You deserve good treatment after the fight you put up. I feel deucedly obliged to you. Come back and give me chance to talk it over and thank you" Jones flushed and returned with him.
 In the Tanning apartments the daughter of the house set forth a whole tray-full of beefsteak obtained stealth fly from the pantry, and sticking plas- ter and bandages. And she applied the remedies with her own fair and gentle fingers while all three shook convuleive- ly at the ludicrousness of the situation. Her mother heard their subdued hilari- ty with painfully mixed emotions for 1t was now almost midnight.
 Jones began to thank her all over again with his hand on the door knob. She only looked critically at the handkerchief tied across his eye and said; "Well, you were rather hard to mend, but I've brothers of my own!" They choked down their laughter for the hundredth time, and the two young men went forth into the quiet night.
 It was about half-past two in the morning when Cutler and Jones final ly parted, They had sat on Jones' door, step till some one opened second-sto- " window and entreated them to fln- ish their conversation in Timbuctoo or Jericho When they had talked for an hour on the corner policeman thought they had better take walk Then they saw each other home pendu- lum- ashion some six or seven times And what they found to say you must think out for yourself.-Arthur E.

had passed a corner group of tough looking loungers, and one of them seemed to have made some remark, for immediately Cutler brought up with a jerk. Then Miss Earnings voice was
 raised in tone of frightened remon- strance. They began to walk on again, hoarse laugh went up from the group, and another remark was sent after
 them. Then Cutter stopped short, whirlingly disengaged his arm from the girls terrified clasp, and charged back. Before Jones had worked into his best clip the "aristocrat's" hard white fist had gon in once, and one of the hood lums was staggering away, splitting blood and swearing horridly.' Jones
 made the last fifty yards in track time.

younger feminine duties are assumed 1 by certain of the older contingent of which I have just spoken, and 1t is a
 cheering and inspiring sight to see a gay young thing of sixty-five or seventy fit into q restaurant with music roll under her arm and with other indica- tions of the irrepressible conflict in this strenuous intellectual life. It is indeed delightful to live in a community where the onward and upward march to per- fected feminine endeavor never ceases, and where the capacious green bag may reveal not only the knitting for spare moment, but the score of the weeks symphony and the text of the latest philosophical flight.
 The Boston newspapers have their good points but they cannot be &C., cused of catering too liberally to vest ern visitors The longer one resides in Boston the more firmly he is convinced that for all practical purposes the country terminates at Pittsfield, Mass. For three days I eagerly scanned the daily prints for tidings from Lake Michigan and vicinity, but the only mention of Chicago was in connection with maximum temperature' and temperature at p. m." This was conclusive proof that Chicago is still on the may, but 1t did not quite satisfy the soul hunger. Just as I was on the point of addressing a letter of com plaint to managing editors, in general, my eye caught a Chicago date. At last something had happened west of Chatham Four Corners! Something, indeed. had happened. John J. Rooney, the giant gripman, had downed Paul Pons of France in wrestling contest! A bas FTance! Vive Cook county!
 But what if John and Paul decline to continue their amiable struggles on the carpet? What if they refuse to grant and gronn and bear fardels that the name of Chicago may be glorlfied and lperpetuated in eastern newspapers? Pray, represent to them in behalf of the exiles the burden of obligation which rests upon them. In these strenuous days 1t is incumbent on Chicago to wrestle her way to the front and into the columns of the eastern press.

these stimulating and comforting head
 lines in the editorial columns: "Our i Wretched Streets "The Row in the
 Council Chamber Surely" quoth he,
 human nature is the same the world i over What matters it that we are in 1 Boston or Chicago Edgewater or Coo 1 lodge's Corner, Goose Island or Pride's 8 | Crossing? It is the same old story of
 the same old row in the council cham
 Der, the same old cry of indignation at
 the same old streets" And he fell into
 peaceful and refreshing slumber and
 dreamed that the Bath-House had been
 called to the pastorate of Old South
 church.
 However, in all justice, 1t must be
 said that if Boston's streets in their all
 legged decadence excite the animosity of
 the old inhabitants they are pleasant spectacle to the exile from Cook. Per- ~hape they do not come up to the re-
 quirements of the boulevards of the
 New Jerusalem, as specified by St.
 John, but they are so distinctly an inl- provement on the style of thorough fare popular in Chicago as to call for a
 few verbal bouquets If the Boston newspapers complain of Boston streets, what would they say If ithe had to contend with the Chicago article. Probably they would say nothing. There are misfortunes and sufferings too eloquent for words.
 I have acquired bag, a nice black bag. Everybody who is anybody in Boston carries a bag. It may be a cloth bag or a leather bag, and its color may be black, green, brown or dark blue, according to the fancy--and com plexion-of the bearer. Mine Is a cloth bag, because have been told that it indicates the literary predisposition and suggests books and pamphlets. While have bought this bag I have not as yet appeared with 1t in public, but am practicing diligently at home Tn or- der to carry it unconsciou6ly and with that airy grace that distinguished the person to the manner born. Carrying a bag in Boston is like riding a bicycle for the first time. You are constantly in fear that you will run into somebody and betray your ignorance of the cus- toms and manners of polite society.

