There is an amusing story by Athe-
neus which suggests the possible orr
gin of the phrase. "He does not know
enough to come in out of the wet"
According to the entertaining gram

under stress of evil circumstances bor-
rowed money from rich man, who
took as security for the loan mort
gage on the handsome pOrticO which
surrounded the market place. He was
not an ungenerous creditor, for when
it rained he caused the town criers to
announce that the citizens had permits
sion to take refuge under the colon
made. Strangers visiting the town who
failed to have the matter properly ex-
planned to them were so impressed by
the extraordinary. circumstances that
they spread abroad the report that the
people were so stupid that they had to
be told when to come III out of the wet.

For years this house has been known
as Russell Sages whim.''
Liberal offers have been made for
the purchase of the property, but he
has refused them all. He set a price
which real estate dealers will not meet,
and rather than "back down" Mr.. Sage
permits the house to be dismantled by
thieves. There is a great lock and
chain on the basement door, and the
front door is locked and barred. Ad-
Joining the house is q one story extern
sion. over which an agile person could
climb and gain access to the house.
Mr.. Sage bought the property in 1898
under a foreclosure sale from a DR..
Hayward, who occupied 1t. 1t was
used for a short time as a residence
and again as kindergarten school.
For months it has been untenanted.
The Sage house was built ten years
ago and was fitted with all the i'm
provements of that time and was kept
up to date in improvements. Now it is
a wreck. The nickel plumbing has been
removed. the marble mantels taken
away ana even NaludD le paEQueI
floor was carried off in sections. The
silver plated faucets and water piping
has been removed and sold as junk. \
grand chandelier in the parlor, from
which hung hundreds OF prisms, is
gone. Nothing is left but the walls and
the roof.
There never has been n caretaker in
the house since it was abandoned. Mr..
Sage preferred to take chances. When
the vandals began to attack the house
an offer was made to Mr.. Sage for
rental providing that he would put the
house in good condition. 1t would have
cost $1,000 to do it, and Mr.. Sage re-
fused
Not content with removing stuff of
value, the vandals destroyed the fine
satin faced wall paper and knocked the
plaster full of holes. The boys of the
neighborhood have made the windows

ironieS.
Mr.. SIcHugh, an Irish member of par

ward a bill for the amendment of the
law relating to contempt of court in Ire
land and was soon afterward sentenced
to three months Imprisonment for that
offense. Mr.. McHugh's bill was sent to
him in proof form while he was under

His Time Was Not Up.

A man of a mercenary spirit had
several sons, one of whom was on the
eve of his twenty first birthday. The
father had always been a strict disciple
marian, keeping his boys well under pa
rental charge, allowing them few Iber-
ties and making them work hard.
It was with a feeling of considerable
satisfaction that the young man rose
on the morning of his birthday and be-
gan to collect his personal belongings
preparatory to starting out in the
world.
The farmer, seeing his son packing
his trunk, which he rightly judged to
be evidence of the early loss of good
farm hand, stopped at the door of the
young mans room and asked what be
was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded bis
father of the day of the month and. the

Chicago Teacher Calls Him a "Cheap
Punster," Unfit For Children.
Shakespeare should not be used in
the grammar schools nor even in high
schools where there are many pupils
of foreign birth. Shakespeare was q
cheap punster and his wit was of n
slim order. His jokes are often of n
shady character. His language Is be-
hind the times. The bad grammar,
bad spelling and bad morals which ap-
pear in his writings should not be set
up as a standard for our young stu
dents to follow"
These were among the observations
made before the Chicago Principals
association the other day by Principal
William e. Watt of the Graham school
in Chicago, says the New York World.
The views were expressed in the
course of a discussion following the
presentation of committee report on
English.
Mr. Watt declared that the same OBJ
jections applied to some of Addison's
writings, to Goldsmith's "Vicar of
Wakefield and other classics. There
was not voice raised in behalf of the
Bard of Avon or of Addison.

