TO STOP CLASS BUSHES.
University of Chicago Thinks the
@Fun1 Too Brutal

Chicago. Nov. 20.-Alarmed by the
death of a student at the Massachus-
etts School of Technology last week
while engaged in a class rush, the facui-
ty of the University of Chicago warned
the students Of that Institution that no
class rushes would be permitted here
after at the university and intinated
that those found participating in an
outbreak of that kind would be expelled.
This action was the result of reso-
luton passed by the university council
condemning rushes and declaring that
they should be stopped. The resolution
was read to the junior college students.
consisting of the two great rival classes,
the freshmen and the sophomores. at
chapel by Dean George E. Vincent.
The action of the faculty at this time
is due to the fact that a rush was being
planned in a quiet way, by the students
for next Friday night.

SCHOOL CHILDREN AID.
New York Pupils Send $4,000 to
Galveston.

New York. Nov. 2O.-Substantial help
will be given to the public schools at
Galveston, Texas, by the teachers and
pupils of the public schools Of this city.
The hurricane which 1esola ted Galv
destroyed the schools there.
President Miles NJ. O'Brien, Of the local
board of education, issued a circular ad-
dressed to the local principals and teach
ers requesting them to take up a sub
scription, and this has been done. The
officials of the school board for Man
haitian and The Bronx nave been busily
in. It is estimated that the amounts
raised in the two boroughs viii not be
less than $4,000
President O'Brien says that while sub
scrfptions are not ordinarily permitted
in the schools, he deemed this cause to
be SO worthy that he violated the rule
in this instance.

NEW ARMY PLAN.
Permanent Force Of $4,000 Men is
Proposed.

New York, Nov 20-High officials con-
nected with the war department, it Is
announced in a Tribune dispatch from
Washington, say that they are not go
ing to ask congress for a permanent en-
listed strength of 100, 600 men for the
regular army or for an addition to the
number of officers now on the army lists
1t is learned from authoritative sources
in the department that a bill is being
prepared which will be presented to con-
gress, providing for permanent min
imum strength of $4,000 men in the reg
tllar army and at the same time con-
ferring authority on the president TO
double this number in case of need to
100000 men This is to be done, not by
forming new regiments but by adding
enlisted men to the existing organized
companies without at all increasing the
number OF commissioned officers. This
arrangement would bring the army more
in harmony with the modern methods of
organization which tend to large COM
panies and regiments.
General Joseph r. HawIey of Con-
necticut chairman OF the senate COM
mittee on military affairs, says that as
soon as Secretary Root returns from
Cuba a bill recognizing the army on
a permanent basis viii be prepared and
introduced in both houses.
Senator Hawley is quoted as saying
in the course Of an interview:
In my opinion an army of not less
than 100000 and perhaps more. should
be maintained at the present time. In
the near future, of course, there may
be cause for a reduction. I think a
measure might be passed empowering
the president to use his discretion to a
great extent in determining the exact
strength of the army, not, of course, to
exceed the maximum fixed by congress.
Under conditions such as those existing
at present, for instance, the president
could recruit an army of whatever pro-
portions he deemed necessary to handle
the Filipino insurrection and upon the
conclusion Of that work he could reduce
the number OF troops in proportion to
existing needs This. I think, would be
a most excellent solution of the whole
prDi1leru }"

THE RIDICULOUS.

II Christina Christofel had been
weighed in the balance, she would not
have been found wanting. Indeed, she
would have been found to be overpro-
vided. Christina was a large baby when
she was born-so large that the nurse
had to split open the sleeves of the lit
tie shirts to get them IN the dimpled
arms, and to put strings in the neck
bands of the embroidered frocks. At
the age of 2, Tiny, as she was %inconsist-
emily called, was as large and robust
as most children of 5. At 13 she had
her full growth and vas ashamed to be
seen with the little girls in her grade
at school. =
Her thirteenth year was a distressing
period for Tiny, for she made the mis-
cradle discovery that she was ridicu-
lous. She had suspected it for some
time, but the remarks which she over
heard, and the unwillingness of certain
trig girls she knew to be seen with
her, confirmed her in the suspicion.
Moreover, she began to study her mir
ror. There was no doubt about it
the large neck, with it's pink-tinted
CTedSeS Oh ueSn, the SOU uOuUlS GILL,
the big arms and overconspicuous
bust, the great waist girth, and the
heavy hips were distinctly ridiculous.
The night that Tiny actually realized
1t she wept. 1t was a beautiful night,
as it happened, and she was sitting by
her window. The moon flooded the
world with a sort of blush light. Only
a few stars were seen, pale and inef-
fectual in the midst of the chastened
splendor. The trees were unreal and
shadowy, the breath of the wind indie
scribably caressing. Something in the
glory Of this night filled poor Tiny
with a longing and regret to which she
could give no name. She realized dim
ly, as a child might, that the great joys
of womanhood would be hers.
No lover would ever creep out OF the
blue moonshine to murmur beneath
her balcony-providing she had one.
She could never be dignified nor inn
pressive, nor fascinating. 1t was sim
ply her destiny to be fat. She was
doomed to drag about a fatiguing bur-
den of flesh, which would be her shame
and hindrance. Sic looked at her soft
ly tinted flesh with loathing. She felt
she would have endured any torture tC
have got rid of it.
Seven years later after Tiny had
been graduated from the state univer-
sity and had returned to her home, she
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-03-15

