COLLEGES EARLY HISTORY.
The history OF FRANKLIN college dates
back almost seventy years. 1t had Its
birth In the thought and purpose of the
Baptist Educational Society, which was
organized in indianapolis, June 8. 1884. Like
most OF the older UNCONVENTIONAL colleges,
its earlier history was marked by struggle,
hardship and sacrifice. 1t was first called
the Indiana Baptist Manual Labor Insti-
tute. and was housed in a small frame
building erected at cost Of $3.50 on the
present campus. So meagre were the finan-
cial resources at that time that il was
impossible TO pledge 10 any teacher a def
mite salary OF respectable proportions with
any certainty of fulfilling the pledge. Ac-
cordingly, il was difficult to secure teach
ers. However, some capable and compe-
tent pedagogues were finally prevailed upon
10 undertake the task for a brief period.
namely: Rev. Mr.. Hinkley. Rev A. +. Til
ton and William Robinson aud sister, Miss
Julia. Under the regime OF Mr.. and Miss
Robinson. the institution opened it's doors
10 young men and young women on equal
terms. thus securing 10 itself the distinc-
ton OF being the pioneer of co-education in
Indiana
In 1874 the school was chartered by the
Legislature as Franklin College. At this
time the Rev George g.. Chandler became
president, continuing in that office about
eight years. He was succeeded in 1852 by

Progress Of the PosteE.

In England, up to 1870, no pictorial
effort had appeared that would not
have made an artist writhe in agony
of spirit. When, in 1871, Frederick
Walker designed poster in black and
white, advertising Wilkie Collins new
book, ''The Woman In White" so much
attention was attracted by it that peo-
pie began for the first time to grasp
the Importance of artistic beauty and
originality as applied to commercial
purposes. Walter Crane followed, ad-
vertising the promenade concert in
Covent Garden, the French Hippodrome
and certain champagnes by series of
colored posters which amazed and de-
lighted the public.
But the real home of the art poster
is France and it's real creator Cheret.
When the rarely effective designs of
this artist first appeared the people of
Paris snatched them from the bill
boards or wherever else they startled
the eye with their destinations until
the authorities were compelled to call
the making off with Cheret poster a
crime.-Mahin's Magazine.

Indixldua1itx of Birds.

In studying different birds of the
same species individual traits are con-
stantly seen and expressed in strong re-
lief. The greatest differences seem to
lie In the relative development Of their
sense of fear. In one wren family the
male never fed the young, and the fe-
male never became very tame What
different state of affairs was found at
another wren's nest studied earlier in
the summer! After the removal of this
nest it was fully forty-five minutes be-
fore the young got morsel to eat, but
after the first visit the victory was
won, and the hen, if not the cock, bird
became very tame. During the pre-
iminary interval of suspense the male
sang cheerfully, but the female was at
the nest and stump many times before
venturing inside. Five minutes after
her timidity had been finally overcome
the male was also on the stump, where
he Sat with dropping wings and gave
his alarm; thence he few to tree,
then to the ridgepole of the tent, where
he sang merrily, while the young were
fed by his mate. The male sang all
the morning until noon and, after 81
lence, began again at 2 O'clock. On the
contrary, at the first nest the male
was never seen and seldom, If ever,
heard. The timidity of the female was
never completely overcome.-Century.

ded. AT that moment something hap
! pened. With u roar and crash like
thunder and lightning a few of the
logs struck one end Of the bridge, and
it went down. Duryea turned pale.
He was impulsive. He was muscular
and agile. And as result in no time
he had sprinted toward the other end
and stood on terra firma. The girl was
too dazed to move. The second edition
Of logs hurled itself against the bridge.
The middle of the bridge went down.
On the shore two men watched The
girl had disappeared.
One man cast himself upon the
ground and cried aloud in frenzy. He
was muscular chap. His name was
Duryea. The other stood watching and
thinking. He thought twice before he
acted Suddenly he caught a glimpse
of a pale face and few tresses Of
golden hair still untouched by the
flood.
Then he did queer thing. He dart
ed down the side of the stream for
hundred yards until he caught up with
this pale face and golden hair. When
he was even with it he leaped far out
into the stream and worked his way
through the muddy torrent and over
the impetuous logs to the place where
he had seen the face of the girl he
loved. The flood had claimed her for
an instant, but as her face again ap-
peared Andrews claimed her from the
flood. And then the fight began. It
was the forest and the stream, both
raging mad, against one man and the
girl he held within his arms.
BY this time crowd lined the shore.
Andrews never knew what he did or
how he did it His iron muscles wres-
tied and fought and buffeted with
odds that he had never met before. He
fought like wild man-fought to re-
gain the shore, fought to regain life for
the girl and for himself. Suddenly
there was a shout. Some one had
thrown a rope. Andrews caught it.
Then the crowd held its breath. Then
of sudden there was mighty shout
There was one man that did not hear
it. 1t was Andrews-Andrews, who
had staggered up out of the torrent,
out of the jaws Of death, with his
bride to be-Andrews, man with a
broken arm and broken thigh. Slow
ly he opened his eyes and looked at the
girl who bent over him. MY name is
Ivanhoe," he groaned, with a weary
smile.

A story of Lady Beacon.t,eld.

A story indicating the great affection
and intense admiration which Lady
Beaconsield entertained for her hus-
band is told as follows: On a certain
day when Lord Beaconsfeld, then Mr..
Disraei, had to make an important
speech he and his wife drove to the
house together. Arrived at their desti-
nation, he alighted from the carriage
and shut the door with a bang. He
stayed some minutes talking to his
wife through the carriage window be-
fore he bade her farewell and entered
the house. 1t was late at night when
he arrived home, but he found his wife
waiting for him. He noticed, however.
that her left hand was swathed in
bandages. On inquiring the cause Of
this he learned that when he left her
he had shut her hand in the carriage
door, and, though she suffered terrible
pain, she had allowed no trace of it to
appear on her face. knowing that If
she did her husband would lose that
self composure which is necessary to
the delivery of q good speech.

He had quite forgotten Jerry, though
when she had first spoken he had
thought of Jerry as promising young

There was new light in his eyes, a
stronger ring in his voice.
"Of course you may. Jerry is all
right, and-well, there is no telling:

Then he kissed her, grayely and ten
