Franks and practical jokes furnish
possible for a fraternity to exist or a
society Of any sort continue within the
limits Of university campus hoaxing.
And Lincoln Is no exception to the
rule.
Hair raising tortures for the recruits
are legion But they are applied under
the oath of secrecy and 1t would be
rude and unjust to vociferously disclose
them in an article such as this. How
ever. the average Lincoln citizen un-
derstands the situation when a digni-
fed son of Editor Bowlby. for instance,
approaches the hurried passerby and
attempts to palm of a hot tamale.
He is simply proving his courage to

Sometimes the joiners are allowed to
slide down inclined plans into sand
banks or hang suspended over the un-
known darkness of a cellar. A son of
a Judge or congressman may be COM
PEELED to pass the hat for a Salvation
Army lass. Then the sufferer may be
bound hand and foot and placed on the
doorstep of some peaceful dwelling
house. A ring at the doorbell, a pat
tering of feet, the tormentors disappear
and the situation is truly embarrassing
for the pilgrim journeying towards the
fraternal shrine.
But pranks are nearly always on tap
in fraternal circles. Anyone may be
the victim who proves susceptible to
easy and amusing Kidding"
A favorite trick is to send an invita-
ton to some bashful youth supposed to
emanate from a popular young lady.
OF course the surprised and fiattered
student prepares to fill the date and at
the proper moment, is chagrined by the
resonant and changing horse laugh.

Interior decorations are startling and
amazing in proportion to the ingenuity
of the frat members. Not long ago
certain fraternity aroused the envy of
all colleagues by an expedient compar-
atively simple. A stocking Of liberal
dimensions was secured and stuffed
with cotton. The upper portion was

wards like Damascus blade.
The visitors on first entering the
room were almost willinaito testify un-
der oath that some woman had been
unfortunate enough to break through
the ceiling and was struggling to re-
gain her liberty.
The old bill of sale" trick was ef-
fectually worked some time ago dis
guised by several ingenious details.
Generally this ruse is used to entrap
the police on Halloween night. The
culprits rent a sign of some sort. They
also get bill of sale. When a police
man appears the boys take long steps.
OF course the patrolman arrests them.
At the station they flash the bill OF
sale and grow indignant because hon.
est citizens are not allowed to go home
with their property.
One of the students, in working the
improved edition of the trick, pur-
chased a part Of a bunch Of bananas.
He got his bill Of sale in the form Of
a receipt. The bunch was allowed to
hang just outside the fruit stand. the
purchaser explaining that he would get
the fruit pretty soon."
A policeman appeared. The joker
slyly unlocked the fruit and started
away on a dog trot. The officer caught
him before he had gone half a block.
The wagon was called. When the We
hicle dashed down upon the policeman
and his prisoner the latter had found
his receipt.
Just a trife wicked was the scheme
formulated by a law student to gain
time on a board bill. His landlady mod
estly reminded him. Oh yes, he would
go upstairs and get the coin. He as
cended with all the airiness of a spring
robin. Down he came again madder
than a March hare.
Someone had taken his watch. He
was going to have the house searched
by the police. He looked at the land
lady suspiciously and she began to
weep. OF course he did not call the
police but he continued the TRADE.
Then he waited for a remittance.
But another boarder happened to
know that the watch had been pawned.

She wore the same red skirt that the
officers now have and which bears the
blood stains. There was no blood on
the skirt during the time she was at the
heater. She claims that Booth gave
her the watch of his which was found in
her possession. If he did she did not
have it at the theater, and she had only
a small sum in silver change in her
purse She left her relative, Miss Fyfe
that evening after the show the same as
usual and babe her goodby- There was
nothing unusual in her manner, She is
supposed to have gone straight home
and to have gone to bed. She was the

guilty of the crime she would have
planned it with more regard to detail
and possibility of detection? But again
there rises the unanswerable evidences
of guilt that the officers have to accuse
her with. Why did she have the watch
with the broken chain? Why was her
dress skirt spotted with blood?
The situation is aptly summed up in
the declaration of a prominent Ottawa
man, that the utter absence of an at
tempt to remove or conceal the incrini-
mating evidence and the sang froid of
the guilty Mccoy people, if guilty they
be. would appear to indicate an abso-
lutte lack of common sense or an ex-
cess of cunning scarcely to be expected
of people of but average intelligence"
The theory of suicide is easily plauS-
ible, but the nature of the wounds
makes this impossible What would be
more likely than the situation indicated
by the testimony of Alice Powers, in
which she said Bessie had told her
Booth had declared his intention of kill
ing himself if Marie did not marry
him?
Imagine Booth old and weak-minded,
madly in love with Marie Stanley, on
the night preceding the time she was
to leave. He pictured her going away
perhaps never to return; saw her
gradually fading away from him,
and he powerless to prevent it.
In moment of desperation: depressed
ness, he may have wished TO take his own
life. but he scarcely could have used an

have one bit of evidence that is hot gen
orally known to the public. 1t is q pho
tograph that was picked up in the Mccoy
written by Marie to her mother, begging
her not to tell on her 1t has been fmpos-
sible to learn the exact language of the
alleged note or to secure confirmation or
denial of the rumor from the prosecuting
attorneys.
Another theory put forward is that per-
sons knowing of Booths money, and
knowing that all the members OF the Nc
Coy family were away from home a part
of the time that evening, .enticed the old
man to the house. where he was knocked
down and thrown into the well. The MEM
bers of the family could have returned
home and, not stirring around much that
late at night, not discover the CHASTITY
scene
Another theory is that a colored man,
