it was the responsible and christian
duty of every preacher to take his
bible and hymn book in his hand and

his circuit, pray with them and talk
to them on religious subjects and try
to induce all to come out to church.

preachers don't mingle with their
people enough between preaching

them to admire and love him, as

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent. of his earnings. He must spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but a few cents, and a bottle oft in the house
often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

SEVEN STUDENTS ARE ORDER
ED TO LEAVE PURDUE .
FOR HAzING. :
VICTIM WAS FARMER YOUTH
Hazing Consisted in Shearing Stu
dents Hair and Painting
Him Green.

Lafayette, Ind, March 19.-Presi-
dent W. E. Stone, of Purdue Univer-
sity, has expelled seven students for
taking part in the hazing of stu
dent enrolled in the short course in
agriculture. The offense was grie
vons one and when the matter was
brought to the attention of the head
of the university he acted promptly
and decisively by calling the Offend
ing students to his Office and notify
ing them they must leave at once.
The haziug occurred some weeks
ago, but was rigidly investigated be-
fore action was taken. The victim
was young man fresh from a farm
and ignorant of college ways. He OBJ
tanned a room in student boarding.
and rooming-house and did not at.
tempt to mingle with the regular
course men. He studied a great deal
and incurred the wrath of the other
students because he refused to sub
nit to the petty tyrannies visited on
freshmen and short-course men.
One night messenger was sent to
his room with note, asking him to
call at the room Of another student.
He FASTENED to comply, and as he
stepped from the doorway he was
seized by several husky regular
course freshmen and hustled away
into the darkness. Here he was fore
ed to sing, dance and deliver ora
tions and otherwise amuse his cap
tors.
This proved too tame, and finally
large pair of shears was produced.
The short-course man was pinned to
the ground, and his hair was arts
tically shorn, and then trimmed with
small scissors. A bucket of green
paint was next brought into play, the
emerald pigment being put on with
great liberafity upon the shaven head
Of the captive. A whitewash brush.
was used. Then his face and neck
were artistically painted, and his
arms and breast also covered with
the stuff He was unable to offer re-
sistance, but was finally freed and al
lowed to find his way back to his
room.

ASSIGNMENTS NOT MADE

On Apr. l comes the quarterly shift
in the beats of the members Of the
Richmond Police department, but up
to this time Supt. Bailey has not
announced what the changes will be-
Under the present regulations all
members of the force will get as
signments to day duty at least for
three months in the year and by this
system the police board believes pa
trolmen will be on an equality and
none will have an advantage over an
other in the matter of day or night
service.
On January l the new rule went
into force and it came as something
of surprise to all patrolmen and to
the people in general. Beats that
had for several years been patrolled
by the same men were turned over to
other members of the force and the
shift was so general that much com.
ment was caused.
The men who had done day duty
were shifted to the night force and
now that the first of April is near al
hand the men who have been doing
day duty for three months will re-
turn to the work of guarding the
city at night, and others of the force
who have never been assigned t.
regular day duty will be given &
whack at daytime work.
The beats as they are now held
will also likely be shifted about il
accordance with the general plal
adopted. The assignments of thu
patrolmen will not be announced un
til the tirst of the month.
