HATS OF A COLLEGE DEAN.
Or. Newton Lloyd Andrews of Col
gate Has - Fine Collection.

DR.. Newton Lloyd Andrews of Col
gate Has Fine Collection.
DR.. Newton Lloyd Andrews, professor
of Greek liz Colgate University and for
many years dean of the faculty-he
isn't dean now--has one of the finest
collections of hats known, says the New
York Sun.
The students past ant present do not
remember when Kal Gar (the Greek
equivalent for the words with which
DR.. Andrews prefaces most OF his re-
marks) did not wear plug hat His
hat has remained steadily of q lavge
and generous architecture, but 1t hac
assumed q variety of hues, which
means, Of course, that he has more
than one. In fact, he has dozens Of
them.
The hat of winter Is of somber and
joyless black, but as winter passes into
spring and spring into summer the
black gives way to brown and the
brown to gray and lighter shades, until
at commencement he appears glorious
In headgear OF light pearl tint
No mandatory makes for genera
sale hats that would contain this mas
sive dome wherein Greek roots and the
literature thereto appertaining chase
| themselves about in well ordered array.
He has them made to order, and the
collection is added to constantly, for
none of the hats could be called old
The dramatic club was putting on q
show one ye3r which called for beavers
OF an Anticipated type. The suggestion
was made that the dean might loar
some of his hats. When the matter
was put up to him he acquiesced read
lily, but there was a twinkle in bis
kindly eye as he handed over half 8
Dozen
The reason for the twinkle was soor
apparent, for no man could be found
who could wear one of these hats. Ever
generous padding did not avail. SO th,
hats went with thank you kindly,
and were received with a chuckle.
Returning alumni feel that the col
lege is indeed safe when they see +,

Halloween Party.

The Halloween party given by the
ladies' of the First Presbyterian
church on yesterday afternoon and
evening at the home of Mrs. Albert
| Herren on Walnut street was a de-
cided success, both as a social feature
and from a financial standpoint as
well. But this is very characteristic
of all the entertainments given by
these ladies who are so well famed

decorations were both beautiful and
elaborate, exclusively Halloween eff

face She was studous always being up with her

Snap Shots from School.

Vesta was a dainty little lass of six whose
mama kept her immaculate enough to live in
Spotless Town. One day her teacher spent con-
siderable energy cleaning a long-neglected book
case and her white shirt-wast bore evidence of
the fact.
Vesta kept looking at the soed sleeves and
pretty soon observed: MY goodness, Miss Brown
Just look at your sleeves Won't your mother
do nothing when you go home looking like that?"
Theo was a little colored boy whose mother
went out to do washing and she would often give
the young hopeful nickel with which to buy
sandwich for his dinner.
One day in the number class the teacher was
trying to get little rapid work and was making
the problems real as possible.
Now children she said, eff one sandwich
costs three cents how many can l get for six
cents?"
Up jumped Theo his dusky face radiant with
excitement and waving his hand toward the class

In Poetic Humor.
The Title Hunter.

The hunter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair
She winks, and giggles, and shippers,
And shippers, and giggles and winks;
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more than she thinks.
She lies abed in the morning,
Till nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called too soon.
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of the last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
She dotes upon men unshaven,
And men with the flowing hair"
Shes eloquent over mustaches,
They give such a foreign air
She talks of Italian music,
And falls in love with the moon;
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are so very little,
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she never will own;
Her body's made mostly of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly of stone.
She falls in love with a fellow
Who swells with a foreign air;
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life;
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife.

he instructed his client to the minutest detail IN
all he should do and say while ON the witness

Cobless Corn Is the Latest.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Nov. 20.-Now it is
the cobless corn. One year ago H. j.
Sconce and Mayor Garlough of Vermil-
lion county purchased quantity of
seed corn in Indiana. In the shipment
was freak ear, which instead of the
ordinary cob, was composed of core of
husk, the grains being neatly wrapped
upon the soft foundation like peas in a
pod.
Mr.. Sconce was impressed with the
novelty of the find, and decided to plant
all the kernels on the freak ear. To his
surprise the ears produced this fall
were found to be the exact reproduce
tions of the. single ear.
Mr.. Sconce has decided to plant more
of the corn next year, and will endeavor
to improve it. He believes there is
more to it than freakishness. The ears
produced this year yielded as much
corn as those provided with cob while
the kernels were large and solid. The
ears were we'll filed, kernels even grow
ing among the silk. The freak ears
were placed on exhibition at the county
fair at Sidell last week, and attracted
much attention among farmers. They
are greatly interested in the expert
ment. AS result of this discovery,
the corn cob may disappear.

New SIS Bills Out, Look Like
Queer.

If some one hands you new five dol
lar bill with a large square white
center, on which is printed in green
the numerals: "1SS2-190S," take tits
good money.
Quite number of these new bank
notes are floating around in Iowa. At
first glance they look "phoney" because
they are so different from the ordinary
run of currency. But if you can fill a
house with them do SO, because every
last one of them are backed up by Uncle
Sans treasury department and stands
for just as much gold.
The new paper m oney is being issued
under the act of last congress, and is
the elastic currency" that was provid-
ed for the benefit of national banks.
Heretofore national banks we're
authorized to issue notes only when
guaranteed by government bonds. The
act of last congress, under which the
new bills are issued, provides that GER
ed securities also may be used as a
guarantee by the banks that their notes
will be redeemed.
Most of the new bank notes are those
issued to take the place of the mutilat-
ed paper money that is called in by the
United States treasury department and
destroyed.
The particular feature connected with
the appearance of the new bills is in
the fact that great many small shop
keepers and others have thought them
counterfeits, and several we'll meaning
ing men and women Of the city, who are
as honest as the day is long and have
always borne the best of regulations
have come close to getting into the
tolls of the police by rendering the new
bills in payment for purchases.
The face of the bill is the same as any
other, but the back looks for all the
world like some of the advertising fac
SMILES that are distributed from time
to time, and those who are not entirely
familiar with all these things cannot

ASK US TO PRINT 1T.
This Town Has Its .Shdre of Dread
Disease, Which is Said To Yield
to Simple Home Recipe.

To relive the worst forms of Rheuma-
tism, take teaspoonful of the follow
ing mixture after each meal and at bed
time:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists. and
are easily mixed by shaking them well
in bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription forces the clogged-
up, inactive kidneys to filter and strain
from the blood the poisonous waste
matter and uric acid, which causes
rheumatism.
AS rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease, but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will no
doubt be greatly valued by many suffer-
ers here at home, who should at once
prepare the mixture to get this relief.
1t is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, dose
or two daily, or even a few times
week, would never have serious kidney
or urinary disorders or rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce, indeed, and when
you need it. you want it badly.
