His Mind Already Made Up.

Il have already had that matter un
der consideration" Senator Beveridge
answered, "and have made up my
mind as to what | shall do in regard
to it,
Mr.. Griffiths Strengthened up and
batted his eyes at the directness Of
the answer.
1T was not niece ssary at all for you
to mention the subject to me-" con
tinued the senator. And again Grit
fiths looked around.
Il have made up my mind that as

glad to have you continue in office fol
two reasons" Senator Beveridge wenr
on. The first is the very excellent
record you have made as consul. The
second reason is the service you have
rendered to your party"
So it was settled right there in
short order and in plain language
that Mr.. Griffiths shall not be disturb
ed in his position as consul. Mr.. Grit
fiths was one of the strongest candi
dates for United States senator
against Beveridge when he was elect
ed first in 1899.

The preliminary meeting of the
members of the classes was held in
the Sunday school rooms. A portion
of the time was spent in shaking
hands and renewing acquaintance
and friendships that had lapsed with
the course of years. Following the
roll call the members passed into the
auditorium in class formation. The
class of 1898 was given the honor of
leading and other classes followed &C
cording to the years. Among the
members of the class of 1893, who
were in line last evening were Mrs.
Rudulf Erik, Mrs. George Sudhoff and
Mrs. Cote, who have remained active

COLLEGE NiGHTRIDING.

The president of the Illinois Univer-
sity compares college hazing with the
depredations of the night riders. Fur
thermore, he announces that any one
who engages in it will be Immediately
dismissed from that institution. This
is a little strong. In rs much as the
night riders of the tobacco district In
variably start out with the intention
of doing some one material and bodily
injury, while on the other hand the
college boy usually means to do no
harm to his fellow student and in the
exuberance of youth sometimes does.
The motives are entirely different. AS
some one said, there is q distinct anal
ogy, however. in the two. Both are
bodies of men who have strength far
beyond their wisdom and discretion
and they use that strength unwisely.
It is also true that the ignorant night
riders do not consider their actions
criminal, but heroic, but SO did the par
Elephants in the Whiskey Rebellion who
were put down in the back woods of
the state of Pennsylvania in the first
beginnings of our government by fed
eral troops. 1t simply means that If
hazing is brutal and cowardly it, too,
will have to go.
In the larger eastern universities
hazing has gone and not by any rules
which have been passed, but simply
because it was not thought worthy of
the university to indulge in it, and be-
cause the freshmen were not fresh. 1t
has been replaced by somewhat nom
sensical frigidity of the upper classes
toward the lower which achieves the
object which hazing is supposed to do.
And so it is that for the most part,
hazing remains only in the fresh
water institutions.
1t is worth while to consider the
method of the officers in charge of the
United States Naval Academy in this
matter. Hazing has for the most
part been done away with (much to the
disgust of the Junior Officers, who
grew up under the SYSTEM by the SIM
pie process of making the very things
which the upper classmen attempted
to enforce part of the regulations. No
longe can the plebe walk on Lovers
Lane and sit on the bench which the
Academy regulations reserve for the
upper classmen The rule works and
it has good effect on the fourth class.
1t leaves no excuse for hazing.
And SO it comes about that when the
material in the colleges does not need
hazing, or when the college itself in a
much juster way gives to the upper
classmen certain inalienable rights,
hazing is done away with. Those are
the only two solutions of the problem
For hazing, where it only takes the
swelled head attitude out of the boy
who has just come up from prep school
or high school, where he has been the
only and original, or from the family
which has been revolving round him,
is useful and good thing. If these
things were enforced or otherwise ia
ken care of by the proper authorities
and not left to the well meaning and
misguided efforts of the students, the
college atmosphere would be little
clearer.
1t is doubtful whether hazing any
more than any thing else can be pro-
hibited by the blue laws.

So Hohenzollern in course Of time came

AS a matter OF history and legend II
seems that On the eminenoe on which the
castle is so admirably situated there was
always a Hohenzollern. There was a
stronghold there in the ninth century,
Destroyed and rebuilt through varying
fortunes Of war. 1t covered much the same
ground in the fourteenth century that the
building now does. With the passing Of
the age Of chivalry the old fortress fell
into ruins and Frederick ". OF Prussia
wishing to preserve the ancestral home
OF his family, restored it upon a model
OF a castle Of the latter part Of the four

might not have got tired and might have
deigned TO return.
Her Majesty came here once said
a Heohingen man who seemed to know
all about Hohenzollern. AT first she
was enthusiastic over the castle. it's
superb situation and it's architectural
beauty, and she started in to study the
building.
"The inscriptions over the gate caught
her eye and she read them. She oon-
tinued to read as she walked on. She read
verse after verse. until finally when she
had finished with the genealogical hall
she asked to be shown to the royal apart
ments.
There we're more rhymes there. She
went into the library and there were
more there. Then she went away. They
say tia: the vorses got on her neryee and
that she could not stand them. She has

would do something for Hohenzollern.
He would station soldiers there, come
himself some time or send somere present