 Bringing my Cook county discrimina- tion of manners with me, have put into effect the rule of rising and surren- dering my seat to elderly ladies. Here is where I make a fatal mistake for while there may be women hereabouts under sixty-fve years of age, they ev- idenLly do not ride in the street cars. The Boston woman of sixty-five and upward is numerous and very well pre- served. She has eyes severe and gowns of formal cut, and when she enters the car she does so with a precision and de- termination of manner that suggests that there is a question before the house, and that 1t is her intention to debate 1t. When I rise-as I always do to surrender my seat to this imposing I find it on the tip of my tongue to say mechanically: Madam, have you voted?"

Differences That Were Developed Dur- ing Their University Life-Some of the Epfthets They ShOwered on Each Other-NIeeting With Ruflians-All Harmony Afterward.

This is a story from university set on a hill, and in the present state of national evolution and pbolitics the moral of the incident should not be hid den under busfel. Bird Van 2. Cutler
 of New York city, and Henry Jones of
 Concordia, Kan, Gf these are not their real names. they are at least built closely after the originals) played the leading parts in 1t; and 1t occurred in
 their final year. For some time, and with cause, they kept 1t quiet; but now that they have both gone off to the ends of the earth there is no longer any good reason why the tale should be withheld. And doubtless neither of them would be unwilling to have others profit by the sermon preached that memorable spring evening.
 From the day of their coming togeth- CT as freshmen they had disliked each other. Primarily 1t was an antipathy of temperament; yet as first impress sions must of necessity be rather of ex- ternals than of the real, inward man, this might in time have worn away. But all things conspired to increase 1t. The fact that Jones early made it known that he was not only populist, but also socialist--a very "Red' of the proletariat-an that Cutler came of the buest of old republican stock, did not tend to draw them together. And in their college politics they differ ent as diametricalIy as in their nation- al More than all, the too well-defined caste distinctions in the social life of the university emphasized and intensi- fled the differences between the two young men. In their first three years they had scarcely been on the same side in anything, and in their last year they were leaders of rival factions From October to March they did not eX- change twenty civil words.
 '' No reason for it?'" Jones burst out when his room mate laughed at him for refusing to represent his class with Cutler In the final debate against the juniors. " No reason for it?' Why, blame it, man. I've the best of reasons I loathe the prig and all his traditions He may be half clever in some ways, and isn't so bad on the field, but take him in everything else, and what is he pul d eiCiiliousS DUH 1.-THE | eitAicl t1 high-nosed, fashion-plate, Fifth avenue puppy?

posed to one another by nature. Edu-
 cation only makes us see our differences
 more clearly. It ought to make us
 hate each other more It.
 Oh come, old chap, interrupted the
 other, you know education oughtn't to | do any such thing"
 "Well, it does, then; you see that i yourself,' continued Jones, hotly. l He's an aristocrat, and I'm demo- | crat--up to the hilt, tool intend my
 whole life to be leveled at what he rep
 resents, and don't see the use of hold 1 ing off while I'm in college"
 "Go to bed, Henry, go to bed!" ex-
 horted his unsympathetic nearer.
 Cutler rarely spoke of his pet aver
 sion, but his dislike of Jones was none
 the less intense for that. He's such
 an unlicked cub" he used to say.
 Hes the genuine Philistine-will be
 the perfect demagogue when he's prop
 erly developed. Do you remember that
 night when he said that culture is only another word for educated snobbery'--
 and went on to remark that 'Moderns
 and classics give the order Its badge and shibboleth?'N No doubt to him Jow- ett is a sort of flunkey to the nobility.
 He thinks mathematics and political economy offer the only broad and libe-
 ral education. They give you such a grasp of the realities of life--they bring you down to first principles. you know There's no forthy literary dec- oration' about them. They deal with a n, hin, ca1fiy Gbn1 I see what philosopher like that squan- ders his time in varsity for. He ought to be out running a soup-kitchen or carrying the bod for q model tenement contractor"
 In college their attitude toward one another was well known. Their ac- quaintances often commented on it, and their friends had secret fears lest they might some time come to blows. Therefore there was general stupefac- tion when Cutler came down the east corridor one morning with a St. An drew's cross of sticking plaster on his neck, and meeting Jones-who had an eye like well-used palette-gave him that eXpansively refiniscent sort of grin which is commonly supposed to be confined to old friends who have not had the dullest of times the night be- fore. And neither of them would ex plain the marvel. Ask Jones'" said Cutler with a laugh. Fraid I can't tell you. There's girl in It," was all that could be got out of the socialist
 The truth was that they had been to- gether the night before, and they had not had the dullest of times. But it was none of their own choosing. At about a quarter to eleven accident had put them on the same scollege- bound trolley Cutler was with an "anneX" girl, Miss Tanning, and as the vacant seat in the car was beside him, Jones stood on the platform. But as the lat | ter and Miss Tanning both lived on the same street, all three got off at the same corner. Jones knew where the | young lady lived, and waited till the pair had walked on some half a block. | He did not want to pass them while | they were saying good night. His [ pride had an absurdly youthful fear of | ais being suspected of spying

they desired to acknowledge he had
gained during his long attachment at
