e117E ON FACULTY CHAIRS.
President and Professors of Butler College Victims of Practical Joke

President and Professors of Butler
 College Victims of Practical Joke.
 Indianapolis, Oct 22. - President Scott Butler and the members of the facrrlty of Butler college who attended the chapel services yesterday morning had an unusual experience. Some time early in the morning sticky compound, which afterwards was found to be liquid glue, had been spread over the cane bottoms of the chairs which the faculty members use. The preparation was not visible, and it was only by direct contact that it's true nature became evident
 The faculty members literally .tstuck to their places. 7 Some of the members saw the humorous side of the situation. while others maintained an extremely frigid composure. < The service was extremely short The faculty tore itself away and quickly disappeared. It is said that the culprits are known and will be punished.

SOAP THE ENEMY OF MAN,

To the defense of soap as a necessi- ty of life under modern conditions the disputatious British public have sprung with alacrity that meets with the 11eariest commendation from soap manufacturers throughout the country.
 The discussion as to the good or evil effect of soap upon the human body was started by the announcement that a royal commission was to be appoint ed to investigate the reasons for the alleged physical deterioration among the English populace.
 This led correspondent of the Times to declare that the deterioration was due to the excessive use of soap. Soap, this person maintained de- stroyed the natural oils of the body and paved the way for rheumatism, chills, disease and other ills.
 The correspondent cites his own case as an example he not having used soap for thirty years. during which time he had led a seafaTing life and been perfectly healthy.
 Dermabologists. physicians. recruit ing surgeons and other experts in the effects of soap on the body have all given as their opinions that soap is not guilty. Life without soap, it is assert ed, would be unbearable.
 A tone of doubt was infused into the discussion by the Lancet, which sta d that soap does remove the natural o |. Of the skin. but that cold cream will neutralize this effect.
 Nevertheless, got a few persons manage to maintain personal cleanli- ness without the use of soap at all. says the Lancet.
 Now the soap-loving British are ask ing "How?' in response to the Lam cet'g assertion.

Report Of Progress From the Super

 Secretary J. H. Vaill of the Connec- ticut commission on the Louisiana Purchase exposition yesterday re- ceived letter sent by H. Wales Lines of Meriden to the president of the commission, Frank l.. Wilcox The letter says that the superintendent at St Louis reports progress on the Con- nectlcut building at St Louis as fol- lows: Three-fourths of the staff work on the outside is complete and it will probably be entirely complete by Octo- Der IT with the exception of a part of the columns. The interior wood trimming is about third done. The progress Of the interior finish has been delayed because the hardware did not arrive. The building is now so far advanced that anyone can get 9 fair impression of what it's exterior anDear ance will be. Connecticut people wis. 1t1ng in St Louis are invited to look the building over.
 The commission has insured Inc building for $15,oO0. It was placed by Harold c. Holcombe with five Hartford companies.

sNAPPERs CATCH FROGS.

