COLLEGE soma pIanIaoss poxoloax,

Chicago, Dec 6.The Doxology has
been discarded at the University Of
Chicago. The faculty has agreed with
the students that college songs do more
to breed true religious and college
spirit than the chanting Of the tenets
Of Christian belief, and at all chapel
services in the junior college the col
lege song alma Mater has been sub
stituted for the Doxology. The gist
of the recommendation of the students
to the professors was that college
spirit was the aim Of the morning
chapel services.

Within the last three years the Unit
ed States has set an example in dis
armament where disarmament was
proper. BY law Cur army is fixed at
a maximum Of 100000 and minimum
of 10000 men, When there was insur-
rection In the Philippines we kept the
army at the maximum. Peace came in
the Philippines, and now our army
has been reduced to the minimum at
which it Is possible to keep 1t with due
regard to Its efficiency. We should be
able in the event Of some sudden
emergency, to put into the field one
first class army corps, which should be,
as whole, at least the equal Of any
body of troops Of like number belong
ing to any other nation.
Great progress has been made In pro.
tecting our coasts by adequate fortifi-
cations with sufficient guns. we
should, however, pay much more heed
than at present to the development Of
an extensive system Of floating mines
for use in all our more important har-
boris. These mines have been proved
to be a most formidable safeguard
against hostile fleets.

He was very badly gone in love in
deed, as may be judged by the fact
that he sat up till the wee sma' hours
and nibbled two inches off a pen in
composing the following epic:
Beautiful one with eyes so blue
Oh, how my fond heart signs for you!
Sweet spirit, listen to me now,
Hear once again my ardent vow!
There was about two feet six inches
of this soul inspiring verse, and he sent
it TO the object of his alteration, with
request that she would express an
opinion on its merits. He got it.

the cowboy element, even as the latter
had worried the respectable faction
among the early citizens of Fort Nor

The cowboys had barely become ac-

in their midst and had decided that it
might prove dangerous to shoot up

cause for dissatisfaction. Nan Bearce
took to riding in the Comet And Nan

it hurts the brain and has a deafening,

upon the Comet its owner his valet

for Hcth, after having RACED his ranch

luggage, a couple of dress suit cases
showing above the boxes, and rubber

the machine. Thatcher explained in a
casual way that he was trying some
new roads and might be gone "A week

his way with Il volley of shots. They
were bent on more serious work.
The Comet shot along the country
road. through the soft twilight and the
limpid moonlight, straight across the

the same time the Overland limited
was carrying a white faced but deter
mined girl over the same state line.
Thatcher insisted upon giving away
the bride and receiving the first kiss
after the ceremony. He said it was
due for excess baggage on the best run
the Comet had ever made. Then the
great red machine. its owner, his
chauffeur and his valet rolled back to
Fort Norton without the impressive ar

tenderfOOt, from New York, announced
that when a certain bunch of unmiti-

said groom for injury done his proper

Harvey Thatcher promptly rose in the

his horselesS vehicle was forgiven him.

Along with the writing in old school
books there is more or less drawing
The very early books sometimes have
fly leaf sketches of Indians and log
houses. The later books, says Leslie's
Monthly, have houses of more modern
sort, and you find rude drawings of
steamboats,, horses, birds, flowers, faces
and the like. Often penny or other
coin was slipped under the fly leaf and
the surface of the paper covering the
coin was rubbed with piece of lead
from the sch0olboys pocket or the
blunt end of pencil
The children had numerous methods
for defacing their schoolbooks, and
they also had certain devices for keep
ing them in good order Many of the
older books are protected by an outer
cover of sheepskin neatly folded in at
the edges and sewed in place with
homespun tow. After 1925 this outer
covering was apt to be calico, and
sometimes there were tie strings at
tached to the sides. The girls were adj
dicted TO the use of a "thumb paper"
folded and slipped in where the thumb
rested when the book was in use.
