"As he walked to his desk" continued

"As he walked to his desk" continued
the man who was telling the story,
"(he blackboard inscription caught his
eye. Most of us thought he would
erase it-but that wouldn't have been
Chandler. He sarcely hesitated Sec
ond, but walked over to the board, and
in hand If anything holder than the
original added the word driver. The
effect was instantaneous. a roar Of
laughter greeted the clever touch, and
Chandler had not only got out Of an
awkward predicament, but had at the
same time added to his capital of pop
ularity."
This incident reminded another Of the
Columbia men of the time when some-
body had carried into the chemistry
lecture room a bottle Of vile-smelling
liquid concocted specially for the pur-
pose In the laboratory. The atmosphere
In the room when Prof. Chandler enter
ed was well nigh unbearable. He de-
tected the odor almost before he had
crossed the threshold, and, turning
abruptly, locked the door and put the
key in his pocket. Then, walking to
the desk, he took his seat without the
slightest show Of annoyance and re-
marked Gentlemen, we will enjoy
this together"

Angry Officials Bad Break.

There's a bunch of distinguished gen.
tlemen, by virtue of appointment by his
honor the mayor, the real things in the
management Of a big institution, which
is supported by city funds, who are not
on the best Of terms. officially or per.
sonally, with one another. Their off,
cial gatherings are not love feasts They
had a meeting the other day, which was
not publicly reported. This was one Of
the Incidents:
The chairman--Mr. NJ, sit down,
sir; you can't talk now.
"Why can't talk, Mr.. Chairman"
because I say so, amt that

a copy Of Kirkman's Manual I'd soon

The Literary Era affords Il character
istic anecdote about Andrew Jackson
while in command in New Orleans:
st is related that Edward Livings-
ton, whom Jackson had just appointed
his aidde-camp, had invited him home
to dinner, and sent word to his wife,
who had some fashionable ladies to
dine with her This news created con-
sternation, and the young ladies whis-
pered to each other, What shall we do
with this wild General from Tennes-
seeY
jackson entered, erect, composed,
bronzed, clad in his uniform of coarse
blue cloth and yellow buckskin, and
other appointments to correspond. He
bowed to the ladies magnlticently, and
all arose. Mrs. Livingston came for
ward to receive the distinguished guest,
who met her with dignity and grace
never surpassed, If equaled, conducted
her to her seat on the sofa, and sat by
her side. The fashionable creoles We're
almost dumb with establishment. Dur
ing dinner he conversed with the ladies
In an easy, agreeable manner, in the
tone Of society. He arose soon after
the table and left the house with Mr..
Livingston. AS soon as they had gone
the young ladies said to their hostess in
one chorus: is this your backwOOds-
man? Why, madam, he Is prince" p"
This reminds us Of passage In Mrs.
Trollopes caustic book on American
life, in which she said as few compli-
mentary things as possible about our
countrymen as she found them in 1927.
She notes, however, that her husband
and son spent several days In Gen.
Jackson's company while he was jour-
neying from his home in Tennessee to
Washington after having been elected
to the Presidency. Mrs. Trollope states
that the impression he made upon these
two Englishmen was very pleasing, and
that both OF them admired the dignity,
the courtesy, and grace Of his bearing
toward all who met him. Jackson's
manners, therefore, like Lincoln's liter
airy style, must be accepted as fact,
even though the origin Of them cannot
be plausibly explained.-New York

ries Students' Jokes.
Prof. Chandler Of Columbia Univer-
slty holds an enviable position of popu-
larity in the minds Of the alumni of
that institution. perhaps as much OH
account Of his clever methods Of turning
aside student jokes as for any other
reason. At the University club a few
evenings ago In group Of Columbia
men. says the New York Times, several
anecdotes We're told illustrative of Prof.
Chandler's ability In this direction.
1t seems that one day some disgrun-
tied member Of the chemistry division
reached the lecture room In good season
and sought to create amusement by
writing on the blackboard In a bold
hand: "Chandler Is an ass" This had
the desired effect, and suppressed
chuckling could be heard around the
room when the professor entered a
few moments later at the beginning of
his lecture hour.

why the Curlew's Nest Is Hidden.

