CHICAGO HAS A DANCE TRUST.
Students in University Combine to

That the University of Chicago is fully

stands modern business methods and ap-
prec:ates their commercial value. The
watchwords CT the day are ftorganization'
and consolidation" The students Of
other universities may learn this after
they graduate and enter upon business
careers; the students of the University of
Chicago know it. now
I'm business, says the promoter of the
dance trust, what do men do when the
output of any article is greater than the
demand?' i5<
Lessen the output is the natural re-
ply.
In business continues the promoter,
what do men do when the cost of pro-
duction is so great as to entirely wipe
out, or at least materially lessen the
profts?''
Lessen the cost of production is the
reply.
''How do they do it?''
by organization and consolidation"
There you have the secret of modern
success asserts the promoter. Hereto

of Chicago mas been too great, and the
returns have not been what they should

Zone morning 1 heard sleigh bells, and
yonder, down the trail, I saw a man

Dead Mans Gulch.
"Al1 of you know about the party you
gave here in this hall. 1 heard the mu-

God knows what tempted that man to

He murdered my honor; 1 murdered

then take me out and hang me, and hold

The spell that her words created died
with them. Savage clamor arose.
You have heard that woman. What
shall we do with her?'' asked Joshua
Elm.
Hang her.
The shout was spontaneous; there was
not one dissenting voice.
The guards took their places on each

into the snow, followed by the avening

It was long tramp through the Ice
to a little hill crowned with three pine
trees.
Priscilla knew 1t to be the spot where
two stage robbers had been hanged.
They came to q stand a few PAGES from

Thus the promoter reasons. Thus he
reasoned when first presenting his view
to some of those interested. But they
were skeptical.
How can they be consolidated" he
was asked.
Easily" he replied. Let us get OPP

fraternity: Give us your dance business
and we will turn out finer article fhan
you had before for half the cost.
But the argument may not catch them

Possibly not admitted the promoter.
''but it ought to catch at least six out of
the ten, and we can bring the other four
into the fold by the methods usually
adopted in such cases. We will say to
them, Our combination dances will over
shadow yours, and if you don't come in
we will cut in on your business with the
co-eds. We will threaten to put them on
our blacklist if they deal with you; it
will be in our power to ruin the dance

But how can the combination be ar
ranged! fEEI
why, each Of the fraternities will be
given stock in proportion to the amount
of dance business that it now does, the
stock being represented by invitations,
and the expense will be appropriated the

So the dance trust was organized and
the hesitating fraternities were forced
in. But of course, they object to the
name trust" Just like all other such
combinations
