Rasoom and His Students.
Under the Double Eagle March,.


John Bascom, once president of the
University of Wisconsin, always had
keen insight into men, and for much
of his life college students constituted
mankind for him. Once when he was
class officer the names of two mer
were read by him as absent from
morning prayers. One of them, pie
tist stopped at his desk and said:
Professor, when the chapel bell was
ringing l was engaged in prayer and
did not hear it,
You're not excused" responded
John, with contempt In his eye and
In his voice
Then, calling back the other man
who was about at the door on his way
out of the room, he said to him:
whats your excuser
II haven't any, sir"
you're excused
He used to have debates in his class
room. At one of them a student, whom
Bascom subsequently described as 6
''horiating fellow" In the heat of his
eloquence said, II wish that / had
the ability and the time to exhaust
this subject"
you have the time." said Bascom-

interchangeable labors of the worm
eater, we can purchase furniture of al

ton of senile decay, for a modest sum.
The worm eater is indeed public ben
efactor, one who does good by stealth
and would blush to find it fame If he
had not long ago renounced the gentle
art of blushing.
He is usually an elderly man with
slight limp, is the worm eater. In ear
ly youth he was apprenticed to job
bling house carpenter. but by sheer
ability, by pluck. grit, perseverance and
the exercise Of those qualities of body
and mind which men call genius, he
has risen above bis station and the
sphere In which he was born and now
occupies q position in the professional
world as far above that of his original
employer as Portland place is above
Pimlico. He is not however, unduly
uplifted by success. BE does not de-
sert his old master. Nay, more, upon
his talents do the finances of his en-
ployer largely depend Vainly may the
carpenter piece together fragments of
deal into the shape of a bureau; vainly
may he turn empty wooden biscuit
boxes. into cabinets. The public will
not look at his wares until the master
hand of the worm eater has been laid
upon these trumpery modern fabrics
with a mellowing touch that Is only
comparable to that of Father Time.

Along in the fourth inning Everett
cracked out a bit, and as soon as he
landed on first base Dahlen, ignoring
his usual custom, ran out to coach, and
a moment later he slipped the harmless
little reptile to Everett, who dropped it
into fuckers hip pocket.
Tommy discovered the snake just as
the pitcher was delivering the ball,
and, with a yelp, he deserted first
base. The shortstop gathered up the
ball on the run and started to throw to
second, but was too late and threw
toward first Tommy was twenty feet
off the base, jumping up and down and
hunting for something with which to
kill that snake, and the ball went to
runs in the round.
Tucker protested wildly, but the UNI
pire couldn't find anything about
snakes in the rule book and let 1t go
at that
But possibly the hardest decision an
umpire ever tackled fell to the lot of
Jack Stratton, who was umplring a
game between the Dallas (O.) team
and the club from Sycamore Valley
years ago.
The teams were playing down at
Lynn's bottom at Sycamore Valley,
and the score was 10 to II, or some
thing like that, in favor of Dallas In
the ninth inning, with two out and
the bases filed. At any rate, what
ever the score was, Sycamore Valley
needed three runs to tie and four to
win, and it happened that Butch Car
penter, one of the weakest hitters on
the team, was at bat.
One strike had been called when
Butch hft the ball. Where that ball
went no one knows to this day. All
the players were running They saw
the ball pitched and saw 1t hit. but
just as the bat hit the ball the boiler
at Hicks sawmill, about 200 yards
away, exploded

smoke and steam cleared away, the
base runners remembered and rar

A VAGUE Prescription.

is to leave a wide margin of chance,
especially if the drug be potent one
Let it be hoped that the good man
whose prescription is quoted below
was not dealing in strychnine nor prus

Highways and Byways In Sussex
by E. V. Lucas and was written by
the doctor in an English village O
century ago:

Chinese Music,

The Chinese have eight Instrument
for making their ritual music-the bell
the flute, the drum, the sonorous stone
the fife, the plume, the shield and the
ak. The last three make no music, but
are used as decoration or emblem IN
the musical ceremonies and are emu
merated as musical instruments. In
every ceremony there are always two
instruments Of each kind, sometimes
as many as four or six, never an ODD
number, In order to emphasize the
duality of the Chinese people. For In
stance, one drum announces the be-
ginning of the music, and Its mate
strikes the last note; one bell calls
and Its counterpart answers.

Queer Early coinage-D. o. Mills Is
sued First Paper Money.
Coins in California till the fall of
1856 were a queer kettle of fish. More
than 60 per cent of the silver and at
least % per cent of the gold were for
eign.
Most of the other gold coins were
private coins. Motif e. Co. got per-
NIT from the government to coin gold.
Their coinage was stamped "Mof1t &
Co"
We had all kinds of doubloons and
smaller South and Central American
coins. OF the smaller gold coins the
French twenty franc piece led all the

The English guinea was fairly repre-
scented. But it passed for only its face
value, while the other gold passed for
more The twenty franc piece, value
| 1915, went at 81.
There was a still greater discrepancy
In the silver coins. A one franc piece
went for % cents, and the East India
| rupee, value As cents, went for &c
cents; the five franc piece, 81. The
French silver represented about go PEI
cent of the silver circulation.
German silver thale1s, worth 60 cents
went at 81 Everything above 80 cents
was 81, and everything above 20 cents
was so cents. A French bank in Sar
Francisco was said to have got rict
shipping French coin In exchange FOL
gold dust United States coin was
scarcer until the mint was established
In the fall of 1856 the banks refused
to take any foreign coins except at 6
heavy discount. The result was thai
In a few months all foreign coin disap
peared. 1t proved a bonanza for the
saloon people. They would still give {
drink for a franc, while the banks gave
only 1917 cents. The saloon people
gathered them and the rupees In a
old prices and sold to the banks fol
bullion and made a good thing.
But for few years we suffered bad
ly for silver change. Even until 1885,
gold dust circulated to a considerable
extent in mining districts, but tn
scales were always used.
There was no paper money until D
o. Mills & Co. issued their gold note
about 1868. In getting change for al
