LOYALTY to Harvard.

One of the most impressive scenes
that 1 have witnessed for some time
occurred out at Harvard, class day
night. The Glee Club had been sing
ing everything they knew and when,
at last, the final number, Fair Har-
vard," was reached. AS the first
words of that mother of college songs
fioated through the yard, instantly
hundreds of hats all over that vast
concourse of people were removed.
It was the tribute of feeling and re-
spect from countless graduates to-
ward their alma mater, says writer
in the Boston Post, and the tribute,
though silent, yet spoke more than a
thousand tongues could ever utter.

Traits of kinq Alfonso.

News from Madrid is that though
young King Alfonso has been on the
thidid6anly abopf month he already
has evealed some traits of will and
inclination. In everything that con-
Germs the army he takes a deep inter-
EFT, but intends to be very much his
own master, on occasion upsetting
plans laid down by no less person
age than the war minister, Lieut.. Gen.
Weyler, of Cuban fame. He shows a
desire to become acquainted personal
ly with officers of individual regi-
ments and seems DESTROYS of showing
perfect confidence in his subjects, oc-
casionally riding through unguarded
streets many yards ahead of his gilt
tering staff or stopping his carriage
to say few gallant words SO some

Indian. Lead Double Life.

1t is said that the Seri Indians are
a tribe of Jeky1ls and Hydes- They
spend a portion of the year in the
neighborhood of the boundary line be-
tween northern and lower California,
when they dedicate themselves to
peaceful pursuits and evidently adopt
civilized customs, frequently working
as farm hands on the haciendas-
When the crops are in, however, they
experience a remarkable change, like
any of the lower animals with a
change of season. 1t is then they
have a wild longing for savage life,
and emigrate to Tiburon island.
where they lead a barbarous exist
ence, even indulging in cannibaIism.

hurting him too badly to think of
nary man, pain makes him impatient.
Well, the woman felt troubled; be-
cause she missed him, and because all
at once she could think of him only
as of still, white face upturned to
the moon. She went to the machine
and made couple of shirt waists with
tucked fronts and insertion as per or
der, then she read the newspaper to
keep from going into the garden. She
did not care to talk about it-sym-
pathy upsets ones self-control. But
the hurt in her heart grew worse as
the day died and when the time cam,
for tea. she felt as though the food
was choking her beforehand
The eyes of the woman grew warm
with tears as she looked upon the
bread knife and thought of those
great, clumsy slices, but she assented as
a matter of course. Her fingers closed
over the horn-handle and that haunt
ing, upturned face left her. She saw
him again beneath the hanging lamp,
his eyes aglow with mixed up love and
mischief. All. how good to be able
to think of him once more as her dear
bad boy
When the house was still, she car
ried the knife to her room and COW
cred its handle with tears and kisses
Trouble not yourself with idle ques-
tonings, whether the man came back
from the wars or no; for when a man
has won such love from a woman that
she kisses handles for his sake, he has
seen his Austerlitz: let him beware
lest he live too long and SO look upon
his Waterloo"
