Rigby stayed on the road. He shunne
the theater and closed his eyes to tn
racing news. But he sold goods an,
wrote regularly to the senior membe
of the firm.
"Rigby's got the trade In Pennsyl
vania by the boot straps and pulling
on 1t to beat the band" observed
Johnson to his partner one day-in
the presence OF the brown-eycd
stenographer. "He is surely trying to
make a record"
And the little stenogravher, under
cover of her typewriter desk, gave
loving pat to a fat order Rigby had
just sent In.
1t was summer before Ngby put the
question again, and fab before the

Rigby sighed resignedly
"All right. but tell me just one
thing, Belle, dear. Why die you watch
me so closely the day Johnson asked
me If there wasn't some girl l could
marry in a hurry"
"Because-because- and the

sweeping lashes now, II was 500

FIXING HIGH NOON AT SEA.
Wireless Te1eRraphy Expected Soon to
Overcome the Difficulty.

Overcome the Difficulty.
The most momentous improvement
In navigation since the invention OF
the chronometer, more than 40 years
ago, has just been foreshadowed in a
modest paragraph In the report Of the
chief of the bureau of equipment OF
the United States navy.
ut Is believed" says Chief Man.
ney, that the development Of wire.
less telegraphy will enable these (ime)
signals to be distributed over water as
well as over land, andSthat before long
land station will receive daily noon
signals from the standard observatory
clock"
! What does that mean Nothing less
than the elimination of the last ele
ment of uncertainty from the problem
of finding the position of ship at
sea. Hitherto the one weak point in
ma vigation has been the difficulty Of
carrying standard time on voyage.
Observations for local time as well
as for latitude have been exact, but
the comparison of local standard time
for obtaining the longitude has in
'olved q certain amount Of guess work.
The best chronometer is not quite in
fallible, and some allowance, which
may not be precisely right, has always
to be made for errors.
But with time signals received from
national observatory every day at
noon the mariner will know his way
over any part of the wide ocean as ac-
curately as If he were threading a
buoyed channel. The chronometer
will join the cross-staR and the astro-
labe on the junk heap OF discarded
makeshifts.
And of course a ship that can com
municate with the shore for one pur.
pose is equally In touch with the world
for any other communication It needs
to make.

COLLEGE FRANKS,
inoee OF English Students Are Worse
Than In This Country.


Than I'm This Country.
American students are hardly up to
me British standard in the playing of
college FRANKS. Not long ago on
wager a freshman OF Trinity College,
cambridge, dressed In his sisters
clothes and called on the head of the
college to complain that her brother
was being brutally ill-treated by the
college authorities. He was SO she
asserted, overworked. underfed and
cruelty logged.
The benevolent old head-a man
much more slnned against than sin.
ning-listened to these charges in help
less amazement.
But, my dear young lady" he
exclaimed.
Thereupon "she" burst into storm
Of Sobs and would not be comforted.
His protestations OF innocence only
made her" weep the more copiously.
The dear old man never had worse
quarter of an hour.
The following week he saw the
Freshman play a woman's part in a
comedy and the truth slowly dawned
upon him. Meanwhile, the Freshman
had collected the bet and spent the
money In party" which ended in
half dozen students trying to fight
the police force of Cambridge and
spending the night in Jail
The old town and gown riots,
which used to be such strenuous
feature of life in English universities,
seldom occur nowadays, but there was
one In Oxford not many years ago
which ragged for three days aud nights
uninterruptedly. Over 500 policemen
were eventually required TO restore the
peace. Houses and shops were wreck
ed and many townsman and gowns
man had to be patched up in the local
hospitals afterward.
Being an ardent politician, 1t Is nat
ural that the undergraduates should
make the college elections, which are
fought on political lines, exceedingly
lively affairs. Some OF the leading
universities return member7 of Parlia-
ment to represent them in the House
Of Commons, but they are elected by
the dons and graduates without much
fuss and excitement. The real fun Is
over the election of the chancellor, the
lord rector, or whatever the honorary
head of the university may be called.
for In that election the undergradu-
ates take a hand.
This position is sought by the great
est men in the land-men of the cal
iber of Gladstone, Salisbury, Morley
and Balfour And they are willing to
go through a most severe ordeal to
win 1t.
A great statesman who sways the
House of Commons and helps to shape
the destines of Europe goes election
eering among a mob of yelling college
boys, and they think nothing of pelt
ing him with red ochre, bluing and rot
ten eggs If he happens to be Of the
opposite political stripe. Election day
is always wild pandemonium in q
university town. Wise people stay al
home and put up the shutters.

his head, and caught a pair of brown

his long standing rule-the best jobs

GOT TEAM
Rig Stolen from Francis Riley at
Hoosick Falls.

