ROMANCE OF A COIN.
ChiOS16 Mans Soavenir, Given TO
HIS Sweetheart An '02,
Comes Back.

Thirty-seven years ago Maj. s. Rich
ardson, of Rosalie court, in Woodlawn,
enlisted in the confederate army. One
day lately came a strange sequel to the
romance of his enlistment. Mai. Rich
ardson is a southerner, and when he
donned the gray uniform he parted
from southern girl who was his sweet
heart, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Give me some trinket for keep
sake" he asked her.
She agreed to give him q keepsake if
he would give one to her. Womanlike,
she asked for gilt insignia in his coat
collar, which designated the young SOL
dier's rank.
mo, can't give you that" he re-
piled, but I'll make you present of a
25-cent piece with my name stamped
upon it."
The coin he gave her was dated 1874,
and across one side was engraved IS.
Richardson" From that day to this
the major has never heard from his
southern sweetheart. He came north
after the war, and is now living in Ro-
sale court. A few days ago Maj. Rich
ardson had a note from bank IN the
city saying that there was coin there
with his name on it. MAJ. Richardson
came downtown post haste. The coin
was dated 1874. It was the keepsake he
gave his sweetheart 81 years ago. Mai.
Richardson is married, and has several
grandchildren.

No Radical Changes.

There will be no marked change
in the standard or schedule of studies
at the State University during. the
coming college year, excepting Ill the
new school Of mechanical engineer
ing, which will be made broader in
it's field owing to the addition of a
new professor, George F. Blessing of
Kentucky.
DIR. Stubs, in referring to the Uni
versity requirments for the present
year, said:
"The entrance examinations will be
practically the same az they were last
year, no more subjects and no more
diNcult.
@The requirments for graduation,
however, are to be advanced as much
as is practicable. It is the intetion of
tho faculty and regents to keep the
graduation standard high"
A new department for physical
culture for young ladies will be added
this year. Miss Ada Edwards of In.
diana will take charge Of It. 1t will
be remembered that Miss Edwards
gave eminent satisfaction last year in
tho capacity OF basket ball coach -

Sam Houston and his coru..

Prof. Hiram Corsun of Cornell
University used to be- a reporter for
the United States Senate and tells
this story about Sam Houston:
awe reporters took turn and turn
about each for an hour. One day
was sitting idly in the reporters gall
lery waiting my turn and looking on.
Presently my attention was drawn by
Sam Houston. Huge of frame, he
was particularly huge Of feet, and
those extremitiee we're rendered
more conspicuous in those days of
boots by being encased in laced shoes
On this occasion there seemed to be
an amount of pain in the feet proper
tionate 20 their eize.
@The Senator kept one upon his
knee rubbing it with an anguished
expression and periodically exchapg-
ing it for the other foot. After a
while he unlaced his shoes and drew
them off. Then the nursing of his
aching toes continued for a time as
before. But no relief came and at
last to my utter amazement, he slow
ly Invested himself Of al long blue
WOODEN stocking, and, taking the huge
jack knife with which he was wont to
pass the time whiting, he proceeded
to pare his corns in the Senate of the
United States"

SOAP SPOILS BEER.
Tive Ounces OF 1t VIII Speedily Ruin
n Million Dollars Worth
of Lager.

"Do you know that $1.CC0,CO9 worth
of beer could be utterly spoiled by two
ounces of soap?" said a Madison avenue
saloonist to n Cincinnati ELc'.irc: -.an.
"Well, it's fact. 4 little rc:.; CT soap
any kind of soap dropped iato a cask
containing hundreds of gu!icns would
knock the life ont of ii quicker than
you could say Jack Robinson. The lye
and the grease i'll the soap simply stops
the fermentation of the beer, and it
loses it's effervescence at once. Some
years ago a prominent brewing COM
pany of this town had 10000 gallons of
n particularly fine. brew stored in it's
cellars. One day 81 member of the firm
tapped one Of the casks, and suEse-
quently others, and discovered that they
had 10000 gallons of fluid that wasn't
worthas much as so much water. Every
gallon Of it was as lifeless as canal
aqua pura. A brewmaster who had a
short time previous lost his position
with the firm was suspected of the job,
in revenge for his dismissal, but the
brewing company had no proof, and, be-
sides, the man might have been inno-
cent. But there was every evidence that
soap had been used"

SUCCESS IN LIFE.
1t Ii Not the Job, But the Man-There
Are Some Possibilities in
Everything.

I'VE are forever going to begin work
in earnest Tomorrow" said Mr.. Stay
bolt, land we are never satisfied with
the job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved in it in only half-heart-
ed manner, but we are going to work in
dead earnest when we get job to suit
us, says the Chicago Tribune.
The fact is that tomorrow, when we
get to it, will be to us as to-day is to us
now. We shan't feel any more" like
work; and that other job, when we
come in actual contact with it and see
1T close at hand, won't suit us any bet
ter than the one we've got now does.
THE truth is that we are cavaliers
and shy OF work and trying to get
along just as easy as, we can. We hate
to pitch in and go at things.
"The time for us to work is now, not
tomorrow. and the job for us to collar
is the one we've got. Round that up
in style, do the work completely and
thoroughly, and you'll be astonished to
find how you'll bring II out and
what chances there are y, it; and every
body that knows about your work, or is
In any way concerned or affected by it,
as 1t is done we'll or i'll, will be delight
ed to see 1t well done-everybody likes
to see job, whatever 1t Is, well done
and pleased with the doer; and there's
money in 1t every time.
ut isn't the job that makes success;
it's the man; and don't you forget it."

CHILDREN STARVING.
Sad Case of Destitution Discovered in
Spencer.

Spencer, May I'm Beaulac's block,
on Chestnut street, there is a sad case
of restitution. The block is a large
tenement house filled with different
families.
On one of the doors of the house is a
large red sign bearing the inscription,
Beware, contagious disease in this
house" Four small children, the eldest
being eight years old, live in this tene-
ment with their grandmother, an old
lady.
Two weeks ago the mother of these
children, Mrs. Adolf Grenier, died. The
father is in Jail, having been sentenced
there two months ago for term of
four months, for drunkenness and non
support of his family.
After the mother died, the grand
mother took charge of the children
and does as much as her aged hands
will allow her for their support. About
week ago the eldest of the children
was taken sick, and the others fol-
lowed in quick succession, the disease
being chicken poX.
The youngest child, three years old,

which the doctor thinks is an ulcer,
breaking out under the eye. The child
suffers untold tortures day and night,
not being able to Sleep and cries con-
tinually for its mother
DR.. Houle is attending the children,
and he pronounces it one of the worst
cases he was ever called upon during
his professional career.
He attributes the entire sickness to
the want of food. The children are
practically dying for want of proper
food. The neighbors, on learning of
the condition of the family, are doing
