After the exercises at Turner
Hall the Turner's formed in

larger crowd of spectators was

HandshakIns at Oxford.

The Oxonian never shakes hands
after the introduction. unless it be an
occasion for congratulation or the
return to college after a vacation. I
made the blunder of shaking hands
with our dean as l was leaving his
house after tea one day. He said it
was all right, of course. but they new
er did that sort of thing here in OK
ford, so he told me. just as his dean
had once told him, people didn't be-
lieve in disturbing their serenity
enough to go to such unnecessary exer.
tion. SO l had to carry my hands in
my pockets until got used to the new
rule.-Portland Oregonian.

Plain TAX That Had Effect.

a few years ago there lived in
Lowell, Mass, an eccentric minister
named Neale, who was famous for his
plain talking. On one occasion he was
preaching missionary sermons at a
village so noted for its small collec.
tlons that he determined to pass the
plate himself.
On his round he came to a farmer
who was, as Mr.. Neale well knew. the
richest man in the place. This indi-
vidual placed a nickel on tile plate
Mr.. Neale stopped Immediately and
said, in loud voice: Take your
nickel out, man: take it outl Don't
you see you've covered up your la
borer's dime?"
The rebuke was effectual, and a
much more valuable coin was placed
on the plate.

When the thin woman in the long
