Manila, 2 said Barrett. "a feeling of great if- ritAtion existed among the Aset from the admiral to the sailors on account of the attitude and maner- vers of tbe German yessels. Only the rare fcrbeAEanoe and tact Of Dewey prevented serious conseQuen- oes. h his supreme desire to avoid friction, Dewey asked the neEspaper correspondents at Manila to refrain from sending to the papers the news of the events that happened. The admiral fesTed that popular feeling in the United States might be over excited by a relation of the happenings.
 SIt has always been difficult foz me to understand the purpose of the German adpiral ia acting as be did. It IS worthy of note that the leading German merchants at Hongkong, Singapore and Manila did not sym psthize with the conduct ol the German admiral. I know that the greatest good feeling prevails be- tween the Germans and the Ameri= cans in the far east"

The Americans found the trenches on the south bank of the river deserted which furnished them with cover, from which they could pick of the Filip.nos whenever one of them showed his head. When the rebels began firing two putfs of smoke sim ultaneously from the trenches on each side of the railrosd track showed they were using cannon, which was a genuine surprise to the Americans.
