Spelling the College Boy.

(HnllauelpIlld lIQ uTelJ
It used to be that the greatest bene-
At any boy got at college was from
contact with these men of superior
character, fine ideals and warm sym
pathes, who gave literally of their
gifts of heart and mind to the pupils,
Nowadays the typical college profess
sor is a smart young man with a
Doctors degree, who looks upon his
profession as trade, and who is
thinking most about enhancing his
reputation and pocketbook. Practical
ly nine tenths of the boys at the larg-
er colleges and universities are pur-
suing what are called applied science"
courses. They study little Latin, and
seldom any Greek at all They escheW
literature and philosophy and go in for
engineering. 1t is held by DR.. Schur-
man or anyone else that it is improper
to educate man in the applied SCI
ences, but it is urged most vigorously
that this should come after liberal
education has been received, and should
take the place of courses in the learn
ed professions We are graduating eN-
cry year thousands of young mechanl-
cal. electrical and civil engineers who
are up in technicalities, but with little
perspective of life. Many good law
yer or doctor is spoiled in a bad en-
pineer The important decision Is
made too soon and it is too late to
make change after graduation.

Names Go Well Together.

John T. Booz and +. L. Drfnkwater
both of Chicago, are business partners
No. there is nothing of a jest about 1t.
Those are their real names and they
are partners, travel together. AT The
Hollenden a few days ago they were
registered together, one just beneath
the other.
Along in the afternoon Mr.. Drink
water approached Bob" McCarty. the
clerk. and inquired, where do you
suppose | can find Booz" Have you
seen anything of him??'
McCarty, of course thought 1t was
Joke Right around the corner he
said. smilingly, directing him to the
bar
Drinkwater hadn't any more than
started for the bar when Booz came
up. II want Drinkwater," he an
nounced "Wherell l look"
Drink OF water?" repeated McCar-
ty, right down there toward the bar,
you'll find the tank
And Booz started down toward the
bar where Drinkwater had gone to
hunt for him. Thus it happened that
they met each other.
They walked together toward the
desk IT found him." Drinkwater told
the clerk i've been chasing after him
all afternoon"
Then Jim" Thompson. manager OF
The Hollenden, got off one. for he
knew the two by their real names.
"Drinkwater's the chaser. eh?" says
Jim" That was his bon mot.

Board, Not Lodaina.

Last summer Congressman j. Adam
Bede of Minnesota did good deal OF
work on the chautauqua lecture plat
form, and he tells several interesting
experiences. One warm day he was adj
dressing a large audience in northern
Indiana. 1t was out Of doors, and many
of the women had children with them.
All We're quiet except one little fellow,
whose mother sat close to the platform.
The child cried and cried. and then
cried some more, the mother mean
while lowering over him in true moth
erly fashion, and doing her best to re-
store peace Finally one of the men
on the platform leaned over the rail-
ing and said to the mother in tone
that carried his words to nearly every
body present:
MADAM, from what I know about
children, should say that what your
child wants is not lodging, but board"
did the remark have the desired
result?" Mr.. Bede was asked, when
repeating the story.
1T did, was the reply. "The
mother and child beat a hasty retreat
to some point in the rear Of the crowd.
and soon the cries were heard no
more"

Charge Made That City Has Not
Accommodations For Demo-
cratic Convention
ATTENDANCE WILL BE LESS
Rooms in Hotels Already Engaged and
Some Of Delegations Plan to Sleep
in Special Cars = Complaints Come
From Various States of Failure to
Secure Rooms.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Chicago demo-
Gratis, who intend going to Denver next
July to attend the democratic nation
al convention, are already experience
ing difficulty in reserving hotel ac-
commoda tons, and in consequence ths
Chicago delegation to the west may he
much smaller than expected.
When Denver was given the con-
vention large number of Chicago
democrats Immediately telegraphed for
hotel reservations No immediate an
swer was received, but during the last
week letters, beginning we regret that
all rooms are engaged for convention
week." are being received from Denver
hotel managers.
Robert f. Burke's democracy 200
strong, will attend the convention. and,
on account of lack of hotel accommo-
dations, will sleep in the Pullmans,
which will be sdetracked few blocks
from the depot.
The Bryan league, organized by Car
ter H. Harrison, also will make the
trip to Denver in special train, and
probably will be forced to do as the
Burke men intend doing-sleep in the
cars
Nearly seventy-fve other prominent
democrats, not affiliated with either or
ganiZation, have been unable to obtain
rooms at any of the hotels, and on this
account will not make the trip.
Roger G.. Sullivan, national commit
teeman from Illinois, and chairman OF
the committee on arrangements. has
reserved quarters for the Illinois dele
CATION, but has been forced to take
rooms at three different hotels.
Complaints regarding the lack OF
hotel accommodations in Denver are
being heard from other states.
All the down town hotels in Chica-
go have their full quota of reserva-
tions for the republican convention
which will be held at the Coliseum
but it is expected that no matter how
large the crowds are Chicago will be
able to give every one place to sleep
during the convention. Fred Upham
estimated that 100000 persons will be
drawn to Chicago convention week.

thee. from the lingo. the demagogue,

Approves Trial Marriages.

Paris.-In replying to the theme add
vanced by Paul Bourget in his play
"A Divorce" which was given in this
city last night, Aristide BRAND. the
minister Of justice and worship prac-
tically comes out in favor of trial mar
riages. He indorses the idea of the
gradual evolution of the doctrine of
divorce until the point is reached
where a marriage may be contracted
for specified period under legal safe
guards protecting the interests of both
parties. He declares it is impossible
for those about to enter upon this re-
lation to know the true character Of
their partners and that it is unnatural
and intolerable to expect an ill-mated
pair to drag out a miserable existence
because they Numbered in entering
upon the most vital relations in life.

GOOD CAT1[E MARKET
Strong For Light Grades and
Steady For Heavy and
Butcher Stuff
ADVANCE OF TEN IN HOGS
There Was Strong Demand From
ScaIpers Today, But Inquiry From
Shippers Was Tame - Light Re-
ceipts Responsible for Sheep Being
Strong to Ten Higher.

Chicago. Jan 31.-Cattle were strong
for light grades. and steady for heavy
and butcher stuff. The quality OF
steers was generally poor.
Chillrooms both in local and eastern
quarters hold big supply of beef
bought in the last two weeks when the
receipts We're heavy, and since slaugh-
terers have piled up surplus OF meats
they are looking around for a broader
outlet rather than being DESTROYS of
continuing big purchases.
Some of the buyers claim their kill
ing sheets show that the dressed beet
steers costing s4.50@5.25 are not any
lower than Monday. while asserting
that some purchases of these kinds
made Wednesday We're even on a
strong basis, but killing sheets are
hardly good criterion for the country
feeders and shippers to work on. They
are up and down too often, according
to the quality of the goods bought.
Hogs.
Hogs were 1Oc higher on strong de-
mand from scalpers. Packers were
steady in going on the market. while
inquiry from shippers was tame.
1t is an open secret that packers re-
gard the stuff as worth what 1t is
costing and good investment Any
serious curtailment of the movement
would undoubtedly put the market
where it would have been right along,
had supply not been burdensome. The
January run is around 100000. Ar
rivals for the month to date are about
302, 900 in excess OF year ago.

Sheep were strong to 10 higher
