Unsatisfactory Evidence.

It isquite as hard as ever to get
ahead Of Pat. This was proved the
other day during trial in an English
court room, an Irish witness being eI-
amined as to his knowledge Of a shoot
ing affair.
"Did you see the shot fred1" the
magistrate asked, when Pat had been
sworn.
mo, sorr. l only heard it, was
the evasive answer.
That evidence is not satisfactory,
replied the magistrate, sternly, stand
down"
The witness proceeded to leave the
box, and directly hi. back was turned
he laughed derisively. The magis-
trate, indignant at the contempt Of
court, called him back and asked how
he dared to laugh in court
did ye see me laugh, your honor2"
queried the offender.
mo, sir; but heard you, was the
irate answer.
THAT evidence is not satisfactory"
said Pat, quietly, but with a twinkle
in his eye.
And this time everybody laughed
even the magistrate.

A Story of Mr.. Cleveland.

Mr.. Isador Rayner, at Music Hall
last Wednesday night, told two stories
which pleased his hearers, but which
be had told before in the same place.
One of these was of the man who after,
he had attended his wifs's funeral,
was asked how he enjoyed himself.
well" he replied, Il would have had
a rice time, but my mother-in-law got
in the same hack with me and that
spoiled all the pleasure of the occa-
sion"
Mr.. Rayner's other story is one
which he says was told him by Presi-
dent Cleveland himself, and is vouched
for as true. He said that during Mr..
Cleveland's second administration be
received letter from man, entirely
unknown to him, asking for an sp-
pointment as consul at some southern
port in the South Of Europe and Civ
ing as his reason that his wife was in
delicate health and the doctors had re-
commended that climate for her. Mr..
Cleveland did not answer the letter
for over a year, but one day the man
received a letter from him rendering
the appointment as consul to little
place-"Spitzenburg," Mr.. Rayner
called it-away up on the northern
coast of Norway. Two days afterward
Mr.. Cleveland got this letter: Dear
Sir-Your favor received rendering
me the cousulship at Spitzenburg, on
the northern coast of Norway. You
will remember that | made application
year ago for a eOnsulship in the
southern part Of Europe, for the ben
eft of my wife's health Since that
time my believe wife has departed this
life. She has gone to heaven and you
may go to hell.

COWS were still missing in his native
village, said he guessed he was, all

but he was ever ready to give foot
passengers a lift" he rather liked
however, to be asked the favor a lit

After two or three miles had been
traversed, the youth in the sea blue

This Applies to shepherds,own, Too.

A custom altogether too common
along railroad lines in our State, sa,4
Superintendent Miller in the Wr,t
Virginia School Journal, is that Of
young people, and even children, pail-
ering at the stations at train time.
Especially in the evening, oung ladi,s
and girls of tender years congregarc
thus in large numbers, and the con-
versation they hear and they them
selves indulge in IS not of the higher
character or conducive to healthy
moral growth In fact, travellers aud
Others at the depot are often compelled
TO hear language not very proper, but
positively indecent and vulgar, and this
in many instances from young persons.
The conduct of boys and young men
often borders IN rutianism, and should
engage the attention OF the police, who
are supposed to be present to uphold
morals as well as to see that the law is
obeyed Such associations as these
will counteract all the good influences
Of the school and home, and will lerl
to wreck and ruin. Parents shoul
see that their children are not allowed
to 20 to the railroad station unattend-
ed, or to lolter aimlessly on the streets.
Such associations tend to degrad',
and to say the least, are not promotive
ofthe highest intellectual or moral =
velopment. With sadness We recall
the ruined lives OF several of our form
er pupils whose downward career be-
gan in this way. OF course this crlti
cism doesn'tapply to any who may have
legitimate business al the railroad s',-
tions, but we think the throng of on.

children more carefully.

