GREAT POETS sloNET RING.
Young Woman Treasures Memento Of

OF all the personal belongings of
Richard Henry Stoddard that were be-
queathed to Miss Alice Breuder, the
young housekeeper, who was his wife's
devoted friend, she treasures nothing
SO much as the signet ring the poet
wore. She inherited autograph letters
of great interest, and objects Of art.
but none of these is so suggestive of
her benefactor as the ring. II was
given to her when Mr.. Stoddard was
on his deathbed. One night the ven.
cradle poet called Miss Breuder,
slipped the ring from his emaciated
finger and, without a word handed II
to her. 1t is a plain ring of antique
gold with the stone uncarved. Since
Mr.. Stoddard's death Miss Breuder has
been inconsolable, living alone in the
family house in East Fifteenth street.
She has made no plans for the future

Humorists Are Classified,

At the annual dinner of the gradu-

Daniel Webster Smith of Milwaukee
proposed that the university establish
"a department for the cultivation OF
humor, such as after-dinner speaking,
storytelling, cartooning." If this
proposition is made in good faith, it is
a mean and unwarranted, underhand
jab at the department Of sociology,
which furnishes all the humor that is
needed to refresh the world. Besides
after-dinner speaking and story-tell-