l t'The snapping turtle,'' said man l familiar with that reptile and its l ways, .eats among other things, bull
 frogs. You might think that so ac- complished swimmer and so great q jumper as the bullfrog would easily keep out of the way of the slow nov !! ing turtle, but by chance, or by strat- egy, or combination of both. the
 numbering turtle catches many a bull
 frog. Here, for instance, is a bull
 frog lying on top of the water, rest ing or summing itself. A big snapping
 turtle is floating or padding idly in the water near by. The turtle
 movements are all clumsy and slow,
 all except the movement of it's head
 and neck It's neck is highly tele-
 scopic, and stretches out to length you wouldn't expect. and it darts out
 it's head to that length with electric
 suddenness Floating along near. that
 bullfrog the snapping turtle shoots out it's head and catches Mir BullfEag
 by the leg.
 'eThen the bullfrog plunges and
  turtle holds it fast in it's hard beak. and the frogs splashes only serve to draw other snapping tuAtles, and you'd better draw the curtain here, for among them the turtles simply tear the bullfrog limb from limb and
 devour it. And snapping turtles catch bullfrogs ashore. too, the snap per being a great shore-goer. The snapper likes. especially, plowed and cultivated fields. Probably if the
 snappipg turtle could indicate It's it's choice of abinding places it would say: Give me a good-sized pond containing animal life-frogs and fishes a plenty-with cultivated land coming down to the edge of all around, in which I would find the go- ing easy, and where I would find great things to eat For the snap ping turtle is vegetarian as we'll as. a flesh eater.
 q will come ashore into plowed fields at night and wander away from the water hundreds of feet. For that matter, of course. turtles will travel long distances on land. And the snapping turtles wander around generally through the grass, and Into farm-yards for that matter, and barn yards, seeing what they can find. Sometimes on these expeditions, they come across bullfrog ashore. and the snapping turtle catches and eats young chickens and turkeys. I heard of a case once in which snapping turtle caught a quail. A man coming along road on the south side of Long Island found this snapping turtle III the edge of the wood, about POO yards from the shore, holding quail by one of it's legs. The turtle had, by chance, come upon this. quail there in the woods, or 1t may be that the bevy had settled near where the turtle was " ing. with this quail settling right ny fhe turtles head. The man that saw this quail thus held captive struck the turtle across the back of the neck With a whip he was carrying to make it let %: but instead of making the snap per do so that blow made it close It's heak tighter and it bit off the qua1ls leg: and minus one leg the quail, US wings still uninjured, flew away.

Thinks He is Entitled to d Check

A correspondent writes to an exchange as follows: If Mir White of Boston is alive, and this article meets his eye, 1 trust
 he will at once forward ne a check for $25,0 ,000. It would be well to send certified check,
 and if he wants to add the inter est on S25, GOO for thirty years l shall take it as a still further evidence of his MaydOweriSh in- tegrity. The interest ought to
 be figured at ten per cent, but 1
 would accept six and send him a receipt in fulI. If Mir White is dead, aud his widow wants me to keep his memory green in my
 heart, she can do as 1 hope he
 would if alive.
 1t was thirty years ago last
 month that 1 first shook hands
 with Mr. White. It was in Vir-
 ginia City, Montana He was shattered in health. 1 am quite
 sure it was shattered, because he had to dilute Montana whisky i 250 per cent before he could swallow it, and even then he feared case of lock jaw. He had left Boston on the advice of
 doctor and he had fetched up
 in Virginia City to see if he couldn't cough up penny he
 had accidentally swal lowed while
 gazing at the cop of Bunker Hill
 monument. If man had any thing in him Virginia City would bring it out in the halcyon days,
 and it was very proper for him to expect relief.
 1 don't remember which of the four of us who were equal own CTS of the "Great Golconda" sil- yer mine discovered Mr. White and ascertained that he was a tenderfoot of the most pro nounced type. We never quar-
 reled over the honor attached to the discovery. The Golconda had busted Us. We had put in four dollars for every one dollar taken out. We wanted to go home and work on a farm at S13 per month and found. We want ed to do anything except hang on to that claim. We were hang ing on to get an offer of $50 or less when Mir. White appeared on the scene. It seemed ike the hand of Providence. He began to talk of mining matters and we began to bless the May flower for bringing his grandfather across tle sea, and also to put up job on him. At the end of the week he coughed up the cent and then his interest in mines rapidly in- creased So did our interest in him. At the end of a fortnight he was ripe. He confessed his entire ignorance about mines, but was willing to trust our in, tegrity. We were perfectly will ing to sell him on that basis. We had lots of integrity, but not over S15 cash in the common fund.
 We had @ hole in the ground about twelve feet deep. I know it was about twelve feet, for my back still aches when I think of

