Fun For the Students.

Professor Max Muller tells this
story of his student days in Ger
many: II remember that on one oc-
rasion before the introduction of
cabs we hired all the sedan chairs
in Leipsic, with their yellow coated
porters, and went in procession
through the streets. much TO the as
constituent of the good citizens and
annoyance also, rs they were unable
to hire any means of conveyance till
peremptory stop was put to our
fun. Not content with this ex-
plot, when the first cabs were intro
duced into Leipsic, thirty or forty
being put on the street at first, |
and my friends secured the use of
ell of them for the day and proceed
cd out into the country. The inhab-
itants, who were eagerly looking
forward to a drive IN one of the
new conveyances, were naturally an
noyed at finding themselves fore
stalled. and the result was that a
stop was put to such freaks in fu-
ture by the issue of police regala-
ton that nobody was allowed to
hire more than two cabs at time. y
