COLLEGE STUDENTS PAY UP.
Get Trusted for Extra Eatables and
Borrow Money, But "Make
Good" In the End.

An eating house which is also q
student bank is run at the University
of Michigan. The proprietor is man
of 20, known to the students as ''Tut,"
who has built up the odd business in
his old age, says the Chicago Tribune.
To. .'Tut's" the students go between
meals and eat about $4,000 worth of
beefsteak, eggs, oysters and griddle
cakes in year. The eating is done
mostly between the hours Of six p.
m. and midnight. BIT the good
grub is not the secret of the old
mans financial success. 'sTut'' also
lends money and cashes checks for
students whose paper at the time of
cashing is worthless. He charges no
interest, demands no security and
lends to the men who owe him most.
On the old m S books there are
records of men WAC owed as much
as $50 at one time for only part of a
years eating. There is about $25 in
cash outstanding all the time in coin
lent to customers. The curious thing
about it is that "Tut" considers the
man who owes him perhaps most
money good customer" and lends
him the potent flyers. "Tut" also has
checks, absolutely worthless, which
he has cashed for boys. Knowing
that they are worthless, he requires
only the students sworn word that
there is money coming from home"
There are no losses In this conf.
Dental student banking. Five dollars
was the amount of 'Tut's" loss last
year. All of those voracious young
men who owed $50 paid in full, and
all the money from home" came.
"Tut" applies the principle: Treat
the student world like honest men
and they'll be honest" 1t is safe to
say that some Of them are more hon.
est with him than with their own IA
theirs.

binary Six-FOOter.

At the headwaters OF the Elk and
Holly rivers of West Virginia. where
the mountain farms lie $500 feet
above the level Of the sea. men grow
to be giants. Tall men up there
among the clouds, the great poplars
and great oaks seem to be the rule
and not the exception, says the Chi
cago Chronicle.
"A short time since while travel
ing up Elk" said man just back
from that country, Il stopped at the
most commodious house had seen
during the morning and asked for
accommodations for myself and my
tired horse. A man ripe with years
tall-he was 6 feet AZ inches in
height-and of commanding presence
greeted me pleasantly and with a
hearty welcome.
Il noticed that there was quite a
crowd at his house and took it for
granted that neighborhood meeting
of some kind was being held until
told by my host, who was Clarence
Gregory, that it was merely family
reunion and that his entire family OF
Is boys and one daughter, with their
families, made up the crowd. The
Ii sons of Clarence Gregory were all
over six feet tall, some of them six
feet six inches, and weighed over 18C
pounds each.
ION the day following I crossed the
top of the mountains at the head OF
Leatherwood, where reside the fam
lily of Benjamin Hamrick and his
nine remarkable sons. Benjamin
Hamrick, the father, is 6 feet 5h
inches in height and weighs ICE
pounds Arnold, the eldest son, is
feet III inches and weighs 1853:
Isaac, feet 81 inches, weight zoe

1853; William, 6 feet inch, weight
161; Eli, 6 feet inches, weight 155;
Simpson, 6 feet IL inches, weight
1853; Ellis, feet inches, weight
226; George, feet inches, weight
$50 pounds.
''There are, it is claimed, more than
100 Hamrick voters in the county and
every one of them is over six feet in
height.
Yankee Bill Hamrick, one of the
three men of Webster county who
wore the blue through the civil war
lives at the top of Point Wilton, al
an elevation of $500 feet above the
sea. His family consists of his wife
II sons and daughters, all Of his
sons being over six feet in height
while Mr.. Hamrick is 6 feet 4 inches

of DR.. Wiley, the chief of the bureau
under whose supervision the expert.
ments are being conducted, and each
was supplied with an eye-opener cen.

sal cylic acid. This preservative will
be one of three that are to be tested
during the coming year
1t has been intimated that the ex.
periments in this special drug NAV
have to be discontinued within a few
weeks owing to its character. 1t pre-
vents digestion when taken in large
doses, and it is this that las caused
1t to be selected fer trial. Meats are
preserved with it. anG its effect upon
the human system will be carefully
noted during its u-e, at the depart
ment table.

borax experiments last year. the drugs

proportions as are found in preserved
food of the same kind The drugs are
always administered in capsules, and
every ounce ct food is weighed before
being sent to the table. The most
accurate record is kept of every phase
of the experiments and the whole ar.
ranged for eventual publication. In
the case of the borax experiments last
year the records are nearly ready for
publication, when the results of the

4 TINE TO KEEP COOL.

reason why anybody should become un-
duly excited over prevailing conditions
With the workingmen organized on one
side and the business men organized on
the other, whatever negotiations are un-
dertaken between them should proceed
through their regular representatives
who may be authorized to present op-
posing demands and to state what pos
sible concessions may be expected.
Wage workers and employers are bound
to get together eventually on a common
ground and settlement can be expedited

only be retarded by resort to arbitrary
or high-handed procedure by either
party.
| The higher the atmospheric tempera-
ture gets and the warmer the labor war
wages, the greater the necessity for the
people engaged in 1t to keep cool. In
the councils of the contending forces II
will be well to send the hot-heads to the
rear and let the men with sober judg.
ment and even temperament take the
lead. Those who talk the loudest and
are most profuse with promises and
threats as rule are Just the ones
whose advice is least trustworthy. II

observe this injunction will come out

COAL BARoys AND THE Law

The anthracite coal barons are assum-
ing a defiant attitude. Mr.. Baer has
refused to furnish the Interstate Com
merce commission with the contracts
which the trust compels producers of
coal TO enter into with the coal-carrying
roads. 1t being most important that
the commission should have these con-
tracts, the investigation Is halted until
the United States circuit court passes
upon the question of the commissions
authority in the matter. President
Truesdale of the Lackawanna railroad
denies the authority Of the commission
to investigate the railroad combine and
has refused to answer any questions
relating to the mining or sale Of coal.
The Philadelphia North American re-
marks that there is but one reason for
the refusal of the Coal trust managers
to produce evidence demanded by the
government and every intelligent citi-
! zen who has observed the course of the
trust for a few months past knows
what that reason is: THE coal-railroad
combine is unlawful and its public
statements concerning cost of mining,
| freight rates, prices, profits and divi-
sion of plumber are not believed by any
one to be within miles Of the truth.
| These gentlemen who defy the law and
treat the government with insolence
and contempt are the most pertinacious
preachers of obedience to law by others.
They do not beseech protection when
their interests are menaced; they de-
mand 1t and bitterly denounce the gov.
ernment for the slightest hesitation in
calling out the regular army to enforce
what they say is the law"
1t is perfectly obvious from the posi-
tion of these coal barons that they
know the combine TO be unlawful
Their course plainly confesses this. In
the event of the court deciding against
the commission. it would seem to b,
clearly the duty Of the attorney gen
eral of the United States to institut,
proceedings against the trust under til,
sherman act, which there appears to b,
no question is being violated by tn,
