HIS REFERENCE TO SIGNS FATAL.-A
favorite prank among Dartmouth stu
dents thirty years ago was the shift
ing of storekeepers' signs, so that for
example, the college treasurer would
find a BARRIERS sign over his door, the
druggist would find blacksmith's sign,
and so on, says the Boston Herald. A
current tradition tells Of how sopho-
mores attempted to remove a sign one
night in the late '70's awoke the
owner, who Immediately gave chase.
The boys escaped. but the offended
owner spotted" their room and the
next morning reported them to Presi-
dent Smith, who at once summoned
the culprits to his office where the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued:
where were you at IL o'clock last
night? ?" inquired the president Of one.
"In my ROOM" was the quick re-
ply.
What doing?"
Reading the Bible"
What portion Of the Bible were
you reading at such an hour?"
II don't recollect the chapter"
Cant you tell what 1t was about?''
persisted the president; ut must have
been something interesting to keep
you up so late"
"An I recollect Is one verse" the
student replied. "A wicked and per-
verse generation shall seek after a
sign. but no sign shall be given it,
and he was suspended for three
months.

DEAR LITTLE BoY.-Archbishop Ryan
at a dinner that was given In his hon
or In Philadelphia, declares the Buffalo
Enquirer. said, anent, man who had
bought salted mine: .
"The gentleman's disappointment on
discovery of the salt must have been
great. It resembles q little, perhaps,
the emotion Of q certain Frankfort
man.
This man had small nephew, of
whom he was very fond. One night,
in evening dress, he called at the
youngsters house. and taking him on
his knee, gave a demonstration Of an
opera hats mechanism. First he
would crush his tall black into pan
cake. Then, with loud report, he
would spring it back into its proper
shape again.
"The little fellow was amused. He
took the hat. He. too, found he could
crush it and open it again with ease.
He played with 1t for half an hour.
He had a good time. The episode made
an impression on him.
1.-THE uncle called the next month
on a Sunday afternoon. This time he
wore q 'frock coat and silk hat. He
placed the silk hat on a table in the
hall, entered the parlor and began to
converse with his brother. ..
"An hour passed. Then the little
nephew entered with something black
and shapeless in his hand.
"'Unole,' he said, this hat Is harder
than your other one. I've had to sit
on 1t, but 1 can't get 1t more'n half
shut"

WHY His NOSE WAS RED.-The late
Mr.. Duffey Of Keene, N. H., according
to the Boston Herald, had a very red
nose. despite that he was noted in his
town as a total abstainer. both by pro-
fession and practice.
On one occasion, when he was on
business in a liquor saloon in his
neighborhood, a drummer came in to
sell cigars. To gain the good graces
Of the bartender he invited all in the
place to drink. to which invitation all
readily responded save DR.. Duffy.
The drummer went to him and. slap
ping him on the shoulder. said: Il say
old man, what are you going to have?'
II thank you, sir-r. but l never
drink" was Duffy's quiet reply.
What! You never drink" the
drummer responded with a sarcastic
laugh. Now. II you never drink,
will you please tell us what makes
that nose Of yours so red?'
The impertinence of the questioner
at once aroused the irascibility of
the old gentlemen. and he replied:
"Sir-r, 1t is glowing with proid be-
cause 1t is kept out NV other peoples
business"

THY WILL BE DONE.

Not in dumb resignation we lift our
hands on high:
Not like the nerveless fatalist, content
to do and die.
Our faith springs, like the eagles, who
scars to meet the sun,
And cries exulting unto thee, "Oh!
Lord, thy will be done"
When tyrant feet are trampling upon
the common veal.
Thou dost not bid us bend and writhe
beneath the irol heel.
In thy name we claim our right by
sword or tongue or pen
And even the headsman's ak may flash
thy message unto men.
Thy will! It bids the weak be strong;
1t bids the strong be just;
No lips to fawn, no hand to beg, no
brow to seek the dust.
Whenever man oppresses men beneath
the liberal sun,
Oh! Lord, be there; thine arm made
bare, thy righteous will be done.

