In connection with q slight afec-

very pretty story is told indicative OF
General Grants tender devotion to her.
When he was president, she became
somewhat sensitive about her eyes
she suffered from strabismus-and con-
suited a specialist to see what could be
done for her. The specialist told her
he thought he could improve her eyes,
but the operation would be painful.
She consulted her husband to learn
whether he weuld advise the operation.

general, pressing her checks with his
two hands. Let those dear eyes stay

POSTAL ODDITIES.

With one exception there has been a
deficit in postal revenues every year
since 1885.
Thousands Of letters are mailed e7-
cry day without the vestige of an ad-
dress to indicate for whom they are In

Mail matter of any kind addressed
In a vague and indefinite way, such as
to 'the most prominent physician"
etc, is not deliverable.
Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster
general, boasted that under his admin
istration all the cities of the country
had been provided with weekly mail.
One may mail letter destined for
foreign parts without prepayment OF
postage. 1t will 50 forward to destna-
ton, and the recipient will be required
to pay double rates for the privilege of
reading it if he values it sufficiently.
At the Chicago post Office a record is
kept Of the different ways of spelling

German Journalistic CODE.
The American newspaper thinks it
essential to make clear the source Of
important statements. An interview
with q nameless statesman whose
identity cannot even be guessed from
the context is put down in American
newspaper parlance as "a fake" But
the opposite method is the method In
the continental countries Of Europe.

that night Caprivi accorded me an In

END OF THE HACKNEY.
How He Is Worn Out In the Service
OF Society.

The prancing, high stepping hack
news that draw the shiny carriages Of
the rich are often driven the pace that
kills. In Horses Nine" Scwell Ford
tells the story of such horse and his
mate and how they were worn out.
The author says: Seeing them come
down the street, heads tossing, pole
chains jingling, The crest and mono
gram Of the house Of Jerry slistening
on quarter cloth and rosctte, their pol
lshed hoofs seeming barely to touch the
asphalt, You might have thought their
lot one to be enyied. But Bonfire
knew better
He curved his neck and threw his
aoofs high, whether his muscles achcd
or no; in winter he stamped to keep
warm, in summer to dislodge the flies;
lie did mis- work faithfully, early or
late, in cold and in heat, and all this
because he was q son Of Sir Bardolph
and for the reason that it was his ma
ture to. Had it been put upon him he
would have worked in harness until
he dropped. prancing his best to the
last
No supreme test, however, was ever
brought to the endurance and willing
ness Of Bonfire. They just kept him
on the pole. nerves tense, muscles
strained, until he began to lose form.
His action no longer had that grace
and abandon which so pleased Mrs.
Jerry when she first saw him. Long
standing in the cold nunbs the mus
clcs. 1t robs the legs of their spring.
Sudden starts, such as are made when
you are called from line after an hours
waiting, finish the business. Try as he
might Bonfire could not step so high,
could not carry q perfect crest. His
neck had lost its roundness, in his
rump a crease had appeared.
1t last the inevitable happened. Two
young hackneys. plump of neck, round
Of quarter, springy of knee and hook,
were brought to the stable. Bonfire
and his mate were led out Of their old
stalls to return no more. They had
been worn out in the service and cast
aside like pair Of old gloves.

A Hearty Eater.

There Is a story in the French army
Of a captain who made q wager one
day that a drummer Of his company
could eat 4 whole calf. The drummer,
proud Of his distinction, promised to do
honor to the captains compliment sc
cordingly, a calf was prepared in Tari-
Gus appetizing ways and was being
promptly disposed Of by the drummer.
When lie had finally consumed about
three-quarters Of the repast, he paused
for another draft Of wine and, placing
his knife and fork on his plate, said to
his superior officer, "You had better
have the calf brought on, had you not,
for all these little kickshaws will end
in taking up room"

and head Of the national association OF

Minnesotas' total this year was ~, 722,2 Q.
3,126 points better than the best preyi-
Gus record, made by Harvard year ago.
This year the crimson failedto come up to
last years figures. Columbus, which took
second last year, increased her total, but
was still 4,130 below Minnesota.
A change probably will be made in the
strength tests next year. Professor
Sargent will suggest at the next meeting
of the association Of gymnasium directors.
several innovations, intended to make
speed and endurance count equally with
strength.
Minnesota's victory in the strength con-
test gives her q clean sweep in the GYM

The HAMLINE GLASS WAR
Freshmen stoutly Defend Banner
Nailed to the Tower Of the
Assembly Building.

The sweetness and light that bud from
college culture still 2 continue to show
forth at Hamline university. The free
for-an fight between the freshmen and
the sophon1ores, that began Thursday
when the sophomores tore off the fresh
mans new class caps, was resumed yes
terday. The sluggfhg continued all day.
Only one student attended the lecture on
civics. The first year class in ethics did
not appear at all. It was an influential
member of this class who rose before
dawn yesterday and nailed a freshman
banner, inscribed, 1906, to the tower OF
the assembly building. The challenge was
quickly discovered by sophomore. He
called his comrades. Within fifteen min
utes a resolution that the banner be
taken down and transferred to the care
OF the sophomore students, was being
courteously debated on the campus.
AT noon the judges were about to award
the victory to the ''sophs.'' But the re-
buttal Of the 'freshies' was uncomnaonly
eloquent. They quickly recorded four pal
pable black eyes. They also tore down a
thirty-foot stairway leading to the bel
fry, and thus destroyed all logical ap-
proach to the sanctity Of the Tapping
banner.

the resourcefulness of his debaters. has
agreed to act as arbiter. He confesses to