speak word to Louise. He began to
be bit uneasy.
Late one afternoon, at the beginning
of the third week, Morton sat dIscon-
solately on the top rider of fence
that skirted the old turnpike. He
had been sitting there since noon,
vainly trying to formulate some scheme
which would bring him triumphantly
into the presence of Louise Davis long
enough for him to utter the words on
the end of his tongue.
Down the road Games cloud of dust,
and presently Louise herself, quite
alone, wheeled past in an automobile.
The next afternoon at the same time,
Morton, from the raspberry shrubs be-
side the road, saw her again speed by.
A third and fourth afternoon he wait
ed patiently among the prickly rasp-
berry bushes, and when that fourth
afternoon she went past his hiding
place Morton rushed to the telegraph
office and sent the following:
IraverS:
Send down the 20 h. p. auto.
MORTON.
Three evenings later, Just at sunset,
Louise Davis sped an automobile along
the cool pine-shaded stretches of the
turnpike. Presently mighty cough
ing and humping behind her caused
her to turn her head. There, rapidly
overhauling her, was huge red tour
ing car, and in it, grim smile on his
face, sat Philip Morton.
She turned her eyes ahead and gave
her automobile full speed, but it was
no match for the heavy touring car,
which overlook her with ease. She
looked back angrily, and by the mo-
tion of his lips she could see Morton
was shouting. Then he took from
the seat beside him huge megaphone,
and through this he shouted prOpOs-
al which could have been heard in the
next county.
The automobile ahead OF him slack
ened, then stopped. Morton.brought
his own machine to standstill, jump
ed out and ran forward.
You've won, suppose, she said,
looking away from him.
He took her hand and a moment
later the ring was slipped on.
Il knew I'd need it, he laughed
She turned her head and looked IN
to his eyes.
I'm not half as much cut up about
this as you imagine, she said softly.

Two Careers.

What has she done that men should stay
The jos,ling hurry Of their way
To seek with wonder-eager eyes
The darkened mansion where she lies.
Wha, has she done that far and wide.
Has flashed the word that she has died
Tha, folk in distant lands have said
To one another. "She IS dead"
Why should the lips of strangers raise
To her a monument of praise'
All! it was hers TO conquer fame,
She made a name.
And she who lies so Whitley still.
Untouched of JOY. unvexed of i'll.
Has she done aught? Why, surely. no;
The records of her living show
No laurels won, no glory gained.
No effort crowned; no height attained:
In life she championed no cause:
Why should the passing people pause
One little households narrow scope
Held all her heart and all her hope.
Too lowly she for fame's hiGh dome.
She made 4 Home.

What do you mean by stretching

you ought to use the hammock during
the hammock hours, and you'd have no
trouble with the flies.

inquired.
From II noon to 2 p. IN daily, he
replied. During those hours flies
will not attack you in the hammock.

tute-Other School News.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON. Ind. June 12.-The case
of the Indiana University Publishing AS
ISOLATION, which has been a topic of great
interest among students here during the
past three weeks, came up for settlement
this afternoon before H. M. Bowling, of In
dianapolis, who is sitting as arbitrator and
hearing the evidence offered by both student
factions. Two witnesses for the plaintiff,
who contends that there has been fraud in
the issuing of shares of stock in the asso-
citation, were examined this afternoon, and
a member of the faculty also was put on
the stand.
The court held session tonight, and
from the present outlook it is going to re-
quire most of tomorrow to get in all of
the evidence. Messrs. McDermott, Of An
derson. and Earl, of Lafayette, counsel
for the plaintiff, and the defense is rep
bia City, all of whom are senior law stu
dents.
The case grew out of the annual election,
which was held last month, at which one
side thought the other faction was voting
illegal shares, and the election broke up
in riot. The affair is one of the most inter-
esting that has lately come up in college
politics, and the award of the court is
looked forward to with great interest.
Word was received to-day that c. f.
Lewis a graduate student of Indiana Uni
versity. specialist in botany, has been
awarded a fellowship in Cornell. He will
go there next year.
