VICTIM OF THE FAMILY.
Having Made Fortune, This Old Man Is Now Under .I
 Discipline.

Every morning at nine o'clock pre- cisely an old gentleman, walking with the aid of stout cane, enters saloon and takes a seat in corner where he is comparatively safe from observa- tion, says the New York Press. The bartender, without asking questions, carries to him a cigar and drink of whisky, and the old gentleman smokes and sips in apparent content- ment. Just before the cigar is fin ished he takes another drink. Then he walks slowly down to Riverside drive and sits in a shady spot until lunch time, when he enters a fine mansion near by and is seen no more until the following morning. ..'
 That's funny case." said the bar tender, as the old gentleman went out after his customary cigar and drinks. He's a retired banker and lives in luxury. He has a large family and they have everything they wish for. But the old man is looked upon as a sort of necessary evil about the house. He is not permitted to smoke in the house, and as for drinktng-why, any member of the family would have fit if they saw anything of an alcoholic nature on the premises.
 Now that he has made the money which supports them. they relegate the old man to the rear, and he is at that age where he hasn't spirit to rebel. So he comes in here every day and 'sneaks' his drink and smoke and goes back home contented. Amt this queer world?"

TROUBLE WHEN CALVES ARE

We had hitched one of the little buffalo calves to a cart, and were driving home behind him. We'll. he drew the cart home, distance of two miles, in good style, and the next
 morning I was very anxious to see how the pair of calves would work
 together when they were asked to pull "a load. Unfortunately, the pole for the cart was not yet ready, but so eager was I to try the team that I could not wait, particularly as had
 thought of what seemed very req sonable plan for accomplishing my ob- ject. yoked the calves together. put
 on the brides and reins, and tied one end of stout rope to the ring of the yoke. The rear end of the cart was then backed up within reach of this rope, the other end of which tied to

Yale now begins its two hundred and
 fifth year; the school dating back to 1T0o. It opened as a collegiate school.
 The first classes were held in small cottage in a Connecticut villages; last year the university enrolled, counting the school for teachers and the sum- mer school of forestry, 3,142 students.
 Yale is by no means the exclusive property of New England, she belongs to the nation. She has sent forth many frontier. scholar, as we'll as many church missionary. She we'll deserves her name Mother {. of Col leges-"in the nineteenth century 100 American college presidents were Yale graduates" Yale men moved by the call Westward Ho!" remain loyal to the east, send back Son and grandson to the old school. To be sure, with marked change of conditions in this country the char acter of the students has changed. Numbers of them to-day do not be- long to the hereditary class, the third and fourth generation at Yale college; to-day there abound at the university sons of self-made men, men that had neither time nor money for Rong years at college. Many of these Belf-made men, it is needless to men,

PADEREWsKI AND POKER.
The Great Pianist Does Not Play the Game as He Plays
 the Piano.

Chicago's foremost musician was speaking: "Paderewski is a great pianist, but he is also great poker player-a fact that very few people seem to be aware of. He's great poker player, that is, in the sense that he is immensely enthusiastic, for he certainly has no great luck at ths game, though he calls it the best sport n the world, and never misses a chance to play, in spite of the experi- ence which must have taught him by this time that he almost invariably loses.
 "I've played at the same table with him just once, but I never shall forget that evening. A Kenwood million aire had given musicale at his home, and Paderewski had presided at the piano for something like an hour; we were all of us wondering what he had been paid, I remember. Now the host is an enthusiast in the great Amer ican game and somehow Paderewski heard this Wherefore he proposed a game, and when he was told that American gentlemen never play for money with their guests, he was so keenly cut up, as we'll as so insistent, that in the end a table was formed, and somewhere along about one o'clock we began play. We stopped about daybreak, with Pader- ewski some $5,000 to the bad.
 But then it was cheap game for the musician, as our host told me later that he had received $4,0O0 for playing the piano."

brook; and not for some time there after was New Haven finally agreed upon as a permanent location, not un- til 1716, and then there was grumbling over the removal.
 At the removal a battle royal was waged between the stubborn factions; a battle of books. and one result of the fray was the loss of some 250 very valuable volumes. Another illustra- tion of the lack of unanimity among the supporters of the new school is given in the two commencement exer- cises that were held in 171S; at this, the first commencement at New Haven eight students were graduated, and over at Wethersfield minority of trus- tees, who desired to locate the school there, held exercises of their own, graduating five students. But pres ently the opposition subsided. Con- necticut boys settled down at New Haven.
 An influence tending to the estab- lishment of the institution under dis cussion was that many looked upon Harvard as too liberal, not sufficient ly orthodox. Stern Cotton Mather, son of a one-time president of liar. yard, favored the rival institution, and he persuaded the Connecticut

