THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

A woman going along in the dusk of a business street saw an oldish mat, standing before a store window. Ho was tall. thin man. with a students stocr to his shoulders and the profile of a deep thinker.
 As he stood motionless and with . look of absorbed contemplation, tho woman, knowing how slight a thing will recall old days and scenes. felt without knowing that the man had seen some article in the window that had set him to thinking of the past. With the instinctive sympathy that one lonely soul always feels for another. she walked by quietly so as not to dis-s turb his line of thought In pacing. however, she glanced at the winl1ow, to see if she could determine what had worked the charm.
 It was trousers marked down. Washington Star.

PROTEST UNLIKELY Ministers Likely to Let Boxing Bouts Pass as Last of
 This Year. ON RECORD AGAINST THEM Harmar Bronson and Frank Coyle Ex- plain the Plans of the Match to
 the Committee.
ON RECORD AGAINST THEM

.fA \ .
 J. Harmar Bronson, president of the Edgewood A. C., and Frank Coyle sec retary, yesterday afternoon, after the Chapman meeting at Polls theater, addressed committee of ministers representing the various denomina- tions of the city on the plans for the Lewis MantelI boxing match to be held in this city January 23.
 Mir. Bronson arrived before the Chapman meeting and said he enjoyed it thoroughly. After it was over, with Mir. Coyle, he went up on the stage and was presented to the ministers. Briefly he outlined the plans of the club for the January bouts, remarked upon the past record made by the or ganization and explained that the meetings will be sparring for points instead of lighting" TIT asi
 The committed will report at the meeting of the city pastors in Foy auditorium this morning. and the re- port will be that the holding of the boxing matches in the city is adverse to the best interests of the city. A member of the committee last night stated that no protest would probably be made to the chief of police in re- gard to the matter, but that the asso- citation of ministers might go on rec ord as against such exhibitions.
 The Edgewood club has practically decided that the bouts on January 23 will be the last given by it in the city this year. and, such being the inten- tion. it is generally considered that the January bouts wll be allowed, with the tacit understanding that they be the last.

POLTTENESS PUNISHED. An Episode of Travel on the Subway, In Which a Woman Gets Seat.

It was in the subway and there were several women standing, so that the setting was conventional. This was helped out by the fact that several men were seated.
 Two of the men were of the fiorid- ly amiable type and they were con versing with a great deal of laughter. Not far from them stood severe looking woman who was reading a book as she swayed with the motion of the train
 Just about exactly across from the men was a woman seated who wore a long fur piece and had a huff iii her lap. As the train hit a curve the huff rolled off onto the floor
 She sat there rather helplessly, be- cause she was stout, Hooking at the huff.
 One of the horidly amiable men goi up to restore the huff to the woman, Here's your huff you dropped" he said smiling killingly at the stout woman, who was not bad looking.
 Thank you so much," she remark ed, with a sort of flaccid coquettish- ness.
 "Oh, not at all," he said and then turned to regain his seat The severe looking woman who had been reading still was deep in hel book. But she was sitting now. Wher the man arose she slipped unconcern. edly into the empty seat.
 The man bent his gaze on her. ana with the sense of being stared at sh, l lifted her eyes to him.
 "Why. I have your seat" she said as if in blank astonishment at th' happening. Would you like it back ?
 By no means. madam" he replied and stood the rest of the way ui town

BROWNSON'S ACT
 CALLED CHILDISH
Continued From First Page.)

or of the construction department whether in one bureau or another, is to give immediate and loyal obedi- ence to every lawful command of a superior, and, of course, above all, to the law itself. This duty Is incum- bent upon those in rank, whose exam pie may be of far reaching effect.
 (Signed.)
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 The presidents second letter to MT. Metcalf is an argument to sustain his decision to assign medical officers to the command of hospital ships. He says in part:
 "The command of hospital ship should unquestionably be vested in medical officer, and no line officer should be aboard 1t. The medical off cer in such case is simply the respon- sible head of large hospital plant, which by reason of his training he is peculiarly fitted to command. It is not his province to navigate the vessel; this should be left to civilian sailing mas ter; but he, and he alone, Is best quail fled to respect and guard the neutrality of the ship.
 Tn time of war the presence of com batants-that is, of line officers or crew would certainly cast a suspicion upon the neutrality of the ship; and no line officer worth his salt would wish to be in such ship.
 Certain hospital ships in the Brit ish, German, Japanese and Italian nav ies have already been commanded by medical officers. some times fleet sur geons, some times Red Cross surgeons. In these navies the only ships of which I have been able to get record were thus commanded. (Signed)
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
 Admiral Brownson was shown the presidents letter to-day by a repre- sentative of the Associated Press and was asked if in view of the fact that Mir, Roosevelt's side of the subject had been stated in these communications he did not feel at liberty to say something in his own behalf.
 Not word" was his promp reply, and this attitude he maintained to all inquiries for his views.

