and He Made 1t.
Considerable scandal was caused at
Marietta college recently by a prank
which resulted in the expulsion of sew
eral students.
One Of the professors, who was very
unpopular for undergraduate reasous
had beta marked out for slaughter for
a long time because of his attitude to-
ward athletics. Prof. X, the object of
the dislike, was near-sighted, and at
the faculty meetings he was accus-
toned to creep down the long, dark
stairway. feeling his way by the balus-
trade,
1t was decided that the best thing to
do was to fix the balustrade, and one
night while the faculty were meeting
upstairs a thick coat Of molasses was
laid over the rail. AS a result the near
sighted professor met with an un-
pleasant surprise when he tried to feel
his way downstairs in the dark.
The next day a rigid Investigation
was held. The suspected students were
assembled In 4 room and warned that
confession was the only escape from
expulsion. Thus a%dmonished, an appeal
was made to any one who knew any,
thing about the trick to confess. One
of the culprits rose and said, hesitat-
Ilngly:
II don't know as I should say any
thing about this, but I guess l had bet
ter make a clean breast of 1t. l do

He paused, as IL afraid to continue,

Their Literary Guest.
BY f. H.

Copyright. 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.
They were glad enough IL have the
literary woman among them for q
week or TWO. She was neither q
prude nor a b~lue-stocking. but q
bright. entertaining talker. a good
reader and a willing One-mOreover
she knew how to mind her W BUSH
ness and never meddled in the af-
fairs of the homes she entered. Add
ed to all this she had just been around
the world and had at her command
a fund OF anecdote and amusing in
cidents. Naturally they looked for
ward to her coming with pleasant an
ticipations and welcomed her warm
ly. Even II they did suspect that the
real cause of her desire to be among
them was the accumulation of coun-
try color.
They had expected to be entertained
and amused. All, well they got a lit
tie more than they bargained for.
The literary woman came. read
aloud, told stories. listened to their
Joys and woes and sympathized.

strangers, gentlemen, dropped in for
an evening call. The object of their
attention was plainly the literary
woman, but they made themselves
exceedingly pleasant to all and the
inmates OF the quiet country home en-
joyed the incident.
An evening passed and the strangers
again presented themselves upon the
hospitable doorstep. One Of them was
fair and young. the other somewhat
older. dark and very deep-voiced. The
literary woman talked indiferently
well to both, but Morton. the younger,
seemed to have established his claim
upon her and he pushed his advantage
hard after the crude manner Of youth.
The older man looked IN, smiled an
%inscrutable smile and made himself
agreeable to the lady Of the house.
At last the conversation becoming
general, turned upon the then recent
Fair fire at Paris, and Morton, with
his air of first right. turned to the
literary woman.
What about it, Miss Nordham?"
why, l don't know. Nothing, I
suppose"
1.-The modern Frenchman is such q
noble. hearty fellow. eh?" he persisted.
THE French are q race of acute
and subtle thinkers" she responded.
But what about their heart. their
nerve?"
Vaughn leaned forward slightly and
his deep voice filed the pause that
followed Morton's question.
Might I suggest, Morton, that you
curb your c~uriosity?"
