HAIRPlNS AND HAZING.
Freshmen" in Girls College Sub
jected to Some Strange
Restrictions,

The sophomores of Barnard college,
have promulgated rules for their
younger sisters which, says the Wash
ington Times, are in these dreadful
terms:
Freshmen must not appear on the
college grounds in the company of
young men.
until after the inclass basketball game,
and then only if victorious.
Freshmen must not walk on the
grass plots or sit on the lodges of Mil
bank hall.
"The number Of hairpins to be worn
by freshmen is limited to IL, and none
OF these may be ornamental"
The penalties for breaking these in
functions are not enumerated, but are
doubtless sufficiently dire to make any
girl lose all her surplus hairpins at the
mere thought of them. 1t is not the
present purpose to descant upon the
cruelty Of %forbidding fresh girls from
Haunting their gentlemen friends in
the faces OF their elder sisters, nor do
we strenuorsly object to the wise econ
orny in parasols enforced In rule 2.
Far be it from us even to question the
.propriety of keeping the yearlings off
the grass, or their Punishment from
the delectable cud-chewing lodges of
Milbank hall; but why, why should
a freshwcnIan's hairpins be restricted
to IL, and these limited to the com
mon old variety known as the button
hook?
By the way. why can't the women's
colleges find some other term for the
first year girls than freshmen? If it
were permitted us to suggest we would
use a word that is really descriptive,
like "miss-learnings."

NOT THE BOSS AFTER ALL
Quite Common in Matrimo-
NAL Alliances.

Once upon a time a youth, who had
commenced to navigate the sea Of mat
rimony. went to his father and said
Father, who should be boss, l or my
wife?"
Then the old mar smiled and said:
Here are 100 chickens and a team oil
horses. Hitch up the horses, load the
chickens into the wagon and where.
ever you a. find a man and his wife
dwelling, stop and make inquiry as
to who is the boss. Wherever you find
a woman running things leave a chick.
en-. II you come to a place where the
man is in control, give him one of the
horses"
After 70 chickens had been disposed
of he came to a house and made the
usual inquiry, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
I'm the hos sof this ranch" said
the man.
Got to show me-"
So the wife was called, and she af-
firmed her husbands assertion.
"Take whichever horse you want
was the boys reply.
So the husband said: "Ill take the
bay" But the wife didn't like the bay
horse, and she called her husband
aside and talked to him. He returned
and said: 81 believe I'll take the gray
horse"

Let Your Face Smile.

Dan Leno, the English comedian,
who died not long ago, said: When
your face wants to slide a smile, let
it; when it doesn't want to, make it.
A merry-minded mar is a perpetual
slab OF sunshine and brlghtens UP the
~workaday world a sight more than a
circus procession or a check suit. A
sad-eyed sinner is OF no use to any
one, and a nuisance to himself"

In the city of Mexico American po'
tatoes sell for about 40 per cent. o
than Mexican potatoes. In the price
of fruits grown in both countries the
difference is still greater. Yet Mexico
has plenty of soil adapted to growing
all kinds of fruits and vegetables. and

LOVED STARS AND BARS.
An Interesting Incident in the Life
of President R~oosevelt's
Mother.

There are many still in Georgia who
sherish tender memories of the presi-
dents beautiful, ~aristocratic mother,
says the National Magazine. Through
out her girlhood she was a noted belle,
admired everywhere for her beauty. ac-
complishments, charm of manner and
strong mentality. During a visit to her
sister in Philadelphia she met Mr..
Roosevelt, who was captivated by the
lovely young southern girl, and the an
nouncement of their engagement soon
followed. Fluctuations and regrets
we're intermingled, for many deplored
her loss when the bridegroom rode out
from the north to claim his bride.
Martha Bulloch Roosevelt loved with
ardor her native state. and mourned
with anguish the sorrows that the war
between the states brought to her peo-
pie. On one occasion, after hostilities
between the north and south had be-
gun and when her northern home was
decorated for some festive occasion
with American flags, she, to show her
loyalty to the south, displayed from her
boudoir window the confederate flag,
which caused angry sentiments in the
crowd that collected in front of the
house. They demanded the remova of
the flag. She refused when told by
Mr. Roosevelt. and no persuasion from
her husband could induce her to with
draw it. So he made a speech to the
crowd, by this time a mob. told them
his wife loved the flag. as she was a
southern woman, and the mob dis
persed.
