The reason they are adhering to the
society of the fair students is because
the female persuasion is in favor of
hair on the heads of the young Lo-

the trouble is all over the segregation
business, anyhow. The students who
favored no petticoats began a ruth.

dirty buck, who had a wonderful bit
of mechanism about his person, the
sight of which he was willing to hawk
for a new slungshot we had recently
purchased. For this weapon he agreed
to exhibit cute ivory case inclosed in
covering of leather. In the center
of the wonderful box glowed n living
flame, and behind 1t red strawberry
grew. He was intensely passionate in
speaking of his curiosities, and in less
than five minutes bargain was
struck. BY permission our chum was
allowed to enjoy the sight of the treas.
ures. Having wrung this much Of q
concession out Of the bargain. we
transferred our slungshot to his
charge and keeping. Then the swarthy
aborigine opened his bunghole Of
oratory, pointed at his teeth. and
grunted:
Jump! Heap big ivory box!"
Out came his tongue.
''Injun's red flame, much red!"
Then with his soiled finger he d.
rected the gaze far into his yawning
throat, to his palate:
Hump! Big strawberry! White

Having thus fulfilled his part Of the
contract he turned away, grinning at
our discontinue.
We have had dislike for the tawny

ENGLISH GRADE SCHOOLS.
Life and Habits of Pupils as Com.
 pared with American Ways.

There is said to be more yulgarity among the sturdy English lads ill the public schools than in our Amer ican schools like those at Groton, Scarborough, etc, which most re- semble them in methods, and Kip ling's "Stalky & Co.," illustrates this; but a sense of reverence and quiet, self-poised demeanor are more ap- parent. They are not so restless as our boys, says the Pilgrim, are less indulged than they, and, no matter from what homes of wealth they come, they learn early to despise the coddling and to endure hardness. In most schools temperature of 60 de- grees is considered the normal one in winter, and in one Scotch school of which I learned the boys are re- quired to take off their coats when the room becomes warmer, and are compelled to run two miles before eating breakfast, except when the snow is too deep.
 Coeducation prevails to some ex- tent in Scotland, and among the lower grades to slight degree in London, but it is unknown among the well-to-do, except in the King Alfred school, near Hampstead, not far from Kate Greenaway's red-tiled cottage. Well-paid teachers, both women and men, conduct the sports as well as classes, and the two sexes are never left alone together, al- though, unlike our schools, boys and girls unite in their hockey and other games.

WHY SHE WAS BARRED.
How Clerk Interpreted the Judges
 Illegible Hand Writing.

One of the court clerks in Brook lyn unconsciously perpetrated a joke on Justice William D. Dickey, of the New York supreme court, g short time ago which the learned justice failed to fully appreciate. A suit in which mother and daughter were disputing the possession of some property had come before him, and after hearing the facts of the case Justice Dickey indorsed on the papers this memorandum:
 "The mother is not entitled to the property and should not be al- lowed to interplead."
 The jurist's penmanship Is some times grabbed and almost illegible, and the clerk of the court, says the New York Times, made the follow ing transcription in the court jour- nal:
 "The mother is not entitled to marry and should not be allowed to interfere"

First Census Ways.

The original schedules of the first census are now contained in 26 bound volumes, preserved in the inte1iorde- partment. For the most part the headings of the schedules were writ ten in by hand. Indeed, up to and including 1920 the assistant mar shals generally used such paper as they happened to have, rulingit, writ ing in the headings, and binding the sheets together themselves. In some cases merchants account-paper was used, and now and then the sched- ules were bound inside of a newspa- per-Director w. R. Merriam's "The Evolution of Census Taking, " in Century.

DEVOTION TO DUTYa
Almost Caused Roosevelt to Miss the
 Mckinley Inauguration.

