STUDENTS LOOSE
HENS AT CONCERT

When 1t was time for the curtain to
go up Chief Fancher notified the Yale
Glee and Banjo club managers and the
theater manager that he would not al
low the concert to go on until all the
confetti and streamers were removed
and the freshmen stopped from any
further demonstrations In this respect.
These threats put damper temporar
lily on the enthusiasm Of the lively
freshmen.
After the curtain went up down
came notes from the freshmen to the
prom" girls containing Yale under
graduate heart effusions. They were
lowered from the top gallery by
strings and the prom" girls grabbed
them quickly. A large jointed doll
was lowered By some freshmen. One

fused to allow the curtain to 90 up
because Of the danger from IRE and
panic.
1t was the annual concert that open
ed the festivities Of Yale's prom"
week, and the theater was packed
with guests from New York. Boston.
Philadelphia. Washington. and the
west.
Freshmen always break loose ut
this concert, and their antics have
immensely amused the fashionable
Yale audiences. This night they start
ed in with the most vigorous kind
of roughhouse at the door of the thea
ter despite the public caution by the
faculty and the IRE department on
Gals against any unreasonable demon
stration.
When the doors of the top gallery
opened an hour before the concert
was to have commenced there was .
stampede Of two or three hundred
freshman, which paralyxed the thea
ter management and the squad Of
police on guard to preserve order.
During the wild rush for seats, a. .
result of the effort of the police and
theater attaches to strip the freshmen
of all hidden confetti. bisque dolls,
pigeons. guinea pigs. Holsters. or any
other object that could be dropped
from the top gallery to the heads Of
the prom" girls and guests in the
pit, half the freshmen got to their
seats minus half their clothing. The
cops and firemen heard the cackling
of flock of hens as some OF the
freshmen dashed through the door
and then commenced to search for
the hens long before the curtain went
up. The hens were not found.
The freshmen got into action right
after taking their seats. Down on the
hesds of the girls and their escorts
came showers Of confetti and paper
streamers. The theater was filled
with these strsamers and confetti 10
the people reached their seats only
with the greatest Inconvenience.

A very original and useful organiza.
ton for boys which is making great
headway In the Sunday schools Of
Great Britain is the Boys Life Bri-
gade.
This picture shows company OF
the brigade boys at fire drill. A tenn
porary house has been erected, and
some of the boys are shown in the
act of scaling 1t with ladders and
hacking away imaginary burning raf-
tiers. while other boys are seen carry
ing from the burning building
imaginary inmates whom they are
supposed to have rescued.
Then, in connection with the IRE
drill is the ambulance work which all
the boys are taught to do. This
means, says the Los Angeles Times.
that they will know not merely how
to rescue people from burning houses.
but also how to restore them to health
and even life, in case they have been
Injured or FRUSTRATED.
The boys wear brigade uniform
and many companies have made .
great reputation for fire drill work.
Wouldn't this organization be fine
thing for American Sunday school
boys?

Newport News. Waiter being in

young man who lives with his parents

About 4 year ago young Cross.

that an operation was necessary to re-
store the patients memory and health.
il not to save his life. The boys par.
ents were unable to bear the expense
of hospital treatment. but he was
placed in hospital as a city patient.
and there the doctors performed tho
operation. A piece of bone about
three-quarters Of an inch square was
removed from the skull. relieving the
pressure upon the brain which had
caused the patients stupor.
After the operation Cross sat up in
bed and recognized his anxious rela-
tives. His mind seems to be restored
to normal. and he is now able to tell
Just how the accident which robbed
him Of his faculties occurred.

There are few cases Of general de-

vented. There is no hidden cause for
Its presence nor is it sudden in its at
tack. Any person, who is over-worked,
or subject to any great worry or ex-
element, or undergoes some long con
tinued strain on the body, is liable to
become debilitated unless the blood is
kept pure and rich. Such unusual con-
ditions call for more nourish1nent than
