good turn when / was in a sort Of
scrape with the local authorities. He
was nice little chap altho he had
about as much business ability as q

liked him, too, and, as we needed an
other white man in the outfit, we final

funny part of it was that he didn't
seem to care two cents about. the

The article is illustrated with four large cuts and portrait of MT. Goodyear. Among the news articles is one relating to the Iroquois Theater fire in Chicago, which gives some details of Yale's part in the catastrophe and the names of the Yale families affected. A critical review Iof the intercollegiate chess tournament in New York during the holidays, writ ten by chess expert, is included in this issue together with much other matter of general interest.
 The Weekly was published through out the vacation without interruption, two numbers having appeared while col lege was closed. The first of these con- tained a very unusual speech delivered by Amos Parker Wilder at the New York dinner in December. It is one of the best Yale speeches that has been made in years and is given verbatim in the Weekly. in this issue, too, is a graphic description of the Yale German clubs "Foundation Feast held on De- cember 17, and a letter from a recent graduate regarding the restoration of South Middle, in which he says: Not a cent for restoration, but millions to let webll enough alone" The new sub- scriptions to the restoration fund are also printed and the total amaunt of subscriptions up to date given.
 In the second of the holiday issues is an account of the formation of Yale alumni association in China and half page illustration of the chief members of the association, Chinese and Ameri- can. Among the articles of especial in terest is one on the curiosities of Yale funds, which deals with the peculiar conditions attached to some of the be- quests made to the university.

ANOTHER BEAR STORY.
How Bruin Went Down the Mountain
 in a Snowslide

How Brnin Went Down the Mountain
 in a Snowslide.
 T was once caught among the nouns tains of Nevada by the sudden closing in of winter,'' said the old prospector, and the only thing could do was tog hang on and wait for a break to let ma go out.
 T did not suffer from either cold or hunger. but I was given considerable worry by a silver-tipped bear who was proWling around my hut every night, and itching to make a meal of me. The snow fell four feet deep and hung on for two weeks.
 .'Then there came a Chinook wind and thaw. was standing in the cabin door one afternoon, when saw the bear lodging around on the mountain side just above me. He saw me plainly enough, and his plan was to sneak down and take me by surprise
 While I watched bruin he lessened the distance by several hundred feet, making from boulder to boulder, and was about to surprise him with a bullet from my rifle, when something happen- ed. He started snowslide and began to come down with it. He tried his best to claw out of it, but down he came, 10000 tons of snow ahead and along with him.
 The slide missed my cabin by about 100 feet, and went whizzing down into the valley, to form a mass thirty feet thick. The bear and looked each oth- CT in the eye as he passed and that's the nub of my story, if there is any nuh to it. He couldn't speak, of course, butt, he could look, and the look on his face plainly said:
 Old man, if you'll get me out of this- I'll never be bad again.
 'Durn your hide, but wouldn't trust one of your kind ten feet away
 That was what I meant, anyhow, and he shut his eyes, uttered groan of Z despair, and took fall over a bank and was buried so deep that he couldn't have dug out his way in a year."-- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

and the law school was Dean Wayland.
 He was to all practical purposes its founder, and he was vertically it's de- veloper, its head and it's untiring cham pion.
 Dr. Wayland was born in Boston, August 23, 1926. He was a son of Presi- dent Francis Wayland, of Brown uni- |versity- He was graduated from Brown university in 1S46. He took his M. A. degree from Yale in 1872, and the degree lof LL.D- was conferred on him by the University of Rochester and Brown university. He studied law in the Har-
 yard Law school and began law prac- tice in 1850 in Worcester, Mass. rernov- ing in 1858 to New Haven. He was judge of probate in 1864-65, and lieu tenant governor of Connecticut in 1869. In 1872 he became professor in the law school of Yale.
 Dean Wayland found time to be pres Iident of the board of directors of the Connecticut State Prison association,
 of the Organized Charities of this city, and of the Connecticut General hospital, president of the American Baptist
 union, vice president of the American Baptist Missionary union, president of the board of visitors of the United States Military academy at West Point, and vice president of the board of visitors at the United States Naval academy, Annapolis. In 1880 he was elected president of the American So- cial Science association, an organiza- tion he was instrumental in forming land in which he displayed vital in- terest till the very week of his fatal illness, expressing an expectation only two weeks ago to it's general secretary,
 Frederick s. Root of this ciiy, to go to
 Boston next spring and attend the an nual convention there. For years Dean
 Wayland has been chairman of the jur- |isprudence department of the associa-
 tion.
 In 1873 Rochester university gave him
 the degree of Doctor of Laws and in
 1881 Brown university honored him
 with the same degree. Valuable con-
