The Zeta Psi Fraternity of North
America was founded in June. 1S47, at
the University of New York. Many
college fraternities existed at the time,
but the principles and standards OF
zeta Psi were and are such that it
quickly made its way to the front and
is now, by all authorities, classed
among the big four that is, the four
best in the country.
The fraternity is one of the most
conservative. In 1891 a club was
formed by several students at the
University of Minnesota for the pur-
pose of securing a charter for the es-
tablishment Of chapter at Minnesota.
It was not until 1898 that this charter
was granted, and the Alpha Beta
chapter established.

A Courthouse Janltor Protests Against
Being Docked for illness.
~ The separations from bothersome car
buncle has cost August Kruger, one of the
sianitors in the courthouse, great deal
of PAIN the amount of the surgeons fee
and, what hurts more than all, 81 in
Christmas money.
PA It was pay day at the. courthouse yes
terday and when the checks were dis
tributed Mr.. Kruger. who has been en-
ployed as a janitor in the building for
three years, was surprised to find that one
days pay had been subtracted from his
months wages.
Mr.. Kruger has taken the matter up
with County Commissioner Nash and may
make a test case of it,
From information received from various
sources in the building it appears that this
is the first time in several years that a
janitor or other epploye has lost pay for
so short an absence from work.
1t is not asserted that Mr.. Kruger was
docked from any motive other than a de
sire to save the county money, but it is
stated by other employees in the building
that on several occasions other janitors,
who may have been favored with the es-
TEEN of their superiors, have been away
on hunting expeditions for weeks at a
time and have suffered no loss of salary in
consequence.
''It was pretty expensive carbuncle,' =
is about all Mr.. Kruger has to say on the

such cars. since from this city diverge sc
many lines and divisions of roads. Mr.

learn iti Some do learn it; namely, the few that
have daily opportunity of using what they learn.
In few Cities where there are hosts OF Americans
soldiers and citizens English is living tongue; but
for the great multitude Of FilipinOs it is practical
ly dead language.
Why should Filipino care te learn Englishi
Not many persons are conceivable. In a few cities
it might help many a boy to get employment, and
in these cities English be successfully taught.
Elsewhere it is important only for the governing
class, affecting, as it does their commercial and po-
litical interests.
But for the Filipino peasantry there is no motive
for learning English, and accordingly they will not
and cannot learn it. A new language can only come
to them with life; schooling cannot give it to
them. Americans commonly suppose that these
dialects are very simple affairs consisting at most
of few hundred words, and with no elaborate
grammatical structure This is far from being true.
To speak OF the Vis.ayan language, to which I
have given some study, the richness Of its vOCabu-
larry has been ever recurrent occasion Of wonder
to me- and the beauty and consistency OF its gram
matieal structure obvious enough to charm even
very mperiectly trained philOlogist. The vOcabu.
larry in any locality contains about 900 words;
and let it be remembered that in this number is not
included one scientific term and not one term that
denotes anything that is to the civilization OF
the last few hundred years. 10 Vis-ayan village
English has chance in competition with Vis.ayan.
II every man in El Salvador knew all the English
that he is capable Of understanding he would never
use one word OF it for display, for his native
dialect serves his daily needs vastly better.

A queer question Of law arises in an Alabama
county. Two weeks ago, runs the story, a negro
was hanged for murder in due process. The body
was cut down and pronounced dead by the physi-
clan attending and then turned over to the rel
atives, who took it away. They observed signs Of
life in it, whereupOn physician was called in,
who applied restOrtatives and the man came back
to bis former existence in which he now abides in
health and strength. The question is whether the
Law can again lay hands upon him for that crime,
since officially he has paid the full penalty, and
stands dead in the legal records of the case at
any rate, nothing has been done looking TO his re-
arrest
