Fast. fast behind her father rides.
But naught the lovers stay.
The goal In reached, the Knot II tied.
For Love has found the way.
"Oh. Love will nnd n way. dear iass"-
That was In days Of old:
Pray tell me. dainty. modern maid,
Have lovers hearts waxed cold
II such a m came tonight
Would you the call obey
And trust n voice hat laughing cried:
'oh. Love will md the way"
''oh. Love will find the way. dear iass'-
Why doubt the snying's truth7
For what can check the passion tide
TwiNt love-sick maid and youth.
Yes, jill will nod assent to Jack
Whene'er he choose to say.
"Come fly with me. the world Is wide
And Love will Ind the way"
"oh. Love will ind the way. dear lass"
And youth must ave It's due.
Though oft the story has been told
The tale IL ever new.

No shall Il be to-day.

not common. for ii has in it all the ole-

the blood Of royal lineage. There is
an element Of substantialness about
the title mister. 1t is probably good
enough for the common run Of men,

having the title thrust upon him.
Mister does no mark the line between

NO NEW IDEA.
Ancient Peoples Associated Rats will
Spread Of Bubonic Plague.

In a recent number Of the Frank.
furter Zeitung is a discussion Of the
antiquity Of the belief that rats are re.
sponsible for the spVad ofthe plague.
According to the writer the recogni.
ton OF the necessity Of discriminating
rats is no modern idea. II appears
that the Chinese have long observed
the association between the death OF
a rat in the house and the appearance
of a case Of plague a few days later in
the family livingthere. Then follows
a quotation from j. Campbell Glib.
sons article in the Expository Times
in which the author points out very
convincing evidence that the disease
inflicted upon the Philistines de.

THE WISE YOUNG DRUGGIST.
His Scheme for Securing Customers b,
Reading Up In Law.

\ young druggist who opened a
pharmacyin one Of The outlying wards
a year ago consulted a downtown
bookseller one day this week with the
view of purchasing a copy Of the An
notated and Revised Statutes Of Wis
consin and a few other law books.
"No, ! have no ambition to become
a lawyer said he, but want 10 build
up a paying drug business and keep
my customers. and have come TO the
conclusion that a little knowledge Of
the law is necessary for this end
more, in fact, than isrequired to guide
you in the conduct Of your personal
affairs.
Not alone that the poor people in
my n%eighborhood expect me- to act the
physician in scores Of minor eases Of
sickness and accident; they also come
to me very frequently on matters in
yolving delicate law points, and un.
less ] put on wise look and give them
some sort of a satisfactory answer
they lose confidence in me, and won't
come again when they are in want Of
paregoric, catnip tea or %arnica. The
women especially are great sticklers
in this respect. They want to know
whether a man has a right to keep all
the money that he earns, how much he
ought to contribute TO the support
of his eight lusty children, whether
he can be allowed to run up a bill at
the saloon with the butcher and gro
Ger unpaid, whether the father-in-law
can get the property back which he
decided away in consideration Of bed
and board, and n hundred other SIM
liar questions. l have no desire to

made Alexander look small indeed,
for he was taller than Goliath, and
his spear was more than a hundred

and while equally as potent in the ed

not the same professor who graced the
schoolroom in the earlier days Of the

THE DAY OF TITLES.

Professor? Not much. Doctor, il
please, or mister, just plain old mister,
the title Of the gentleman. The fact
is there are but few mel o who care
TO be called professor. Time vas when
ambitious educators delighted in the
title. Professor meant much in those
days. The professor was a leader in
whatever community he might cast
his lot. His function was not merely
TO teach the young idea how TO shoot,
IT was broader. lie was the one par
ticular person TO whom everyone
looked for almost everything. II
any man could square a circle, the pro-
fessor was the only man who could
square 1t just in the way il should be
squared. lie was a walking diction-
airy in all matters involving etiquette,
and the dainty little nicetios to be OBJ
served in polite society. borrowings
similc from some modern and more
popular %vernacular, the professor
was the whole thing. There are still
places where the professor is some
what in evidence, but generally helms
lost that dazzling elrulgence Of the
yestertime. Men are inclined to
shrink from the title. In colleges and
universities there are still professor.
Of this, that and the other; but they
prefer to be called doctor, or mister.
There is a certain dignity about the
title OF doctor, n suggestion Of the
cloak, and the gown, and the cap of
wisdom. And mister is not bad. Mis-
ter is a gentlemanly way TO put it.
Mister is plain, but respectable. Mis-.
Ter is every mans title so long as he
docs not stumble and fall without the
pale Of decent things. Mister, OF
course, is without distinguishing
characteristics. The man nearest the
protoplasmic state, and the mar far.
thest from ii, are alike misten. The
title is the property in common ofthe
ignoramus and the sage. Solomon
could be no more Of a mister to-day
than the smallest Of mental pigmies,
for all gentlemen are misters. SO the
educator Of to-day would rather be
called mister than professor, If one
may not call him doctor. The change
is probably due to the small scope
given to the title professor" The
professor has become a trife numer.
Gus in these latter days, sometimes
meaning much, sometimes nothing.
There are many types Of the profes.
sor. The quick and painless tooth ex.
tractor who practices his skill on
pickaninnies and howls his wares in
the public streets is a professor, il you
please. The lion tanner is a professor,
and the snake charmer, and the snake
eater-thefellow who "eats 'em alive
and the poodle trainer, and many
Others; all of these are professors,
wise men, perhaps, in their way, and
hence they seek TO wear the title once
worn exclusively by the man who had
won II by toiling far into the night
These things have probably tended
to cause the educators Of this time to
shrink from the title.

YALE ATHLETICS STIRRED.

Hale has another year to take in the

his lecture room engagements as soon as
the football season had closed. but this he
has failed to do, and il In said ne has
