 This is q wholesale spread of the CO., operative idea that is of importance as a factor in college life. Aside from Joseph B. Thomas, Jr., who conceived the idea of a college exchange for sporting and other goods when manager Of the track team at Yale, the directors of the parent company have had practical experience in establishing at Yale and elsewhere the college dormitory and college dining hall systems.
 The directors believe that the college cooperative store is necessary as an ad- 5unct to the welfare of every college and large preparatory school-that the coop eratiye store Is the third question in stu dent economics, and that it will be solved rightly in spite of bitter antagonlsm that may be developed.

The great murder case which had occupied so many days of the courts more or less valuable time was at an end and the jury of women had retired to consider their verdict, which was undoubtedly hastened by the facts that the members had been kept away from the bargain counters by their duties and that on the day when the case was given into their hands particularly attractive mark-down sale was an- nounced by the morning papers.
 They had been in the jury room but few minutes when the forewoman announced that a verdict had been reached.

MORE sUPERsTITIoNs
Which Enable Travelling Men to Sell
 Big Orders.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 I have known thousands of travellers during my IT years on the road, and often have laughed at their superstitlons. am not at all superstitious myself, but I wouldn't for the world throw away the piece of petrifed potato that has brought me good luck for nearly fifteen years.
 The oldest superstition that l over en- countered was that of salesman for big underwear house. He has little contrivance inside his hat, a light wire framework with a small cup held firmly in the center, right over the top of his head.
 Whenever he strikes town he goes d. rect to the hotel, fills the cup inside his hat with water, then walks around one block with the hat on his head. If he spills even a drop of water on the top of his head he knows he will be unlucky that day. and often skips the town en- tirely. He is bald and can feel the slightest bit of water fall. But he has grown so skifful in walking without moving his head that fe seldom has bad luck. How he happened to get the idea no one knows.
 Another friend of mine who sells cor sets and wrappers always pretends that he has a terrible toothache when he goes to see a customer I often have
  madness, for several times I have seen buyers for houses grow sympathetic. be- gin to suggest remedies and get interested in the case, telling how they had teeth pulled and how 1t hurt. Also I have seen the wrapper man dose himself with laudanum and rub his gums with all sorts of things when there was nothing at all the matter with the tooth.
 There Is a whisky drummer who sells uvI through Tpxaa who has u11eer little fad He has one of his trunks fitted up with a tea outfit. alcohol lamp and all and he makes tea for himself He really is tea crank, but he uses his alcohol lamp to show customers that his whisky will burn.
 Another fellow, in the knit goods line, who makes the big towns of the central west, is one of the oldest bugs I ever met. His superstition takes the form of riding to church every morning. Just as soon he gets up he orders a cab and drives to church. It makes no difference to him whether the church is open or not If it is open he goes in and lays a small offering down. and if 1t Is closed he drops his offering into the poor box at the door. He makes no distinction as to creed or de- nomination, but goes to any church that is near, then to his work. He confessed to me that he never had attended service for eight years.
 Cold Milk Ed" Is known by half the travelling men who make the gulf states He is fiend on milk and carries a. zinclined box in one of his sample cases keeping 1t filled with bottled milk packed in ice.
 There is a fellow named Woods who has been travelling for an old concern lubricators and high refined oils-who believes that he cannot sell gods unless

pockets, and rabbits feet are seen every day.
 I know one man who changes rings after every trip and another who keeps his vest pocket full of white beans. An other gives a pair of suspenders to one small boy in each town before starting to work it, and another will not go in to talk to the head of a house until he has put a small white stone that he carries into his mouth
 Just why travelling men are more super stitious than others l don't know-but they are, and some of them with the most ludicrous notions are at the top of the business.
