Islip and have handsomely furnished
club rooms on Main street. Smith de-
sired to become a. member OF the club
The initiation through which he passed
was one which he is not likely to forget
for some time
As the candidate entered the door OF
the club a bucketful of sawdust sus-
pended on q shelf overhead was over
turned, he says. Smith was completely
blinded for the time being. While en-
gagged in freeing himself from the saw
dust Smith says he was seized by
number of the initiators and blindfolded
and then compelled to disrobe-
There followed q series of Affections
which. according to Smith, puts West
Point hazing methods in the shade
Among other things he says he was
showed backward through a large win
dow light. BY this time he was thor
oughly frightened, although uninJured-
and 1t was deemed necessary TO allow
him a breathing spell. The Caledonians,
he says. pumped him down in a CHAIR
which had been followed out in the
center and filled with Tnolasses.
It required but an instant to convince
Smith he had rested sufficiently, but
the Caledonians thought otherwise, and
he was compelled TO sit in the molasses
fer some time. Then he was allowed to
dress and the Caledonians proclaimed
him one OF them.
Smith told his father Of the initiation
when he returned home and the latter
was so enraged he threatens to take the
matter into court. The CaledonianS
masked during the initiation. and this
makes it difficult to make complaint
against any particular member.

POETS MINED Up.
Verses by DR. Gunsaulus Published as
Eugene Fields.

Chicago. Feb. 16.-Can an author be
called a plagiarist fer publishing verses
of his own composing2 This is the ques-
ton raised by a combination Of circun
stances as peculiar as they are amusing
circumstances which concern q minis
ter and two newspaper men. The minis
ter is the Rev. Frank w Gunsauiuss the
newspaper men. the late Eugene Field
and Slason Thompson. The circumstan-
ces are as follows.
"On January 5 and H. 1895. and on Sep
TENDER II and October OF the same
year certain poems appeared in a Chi
cagO newspaper in the column headed
s.Sharps and F'lats''-a column of which
Mr. Field was known to be the editor.
lit was generally supposed he was the
author Of all prose and verse published
in the column and not credited to Ctner

titled Already Jan 81. The Coming

Came (Oct 30. All We're ~ublished

changes in the second and the last one.

published in the Chicago newspaper

Late last year Slason Thompson,
friend and co-worker of Eugene Field,
collected in two volumes what he con-
sidered to be the best of Mr.. Fields
contributions to the newspaper and pub
lished them under the name of t'Sharps
and Flats In the second Of these vol
urnes appeared the four poems which
Field had published five years before,
and which Dr. Gunsaulus had put for
ward as his own Thus Mr. Thompson
placed what seemed to be the last seal
Of authenticity upon Fields authorship
OF the poems
And yet the poems We're written by
DR. Gunsaulus, were given by him to
Field and were published in the Sharps
and Flats column

IN THE AIR.
The Germs of LaGrippe Are Con-
veyed Through the Atmosphere.

No one can escape the La Grippe germ
because when an epidemic of the disease
is prevailing the air is laden with it.
The reason everyone does not have
the disease at the same time is because
the persons who are enjoying perfect
health are able to successfully resist and
throw OF the infection. while those. who
for any reason are not in the best Of
health fall ready victims
The first symptoms are those of acute
catarrh, resembling d hard cold and if
prompt treat ment is applied at this time,
it can easily be broken up; one of the
best remedies at this stage is Stuart's
erywhere and if taken freely, say one
tablet every hour or two for two OF
three days, the danger of pneumonia
and serious complications win be
averted.
The Rev. L. z. Palmer. Baptist clergy
man of Ceresco Mich, makes q state
ment of interest to all catarrh and grip
Tablets have certainly been a blessing
to me. I have used them freely this fall
and winter and have found them a safe
guard against La Grippe and catarrhal
troubles from which I had suffered for
years feel that can freely and con-
scientfously recommend them.
Persons who suffer from catarrh OF
to La Grippe and such win find a pleas
ant convenient and safe remedy in this
new catarrh cure

posed entirely Of harmless antiseptics
and may be used as freely as necessary

present the begging letter. He was un-
der instructions TO visit all Of the big
downtown Office buildings. At noon on
Saturday Marshall met his pupil on
Park Row near the bridge entrance.
The scheme had worked to perfection.
Theodore, in his new suit and his clean
linen. did not look in the least like
beggar. He had been schooled with
great care. and made his appeals in a
manly. straightforward way that
touched hearts and purses Instantly
Without half trying he gathered in five
dollars in halves, quarters and dimes.
Marshall took the money from him, he
said. and treated him to "bang-up"
dinner
The boy began to realize his own
value then and started ont on his own
hook to collect. He did so we'll that he
decided to go home and astOnish his
parents. When he had told his story,
his father went to the Childrens So
ciety in Brooklyn and related the par
ticulars Of the new century enterprise
in which his son had embarked The
officers of the society advised that the
Gerry society of New York be informed,
and when this was done Agent King
started out on a search and arrested
Marshall.
