certain graduate who hailed from
south of Mason and Dixon's line and

rience:
He was a tall. rawboned fellow
when he entered the academy as
"plebe" and had been assigned to a
room with bright little chap, with
whom he SOON became very friendly
and confidential. Several weeks after
he had entered the academy he rece1v-

which she had inclosed clipping from
their county newspaper.
The article mentioned the fact that
young Mr.. had received an ap"

This article inspired its recipient
with pride and pleasure. He found 1t
impossible to refrain from showing 1t
to his roommate and an hour after
having done so was accosted while
going downstairs by an upper class
man who had been drilling him and
had been very serere. At this meeting
the upper class man. who was about
half his size, LOOTED at him solemnly,
removed his cap and said: "Mr. -, I
humbly beg your pardon for having
been so stern with you. l did not
know until a few moments ago what a
distinguished and intellectual young
man you were. YH'u honor us by be-

The pleased 'p?ebe," never for a
moment seeming mischief, grinningly
replied: "That's all right, Mr.. -.

his roommate were engaged In study
there was a knock at their door, and

Movino Pictures In Church,

The largest Methodist church in At

illustrated songs as part Of the serv-
