A good story is related of Henry
Clay Dean, the famous orator of a
generation or so ago. Mr. Dean was
generally referred to as Henry Clay
Dean Of Iowa" even long after he had
established a home in Missouri. He
explained his change of habitaton in
this way: "You see, they passed a ne
farious prohibition law in Iowa, and
there's your whisky gone. Then they
abolished capital punishment, and
there's your hanging gone, and now
the whole population seems to be
drifting toward Universalism, and
there's your hades gone. | can't live
in state that has neither hades,
hanging nor whisky."-Argonaut.

A Great stickler For Etiquette.

DR.. Thompson, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was an exceedingly
cold and austere man, never taking
much notice of the undergraduates un-
der his care. On one occasion Trim
ity man happened to be out walking
and was caught in a storm. He ran
across a field and took shelter beneath
a large tree. When he arrived there,
he found, to his horror, that Dr..
Thompson was beneath it seeking pro-
lection from the rain. For some time
both stood silent, watching the clouds,
till at last the undergraduate, growing
desperate, ventured to remark that he
thought it was clearing up a little.
"Sir," said the doctor haughtily,
frowning upon the wretched youth,
"all communications to the master of
Trinity must be made through the
tutors. "-Exchange,

the world are the Koreans. They have
to wash about dozen dresses for
their husbands, and they have plenty

more Indebtedness should be incurred BY
borrowing, and the deficits for the two
years have been met by the generosity
OF some citizens and friends. By the re-
cent advance in tuition it is hoped to
meet essential expenses, which have been
cut down to lowest figures, practically
eliminating elocution and drawing. 1t is
a process not of trimming but of amputa-
ting.
The average annual expenses OF the
institution have been about Sl4 5OO.

tion of the agreement will place the
team on an equality with the other col
lege teams in the state and will facili-
tate, the matter of securing games
Practically every college in the state is
playing under the presidents agree
ment, one of the rules of which prohib-
it's the college from playing football or
other games with colleges not working
under the agreement.

mittee are: DIR. J. G.. McClintock. DR.
