The Fruit of an.ldea.


A man who had an idea in all save that
was poor,
I've heard it said his sustenance he
begged from door to door,
That novels housed him, rags he wore,
and often he appeared
With shoeless feet, with unkempt locks
and haggy growth of beard.
Yet still he kept his idea forever to tbs
fore.
And when twas scorned by other folk he
cherished 1t the more.
1.-The thing itself's impractical" they told
him, very frank,
And you're Wisconsin, they vowed
some even said "a crank
The man who had an idea spoke no de-
Tending word,
He let them think whateer they pleased,
but went on undeterred.
"A prophets worth at home,' he thought.

One time a carpenter was scorned, a

AS days went by with purpose firm and
courage strong and true

kubus Of sumatra Never Talk With

There is a very singular race OF
people In Sumatra, the Kubus, who
are too timorous and shy to mix with
the other races of the island, and
dwell in the recesses OF the forests.
They are looked on as interiors by
the Malays, and thought to be little
better than beasts. Such is their shy
ness that they will never willingl,
face a stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans il
consequently carried on in a strange
manner. The trader announces his
arrival by beating gong. and he then
retires. The Kubus approach, put their
forest treasures ON the ground, beat
gong, and retreat.
The trader returns, and lays his
commodities down In quantities suffi.
cient, as he thinks, for the purchase
Of the goods on sale. Then he retires,
and the Kubus reappear and consider
the bargain.
And SO, after more Withdrawals and

the buildings at Stanford. There was

were saved from the destruction that
was supposed to have befallen the
structure that housed them. This is all
foolish. Not a painting was damaged

To prevent the circulation of such
reports is stated by President Jordan
as the reason for barring sight-seers
from the grounds. No one is allowed
to pass the guards without a pass from
the business Office or a permit from
President Jordan. Students stand guard

man who had been annoying her for a
fortnight and who finally attempted to
force an entrance to her home at Bal

wealthy logger and is away most of
the time.
Realizing that the police may not
capture her unbidden guest, Mrs
Houghton fears that the fellow may re-
turn to do her harm. and she declares:
Il will shoot him good next time"
If he is arrested the plucky young
woman will prosecute him. She wants
satisfaction for the two weeks of ter
