one could be and did not see in the ac-
ton Of the special meeting any oppo-
sition to temperance.
n, H. Elder did not see any parti-
sanship in the matter and thought the
action Of the special meeting proper.
He believed in indorsing the action
Of the fifteen who had telegraphed
the legislators at Boise.
The legality OF the special meeting
was questionedd and several members
made remarks in defense OF the meet
ing. among them A. v. Chamberlin,
who said that he took part In it in the
interest OF the city and without any
other object In view. George Steele
and William Dollar also expressed
themselves In the same manner.
r. L. Black also defended the ac-
tion Of the special meeting and made
clear the point that It was not in OPP
position to local option but simply
for the right OF towns to decide the
question for themselves by vote OF
those affected by the liquor business
The matter was thoroughly aired
on both sides, 3. v. Boughton strong
ly defending the position OF Mr.. Dunn
on the ground that the question was
not proper one to come before the
club.
When the vote was taken the pres
ldent declared the resolution tabled
and j. c. White moved that the club
lndorse the action of the special meet
ing His motion prevailed and the
controversy was ut an end.
A. W. Branson was recognized by
the president and In an impassioned
speech stated that the directors of the
club had recommended the abolish
ment of the buffet which has been
conducted In connection with 1t, but
that the club had at a previous meet
Ing turned down the recommendation
and he closed his remarks by making
a motion that the buffet be dispensed
with on and from March 1 was car
ried by unanimous vote without dis
cussion and this action puts an end
to one of the features Of the club
which has caused more or less fric-
tion In the past.
The club took up the question OF
continuing the summer normal school
here and passed a resolution asking
the legislature for an appropriation
to support the same. The statement
was made that the state superintend-
ent Of schools favored the proposal
TO make the summer normal a perma-
nent thing.
The emmittee having charge OF the
publication OF literature descriptive
OF the country. in conjunction with
the electric line, reported progress.
and the newly elected secretary made
few remarks asking the cooperation
of the members in helping him to &C :
complish the work Of his ONCE. He
invited the members receiving letters
OF inquiry to turn them over to him
for reply, stating that he would be
pleased to care for all such CORES.
pondenee. This completed the busl-
ness OF the evening and the club ad-
iourned.

The mayor then took hand in the
controversy, and Intercepted Olson
at length on the sewer question. He
wanted to know If in the Judgment of
Olson the sewer had been laid ac-
cording to the original grade If it
would not have worked perfectly-at
least better. Olson thought the mat
ter over and during his meditation If
the thought ever entered his mind
that II would have worked better, 1t
was driven out by the thought of tin
cans, lady's combs, smoking pipes,
and bottles and he made the qualifica-
ton, and he was not then certain
whether 1t would have worked better
or not. The mayor then spoke of
the sewer on Front and Sixth street.
Here was line of sewer. he said.
that was almost perfectly level, and
called 0lson's attention to the fact
that when an examir alton was made

fall of the stream could make
no difference. Olson enthusiast

nounced it a fine stream-said at

This ended the controversy, al
though Olson indicated that he was
still willing to answer all questions

E6No one who has not gone to a
v girls college knows how the
girls scrimp and save to get
enough money to earn their way
through said the Barnard graduate to
the girl who hoped to be a freshman.
This year there were 100 more girls
registered at Barnard college than
there had been any previous year. The
secretary tells me that this is due large
ly to the financial depression. There
were hundreds of families all over the
country who could not afford to send
their daughters away from home to
college this year, and instead, sent them
out to work. Since the New York girl
can live at home she escapes the heavy
expenses of dormitory life, which an
out-of-tOwn girl finds such burden.
Many a mother smoothed over the
WORKOUT seams of her last years suits
and cut off rations on her own lunch
con to send her daughter to Barnard
college. With these small economies
it is soon possible to save up the $3.50
which is all that is necessary to pay
the years tuition.
when 1 told my father five years
ago that / was going to college he
laughed at me. He wanted me to be
stenographer. He said he could not
afford to pay for any such high falutin
notions l said was going to college
anyway, even if I had to scrub floors
to get the money to go there L passed
my entrance examinations and then
looked around for a job for the summer
1 was rather fresh at the time, and I
went around offering myself as secre-
tary to Mr. Andrew Carnegie and to
Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan. 1t was a
strange thing that they were always
out when called. Finally 1 compro-
missed by taking job as nurse to two
little boys during the day and as an
assistant librarian in the evening. By
the end Of the summer / had earned
$54. I put this money in the bank for
a rainy day.
'T was lucky enough to have won a
scholarship for my freshman year. You
must have high marks and all sorts Of
moral, mental and physical require
ments if you ever want to get one. If
you have a scholarship you are al
ways afraid that you are going to lose
it. A few years ago one of the bright
est girls in Barnard lost hers because
she locked up rival class president
in an empty house. The most famous
case of girl losing a scholarship is
that of the Barnard student who per-
sisted in taking off two years from her
real age at odd times. When she was
questioned How old is ANN she de-
murely answered, Two years younger

A NATURE FAKE EXPOSED
Elephant Shows No Fear of Mice and
ExpIodes Theory of NaturaIsts

