Marriage in Lapland.

1t used TO be death in Lapland to
marry a maid without the consent of
her parents or guardians. That be-
ing obtained, il was customary for
the young couple to run a race in
which the girl was allowed a start Of
one-third Of the whole distance. BY
this means she could easily outstrip
the would-be bridegroom. and if she
did so he knew he was rejected. If
the damsel approved OF her sutton.
she would run fast at first to test
the truth Of his love, and then yolur-
tarily halt before the race was over.

the patient, her thin face kndliug

made:
"A travelling man boarded the train

remarked:

Now had been thinking of the lee

not appreciating the interruption, curt

"Then the drummer said: Crops

Even SO interesting subject as
crops failed to rouse my enthusiasm.
and again briefly and curtly respond

and asked, What line are you in, any

Some years ago. while Baron Roths
child and nobleman friend were
taking pleasure trip along the Rhine
young lad on the boat noticed the
end of silk handkerchief sticking
out Of Rothschilds pocket Turning
to his chum he said: "If l could only
get that handkerchief! Think of how
much it must be worth" Try to get
it them" said his chum, with visions
of the fabulous value of Rothschild
handkerchief. So the lad took the end
of the handkerchief between his fing-
ers and gently tugged at it. At this
point the nobleman turned to the bar
on and whispered: Baron, that boy
beside you is taking your handker-
chief" Let him alone" said the
Baron. I'VE all have to start small"

LEGAL POINT WAS WELL RAISED
Force OF Students Explanation. Reoog-
nized by the President,


nized by the President.
"The late President Harrison was a
connoisseur of rare old wines, although
he was extremely temperate in the use
of them. At the time when he visited
Stanford university to deliver four lee
lures on international law for fee Of
$4,000 (Which is probably the record
price for university lectures), he was
quartered in one of the college halls,
where suite of rooms had been espe-
cially prepared for him. Immediately
after his arrival" says Beverages. q"
there came also case of carefully
selected clarets, burgundies and ma
deiras, which were placed in one of the
rooms set apart for his use.
The next day all these wines had
disappeared, and the only reminder OF
their previous existence was found in
a long train of empty bottles in the
midst of the campus. When President
Jordan heard of this he summoned be-
fore him the students of the univer-
sity and made them little address, in
the course of which he said that he
was about to institute an Investigation
into the purloining of Mr.. Harrisons
wines and that it would go much etsier
with the guilty persons if they would
have the manliness to come forward
and own up. After he had ceased
speaking there was a long pause, and
presently one of the students in the
back part of the room rose and said
with bland, impersonal air:
Mr. President, the bylaws of the
university forbid the bringing of any
wines or spirituous liquors upon the
university grounds or into the univer-
sity buildings. Consequently, If any
wines or spirituous liquors have been
SO brought in and if they have disap-
peared. which we all regret. they have
probably been seized as contraband,
and therefore the owner has no re-
dress
president Jordan made a few some
what inarticulate remarks and then
dismissed the meeting. Nothing more
was said about the wine, and it is
probable that Mr.. Harrison's legal
mind recognized the force of the point
that had been raised against him"