Paris Journalist Finds American
Product Finest In the World.
NJ. Jules Huret, a Paris journalist,
who has been in nearly all parts of the
United States making observations for
his paper, the Figaro. thus summed up
his conclusions recently when seen soon
after his arrival in Chicago, says the
New York Herald:
''The two things that impressed me
most aud that 1 admired most in this
country We're the plant of the steel
trust at Pittsburg and the New York
chorus girl. The steel works are ex-
traordinary; the chorus girl is grand,
delightful, delicious.
There is nothing in the world so well
worth seeing and hearing as the chorus
girl in America. In Europe the girls in
the chorus can sing and dance, but they
are mostly passe. and they have not the
grace, the exquisite charm, of the
American chorus girl when she exc
cutes what is a sort of combination of
the cancan and cake walk.
"You have wonderful material prog

DR.. KEMP'S DISCOVERY
Remarkable Plan For Raising
the Dead to Life.
MAKES HEART BEAT BY MAssAGING

New York Physician Said to Have
Found Secret of Restoring Sus-
pended NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Life to
n Dog That Had Been Dead sixteen
Minutes.
Raising an interesting question as to
when life in animals actually becomes
extinct, DR.. Robert c. Kemp of New
York has found it possible to restore a
dog to life after its heart had stopped
beating for sixteen minutes, says the
New York Herald. After an eXamina-
ton by surgeons the animal was OIL
cially pronounced dead, yet DR.. Kemp
by massagng its heart so far brought
it back to life that it lived twcnty-four
hours and meanwhile was so far re-
stored to the use of its faculties that
IT ate and drank and performed its
usual functions.
In eleven out of twenty-three expert
mentS of this character DIR. Kemp has
succeeded in restoring dogs to life"
and he is convinced that in the case of
human beings under similar conditions
the proportion of RESERVATIONS would
be far greater.
In the case of the dogs ne ascribes
their death after an interval of from
two or three to twenty-four hours not
to failure OF his treatment, for that
has apparently been successful, but to
the fact that the dogs could not be
prevented from tearing away the band
ages with which their wounds were
bound up.
Only one such experiment has been
tried on a human being, and in that
case 1t was not successful, but the fact
that the girl whose life he tried TO re-
store after her heart had stopped beat
ing was suffering from a severe attack
of blood poisoning may explain the
failure.
In the case of the dogs on which Dr.
Kemp experimental all had been
placed under the influence of chlOro-
form. BY the use of delicate instru-
ments their heart beats and respiration
were carefully noted and automatic
ally charted, and when both respira-
ton and heart beats had ceased so far
as the chart showed the experiment in
restoration was begun.
DIR. Kemp's method IS founded on
one which has been in use abroad,
but the surgeons before whom he read
his paper at a meeting held in the New
York Academy of Medicine the other
night were of opinion that ne had i'm
proved on the foreign system, which is
to make an incisiOn large enough for
the insertion of the entire hand. while
the incision made by DIR. Kemp is only
as large as would be made for the re-
moval of pus. He inserts only two
fingers, and instead of maSsaging the
heart in regular beats he initiates the
double beat of the heart when 1t is
working under normal conditions, as
shown on his chart, by the use of his
apparatus The vital spark remains
active, he believes. and he merely fans
it into renewed life by massaging the
heart.
For more than two years DIR. Kemp
has been making experiments of this
character in the physiological labora-
tory of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, assisted by DR.. \. w. Gardi-
ner, and surgeons who have been
aware of the work he has been. doing

that may best be styled a course in

from Ann ArbOr. Mich, to the Chicago

inventor Of the novel scheme, and. his
course, which has been hitherto shun-
ned as one of the toughest at the uni
Versity, now seems likely to become
the most popular study on the CAM

Ever since the spring vacation ex-
pired Professor TruebloOd has been
trying different methods of exciting in

the ranks of the absentees from classes

he hit upon the successful plan, and

classes are the spectators of thrilling

his alone. Each budding orator takes
his place before a blushing maid. and
