From Bridgewater, Vt, the cheerful
news comes 10 the New ON World that
the mystery Of H5u whites pink bear

When Hen arrived he was so out Of
breath that IL was a considerable time
before he could explain matters to his
wife. Mrs. White is practical woman
and she advised her spouse to put his

When, after nights rest, Hen still

thing in it, but strongly advised that the
story be kept for home use. But Hen
insisted on telling the neighbors. They
treated the man kindly, but shook their
heads and spoke to Mrs. White about
the state insane asylum at Waterbury.
Her husband might get dangerous at
any time, they told her, and urged her
to take time by the forelock and send
him away before he murdered the baby.

One Of the instructors in the me-

this week with a somewhat battered

One day last week one Of the larg-
est students in the engineering de-
partrnenl was detected while putting
up job on the professor, and the
latter, without asking for any ex-
plantations, dropped all ceremony and,
jumping on the back Of the student,
succeeded in landing several ferocious
blows before his adversary could re-
cover himself. AS the pugnacious

was unable to hold out very long

off his vocal efforts.
AS the laboratory was almost va
cant when the ARRAY took place, none
OF the few spectators interfered. When
the instructor was allowed to get up
he promptly made another attempt to
get at his assailant. This time several
of the students interfered.
It was thought that the matter had
been successfully hushed up and moth

suddenly the instructor was sum.
