The Professor In a Fix.

The herr professor has entered
the lecture room and taken off his
overcoat. Now he takes his seat at
the desk, when he becomes aware
that he has left his manuscript be-
hind. He is greatly perplexed, for
without manuscript it is impossible
for him to proceed with the lecture.

ing he will be back Immediately, he
hurries home, as he remembers hav-
ing left the papers in his other coat.

less haste. His coat hangs there on
the peg, and sure enough the manu-
script is in one of the pockets. He
takes it out and transfers it to the
pocket Of the coat he is wearing.
He then takes off this coat and puts
on the other and hurries off to the
college to find when he gets there
that he is again minus his manu-
script. -Fiegende Batter.

Uses of the Sermon.

Teddy and Mary had been taken
to church for the first time, and on
the way home they discussed what
they had heard and seen.
'Well, now" said Teddy, with a
frown, 'I'd like to know what the
sermon was for, anyhow
"Why, Teddy" said little Mary,
with superior air. Don't you
know that yet? It's to give the

success. He had now before him a
pile of gold and bills. He had won
back the paltry amount, his last re-
source, that he had lost in the be-
ginning of the game Now, risking
200 or 300 louis at once, favored by
fantastic fate, he was about to win
back the patrimony which he had
squandered in such few years. He
played desperately, like drunken
man, like a mailman, and he won. He
cast his louis on the table recklessly
with certainty and disdain.
But in his heart was burning
pain. He was haunted by thoughts
of the beggar child sleeping in the
snow, Of the child he had robbed.
''She is still in the same place.
Of course she is. In few mo-
ments, yes, as soon as l o'clock
strikes-I swear it will 60 out
from here. ] will take her sleeping
in my arms | will carry her home.
| will put her in my own warm bed.
And | will adopt and love her as
my own daughter, and | will take
care of her always, always"
But the clock struck 1, 1:15, 1:45
and Lucien was still sitting at the
internal table. Finally, a minute
before 2, the proprietor arose
brusquely and said in a loud voice:
E"The bank is closed, gentlemen.
Enough for today"
Lucien bounded to his feet.
Roughly repulsing the gamblers who
crowded about him and regarded
him with envious admiration he
hurried and ran toward the stone
bench. From a distance he saw the
child under the gaslight.
'"Thank GodY he cried. "She is
still there"
He went up to her and took her
hand.
ooh, how cold she is! Poor little
thing!"
He took her in his arms and raised
her up. The child's head fell back
ward and she did not awaken.
GLOW soundly one sleeps at her
agew
He pressed her against his chest
to warm her, and, seized with a
vague anxiety, he was about to kiss
her on her eyes to awaken her. Then
he saw with terror that they were
half open and that they were set
and CHASTITY A horrible suspicion
crossed his brain. He put his mouth
close to the child's. No breath
came out.
While Lucien was winning for
tune with the gold louis stolen from
the child she had died, died with
cold.
Choking with anguish, Lucien
tried to cry ont, and in the effort
he aroused from his nightmare and
found himself lying Oh the settee in
the clubroom, where he had dropped
asleep shortly before midnight, and
where the porter, the last to leave in
the morning, had left him undis-
turbed, out Of sympathy for his
misfortune.
The December morn shone through |
the frosty panes. Lucien went out,
pawned his watch, took a bath, ate
his breakfast, then went to the re-
cruiting Office, where he enlisted as
a private in the First regiment of |
African chasseurs.
Today Lucien De Hem is lieu
tenant, He has only his salary to
live upon, but it is sufficient, as he
is prudent and never touches card.
It seems that he even saves some
thing. A few days ago a comrade
who followed him distance in the
steep streets of La Kasbah saw him
give aims to a little Spanish girl
sleeping in a doorway and had the
indiscretion to see just how much
he had given to. poverty. He was
much surprised at the poor heuten-
ants generosity.
Lucien De Hem had placed gold
louis in the girls hand!

Oklahoma Legislature in due time.
Mr. Carnegie, il seems. on the
lookout for place to bestow his
generosity, had his attention called
to the field offered by the Oklaho-
ma University by our fire OF jan
nary 6. The conditions connected
with the gifts do not imply ex-
penditure greater than the amount
expended annually for the support
of the Library, so the Board of
Regents at their last meeting ac-
cepted the gift. With the plans
already on foot this means the ad.

A REBUILT LAWYER. Food That Put Him Right.

It is easy to correct the bad effect of wrong eating if one will give 1t a little thought. Scientific food is just as pleas ant to the palate, and in the case of Grape-Nuts, is more delicious than i'm proper food and 1t makes world of diff ference in health and spirits
 Some three months ago." writes MT. D.. l.. Saunders of Boston, Mass, T suf- fered terribly with indigestion: all kinds of food distressed me; sometimes l had a feeling of suffocation about the heart. especially at night. My sleep was broken and lost flesh rapidly.
 l commenced using GrapekNuts and the relief from indigestion was almost im- mediate, and in a short time entirely dis appeared; my heart resumed it's normal condition and attribute the cure entirely to Grape Nuts.
 A wel-knOwn lawyer of this city told me that be suffered from excessive nerv- oI;sness. and before entering the courts room to try a case was obliged to resort to stimulants. I urged him to try Grape Nuts which he did with almost marvellous results: he not only gained flesh. but the nervousness left and his former strength and confidence returned.
 am convinced that Grape-Nuts gives strength 10 the body and vigor to the brain. It is worthy of the highest praise and I will cheerfully answer all letters seeking information in regard to the food Remember Grape-Nuts food is most emphaticaHy not medicated food in any sense of the term; 1t is made of wheat and barley by scientific processes and, the only reason it helps cure people Is that they quit improper food and take a food in which the strong brain and nerve building clements of Natures 8 grains are preserved and presented to the digestive machinery in a form that can be quickly and surely digested.

MORE PAY FOR JUDGES
SENATE BILL PASSED BY THE
 HOUSE.
Amendment to Prohibit United States Jurists from Accepting Rail- road Passes is Turned Down.
 A Montgomery Bill.

Washington. Jan. Z.- The House de- voted the day to bills reported from the Judiciary Committee. passing about twenty. Most of them were of minor character but two were of general im- portance.
 One was to meet the original package decision of the Supreme Court by Tnak- ing intoxicating liquors imported into States subject to the jurisdiction of the States. The bill is designed to prevent evasion under the original package decis- ion Of liquor laws in prohibition States. The other bill is the Senate bill to in- crease the salaries of Federal Judges, It raises the salaries of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to $13,OO0, the As sociate Justices to $T2500; Circuit Judges to $7,O0o; District Judges to $6,O00; the Chief Justice of the Court of Claims to $6.5O0; Associate Justices to $6.OO0. and the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to S6,O00.
 When the bill Ybs called mp MT. Smith lKy.D opposed it. maintaining that the work of the Judges had not increased enough to warrant the increase and that the increased cost Of living advanced as an argument in favor of the bill was not sufficient reasons On the contrary. he argued that the cost of living was lower today than when the salaries were fixed by law. MT. DriscOll .(N. Y) also op- posed the b'll.
 Afr. Cannon concluded the debate in an argument in favor of the bill. He said 1t increased the salaries of the United States f,pdiciarv E ner cent or about $i10, OO0. The country needed and could af- ford to pay liberal salaries for capable judges.
 An amendment was adopted striking from the bilI the provision aboilshing the payment of any expenses of Federal Judges
 Mir Randall tTexl offered an amend ment to prohibit Federal Judges rom accepting free transportation from rail- roads or from telegraph or telephone
 franks,
