1t Was So Sudden, Too.

The German professor had not been
in this country very long. and his
knowledge Of English. was still some
what shaky. He vas anxious to learn,
however, and never used German in
speaking to the students if he could
think of the English equivalent. He
was young and handsome, and as all
the students were young women, he
was universally adored. AS he was
hurrying to recitation n day he
bumped violently into a young woman
who was rushing in the other direction
to another recitation. Stopping and
taking off his hat, he murmured:
"Oh, promise me-"
And the maiden, blushing rosy red,
said she would.-Hew York Press.

A Dog.

"The kinship of living things as
scientists phrase it. seems to explain
why it is that there are animals which
pursue the tactics of confidence men,
A Hartford butcher has found such a
one. A patron. he tells the Post, "a
a collie that came to the butcher n
morning with q slip Of paper in his
mouth.
Hello, doggy" said I. and the collie
wagged his tail and dropped the paper
on the floor at my feet. l opened II.
It was a signed order from his master
for a piece Of sausage. 1 gave the dog
the sausage. He ate it and vent
home.
Time after time the collie came with
these orders to me,and finally 1 stopped
reading them. Each, 1 presumed, was
for a sausage, and each procured a
sausage. I suppose, all told. the dog
got as many as twenty pounds of sau-
sages from me in two months.
But the master, when I presented nv
bill, objected. He said he had only
given the dog about a dozen orders.
whereas I must have honored nearly.
a hundred.
Well, the upshot was that the two OF
us got together and did a little detec-
tive work. We watched the dog. We
found that whenever 4 sausage hunger
seized him he would hunt until he
found a piece of white ~paper-any
piece he could Finland bring it to
me.
1 had been careless. you see. never
looking at the paper. and through my
carelessness the collie had fooled me
for two months.-Youth's Companion.

epoch IN its career. All who spoke at the instaa-

is that endowment may be raised which will
enable the faculty TO enlarge the curriculum and

a way to realize the wish may come sooner than
