THE MAN WITH THE APPLE.
A Clever scheme SuocessfuIly Worked
on Chicago jewelers..

A distinguished looking stranger with
white hair and white beard strolled
into a State street jeweiry store the
other day, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and asked to see some diamond
rings. The clerk reached for them,
leaving one tray filled with expensive
rings on top of the showcase Here
they are" Lc said. placing the second
tray beside the first. AS he did so the
tall man, who had been munching at
q fine russell apple, threw the core into
the street. He and the clerk went over
the rings in the trays, but he could
ind none that he wanted to buy. AS
he turned to go the clerk discovered
that ring worth $3.50 was missing.
The clerk disliked to accuse the dis

Corporations in England.

A curious illustration Of the power
Of corporations is reported from Eng
land. From time immemorial it has
been established law there that be-
quests made for the propagation OF
secular or freethinking doctrines were
subject to confiscation by the king,
and thousands of pounds have been
thus conf1scated. Recently. however,
1t occurred to some person to try a
new plan. A company known as the
Secular society Oimited) was incor-
porated for the specific purpose of re-
eeiving such requests, and the best
English lawyers say that under its
charter 1t can receive and use requests
for the very purpose so long held un-
lawful. A corporation is strange en-
ity.

GIRLS SECRET SOCIETIES.
Students at the College support Their
Fraternities with Enthusiasm.

FraterElties with Enthusiasm.
Perhaps it is because women are
barred from membership in many OF
the secret societies that they display
such pronounced fondness for such
organizations IN their own institutions
OF learning as give them chance to
be just a little mysterious Certain ii
Is that no Creek letter associations
are more generously sustained than
those at Vassar, Wellesley and at other
female colleges and seminaries. 1t Is
stated that not less than $4,000 900 Is
invested in homes and other property
belonging to the Greek letter fraterni-
ties of America. an amount greater
than the value of all the college prop
erty in the country a century ago.
Fraternity women have been very
wise in this respect. and have been
content to live modestly in rented
houses. there being but three chapters
which own their homes. At Sycamore
university the parent chapter of Alpha
Phi has a pretty Queen Anne" house
worth perhaps $4,000. Here the chap
ter has lived nearly a score of years.
Kappa Kappa Gamma. Kappa Alpha
Theta, Gamma Phi Beta. Pi Beta Phi,
and Delta Delta Delta enjoy the COM
forts Of modern homes which they rent
at the same university. The Lambda
chapter OF Kappa Alpha Theta has
lived in its own house at the university
OF Vermont for decade, and one Of the
chapters OF Delta Gamma Is said to
own a house. Many other chapters
live in rented homes Or own building
lots or have chapter-house funds
Within the next ten years it is more
than probable that two-thirds Of the
various chapters will be living in chap

WANDERlNGS OF TWO WORDS.

Though Originally Dissimilar, They Be
come Intimately Associated.
Isn't it strange to think Of word
"wanderlng?" We like to hear tray

tries he has seen. the people he has
known. Do you know that some words
are experienced travellers and could
tell a wonderful tale OF new lands
and changed customss Just take, for
instance, the word. bureau" Should
you think 1t had any connection with
the word fire." In old Greek days
there was word ''pur." or fire. "
Then the Latins needed it for fiery
red" and they made it "burrus." Pres
emily it wandered to France and be-
came "buire," meaning reddish
brown" For a long time 1t lived there
until 1t grew to be in modern French
'bure." a rough WOODEN cloth. The
Frenchmen used the cloth to cover
their writing tables. so these were
called bureau" Next the government
officials borrowed the word. for their
valuable papers were kept In the writ
Ing tables, SO bureau" came to mean
place OF information or department
OF state. You know we use our bureaus
for keeping our clothes. What do you
think Of that for series of adven-
lures? The word bank" has an inter
esting life. Once IL was "banco," a
bench. You wonder where the connec-
ton? Well. in Italy the Lombard Jews
used benches in the market place for
the exchange of money. As times grew
prosperous they had to move to larger
quarters. In Venice. 1850. was the first
public bank started. Then you can
think of other words from bench. The

HARD-HEADED OPPOSITION.

unwitting Humor OF Speaker In Dis
cussing Pavement Question.
Citizens met in the North Side Tur-
ner hall not many weeks ago and dis
cussed asphalt pavements, says the
Milwaukee Sentinel A substitute for
asphalt was proposed by one OF the
leading politicians present. 1t had
been decided to lay a pavement on
certain streets in that part OF town
and asphalt seemed to be the material
most favored by the common council.
1t would make the assessments on
property holders high, and this meet
Ing had been called to oppose any
measures which would require SO great
an expense.
The meeting was large and full of
indignation. There were many and
curious reasons why asphalt was no
good. Everybody was ready to adopt
measures to defeat the tactics Of the
cunning politicians who wished to
flood the streets with mud from Trini-
dad. After long harangue on the ne
cessity of concerted action on the part
OF citizens, the chief speaker of the
evening solved the difficulty by pro-
posing new and enduring kind Of
material.
Il tell you, fellow citizens, If dose
persons what live on Grand avenue
want assfawled. let dem have assfawi
ec: but we. We do not want such 8
stun. Plocks Is peter. We must do
something's and putty quick alread,
When we do not want such pavement
as assfawled and pay more money yet
as 1t ISIS not worth. we must put our
heads togedder and make plocks."
1t is easier to protect on1's self from
an enemy than + ON fool friend.
But one thing is greater than sue
cess, and that Is another effort after a
failure.
