at recent meeting of all these college de-

pressed was that the young man

tien gave as good an account of himself

that i'll many cases unusual success had
come to those who had SO struggled. This
opinion was formed by personal obserya-
tions made by those who have had charge
of obtaining employment for poor stu

But the student who is forced to work
his way through the university must be
prepared to dispense within many pleas

than $500. but in order to accomplish this

LONDON, Aug. IF any attempt
were made to estimate the vast sum
of money that is annually sunk in the

son the item for lost jewelry would
amount to substantial sum.

how careless ladies' become, especially

Many ladies, he declared, use their
jewelry like butchers, handling the
most de1ieately fashioned things as
roughly as though they were made of
cast steel, with the result that precious
stones become loosened in their settings
and fasteningS are worn and broken.
"A portion OF the jewelry that is lost
is recovered. but 1t is only small pro-
portion.

Just the other day the secretary re-

enjoying themselves is no small hardship.
There was once a coed at the University
of Minnesota, however, who was able to
have her cake and eat it, too. Her spe-
cial line of work that eked out a small
income was the shampooing and dressing
of her sister co-eds' hair. She attended
all the university hops. each time dressing
her own luxuriant locks in such a manner
that the couture was an excellent adver-
tisement of her skill in that direction :
There are at present two members of
the 'U faculty whose boast it is that
they have worked their way through col
lege, and these never fail to encourage
the hardworking students by relating
chapters from their own experience. Love
of learning inpelled our forefathers to en-
dure all manner of hardships for the priv
ilege of attending the little red school
house in the country. but the fact that
their descendants are willing to endure as
severe if not similar hardships to attend
the big universities of the land is proof
that the good red blood of the past is un-
dergeing no thinning process.

reviewing the story of the Crawford
inheritance, Mime. Humbert complained
of being suddenly taken with vio-
lent illness. The judge, however, in
sisted on proceeding with the case in

was feigned. He then went into the
details of the alleged Crawford opera
tions and their fieeting residence at
New York, whereupon Nine. Humbert
revived sufficiently to exclaim: Il

saw the bonds she claimed to have de-
posted within the famous safe, and

counted them. tell you the fortune

clare it."
Nine. Humbert persisted throughout
in her vague statements, and the in
terrOgatlon concluded without any
definite information being extracted
from her. Part of the time she was
attended by a doctor, who administer
ed restoratives.
The examination of Frederic Hum
bert (Therese's flusband) followed. He
made insinuations against the minister
of justice, M Vale, and ex-Premier
Waldeck- Rousseau. Questioned as to
the whereabouts of the Crawford mil
lions, he replied that he knew nothing
about them.
But know about Them exclaimed

The hearing was adjourned to Mon
day, the court stating that the affairs
of the famous Ronte Vfagere, the in
suranee concern which Nine. Humbert
started, and in the crash of which
thousands of poor people lost their all,
would then be examined.