Ex County Clerk Francis Riley of
HoOsick Falls learned Wednesday
that he was out one of the best rigs in
his liverly stable, and what made the
matter worse was the fact that it had
been gone a week before he knew it.
Just week before man arrived in
Hoosick Falls, and registered at the
American house.
He stated he wished to hire a rig for
a fishing trip and was directed to the
stable of Mr. Riley. He secured the
outfit stating he was going Petersburg
way and might be gone two or three
days. He was about so years of age,
sandy complexion, light moustache,
turning gray, short and slightly built.
He was we'll dressed, wore diamond
rings and stud, and sported a large
roll of money. At the hotel he said
he would settle his bill on his return.
1t was last week Wednesday he Sc
cured the rig, but the employees at the
stable neglected to notify Mr. Riley
that the horse had not been returned.
Wednesday of this week the clerk at
the American house inquired OF Mr.
Riley if the man had returned, and
the theft Of the rig was thus dis
closed.

PEACE IN THE CABBAGE PATCH.
SMrs. Wigs" Now Hopes to Spend
Her Old Age UntroubIed.


Her Old Age UntroubIed.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April S0.-The
female apostle of sunshine, Mrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch" who in
private life answers to the name of
Mrs. Mary Bass, was acquitted by
where she made her appearance to an
swer the charge OF throwing the con-
tents of a slop jar ON Mrs. Emily
Smith, also of Louisville.
Mrs. Smith claimed that her dress
was ruined, her pride shattered and
that her philanthropic impulses re-
Ceived a shock. In dismissing Mrs.
Bass the court said in brief:
This prosecuting witness came to
Mrs. Bass house without invitation.
The defendant has been brought into
great notoriety rs the result of liter
ary production and as q result has
been terribly annoyed. Her home has
been Invaded and the peace and quiet
Of life continually disturbed l think
that she has had great provocation,
ahu bhlllh a OuEhl W uloAAilbo hSl Va
the charge on general principles"
Mrs. Bass testimony was given in
her characteristic manner She said:
"For many months, even years, I've
been continually interrupted. Hobo
after hobo comes to my house. l order
'em down and away from my place
whenever see 'em. They come by
droves, walk around the yard, open
the doors. When they rouse me and l
come to the door to see what they
want, look upon not a single face I
know. There they stand and look at
each other in foolish way. After
awhile one will say:
"'Well, we read the book
"'Well.' will say, then If that's all
you can git and make them git"
AS she left the courtroom Mrs. Wigs
said:
Now maybe I'll be able to spend
my old age in peace and maybe my
trees II grow out where all them me
morals (souVenirs) has been pulled off,
and maybe my yard won't be full Of
strange people every Sunday, and
can move downstairs, where used to
live"

DEGENERATE |
HUSBAND
Sad Case in Court from Fair
Haven.
DEPRAVlTY DISCLOSED
Williams Took Whiskey and Gig
are ties 10 Bed with
Him.
DEPRAVITY DISCLOSED

The trial of the contested divorce
case Of Williams against Williams Of
Fair Haven, in which bill is sought
on the grounds of intolerable severity
before Rutland county court, revealed
terrible state Of degeneracy in the
family.
Mrs Williams gave graphic pic
ture OF married life of continuous
fear and unhappiness, and in her tes-
timony rated Mr. Williams little better
than a degenerate. She said he had
bottle of liquor in each OF several
rooms in their home, kept one under
the pillow at night and wore hunting
coat around the house because the
ample pockets would hold large
bottle. She said he used two gallons
of liquor at least every two weeks
and often every week She said he
used to smoke cigarettes and drink at
frequent intervals during the night,
and also told how he abused and
alarmed her. Among the witnesses ex-
amined we're Doctors ParkhHrst and
Griffin, Charles r. Allen, Oliver "A.
Proctor father of Mrs williams, CohN
stable W. A. Smith, Deputy Sheriff
John Policy and Mr. Green druggist
all of Fair Haven. The pith of their
testimony was that Williams was a
confirmed inebriate,
Mr. Williams is worth considerable
property and the question seems to be
whether this property shall be used
for the support of Mrs Williams and
her child or not. AS Mr. Williams was
found incapable of managing his own
affairs, the probate court appointed
DIR Griffin and E. D. Raymond his
guardians some time ago.
