The chief interest in the game was in

1t Was a Dream.

When certain divine was a younger
man and chaplain at the University
OF Pennsylvania, like other ministers
who filled that position he was much
troubled over the apparent lack of at
tention from the students during the
morning exercises in the chapel
The exercises hardly ever continued
for more than fifteen minutes. Some
of the students were in the habit of
taking their books into the chapel and
studying there during the services to
make up for their hardness of the
night before in not preparing their les
sons.
The young chaplain was DESTROYS of
breaking up the habit, so one morning
preceding his customary five minutes
address he spoke as follows:
young gentlemen, last night
dreamed 1 was here in the chapel adj
dressing you. And as spoke 1 saw
every eye fixed upon me, every man
attentive, while in all the chapel there
was not book opened, and then l
knew it was dream"

who sprang out of fence corner with
revolvers in their hands. They said:
