New York-Wflliam Cullen Bryant
Kemp, matriculated student at Co
lumbia university for the past 27
years. will probably go down in his
tory as the only man ever sentenced
to be a student for life. When he was
a care free. happy-go-lncky lad OF
| freshman a quarter of a century ago.
a fond relative left him an annuity OF
| $1,000. "Bili' Kemp could only draw
this annuity, however, by remaining a
registered and chartered student of
university. II he ever left the classic
halls OF learning and set foot out in
the world beyond his income ceased.
But Mr.. Kemp preferred the sure
annuity to any chances of wealth and
| fame abroad. He has plugged along
an enrolled student at Columbia for
seven and twenty years. and will con-
tinue plugging along for half century
more II he be spared to such hoary
age.
Columbia's student in perpetuity
now writes his name William Cullen
Bryant Kemp, A. b., A. NJ, LII. b..
LII. M. But when you consider that
he has just been "dodging" along
planning and devising so as not to use
up all the $50 courses provided in the
curriculum 1t should be manifest that
before he has reached his full student
prime he will probably be able to read
Phi. D., ID. D., LII. D., M. E., C. E.. M.
D., ID. ID. s., and maybe wind 1t up
with veterinary surgery and osteo-
pathy. Courses in those branches
probably will be added in time to fit
him out completely for ripe old age.
Mr.. Kemp has not revealed whether
1t was an aunt or an uncle or parent
who tied him to a students existence
for all his days. He admits, however,
that when he was lad he failed to
evince that deep enthusiasm in study
which the fond relative demanded.
The fond relative persevered and
pleaded with him, however, and finally
got him across the threshold of learn
ing as a matriculated student at Col
umbia- Having accomplished this, the
fond relative sat down and made a
will. and in this will was bequeathed
and devised to William Cullen Bryant
Kemp an income of $4,000 a year SO
long as he remained on the student
rolls OF the university. Having made
this VIII, the fond relative died.
The courts pondered over the deli
cate question for many months, only
to decide in the end that the will could
have no other construction. 1t was
clearly the intent Of the deceased that
William Cullen Bryant Kempt must
remain student for life or else fore
go the annuity Furthermore he was
sentenced to live in a college dormi-
tory, which meant that If he took
wife he could not live with her. He
has never married.

Sunday School Lessons for the World.
A power greater than that Of kings
seems to have been welded by the
little group of thoughtful men who
gathered at the Fenway residence OF
w. N. Hartshorn to select the les
seas for the Sunday schools Of the
world, says the Boston Herald. Every
year they gather to make this choice,
and when a decision has been reached
the lessons are handed out to the
printers and by them literally scat
tered over the planet. The word thus
goes forth not in one but in scores
OF languages. Europe and Africa, east
and west, north and south. get these
helps to religious study in the vernac-
ular. There is a supply for Hawaii,
Japan and the islands of the sea. For
India alone 40 dialects have to be pro
vided for. Some 500.o0o,0o0 Sunday
school leaflets are thus distributed
every year.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal ard family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
