CLEVER PIECE OF ACTING.
How the Girl Who Was Being Hazed
Turned the Tables on the Hazers.

Turned the Tables OH the Hazers.
The girl of my heart came home to at
tend a cousins wedding recently, relates
the Washington Post, and she stayed in
tow for two days before going back to
school for the commencement which will
make her a sophomore. 1t wouldn't be
fair to tell the name OF her school, but it's
a very excellent one, where the fashions OF
the mems colleges are followed, even to
the possession of a college yell and the
practicing of hazing.
The girl of my heart was hazed last fall.
She did not faint when the girls touched
her arms with a bit of ice and said they
were branding her with an iron. She en-
dured the ordeal so smilingly that the
girls at last determined to do something
dreadful.
They marched her through dark halls,
blindfolded as she was, opened a closet door
in a physical laboratory, snatched the band
age from her eyes. pushed her in, locked
the door and left her in the arms OF a
skeleton.
Now, a skeleton to her Is no more terri
flying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an op-
portunity to amuse herself. She Is one OF
the cleverest amateur actresses Washing
ton possesses. She let down her hair and
tangled it about her face. Her gown was
an old one, so she sacrificed II and tore 1t to
tatters. Then she waited. Presently she
heard the girls returning, She began to
Groom softly to herself a weird song. The
girls opened the door. She took no notice
of them, but went on layishing kisses on the
grinning skull, laughing idiotically to her
self the while. Finally one OF them
whispered.
Girls, she's raving mad"
That was the cue for the girl of my heart.
She raved; she tore her hair; she shrieked
when they tried to draw her away from the
skeleton; she laughed; she flung herself
about, and finally danced out into the room.
moaning in a blood-curdling way. The girls
dared not even breathe. They were CHASTITY,
They chung to each other and shuddered.
The girl Of my heart danced to the door.
caught up a knife from a table, waved 1t
with a hideous scream and sprang at them,
Then, as they huddled together in a perfect
agony OF fright, she dropped the knife and
opened the door.
well, girls" she said, drawlingly, II
hope you've enjoyed the fun. I'm sure !
have"
Then she disappeared and a dozen crest
fallen girls, too frightened to dare to go
into Mysteries, too much relieved 10 be
angry, stole quietly away They are clever
girls, the girls at that college, but the girl
Of my heart is the bell-wether OF the flock.

the government to such an enormous

of waterway across the isthmus.
Americans seem, through national
pride, to manifest a disposition to
ignore the Panama Canal, or to be-
little its importance and present
status because it is under the dlrec-
ton of Europeans. The Panama

100000; the Panama route has a

Are we to believe that the righteous

and unrighteous men who have

did not think Of wealth alone as being
the necessary thing for prosperity, his
ideal prosperous life was one full OF

may hinder happiness for the possess
or may seek satisfaction In material
things aud neglect the interests of his

happiness would be gained.
The flourishing condition of the
righteous is slow and progressive like
the growth of the cedar, the charac-

doing His work as our experience is