With this grave as a centerpiece, the patriots fenced and cleared and painted and decorated until they had made of the once neglected and forgotten wilder ness a neat and attractive burial ground. Then they cut down tree from the ad- jacent woods, trimmed and painted 1t and set 1t up as a flagstaff. Finally they hoisted old Glory on the top of this flagstaff. and the shades of the revolu- tionary heroes on the other side of the Styx regained their unwonted peace of mind. As a finishing touch 10 their work the patriots placed a small Ameri- gan flag on each of the tiny headstones. and concluded their efforts with serv- Ice of song.
 If you ask any of the residents of New Town where the burial place is. the chances are that he will tell you he never heard of it. And yet 1t is within few minutes of the picturesque old place at which Washington made his headquar- ters during the Trenton campaign. To reach the spot 1t Is necessary to cross a field in which the wheat Is waist high, or by following the river bank and fore ing a path through the wilderness of trees and shrubbery it can be reached from that side Were it not for the fiAg that floats proudly ln the breeze on this historic spot persons who visit the neiEhbOrhOod to see the little burial place would be unable to find it without a long search Once there. thevisitor is tempted to sit for hours enjoying the sylvan beauty Of the scene Through the trees that fringe the bank of the Del aware glimpsss of that placid river can bs seen All around are smiling farm lands Not a house is visible from the srot. and 10 sounds can be heard but the songs of birds ard the signing of the breeze through the trsetop&

ton, built their fortunes in the west and there dwell, but they, too. send their sons east to the famous old school-Yale belongs to the Pacific coast as well as to New Haven, Conn.
 Yale for long has been marked as keep ing in close touch with the country, and for vigorous democracy. In a sense Yale may be called a national university. Let us go back to it's founding, trace, with what time we have, its successive periods as col legiate school, college and university.
 New Haven's first settlers t1633) had planned a college as part of their requirements, but Massachusetts ob- dected to this on the ground that the population of the colonies was not equal to the support of the college established at Cambridge-Harvard was founded in 1636. This objection being valid, for 60 years the people

the graves intact. This was many years ago, and the spasmodic attempt to care for the little burial ground did not last long The graves were again neglected and the place became wilderness. Re- gently, however, says the New York Tribune, the Patriotic Sons of America decided that the historic spots in New Jersey and Pennsylvania ought to en- gage their earnest attention, and the burial ground in Bucks county was one of the first to attract them. It was not easy to find the spot where the graves were buried beneath the wild grass and shrubbery. At the nearest town, New Town, the residents knew nothing about the burial ground, a mile and half away. With great difficulty the place was located, and the single headstone which bore an inscription raised from It's recumbent position and placed in the center of the group of smaller stones. Around this headstone. after the inscrip- ton had been gone over in white paint, a fence was built. The headstone bears the following inscription.

RESCUED FROM OBLIVION.
The Graves of the Men Killed in Battle of Trenton Finally
 Cared For.

If sorrow comes to those in the sunny land on the other side of the Styx then the shades of the revolutionary heroes must have been saddened for many years past by the neglect of the nation to care for the last resting place of the men who fell in the fight at Trenton, when Wash ington crossed the Delaware and fell on the unsuspecting Hessians. On the bank of the river near the spot where the his- torical crossing was made nearly hun dred dead were buried in soldiers graves when the victorious colonials returned to the Pennsylvania side of the Della ware. The graves were marked with small slabs of stone taken from one Of the quarries in the vicinity, and the army passed on, to fight and win once more As years rolled on the little group of graves on the bank of the Della ware was forgotten. The spot is lone ly one on the edge of wheat field, far from the beaten track of travel, and no one was likely to pass that way but an occasional hunter or fisherman As the trees grew bigger and the grass and weeds more wild, the modest little slabs of stone were hidden from view entirely, and there was danger that the burial ground of the patriotic dead would be forgotten entirely and the brown head pieces be taken for the ordinary encum- brances of the land and hurled into the Delaware by some thoughtless tiller of the soil.
 To the credit of Bucks county be itre- corded that some patriot recalled that thedead soldiers were buried on the spot, and feeble effort was made to preserve
