his pulse began to collapse. He died
SO peacefully that it surprised even

ing which occurred in 1892 at Yale have
Just leaked out through a story told at
the alumni dinner in New York by

noticed that two country boys had be-
gun their housekeeping in room on
the ground floor of one of the college
halls. with a miserable apology for a
bed, no carpet no table and only two
chairs az the sum total of their outfit
They proposed to board themselves
but had only few dollars for their
food during their term. They expected
haZlng and were not disappointed.
One night the trembling youths were
summoned by "A sophomore, who was
not over courteous, TO go to a room up
stairs. They ODeyed, pale with fear
They were detained about an hour, but
were only quiZHed by the circle of stu.
dents in the room. Entering their own
apartment, they were dazzlcd by new
carpet, tasteful bedstead, fully equip
ped, study table, easy chairs, n hand,
some drop lamp. a bookcase partly fill
ed with books, a stove. pictures on the
walls. rugs, etc, while in closet were
enough provisions to last a week.
1t is hoped that the faculty will look
into these Seeming details.