DR.. Rhys, in his "Celtic Folklore.
Welsh and Manx." tells the following
legend Of the curlew: "When st. Beu-
no lived at Celynnog he used to go reg.
ularly to preach at Landwyn. on the OPP
nosite side of the water, which he al
WAYS crossed on foot. But one Sunday
he accidentally dropped his book of
sermons into the water. and when he
had failed to rescue 1t 'gylfin-hlr,' or
curlew. came by. picked 1t up. and
nlaced It on a stone out Of the reach Of
the tide. The saint prayed for the pro-
lection and favor of the Creator for the
.evlfln-hir;' it was granted. and nobody
ever knows where that bird makes its
nest"

Eccentric I-ondoners, AMI One Man
Who Eats Horse Meat.
A fashionable West End restaurant in
London has regular customer, man
Of title, who, on an average Of twice a
mouth, repairs there for freak dinner.
He orders dinner for two, and just be-
fore 1t Is ready to be served he sends
out waiter to invite the first respect
able appearing stranger he sees on the
street to come and be his guest. The
waiter-a special one, who Is heavily
subsized for the purpose by the erratlc
misunderstanding corruled guest,
brings him In and gives him formal
introduction to his host, who explains
his little eccentriclty and makes his
new-found guest thoroughly ut home,
assuring him that there Is no catch
Of any kind, that the expense Is paid,
and that the acquaintance ceases at the
end Of the evening. All sorts OF people
clerks, shopmen, tradesmen, etc.
have been the guests Of this eccentric
person of title, who, after all, has some
excuse for his eccentricity. for he de-
clares that dinners with his stock
friends bore him, and he finds by din
ing in this way an excellent Opportunl-
ty to study character and learn some
thing new-getting new ideas and a
broader view of life.
A well-to-do stock broker repairs
twice week to particular restaurant,
where he INDUCES in luncheon OF raw
food. One day piece OF raw Deer
about the size Of an ordinary beefsteak
Is placed before him; at another time
he partakes of raw mutton, and he in
dulges also in raw lamb. raw chicken.
and "such like" He eats no. vegeta-
bles, but has served upon the plate with
his meat couple Of raw apples pears,
or some other fruit. He drinks cold
water with his meal. into which he
puts a few drops Of mixture which
he carries in his pocket and uses as an
aid to digestion.
A customer of a thoroughly fashion
able London restaurant sits down at
o'clock every Friday evening to dish
of horse meat. But those who sit at
the table next to him are not aware Of
his peculiar taste; for whatever H.
structions are necessary are given In
advance by letter. Much care Is eXer-
cised In the selection Of the horse from
which the mans dinner is to be fur
nished, and he Is particularly fond Of
thoroughbred. when that delicacy is to

some to win the Derby. broke down and
was killed at EPSON. The proprietor

One morning we received word that
my father was lying i'll at a hotel in Jer-

me In response to the message. Julia,
too, had been sent for but she reached
the hotel in separate car.

room for half an hour, as he sent word
he must get up his strength for the inter-
view. Julia and myself alone were al
lowed to see him. He was propped up
in bed with a number Of pillows; with
the room darkened by Venetian blinds,
and a dim green twilight prevailing,
which cast a sickly hue over his really
pallid face. His abundant white hair
fell lankly about his head, instead Of
being in crisp curls as usual. l was

Hard Work Helps 1rving's Genius.
1t Is in the perfecting Of all the by
play of his productions that Sir Henry
Irving excels. He works MS hard In
training the humblest Of his people as
he does In bringing out the most telling
points in his own part. He makes the
men take Off their hats, and inspects
the length Of their hair. He 1t Is who
arranges the proportionate elements Of
youth and age In the mob. Miss Terry
is of great assistance to him In planning
production. They discuss frankly
at the rehearsals whether this or that
pose or piece of business will be more
effective. She Is very particular about
the music cues, and painstaking in the
care with which she arranges that the
fortissimo passages shall not come in
at inopportune moments when they will
drown her voice.