CAMPUS IS CLOSED
Merchants and Vendors Must Have Students Request
 for Admission.
COLLECTORS UP A TREE
Are Wondering How They Can Ob- tain Desired Entrance to Hal
 lowed Ground.

This morning the rules regarding all and old clothes men, goes into effect on the campus. The rules are more strict than seemed at the first report for from the printed letter sent out by the bursar, only when a student requests a dealer to come to his room, can per mission be procured from the bursar. Following is the communication sent broadcast by H. NJ Osborn, the bursar:
 Dear Sir-Your attention is called to the rule which prohibits solicita- tion for the sale of goods of any kind on the premises of Yale college. EX- ception to this rule is made only when a student requests a dealer to come to his room, or to send a repre- sentative there, for the purpose of taking an order. Such persons will not hereafter be allowed to enter our buildings unless they and their em- ployers have complied with the fol-
 
 lowing new rule which is to take eff feet on Monday, January 6, 1908:
 Commencing with the second term of the college year 1907-19OS, each dealer who desires to do business with occupants of our buildings must make application at the bursar's office for the registration of all employees both statesmen and delivery boys) whom he desires to send to college rooms. This application must state:
 Name of employee, name of em- ployer. age of employee, nationality of employee, height of employee, city address of employee.
 "On the receipt of this application, each employer will be furnished with a printed registration card, which will be filled out for each employee, This card must be constantly carried by the employee, and shown to any rep resentative of the university when ever a request to that effect Is made. These registration cards will not be tra/iferable. When an em- ployee for any reason leaves the employers service the bursar's of flee must be informed of the fact at once and the registration card fo rthe said employee must be sur rendered to said office.
 Believing that the best interests of the dealers, as well as of the mem bers of the university will be protected by the above ruIa, we ask your cooperation in this matter This office will be open each week day from a. m, to 5 ?. m.
 "The university police have orders to strictly enforce the above rule, on and after January 6. 1908
 Yours truly, I'll. NJ. OSBORN,

A KLoNDIKE TURNIP.

Mrs Robert Henderson, the wife of the discoverer of the Klondike, has tho largest nugget ever taken from the ground in the lKlondike, It was taken out this fall, and Mrs Henderson has the honor of having dug 1t up herself. The nugget weighs twenty-five pounds and is nothing more or less than a giant turnip, grown in the Henderson garden at their home in South Daw- son.
 The turnip looks in size more like a pumpkin. It is sound and has the pe- culiar quality of being tender and de- licious to the extent that can be secur- ed only in vegetables grown under the midnight sun, Were navigation still open Mrs, Henderson would send the turnip to the coast to surprise the na- lives of Puyallup, Chilliwhack, Seattle and Gotham. AS it is she will slice 1t and have turnip off the one root for thirty successive meals.-Lawson cor- respondence Seattle Post Intelligencer.

WAS A VIKING FUNERAL SHIP.
Interesting Relic of the Past DUO Up
in Norway.

Recently in Norway was discovered
a viking funeral ship at least LOO
years old. It's mortuary chamber con-

Judging from the size of the craft and
the elaborateness of it's appointments,
belonged to some noble and wealthy
family. The vessel, which is 70 feet
long and 16 feet inches broad, was
dug out Of a tumulus, two and aghalf
miles from the shore, near Tonsberg.
1t contained an extremely valuable
collection Of historic remains, inclu-
ding a four:wheeled chariot, richly
and quantity decorated, four sledges,
three of them curiously carved, sever
al beds, lintels, a mill, spinning
wheels, and a variety Of kitchen uten-
sils. A diligent examination of these
has led to the conclusion that the fu-
neral ship belongs to the ninth GEN.

every shred of romance, poetry and

not only Of what tears are composed,
but exactly the effect that is produced
on brain and body when we shed
them.

she was weeping passionately on his

Charlemagne, the various stops and
symbols being designed by Warne-
fried and Alcuin.
The present system of punctuation
was introduced in the latter part of
the fifteenth century by Aldus Manu-
