birthplace Of Homer.

Colophon was city of ancient Ionia,
zine miles north of Ephesus, and near
the sea. 1t was said to be the birthplace
of Homer, and near it was famous
oracle of Apollo. The Greek proverb,
ITO put colophon to 1t, meaning to
end an affair handsomely, is explained
by Strabo as arising from belief that
the cavalry OF Colophon was SO excel
lent in quality that their charge was
always decisive in battle Hence arose

Relaxation Of Effort.

Conducting a business is like rolling
a huge boulder UP a, hill. The moment
you cease to push it, the moment you
take your shoulder from it and think
you will rest and take it easy, the boul-
Ger begins to crowd back upon you.
and, if you are not careful, it will
either run over and crush You, or get
away from you altogether and 60 to
the bottom with crash. It is neces-
Rary, says Orison SWEET Marden, in
Success Magazine, to be everlastingly
cushing, following up the boulder,
keeping it going, in order to get it to
tie top Of the hill. One of the great
est dangers Of early prosperity in any
line is a tendency to relax effort. Many
man ceases to grow when his salary
IS raised, or when he is advanced to a
higher position. Many a business man,
after he has built up large business,
ceases to exert himself; and the mo-
ment he pauses in his campaign OF
pushing and struggling, the moment
he begins to relax in giving his close,
personal attention, his business ceases
TO advance, and fatal dry-rot sets IN
one of the worst diseases that can
seize any individual or concern. The
raan who attempts to run a business,
large or small, must keep his fingers
constantly on its pulse, in order to
detect any rise or fall of temperature
any irregularity, or any jar in the ma
chinery. When the head of a firm is
trying to take it easy, there is usually
trouble somewhere.

 Freshmen Students.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Twenty-five po- licemen and POO students of the Chica- go College of Dental Surgery fought here following class rush." and if teen students were arrested. The DO. lice fired several shots in the air to frighten the students.
 The freshmen and the junior classes of the dental school met in their an nual class rush, and the scrimmage became so desperate that a riot call was sent to two police stations.
 When the police arrived the struggle between the students had been in progress half an hour and had blocked all the traffic in nearby streets. The students joined forces at the approach of the patrol wagons, and the police men were pelted with stones and vege- tables, while water was poured on them by students from the upper floors of the college.
 The policemen felt that they were losing ground and fired several shots. This brought the students to halt, and the policemen rushed on them with clubs.
 This treatment drove the students in all directions, but the police made ff- teen arrests. Several students were severely bruised.