A vice president seated in solitary grandeur in the senate chamber, while the ceremony of presidential inauguration to which he has been invited as an honored guest Is going on outside, surely presents spec tacle with an element of humor in 1t. Few persons, says Francis E. Leupp, in Century, know how near Theodore Roosevelt came to playing such part on the 4th of March, 1901. The senate Stickles so for minor details of etiquette that even reformer ot MT. Roosevelt's sturdy type would hardly have yentured to transgress Is rules and they require that for maj motion to adjourn shall be put before a days session can be put to an end. After his inauguration as vice president in the senate chamber, MT. Roosevelt took the gayel, and when the routine business was fin ished directed the sergeant-at-arms, as usual, to proceed with the cere- mony of inauguraing Mir. Mckinley as president.
 It was then in order for some sem ator to move an adjournment; but in the confusion nobody seemed to have his wits about him, and the whole assemblage, including the sen- ators, quilted the chamber for the east portico, where the oath was to be administered and the address de- livered. In a few minutes the vice president found himself alone, with a fair prospect of remaining so until the days performances were over. But it chanced that Senator Heitfeld missed his hat while passing through the corridor, and came back to look for him. Face to face with the vice president it occurred to the senator that something must be wrong, so with the utmost gravity he moved 'that the senate do now adjourn" MT. Roosevelt, with equal solemnity, put the motion, declared it carried, and proceeded in MT. Heitfeld's company to the place on the presi- dential stand which had been re- served for him.

GIRLS FATAL JOKE.
She Is Now Locked Up Awaiting
 Trial for Man slaughter.

An extraordinary case will come before the courts of Montreal, Que bee, as the result of a verdict of man, slaughter returned by the coroner'J jury at an inquest held into thf death of A. Procal Fex, the six-yea4- old son of Joseph Fex, of St. Lagafe county, of Vaudreuill, near Moh- treal, who died after several months of terrible suffering and agony, sfys the Toronto Mail and Empire. The evidence showed that in June the fater, accompanied by the deceas ased, had gone to a building bee at MT AL phonse Charlebois', who residfs in the same parish. There were a great many farmers in the parish. prfsent. Some time during the day Miss Su- duda Charlebois, 20 years of age, gave the child.a red pepper to eat. The little fellow soon became E very sick and went into conyulsions. Vomiting was continuously kept up for five or six days, and after that time he was never able to swallow food. The cause of death, according to the medical testimony, was starva- ton.
 Other testimony showed that Miss Charlebois, for joke had put large quantity of pepper in the soup of one of the men who was at the bee, but he did not swallow enough of it to do serious harm.
 The coroner summed up the evi- dedce at great length. He pointed out to the jury that when death oc- CUTS as the result of an act which was not in itself intended to cause death, but merely for mischievous purposes, the perpetrator becomes criminally responsible for the death. The jury was only locked up short time, when 1t returned verdict holding Miss Sududa Charlebois criminally responsible for the death of the boy, and ordered her arrest.

WEALTH IN OLD STUMPS.
Dividends Now Paid on What Was
 Once Worse Than Valueless.

"A tar heeler' from North Caro- lima recently arrived in Georgia and has made a barrel of money out of the old pine stllmps, left from the timber that has been cut in the years gone by" said D. s. Atkinson, of Atlanta, to Washington Star man at the Normandie the othermorning. "He is buying all the stumps that the farmers deliver at his plant and is paying a good price for them, so that the farmers, too, are getting the ben eft of his enterprise. From the stumps this North Carolinian ex- tracts creosote, turpentine, tar and charcoal, and he is now experiment. ing so as to get white lead from the stumps and believes that he will be successful. These stumps have not been worth digging up except for the purpose of clearing fields for plant ing purposes, for as frewood they would hardly pay the cost of removal, but now the farmers have gone to work and will not only clear up their fields, but will secure a good price for their stumps in addition. Stump pulling machinery is now in great de- mand in that section. This machine with the aid ofamulepulls the stump, root and all, in short order, while un- der the old system the farmer had to dig it up by main force"

SENATOR COCKRELL'S APPLE
Must Be Forthcoming Every Day at
 Exactly the Same Hour.

