Of Pennsylvania, he says. You have
lost out of college life that which 1t

hard in my college days, but We talked
of our sports less than you do. You,
I fear, care too little for your intel
lectual athletes. Athletic sports are

Dignity Of House Of Lords.

A, stranger admitted below the bar
of the British house of lords was re-
quired to deposit his umbrella with
one of the attendants. The umbrella
was not to be found afterward and
the owner brought an action in court
to recover its value. He was success
full and was awarded IS. But this
was violation of sanctuary which
the lord chancellor would not tolerate.
Summoning the plaintiff and his attor.

refrained from committing them both
to prison on their making a humble
apology and refunding the amount
they had gained.

The Country Of Albania.

Albania lies $50 miles on the Adri-
attic sea and is bO to 100 miles wide.
It was formed originally, says William
Jackson Armstrong in his Heroes Of
Defeat" from part Of Ilyris. all of
Epirus and part Of Macedonia in the
eleventh century. From this territory
sprung Pyrrhus, who defeated the Ro.
man invader; Philip and Alexander Of
Macedon, the ConQuerors; Perseus.
whose fame as a soldier covered the
world 60 years after Christ, and
SkanderDerg. who for 40 years de-
feated armies sent against him by the
Turk. Ancient Albania lay in Asia,
just east of the Caucasus.

AmonQ the Aibanians.

In many respects the Albanians are
the most interesting people In Europe.
Thy commit no crimes but murder.
Among them human life has an even
smaller value than in Sicily, and the
vendetta prevails even more rigidly.
The old law Of an eye for an eye. a
tooth for tooth and life for life
is strictly enforced, but the laws OF
hospitality are equally respected, and
when once a man has broken bread
or tasted salt with Albanians his life
is safe against all corners as long as
he remains their guest.

of architecture that buildings should
be in perfect accord with he en-

SOME pretty girl has evidently
been snubbing the editor of the
Corsicana, Democrat, and the worm
has turned against the whole tribe
of pretty girls, whom he treats to a
free roast as follows:
A beautiful girl is very likely to
believe she was made to be looked
at, and so she sets herself up for a
show at every window, every door,
on every corner of the street, in
every company which opportunity
offers for an exhibition of herself
In most every case she is the most
despicable creature in existence, to
the opposite sex, especially men
who are men and not forked sticks.

The following extract, from one OF
Bishop Spaulding's lectures entitled
Opportunity is worthy f cons:G-
Grafton:
Everything has a meaning, has
truth and nourishment for those who
are wholly alive, and opportunities
come crowding in upon them; OPP
portunities to learn, to admire, to
love, to cheer, to console, to enlighten
and to guide. Is there not always
opportunity to cheer ones self, to
refrain from facial and cheap pleas
ures that we may make ourselves
capable for JOY? Pleasure is the bait
of Natures hook and they who bite
are caught. Pleasure is deaths for
ger. II we are but true and high in
the common affairs, nothing shall
have power to harm Us. Is oppul.
tunity lacking to be polite, obligins,
discreet and amiable, to listen with
attention, to observe carefully, to
bear bravely and to do right? 1t is
difficult for finding occasion for not
being sincere and honest. Honesty
is the best policy, because an honest
man, whether or not he gets place
or money, is a genuine man, self
approved and pleasing to God. In
poverty he is rich, in prison he is
free. Whatever this outward fate
and fortune, failure cannot touch
him for he being a genuine man is
the highest we may know on earth.
Is opportunity lacking to speak the
truth and to live within ones means
to obey the great commandments?
Do not lie, do not goin debt. Lying
makes US low in our own eyes, and
debt makes us slaves"
