THEY COULDN'T HAZE HIM.
Little Western Cadet Was Too Mucf

Little Western Cadet Was Too Much
for the Hazers.
A local professional man recalled the
other day a hazing Incident of his
youth. 1t happened ut the old college
at Hudson In the early 70's. The pros
pectiye victim was a young fellow
from somewhere In the west, a little
runt of a chap with a heavy shock of
red hair.
He had been told he would be hazed,
but he only shook his head In an ex-
asperating way. He went so far one
day as to say he wouldn't be hazed
under any circumstances, and when he
was pressed for reason he simply
said:
Because know how to take care OF
myself"
OF course that sort of talk made us
all the more determined to put him
through the handsomest course OF
sprouts that any presumptuous fresh
man had yet received in the old alma
mater.
One night six of the huskiest soph-
omores In the class went up to the
freshman's room. We had nice coil
of rope and a square of sticking plas-
ter for his mouth, and sundry other OBJ
jects Of entertainment were awaiting
the victim in a convenient place.
The little fellow was In his room
alone when we filed in.
He looked up without tremor.
"Hullo," he said.
"Hullo," we answered.
"Is it peace or war?" says the runt
as cool as cucumber.
It'll be war fast enough If you don't
take it peaceably," said our ringleadel
as he loosened up the rope.
81 just wanted to know" drawled
the runt.
And then all Of a sudden his face
flushed up, and, quicker than flash
he whipped out big revolver and had
us covered.
"Skip!'he snarled.
I've never seen such big revolver
since. 1t seemed to point at every maj

in the doorway.