the last day 1 handled the pick axe down there. Mr. White went out to view our hole m the ground. He seemed pleased. We i lowered him down and he came up smiling We thought he smiled because the old rope and windIass didn't give way an} drop him back. We had decidel to let Mr White have that hole in the ground for S50O in cash and throw in the two hOrseshoes nailed on the barrel for luck, but he was so green and soft and tender that we concluded to dOu- ole the figure. We haunt put it at him, however, when he paral- yzed us by an offer of S1O, ,OO0for the GOlcOnda. None of the four of us breathed for the next half hour. When we finally got away by ourselves we acted like luna tics.
 The day we made out our pa per and got our money was tho longest day 1 ever expect to see in this vain and deceitful world We were shaking with fear that I Mir. White would back out, or that 1t would occur to him to get the services of an expertS and when the money, which we had no difficulty in getting at d bank, was finally handed over we could hardly realize that we were awake and had scoOped in victim. Each one of us had skipped the country within tweh- ty- four hours. We felt sorry for Mir. White, of course; but it was Montana sorrv There was even talk of chipping in $50 apiece to get hlm back home in good shape, but no one chipped. 1 believe we finally agreed that the walk would do him good. For the first 200 miles we ex- pected to be Overhauled by MT. White and a sheriff, but if they pursued us it was by another route. Perhaps they didn't pur- sue.
 six months later 1 met Mir. White in Chicago. 1 tried to. dodge him, but he Was too quick for me. l was about to restore the balance of the money had on hand when he hugged me ii a brotherly manner and invited me to accompany him to a jewei' ry store and accept a present If a S100) diamond pm Suspect ing his sanity, l broke away and ran for my life, and it was a week later before 1 heard a dull thud. Then 1 read in the papers that Mr White, the sOftand gen. tle tenderfOOt from Boston. had sold his Golconda mine for S200,- 000 spot cash, and that in four weeks the new owners had taken out almost half that sum in ore.
 1 beg Mir. Whites pardon for not bringing up this matter be- fore, but the fact is that 1 have not even yet fully recovered from the shock. I believe hinI to be honest and conscientious. I don't think he is a man to take advantage of ah0th@f's misfor- tunes. We. were forced to sell the Golconda. of course. We knew Mir. White was getting a big thing, but if turned out s0 rich that he can afford to be just. 1 think my three partners intend. ed 10 beat him, but 1 didn't. I was the one who suggested that we sell out for S1,000. l don't claim a One-foGrth part of 'the sun NIT.

A Christmas Parady.

How dear to my heart was the old fashioned
dinner
My mother prepared in the long, long ago;
The epicure, be he n saint or n sinner,
Could ne'er for Il moment such victuals
forego.
The wide spreading board with the straight
chairs close by 1t
The fat turkey hen, with the stufiin did
swell,
The mince pies, tho crullers, and crimson
sauce by it
And then the mashed 'taters we all loved so
we'll,
That fat tender turkey,
That we'll roasted turkey,
That big juicy turkey
We all loved so we'll.
That old fashioned dinner 1 loved as a
treasure,
And often wished father would stop saying
grace;
For the riands before me excited such
pleasure.
Parental restraint, only, ;kept me in plnce.
My plate how l seized 1t with hands smear
ed with candy,
And down by the platter of turkey 1t fell;
1 saw not tine napkin when lay there quite
handy,
Till the crashing of crockery broke off the
spell
The fat, tender turkey,
The well roasted turkey,
The big juicy turkey
We all loved so we'll.
How sweet from the brown, tender breast to
receive 1t,
AS poised on my fork, gazed oft with fond
eyes,
Till my mothers rebuke. made me partly
believe 1t,
My eyes, and my stomach were not the
same size,
And now, far away from that loved habita-
ton,
The home OF my childhood where once I
did dwell.
My fancy reyerts to the Christmas collation.
And sigh for the presence of those loved
so we'll.
That fat tender turkey,
That we'll roasted turkey,
That big juicy turkey
We all loved we'll.