Exactly at 1:30 o'clock each after noon Senator Cockrell eats an apple
 Senator Cockrell is regarded as the democratic watch dog" He scans closely every bill which is being con- sidered for passage and calls atten- tion to many matters which the ma jority are glad to have corrected. If he is busily engaged in watching a bill he sends to his committee room for his apple. If, however, he can leave the senate chamber as well as not, he goes to his committee room to take his refreshment of fruit
 That he gives the same careful thought to this habit that he does to matters of greater importance was illustrated one day just before the end of the session, says the Washing ton Star. He was extremely busy in the senate, but as if by instinct he kept watch of the clock until the hour of 1:30 had arrived. Then he drew forth a scratch pad and scribbled this note to the clerk: "Open the left hand top drawer of my desk and send me an apple. Not the reddest one, but the one next to that in color"

LITTLE CITIES.
Municipal Corporations with Less
 Than a Hundred Population.

Among the curious revelations of the census, says the Boston Tran script, E the fact that there are i'll the United States quite number of cities which are so ridiculously small in population as to make it a matter of wonder and amazement that they are really cities. The population of Il few such cities may be given as illus trations The city of Johnson, Kan, has a population of only 15, and the population of the city of Coronado, in the same state, is even less, being only 10. There are several cities i'll Kansas which have very diminutiye populations, as follows: Bird, S8; Brainerd, 70; Ford, 82; Freeport, S3; Horace, 90; Hugoton, 54; Richfeld, 61; Tribune, 62; Ulysses, 40. The city of Siloam Springs, Mo-, has d populationo of 98. The city of Brigan- tine, N.

LIFE AT PESHAwUR.
Characteristics of Country About the
 Ravines of Khyber.


 The rayines of the Khyber itself are at least as safe as the close alleys of Peshawur. The spirit and color of the place belong not to India, but to central Asia. Its bazars and camel market, says the London Tele- graph remind you that 1t is a point of departure from Kabul to Bokhara, as its history reminds you that the old winter capital of the Afghan court Is still stronghold of fanati- cism that has not ceased to scowl, and still longs to strike. It is now several years since the last murder of a sahib. Upon that occasion the sta tion master, a worthy man of middle age, walked up and down his plat form, unaware that Ghazi from the border was following his shadow and studying his back meditating the ex- act spot to drive at with a curved knife. At that point his life was saved by the accident which ex- changed it for another. A young British officer appeared upon the platform, and the fanatic, at the sight of victim more to his mind, dropped the station master and killed the subaltern.
 One of the features of the Pesha- wur is the tall obelisk amid the shady foliage of the mall raised to the mem ory of the British commissioner of the city, who was struck down in 1853. The unattended visitor who has walked about the bazar will con- fess, if he is candid, that 1t always gives him slight sense of satisfac- ton when he gets back to the Ed wardes gate, to have escaped the per sonal sensation of six inches of steel between the shoulders. But the whiff of danger in the air increases the fascination of tour across the most characteristic and picturesque region in Asia. From the white washed top of the Buddhist tower, called the Cor Khattri, you look across a labyrinth of timbered ia cades and khaki roofs plastered with mud. The narrow streets run be- tween houses built of small flat bricks, filling in a framework of wooden uprights and crossbeams which show in squares, and give cer- tain distant and dingy touch of Eliza bethan character to the walls. The windows are closed with sliding pam els, and when they are suddenly pushed up by yelled ladies it is like the opening of cupboard doors in tales of intrigue. High wooden rail ings surround the open galleries on the roof. Below the craftmen ply their trades and the merchants show their wares. But the chief attraction of Peshawur are the people and the traffic in its streets. Long strings of camels and mules pass through the bazars when the caravans come in from Khyber or set out for Kabul. The ferce-faced crowd, in white tur- bans and ample folds, is formed of men free of gait and savage of hand, with neither fear nor friendship in their eyes when European moves among them.
