carrying out of this decree, and have
sought to retain the peasantry as tenants
instead OF permitting them to become
independent land owners. In fact, in
some districts the condition of the peas

In order to more effectually rule the
peasantry, the nobility secured from the

miseries they have 30 long endured

DEBATE WAS A DRAW.
Absence Of One Of the Judges Resulted in no
Decision in Stanford. Washington Contest.

Stanford University, Cal, May g.
Owing to the absence of one of the judges,
unforeseen by himself, and unexpected
until the eleventh hour by the contes-
tants, the first annual debate between
Stanford and the University of Washing

decision was to have consisted of Judge
W. p. Lawlor, E. B. Leaning and A. G.
Freeman, all of San Francisco. The two
former gentlemen put in appearance,
but Mr.. freeman was detained at the
last moment. Various expedients as
a means of supplying the deficiency were
suggested, among them the pressing into
service of Stanford professor whom all
should agree upon, but it was finally
deemed best to 60 ahead, trusting to a
possible unanimity of feeling between
Mr.. Leaning and Judge Lawlor.

Return to your lair.
For the world is bright and gay;
And life is too brief
To entertain grief;
So let joy rule night and day..
And with a knowing wink, a sug-
gestfve smirk and a wicked twirl of
that nimble toe the singer swung him.
self into the wings amid hurricane
of applause. There was no song and
dance man on the vaudeville stage
who set the people SO wild as Billy
Pepsin and many times did he have
to come back and repeat the refrain of
his latest song before the audience
would permit the next act to be put
On The song seemed particularly to
dt the singer. OF all the light hearted
apostles of careless gaiety, Billy Pep
sin was easily the most single hearted
and the great audience which sought
the theaters where he performed fair
~ reveled in his reckless merriment
and thorough abandon.
And on this night even more than
usual he threw himself into the very
spirit of his part and with the new
song which was as foolish as it was
adaptable to Billy's peculiar atmos-
phere, he sent the audience fairly in
to Mysteries. They applauded until
they were tired from the very physical
exercise and agreed to a man that
there never had been anything SO
funny since the dawn of time and
that SUCH a stunt could come only
from man who knew no care and
never had no more serious RESPONSE
oil1ty than to ascertain how he could
get light for his cigarette
All, could that wildly cheering and
laughter-convulsed crowd have stepped
into Giacomo's Place an hour after the
performance closed they would have
seen very different side of the pic
lure. Giacomo CAST name forever
lost to history, was smart little
italian possessed of indefatigable per-
sistence and a wife who could cook
with that divine touch which is given
only now and then to the daughters of
Eve. 1t was a shabby little place off
an alley, never too clean and almost
impossible in wet weather. Almost. 1
say advisedly, because it never was
impossible to the stage people of the
middle type who formed the principal
support of Giacomo. This partly be-
cause the cooking and the wines were
20 good-and cheap, for your actor of
any class knows what is good and
wants it, and perforce his purse
strings forbid Sherry's or Rector's as
, steady diet. And then the place
was always open-at least until the
last straggler was ready to retire. The
lights never went out before dawn
and many a morn did Giacomo doze
behind the little bar and his fat wife
in chair in the cramped kitchen un-
IA full time to open again for the
days business.
Of course the actors did not make
up the whole of the patronage of
Giacomo's Place. Many of the coun-
srymen of the proprietor, of the
more prosperous class, found their
way there and reveled in the spaghetti
