1t is contended by some local sci
entists that Captain Kidd must have
made a voyage inland, and buried part
of his treasures on the university cam
pus. At any rate, a member of Com.
ipany B found a %five-dollar gold piece
of the antique pattern bearing the in
scription, In God We Trust" while
building intrenchments behind the
gymnasium. AS a result OF this DC
c%urrence, and the theory advanced in
explanation of it, many cadets have
been found digging in the earth at the

Hubert Henry Davies, the play
wright, who has spent much time in
London, tells of an amusing interview
between the owner of a publication in
the British capital, whereof George
Bernard Shaw had been the dramatic
critic, and Max Beerbohm. on the oc'
casion of the latter's assumption OF
the duties laid down by G. B. s.
The owner advised Max Of the sal
airy that had been paid George
Bernard, observing at the same time:
Being comparatively inexperienced,
you, Mr.. Beerbohm, cannot, of course,
expect so much"
"Oh, yes, l SHALL" hastily interposed
Max. Indeed, l shall expect more!
Shaw knows the drama so thoroughly
that it is an easy matter for him to
write of it, whereas l, knowing moth
ing whatever about it, shall find it
dreadfully hard work!"-Harper'
Weekly.

Wanted the PainkilIer.

Whenever two-year-old Rutland
bumped his inquisitive head or bruised
his adventurous body bottle of some
good old-fashioned lotion was brought
out and some of its soothing contents
applied to the injured part. Recently
Rutland received his first spanking, an
experience which was to him totally
new, strange and mystifying. About
all he understood of it was that it
hurt and Immediately after being al
lowed to wriggle off of the maternal
knee he toddled toward the shelf on
which stood his old friend, the bottle,
and with hands upraised cried implor-
ingly:

WORSE BATHS THAN OURS.
Traveller Tells Of at Least Two In His
Experience.

In the modern fiat isn't the worst thing
you can get up against in the way Of
ablutionary contrivances," remarked
a fiat dweller to a friend.
We'll, II you know, of anything
worse" said the other, a man Of more
than six feet of perpendicular bulk,

Those were my own sentiments, {"
continued the New Yorker, until we
had occasion to entertain my wife's
brother in our apartment last week.
He's a jolly big Englishman, who's
Travelled lot, and, like most of his
countrymen, is devoted to his matuti-
nal tub. Almost before he was inside
the door my wife began to apologize
for the size of our bathroom, when, to
our establishment, her brother burst
into an uproarious laugh.
My dear girl, don't apologize, you
know he explained to her. I fancy
you don't know what difficulty had
in taking my tub in South Africa this
summer. 1t was beastly inconvenient.
You see, my Kaf1r boy knew all about
1t, and got me barrel which mad
been cut in half and hole bored in
one end. l knew l couldn't possibly
tub in that, and demonstrated with
him, only to see him plug up the hole
with a cork and fill the barrel with
water. Then, by means of a pulley,
while ! stood by in my bathrobe, he
hoisted it to the branch of a tree and
directed me to stand beneath it. See
ing no alternative, l did so, and he
pulled out the cork. Oh, yes, the
stream pours on a solitary spot Of
ones blessed anatomy, but it's better
than washing in a couple of bottles
of Apollinaris, as / had to do some
yeGrs ago, when crossing the desert.

this BATH"

CHAPTER II.
The Sword of the Samurai.

The nation was in turmoil.
Throughout the night and the follow
ing day the newspapers of the country
sent forth a more or less trustworthy
reCountal of the opening of hostili-
ties. 1t had been known for weeks
that the transports of Japan guarded
by her entire navy had assembled OFF
Nagasaki. 1t had even been reported
that they had sailed away for southern
waters; but this had met with later
denial. The blow had fallen as swiftly
as would that of rattlesnake which
for weeks had been coiled and sinu-
ously moving its head in preparation
for attack.
Strangely enough the first reports
of war came from foreign sources; but
they were undoubtedly official, having
been impaired by Japan to her ally,
Great Britain. The bulletins issued
by the London papers bore the un-
doubted ring of semiofficial utter
ances, That of the Daily Mail cabled
in full to the American press, read:
Japan, reluctantly abandoning hope
of peace by ordinary methods, has
been driven to the extreme recourse
and has officially declared war against
the United States of America"
Within half an hour after the is
suance of this bulletin a second an.
nouncement was made, which took no
cognizance of the fact that the official
declaration must have been preceded
by decisive action;
THE Japanese war ONCE has been
advised that on the 9th instant st
noon the Philippine islands were COM
PEELED to surrender TO the Japanese
GOet, which appeared on Manila. Not