Ihere was once "a rumor going the
rounds that the genus elephant fears
the genus mouse. Luna, the Bronx
park pachyderm, if asked the truth Of
TINS, probably would reply she feels
nothing but strong ticklish sensation
when the word mouse" is mentioned
in her hearing.
All was quiet in the Bronx zoo ela-
phant house Wednesday and Luna, for
merry known as Alice, was browsing
against the wall of her abode Now
and then she grunted uneasily. Posi-
ply she was dreaming of that time q
lew weeks ago when she made her mad
rush into the reptile house, causing ex-
c1temeHt among the spectators and an
Eoyanoe among the serpents, whose
repoSe was disturbed when Lima
smashed their glass prisons with her
mighty trunk. The elephantine heroine
OF this episode awakened when some
thing began to tickle her foot. She
awoke and looked angrily at the cause
of the disturbance
She saw a creature so small as to be
almost Invisible. 1t was a mouse and
the first Luna had ever seen, her keep
ers say. The rodent was scampering
merrily around tire pachydern's
Weighty foot. Now and then it would
stop and nibble furiousIy at Luna's
toes. 1t was this that had awakened

back discreetly to the rear of her cage.
At her first movement the mouse raced
to the side of the cage, where it paused,
looking cautiously around IiIna's
keeper stood watching the proceedings
from the gangway back of the inclos-
ure.
The elephant, the keeper saws. stood
trembling at the rear of her home. her
little red eyes still fastened on the
small, gray tuft of fur against the
Iurther wall. The mouse made the next
move. 1t advanced to the middle of the
cage, where it paused again. Then it
ran to the elephant and started to rouD
about the forelegs.
Then Luna decided to stop the antics
OF the mouse. She cautiously brought
her forelegs together AS the mouse
Jumped upon her toes she managed to
press one of her huge feet on the little
an1maPs tail. There was much squeak,
ing and struggling at the base of that
elephants foot as the mouse battled
Valnly TO escape. Luna was perfectly
calm, and, her keeper said, she evident
ly seemed oblivious of the reputed
dread an elephant has for mouse.
with her trunk she gingerly picked
up the struggling mouse by the tail and
| heid 1t aloft where she could examine it
more carefully. Then she trunpeted
loudly, at the same moment hurting her
captive away from her. The mouse
struck the wall with a thud and fell to
the floor of the cage. Evidently it was
not hurt much, for it raced awav in
fright and disappeared between two
boards. Luna leaned AGAINST the wall
ana went to sleep again.-New York

SCENE IN A VOLCANO
Continued from Page Five)


the ground was quite warm under foot
and very soft in some places. We
moved quickly to the edge of the third
crater and here our descent was ended
the sides of this last crater were per-
pendicular and the bottom was boiling.
bubbling and steaming There were "a
great number of small explosions
sometimes one little greater than the
others would throw boiling lava
hundred feet up into the air. We stood
there some time, fascinated by the
grandeur of the scene. But we could
not stay long as we might have wished
to because our lives were at too great
risk, so we turned and started back.
The way we had come was too steep
to even think of going up, so we had
to start and make a long detour On
the way we passed a pool of fluid
which was as green as an emerald, and
one of our party, getting over-curious,
stuck his finger into it, but hurriedly
took it out again. His finger was
badly burned, for the pool was of some
kind of volcanic acid. Going back
there were times when we had great
difficulty in breathing, for the wind
had died down and the gases did not
rise from the crater as well as they
had before. There are days and days
when it is impossible to go into the
crater on account of the gases. The
wind has to be in a certain direction
so as to drive them out. There are
also days when the volcano is so active
that it throws it's lava over the edge
of the outside crater.
As we returned we did not laugh and
talk as much as we had while making
the first part Of the trip. The mystery
Of the place was occupying the greater
part of our thoughts and the rest were
all devoted to our aching bones.

than I said I was yesterday AS the
college authorities did not fully UNI
derstand her mathematics they dis
missed her.
''In my freshman year was green as
to the hundred and one ways of MAX
ing money at college when you find you
are broke and cannot pay your class
dues. The best method I discovered in
my verdant youth of earning money
was to make fudge and sell it in the
college exchange. The exchange is an
altruistic institution which sells every
thing from place cards to crocheted
neckties, from fudge to peppermint
drops, and from thumb tacks to the
famous No. 6 paper, without charging a
cent commission. I soon found out that
I could sell fudge that cost me, or
the bills, exactly 20 cents for the
enormous sum of $1.20. With a lot of
advertising of my particular brand of
pinochle I earned from 81 to S. a week
/ found this small sum enough to pay
my expenses while I lived at home,
but in my sophomore year my family
moved out to Colorado.
''Much against my fathers wishes I
stayed at Barnard and decided to earn
enough money to pay my board. The
summer I spent in a fresh air homo,
where I was paid S25 a month. I de-
cided to tutor in the winter in addition
to my other work. I put an advertise
ment in newspaper and the next day
young fellow applied who said he was
a Columbia student. Those were the
days when Columbia football was ram
pant, and this young man had spent so
much time in trying to get on the
team that he had neglected his Latin
prose. tutored him an hour each day
and after he got through with the
Latin I had to begin on his ethics
"In my junior year I carried on a
variety of employments. My family in
Colorado was very hard up, and when
ever / had q spare penny I sent it
home as a present to my mother. There
was a blind girl who came to Barnard
that year, and I earned a bit of money
reading aloud to her. One of the girls
at college had me address envelopes for
some Of her pet philanthropic schemes
used to mend the stockings Of all the
girls on my floor in the dormitory, and
as the laundry was an unusually de-
structive one I had no difficulty in
scraping together many a spare penny
in this way. l shampooed heads reg
ularly, but did not find that this paid
very well, as the girls did not tip me
and could only charge nominal fee.
In my senior year 1 got position as
teacher in one Of the night schools of
New York. 1 did not find the work
very hard, and 1 found the pay very
good. I also helped in proctoring at
civil service examinations, for which Il
received IS a day for doing nothing. As
my work at college was very heavy
during this year had much difficulty
in getting all these outside things done.
Since my funds were still low I did
some newspaper work toward the end
of the winter"
