Had CHANGED His Mind.

One of the most interesting men
on the Yale faculty is Prof. Brewer OF
the scientific department. Men VINO
have studied under him declare thai
there is no subject on which he is moi
q competent authority.
They tell at Yale OF student WHIT
once posted himself on some esoteri'
Chinese subject by reading a recon
dite encyclopaedia article, and, full,
primed, sought to ''stick" the profes
sor. Prof. Brewer talked familiarl.
on the subject, but to the STUDENT
delight, expressed views radically dit
ferent from the encyclopedias
"You must admit you are wrong 70
once, professor" said the student, tri
umphantly. Il have looked the mat
ter up, and So-and-So's encyclopedia
utterly disagrees with you"
VERY true replied the professor
composedly, "but great deal of ney
information has come to light tina
has changed my. mind completed
since l wrote the article for the ency
clopaedia."

Every once in a while Representa-
tive Cannon becomes poetical. At a
night session, when the House was
discussing a bill for protecting for
ests. Mr.. Cannon described in flow
ing language how the moss under the
trees held the water, and how the
water in the dry season percolated
through the roots of the trees And
as the water feeds down from the
headwaters through the countries and
the states" he continued, land again
through other states, singing as IL
goes. it makes the frogs and tne

when Cannon had concluded, the
gentleman from Illinois has demon
strated that wherever else the moss
grows. it does not grow on his back

Mothers sollcitude Over a Missing
Attachment to Her Sons Vest.
At 6 o'clock in the morning of the
wedding day in town up York state
a postofice messenger rang the door
bell at the home Of the bride-elect
and handed special delivery letter
to the servant who responded.
1t was addressed to the best man,
who had come 400 miles to. second
his best friend in the ceremony, and
was. with several others, the guest
of the brides parents.
The best man was still asleep, but
he was promptly awakened, on the
supposition that the letter must con-
tain something of Importance. It did,
indeed. Rubbing his eyes in an ef-
fort to understand he tore open the
envelope and was astonished to find
a sheet of letter paper, with a large
needle Of the sort men always choose
when emergency compels them to
sew, thrust through 1t, mad a foot Of
double black thread trailing in loose
tangle down the page. -
The best man thought it was joke,
but he couldn't see it; and he was
about to become resentful when, up
on turning the sheet over, he found
this hastily written note:
Dear Brother-Mother says there
Is a button off your dress coat. 1t
IS in your right-hand vest pocket. Sew
1t on" -,.es.
Crawling out Of bed the best man
examined his coat and laughed to see
that the situation had been accurate
ly described in the letter.
"Just. like mother" he said. "Pll
wager she lost whole nights sleep
thinking about that confounded but
ton"
Later in the day four bridesmaids
gleefully assisted in making the re-
pairs, and this telegram went to moth.