happened to be called upon to enter
tain one of her brothers friends for all
entire evening. The friend, who was
named Quinton Sherry, had come to
spend a fortnight with her brother
James, and James being out of town
upon the evening of young Sherry's ar
rival, Tiny did what she could. She
had hated to meet him, for she always
disliked to have men look at her. She
was particularly embarrassed when she
met Sherry, for he was an uncommonly
small man. She was almost a head
taller than he and fully twice his
width. She wanted to yell with laugh
ter as they sat facing each other in
the drawing-room.
For the next fortnight she was al
most at peace. The world seemed for
the time being to be made up not of
material things, but of ideals. UnsIs-
pected beauties came to light in her
thought; she, who had always hated
herself, began to enjoy herself, pre-
scented to herself as she was by her
lovers appreciation and fattery. For
they were lovers. There was no doubt
ABOUT 1t. lie COlU ner So one night
when the moon burned blue, just as
it had that night five years before, when
she discovered sorrow, and she
stopped over and kissed him. She had
to stoop quite a way. Then, suddenly,
all her fabric of joy tottered and fell
in a ridiculous ruin about her feet. She
laughed harshly and snatched her hand
from his and fed to her room. The
next morning he received a cruel note.
Il will not be made a spectacle" it
said. I'VE would be ludicrous if we
married. We cannot afford to furnish
material for the jests of u friends.
We have no business even to suffer
only the beautiful and interesting nave
a right to suffer. Please never let me
see you again. Where has your sense
of humor been while you have been
making love to me? l shall laugh to
my last day, thinking of it."
The letter was really a cry of pain,
but Sherry was too hurt to realize it,
He did as he was told. He went away
and never saw her again.

Tragedies of the Great Canon.

Tragic stories are told of men who
have lost their lives in the search for
precious metals which may lie hidden
or uncovered here, says Harriet Mon
roe in the December Atlantic. The
great primeval flood cut this broad V
through all the strata of rock, and all
their veins of metallic ore, down to the
earliest shapeless mass, leaving in it's
wake the terraced temples and towers
which seem to have been planned by
some architect of divinest genius to
guard their inaccessible treasures to
the end of time. And the river, rising
far to the north among the mountains
rich in mineral, has been washing for
ages. the sands away and depositing
this gold and silver and lead in the still
crevices of the inaccessible chasm.
Here the earth laughs at her human
master, and bids him find her wealth
if he dare, and bear it away if he can.
A young Californian who accepted the
challenge, and set forth upon the tur-
gid water to sift it's sands for gold,
never emerged with his hapless men to
tell the story of his search. Only Gear
the brink of the cleft are a few miners
burrowing for copper, and sending
their ore up to the rim on the backs of
hardy burros; as who should prick the
mountain with a pin, or easur the
ocean with a cup.

ENGLISH CRANKS.
The Eccentricities of Genius Sometimes
Prove Ridiculous

When l lived at Newport, r. l., from
1854 to 1878, says Col. T. w. Higginson,
in the October Atlantic, there was a
constant procession of foreign visitors,
varying in interest, and often quite
wanting in it. / remember one emf
nent literary man who, in spite of all
cautions to the contrary. appeared at a
rather fashionable day reception in
what would now be called a golf suit,
of the loudest possible plaid, like that
of the Scotch cousin in Punch" who
m down thus dressed for church to
the terror of his genteel cousins. In
this case the visitor also wore a spy
glass of great size, hung round his
neck, all through the entertainment.
Another highly connected Englishman,
attending an evening reception given
expressly for him, came into the parlor
Win his hat and umbrella in his hand,
declining to be parted from them dur
ing the whole evening; which suggest
ed to a clever Newport lady the story
of the Snowman who exhibited a pic
ture of Daniel in the lions den, and
pointed out that Daniel was to be dis
tinguished from the lions by having a
blue cotton umbrella under his arm. In
this case, the lady remarked that the
conditions were reversed, since it was
the lion that carried the umbrella.
