fortnight ago the college daily suspended

surprised to find copies of the paper at
their doors .and when they glanced through
its columns they were still more surprised.
1t is believed that last evening half a
dozen students who are connected with
the college humorous paper got together
and concocted the bogus issue.
The edition was a facsimile Of the

general appearance. for the presses and
printing force Of the paper had boen

with ina ginary news and other matter.
The top half OF the title page was filed
with an indistinct and blurred mass OF

Of the building declared among other
things that "a vista will open to the

Tale OF FertuItous Escapcs.

The British freight steamship Hindu
stan. in last night from South American
ports, ran into heavy weather before day
light on Tuesday morning in the latitude
OF Hatteras and shipped many smashing
combers.
At 4 o'clock, just before the most de-
structive sea boarded the ship forward,
the two East Indian cooks got up and went
on duty under the impression that the
eight bells they had heard indicated mid
night instead Of O'Clock, The bunk in
which they had slept was destroyed by
the sea. When that happened they were
in the galley, which, being Of steel resisted
the onslaught that carried away nearly
everything else forward.
The comber swept the length of the
ship demolishing q port lifeboat, break
ing rails end ventiators and flooding the
en- ngineers' rooms and the stokehold. The
ship was hove to and the carpenter and
assistants began patching the broken
places forward with three inch plank.
Another sea boarded her and the planks
were swept away. Later bolts we're used

Four Kansas state Senators From Artist
EarIe's County.

TcPEKA. Kan, Feb. 10.-In support
Of his bill proposing to bust the affinity
business in Kansas Senator Travis to-day
confessed that his hatred for Phinney
Earle, tho artist, caused him to introduce

To plarate a few members Of the Legis-
lat,ire who are fighting the bill Senator
Travis said he would be willing to insert:
This AIT shall not apply to members OF

The reason why / framed this bill

SAVED By A LITTLE FISH
Ana . Policeman and various Human
Beings and others,

1t was the sardine Don Orsino All, the
brave Orsino the beautiful Orsino.
To be sure the evening papers said that
IL was the dog Cesare OF Oreste Giolito
that ran through the halls Of the Hotel
dEurope at 10 and 2l West Ninth street
in the dark Of the early morning yester-
day and barked a warning against the
encroaching flames. But always is it in the
evening papers that the dog awakes his
master in time; that the dog does this
and does that-never is II a sardine such
as the wonderful Orsino.
Conceive Of i'll Giolito, the proprietor
his family and all OF his guests are in
their beds. asleep. 1t is near 8 o'clock
The smoke comes up from the basemen mt,
where once the widow Nine. Marie
Griffou had stored her excellent wines
and cordials Comes and comes that
smoke. Still sleep Giolito and his worthy
guests.
Then does Don Orsino. sleeping in his
! little tin bed on the shelf where always he
has slept since first Giolto bought the
Hotel Griifou from Louis Grifiou, then does
this brave Orsino awake. Paffl He is
out Of his little tin bed and is hurrying
across the floor of the kitchen. propelling
himself with those hasty propulsions
Of his stalwart and so faithful tail.
Plop. plop. plop, goes Don 0rsino down
the hall Of the dining room PLAN, PLAN,
plan, up the stairs, now so thick with the
smoke. He pauses at the door OF Giolito' g
chamber of rest He cannot scream
through the crack of the door, for that
smoke Is 30 sufocating He cannot
beat down the door even with mighty
Don Orsino-that worthy Don Orsino
of Sardinia-lie upon his right fin and
taps against the door Of Giolitos chamber
with his tail Bang, bang. bangl Not an
answer Bang. bang. bangl
"Ha," calls Giolito. What is it?"
Giolito is saved. his family is saved.
Saved also are the guests. even though
the halls are now so suffocating
But what Of that sweet Don Orsino?
Outside of the chamber door Of Giolito
he lies, so limp. so beautiful. alas so
dead! One little sardine who did what
always the evening papers credit to the
dog-dead. Poor, beautiful Don Orsino.
And then, as the police slip reads.
Policeman Ryan went through the house,
assisting the guests to reach the side
walk, Adeah Seth and Adolf Arnesen
were found cropping through the smok e

Chautauqua lectures are popu-

at first hand. A good book on a
live subject would be even better
than a lecture, but how many can
be induced to read books? AS
good as either of these is the wide
awake magazine, but the mass will
never read magazines. The ma
jority of people though do read
newspapers and to satisfy the need
and want we expect to make this
page along mor "solid" lines in

editorials or special selections on
a timely subject. This is the quick
est and cheapest form to get itin

supplant the other mediums but
to add to them.