Hiaher Here Than Those Abroad, or
the Average Ashore.
The variety of methods whereby pet
ty officers and men in the various ma
vies Of the world are compensated rem
ders difficult any exact comparison OF
their remuneration. The average cost
of maintenance of enlisted men in the
various navies Is regarded, however, as
fair criterion of the financial treat
ment afforded them. Under the head
Of maintenance is included pay, cloth
ing, food and allowances, but even af-
ter including these there is no way In
which the increased pay for length of
service, the prospects Of pension az
ter a given period OF service and the
education which enables the enlisted
men Of the navy to command increased
pay in other occupations when their
terms Of service have expired can be
expressed in dollars and cents.
Taking only the cost Of maintenance,
the English Naval and Military Rec
ord, of October l, 1901, makes the fol-
lowing showing:

man:

compulsory enlistment, short term SER
vice with certain prescribed periods In
the reserve with pay. varying In
amount according to country and cir
cumstances.
Some estimate Of the pay received
by men and petty officers in the Amer
lean navy can be based on the pay roll
of single battle ship. The Maryland
for instance, one Of the latest battle
ships to go into commission, has 73l
enlisted men. Of whom 25 per cent are
petty officers. The lowest wage paid
is $19 a month and. the highest Is
$75.47. Seven receive more than $7b
month: II more than $40 and less than
SIS; 4 more than $50 and less than $40;
25 more than $50 and less than $50; SO
more than $40 and less than $50; 1S4
more than $50 and less than $40 and
139 more than S25 a month. No for

and died within year, pitiful wreck.
The trouble was that none Of Us had
ever for one instant had the patients
will with US The drug had destroyed
her moral nature.
MY reputation In this case brought
me two others Of the same kind In
succession. The next was young So
ciety fellow, one Of the most attrac-
tive men I ever saw.
1.-THE popularity Of his case was
that his condition was apparently per-
fectly normal. He would sing and
play delightfully."-, entertain a house full
of guests. He was the pet Of the fam
lily, with the sunniest, sweetest dispo-
sition possible. ...t-
"And yet he had pawned all his sis
ters and his mothers jewelry. had
hardly entered the house before he
took my watch away to be mended,
In the politest manner possible-and
pawned 1t.
HE would buy box Of expensive
shirts and take them directly to a
pawnshop. He had carried off clocks
and bric-a-brac to pawn. II he hadn't
been watched he would have pawned
the entire contents Of the house.
"And he would get away alone and
drink exactly like the first one, and
his brothers would have to trace him
down among the Bowery dives. And
yet with 1t all he was so normal. and
80 charming between times that he
would fool everyone.
"At times partial realization of
his condition would come over him,
and he would cry like q child. From
| first to last there were sixteen doctors
on that case, and It ended in nervous
breakdown, hystero-epilepsy and
death.
my third fiend was a handsome
middle-ag matron who had been a
good wife and mother and splendid
housekeeper. Her family adored her.
Here again was a big houseful Of SER
wants, and she had been sending them
to get the stuff for her. Or she would
go to the Turkish baths and bribe the
attendants to go out and get 1t for
her. .s.
"Her mania was not pawning, but
getting things on q credit Her hus-
band had an account at q store and
she had almost ruined him before he
found out what she was about.
Great heaps and piles Of stuff she
would buy which she never even at
tempted to use. He stopped the ac-
count there, and then she went and
opened accounts at other stores. He
followed her to each and stopped 1t
and then she would go and have furi-
Gus rows with the managers over 1t
All Of which was totally foreign to hei
normal nature.
"The poor man was nearly dead with
the shame and anxiety Of it. 1t turn
ed him gray in a very short space oi
time.
I'VE played the same game In hel
case as we did In the first one. The
difference was that when, by reducing
the solution, we had got her to q
point where she could listen to rea-
son, we laid the whole matter before
her and told her 'she could never be
cured unless she would go to place
where 1t was impossible to get the
drug. ss.ss

MISTAKES ATTRACT ArTENTIoN.-The
average person takes pleasure in call
ing attention to errors in spelling or
grammar in signs. The mistakes fur
nish them a temptation to display their
knowledge that Is hard to resist.

At a Kansas City theatre there used
to be an advertising curtain which bore
the word versus" spelled verses"
The word attracted more comment
than many of the acts did. 1t made
people talk about the theatre, and In
the theatrical business to get the pub
lie to talking about things is the first
step toward money making. So many
people began to bother the house man
ager about the misspelled word, how
ever, that he finally had to have 1t
changed.-Kansas City Times.
