all your humping around the country
you've never met a girl you would
seriously consider marrying?'
Rigby's mind Travelled rapidly over
his list of acquaintance. He raised
his head, and caught pair of brown
eyes watching him from the desk in
the far corner of Mr.. Johnson's office.
The eyes belonged to Johnson's pri-
vate stenographer.
mo. i don't know q girl I'd care
to marry, nor girl who'd care To
marry me-"
well I'll be hangedw calculated
Mr.. Johnson.
Rigby was standing up. He had
forgotten the brown eyes by this time.
He usually forgot girls just this easily
But I'll tell you this much, Mr.
johnson. l don't propose to let little
thing like not having a wife stand
between me and that job. I'm going
to get both inside of two weeks"
Mr.. johnson, senior member of the
johnson Manufacturing Company,
chuckled. He had liked Rigby from
the hour the lad had started out in
the Pennsylvania coal territory to sell
johnson shoes, but he would not vary
his long-standing rule-the best jobs
to the married men.
Willimet, who had long held the
New York territory, was going into
business for himself and his position
was the one for which Rigby was
asking.
Charley Rigby crossed the square,
his hands thrust deeply into his peck
cts, his hat pulled over his eyes. He
was thinking about girls.
When his fathers money had been
swept away by ill-advised investments

marriage with the visionary, easy

COLLEGE FRANKS.
Those of English Students Are Worse
Than in This Country.


American students are hardly up to
the British standard in the playing Of
college pranks. Not long ago on a
wager freshman of Trinity College,
Cambridge, dressed in his sister,
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 sinned against than sin
ning-listened to these charges in help
less amazement.
But, my dear young lady" he
exclaimed.
Thereupon "she" burst into a 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 womans part in a
comedy and the truth slowly dawned
upon him. Meanwhile the Freshman
had collected the bet and spent the
money in a party" which ended in
half a 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 a 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 and nights
unintelTuptedly. Over 500 policemen
were eventually required to restore the
peace. Houses and shops We're wreck

man had to be patched up in the local
hospitals afterward.
Being an ardent politician, it 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 members 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.

opposite political stripe Election day
is always wild pandemonium in a
university town. Wise people stay at
home and put up the shutters.

FIXING HIGH NOON AT SEA.
Wireless Te1egraphy Expected Soon to

Wireless Te1egraphy Expected Soon to
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.
1T is believed" says Chief Man
ney, that the development of wire.
less telegraphy will enable these (time)
signals to be distributed over water as
well as over land, and that before long
every ship at sea, in addition to every
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 a shin AT
sea. Hitherto the one weak point in
navigation has been the difficulty of
carrying standard time on a voyage.
Observations for local time as we'll
as for latitude have been exact. but
the comparison of local standard time
for obtaining the longitude has in
'olved 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
a national observatory every day at
noon the mariner will know his way
over any part of the wide ocean as ac-
as If he were threading n
buoyed channel. The chronometer
will join the cross-staff and the astro-
labe on the junk heap of discarded
And of course a ship that can COM
municate with the shore for one DUR
pose is equally in touch with the world
for any other communication it needs
to make.
