Buffalo, Dec. Robert Earl disap-
peared from his home in Rochester
three years ago and no trace could be

 Stagg-A. Alonzo as he signs him self-is lover of baseball more than of any others of the outdoor sports. He tells little story of his experience while studying at Yale. as follows:
 "I was earning my way through Yale, and among other jobs that had to take to increase the amount of my income, was that of waiter. It was my business to wait upon the tables for the students. The work was not hard and guess I did it we'll. My folks were unable to provide me with luxuries or even the money necessary for varsity education. I had pitched for the blue team and with considerable success Time and again l received offers from league teams to don uniforms and pitch professional ball. The idea of terminat- ing my university career, even tenn porarily when I had planned to devote my life 10 the ministry was distastefui, but the financial offerings were pow erfully tempting. At last had all but suceumbed to the promise of Sl,Ooo month made by the New York baseball club, when was waited upon by a com- mittee of Yale alumni. These gentle men told me that if 1 left Yale the blue would have no pitcher capable of 1ac- ing Harvard the next spring 1ale would be bowed in defeat, they urged.
 ."The money offer for my services was large. The alumni of course had no desIye to offer me remuneration to re- mafh with the university nine. l put the greed that is in every man behind my back, told them I would stay With my alma mater because loved old Ell and pitched the blue to success. don t mind saying that it required all the nerve that 1 had to make this sacrl- fee for my alma mater But l can also say with equal fervor that l am now glad that I did stick to the piteher's 8 box on the diamond where the varsity got the glory and the students ths hoarse throat from shouting.

ROME OF OLD.
The City as It A peared to the Hero oi Story of the Twelfth
 Century.

Gilbert had reached Paris in the train of Duke Godfrey in September; the Christmas bells were ringing when he first caught sight of the walls and tow CTS of Rome, As he drew rein On the crest of low hill, the desolate brown waste of the Campagna stretched be hind him mile upon mile to nortLward toward the impenetrable forests of Viterbo, and Rome was at last before him. Before him rose the huge, half. ruined walls of Aurelan, battered by Goth and Saracen and imperial Greek; before him lowered the fortress df Ha- drian's tomb, vast, impregnable, fero- cious. Here and there above the broken cancellations of the city's bat dement's rose dark and slender towers square and round, marking the places where strong robbers had fortified themselves within the city. But from the point where Gilbert halted Rome seemed but long brown ruin. with portions standing whole, as brown as the rest under the bright depths of vaulied blue, unfecked by the least ilttCS LII ClOud III lllC AudtShlSSS clearness of the winters morning Profound disappointment came upon him as he looked. With little knowl- edge and hardly any information from others who had journeyed by the same road, he had built himself an imaginary city of unspeakable beauty, wherein graceful churches rose out of the sunlit streets and fair open places planted with lordly avenues of trees. There, in his thoughts, walked companies ei men with faces like the face oi the great Bernard, splendid with inno- cence, radiant with the hope of life Thither. in his fancy, came the true knights of the earth, purified of sin by vigils in the holy places of the east, tc renew unbroken vows of chastity and charity and faiqh. There, in his dream dwelt the venerable father of bishops l the vicar of Christ, the successor o1 Peter, the spotless head of the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic church l There, in his heart, he had made the | dwelling of whatsoever things are up
 right and just and perfect in Heaven
 and pure and beautiful on earth. That
 was the city of God, of which his sou
 was the architect, and in which he wa.
 to be dweller, in peace that should
 pass understanding. Marion Craw ford, in Century.

any other city in America" he ex- claimed with much warmth. And now comes Dr. Harper advocating na- tional university. It is wonderful idea, and one for which he is entitled to a great amount of credit"
 Why, bless his simple soul, if he should ever intimate to .Dr. Harper that he was entitled to any great amount of credit for originating such scheme he would laugh at him.
 Dr. Harper is certainly agitating the question of national university, but only a Chicagoan would ever intimate that the idea was new. Dear, old George, the hero of a chestnutty cherry tree story thought of the same thing hundred years ago, and thought of it in a more substantial way than any Chicagoan has done so far, for he left $25, ,o00 of his accumulated wealth to be applied by congress in building such university, which, by the way, now amounts to nearly $4,0000o0 with the accumulated interest.
 But even with this starter there is an abundance of room for agitation of the subject, and may Dr. Harper succeed in his efforts and be able to call upon con- gress to produce the legacy of Washing ton with the interest.

this by the local vaudeville managers every one of whom are anxious to ob, tain the attraction for their respective play houses, where the public would be permitted to view the bestowal of the allotted number of strokes imposed by his highness at the uniform price of ten-twent-thirt. Some of these man. agers have considered the matter so far as to intimate that if the proper protec- ton was offered them against similar productions in rival houses they might divide profits with the city. This is a big item, for Chicago is certainly in need of cash.

 "It does, indeed. It so often happens that I am employed by the husband without the knowledge of the wife, or bv tbe wife without the knowledge ol the husband. Even with the utmost tact one gets one's self disliked, but that I must put up with. The other day one of my clients asked me to come to his house 10 break a dinner service, I dined there and made myself as pleas ant as I could, and told several good stories. But, then, 1 also broke the dinner service, or most of it, and it was one to which my hostess was much at taehed. She said to him afterwards Il will never have that brute in my house again!' ,
 And what did he say?"
 "He said: I fully agree with you. my dear. To the best of my belief the man was drunk If he had not been the son of an old college friend should never have asked him at all.' That was little mean; but, then, it was neces- sarv for him to cover himself in some way, and as I never break dinner serv- ice under e25 I received some solatium for the indignity."
