Rooster in pomisory.

College boys are the same the world
over. They appear never more happy
than when they are scheming to perpe-
trate a practical joke on one Of their
own number and often on members Of
the faculty itself The cadets at the
Wilmington Military Academy are no
exception to the rule.
Several nights ago two jokers at that
institution carried a rooster and hen to
the dormitory Of the college and set the
fowl free. Along toward o'clock in
the morning, the rooster noticing that
day was dawning Popped its wings and
with long stretched neck sent forth a
challenge TO the rooster that makes its
home several blocks away There was
no answering crow and becoming in
disnant the rooster sent forth another
blast. BY this time the occupants of
the building were fully awake. The two
cadets who perpetrated the joke were
railing over themselves In merriment.
Major Bonham, awakened with the
others and upon finding the fowl, toss
ed them both out the window. Peace
once more prevailed.

Fine Work of the Secret Service In
Running Them Down.
A secret service man tells OF an ex-
perience of his when on a difficult case
Of counterfeitiRg The district had
been flooded with bad coins and spuri-
GUS notes, and it was his duty to To-
cate the plant At last they dropped
across a newcomer who was living in
fine style. He was educated and very
reserved, and when he got any mail he
seemed quite Indifferent whether any
one saw 1t or not He would read his
notes on the way home and throw the
envelopes carelessly on the sidewalk.
Not one Of them gave the ghost of a
clew Every morning about Z o'clock
a young milkman went to the mans
house and left quart Of milk. He.
too, was a newcomer, and this set the
secret service man thinking SO he
watched. A stout cook at the kitchen
always took the can of milk and hand
ed the milkman the can he had left the
day before. The milkman, it turned
out, was the go-between. The milk
cans had false bottoms, and here Mr..
Fine Gentleman's letters were hid
den. An intercepted letter led in
quiries to a house not more than a
few blocks from police headquarters.
Sure enough, there was the engraving
and bad money plant Of which the re-
fined newcomer was the head.-Kansaa

thOr's Tool Chest.
In the gradual growth Of every stu
dents library he may or may not con-
tinue to admit literary friends and adj
visers, but he will be sure sooner or
later to send for a man with tool
chest. Sooner or later every nook and
corner will be filed with books, every
window Will be more or less darkened,
and added shelves must be devised.
He may find 1t hard to achieve just
the arrangement he wants, but he will
find it hardest Of all to meet squarely
that inevitable inquiry Of the puzzled
carpenter as he looks about him, Have
you actually read all these bOoksY
The expected reply is. ITO be sure. How
can you doubt it?" Yet If you asked
him in turn, Have you actually used
every tool in your tool chest9 you
would very likely be told: Not one
half as yet, at least this season. have
the others by me to use as l need
them" Now. If this reply can be fairly
made in a simple, well defined, dis
tinctly limited occupation like that Of
a Joiner, how much more inevitable it
is in a pursuit which covers the whole
range of thought and all the facts in

thor's tool chest. He must learn as he
grows older to take what he wants and

How Il strIken a Foreiansr.

From the London Speaker.
The news that President Roosevelt
has issued a decree awarding a pension
10 every soldier over 60 who took part
I'm the Civil War Is indeed depressing
for those who believed Mr. Roosevelt TO
be proof against the cruder tempta-
tionH OF a candidate. The Grand Army,
In which an the Civil War veterans are
enrolled is political organization
which has often made It's weight felt
before. but It has never achieved a
greater triumph than IN breaking down
the virtue of Mr.. Roosevelt. For this
extension Of a pension system, which
has for many years been recognized
as a gigantic piece OF jobhery and cor
Eruption, cannot be interpreted In any
other way than as bribe.

THE AD MANS TALK

This is strictly about The Evening
Journal.
We are in the position OF the painter
who couldn't paint all the city's houses
on one day.
We count on copy from our regular
advertisers; we try to reserve sufficient
space to meet their needs. We some-
times make mistakes but as a rule we
have succeeded fairly well in giving
our customers good positions.
To make sure Of It we are asking
them TO let us have their copy early.
II cvopy reached us at eight or nine
o'clock instead Of at ten or eleven or
twelve-or one, as sometimes happens
we could give our advertisers positions
that would delight their minds.
When all the people come at once,
part of them VIII have to take back
seats. We can arrange for front seats
for every advertiser who gets his copy
in before nine o'clock In the morning.
We have another thing to add:
The third page OF the paper is known
as the woman's page-and the real
buyers are women. Men do buy. OF
course. but the larger proportion OF
purchasers is composed Of the better
half OF the family We propose to de-
vote the woman's page to small adver-
tisements--not exceeding six inches or
SO. This will virtually give the smaller
advertisers preferred positions.
There is only one condition to this
arrangement. Advertisements intended
for this page must reach us before nine
o'clock each morning for insertion that
day.
Our whole idea in giving such wide
publicity 10 this statement--instead OF
sending II to our advertisers in the
regular way--is that the buyers them
selves may understand the situation.

our Native Owls.
From the Plttsburg planatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
We hasten to acknowledge the re-
cept OF the latest number OF the
Geological Quarterly Bulletin, which
bears the imprint OF the state printer.
Particularly diverting and educative is
the opening chapter devoted to Our
Native owls" which are described as
Those Nocturnal Birds OF Prey" A
flavor of the approaching circus sea-
son is noticeable throughout the bro
chure. and so bounding are the animal
spirits OF the compiler that in one in
stance he is suspected of initiating Mr.
Sllas Wegg and dropping into poetry.
Perhaps a new style Of printing poetry
obtains at the state Printing Office. but
mo mere adaptation OF prosaic methods
can disguise the delicacy Of poetic sem
timent and charm OF diction in this
excerpt, which is rescued from its
.unfeeling prose form and properly pre-
sented thus;-
When the shades lengthen at the wan
ing OF day,
And the Hawks can no longer see to
take their prey,
Because OF the failing light.
The owls may be seen sailing like
sprites
Through air IN their noiseless flight.
After this sailing into the empyrean
with the owls the booklet tells all about
the feathery tufts which are mistaken
FOR ears and asserts that owl feathers
are the hufaest known on birds. The
popular fallacy that owls cannot see in
daytime is utterly routed. and much
wisdom is added about owl digestion.
The glamour OF poetry enwraps the
whole dissertation and the owl poet
lrhapsodlzea. ohlivious OF owl cars and
their obnoxious occupants.

Handle Bic Checks.

IL will probably be surprising to many
citizens to learn that the local banking
institutions sometimes handle single
checks 70 the amount of nearly half a
million dollars. An Enquiry at several
banks and trust companies today brought
out the fact that a check for not more
than $4,000 causes no special comment and
dt Is not so unusual TO receive them for
about 100000. The Equitable Guamntee
and Trust Company several years ago re-
ceived a check for sii6,Ooo which was prob
ably the largest that has ever been hand
led by that institution.
On a short notice number OF Whining
ton banking houses can cash checks for
as nigh as $4,000 and nealy ali OF them
can cash a check for from $1,000 to $50. 900
most any time.
