top to bottom. He told how rotten the
| standards were, what q poor faculty
! the school had. and how several OF his
classmates had already gone to an
other school in the state. and he was
going also. Each sentence was pune
tuated with an immense amount OF
profanity.
When asked to specify his grew
ances. the young man said without q
sign of shame that he Just swfped
some OF last years examination Ques-
! tions.' and when he went around to
| see about this years work, he was
! told that he might as we'll go to some
| other school. as he could never grad
| uate from Iowa
He stated that the others he men
! toned had left for the same reason
Fortunately for the reputation OF
the young men of this state, the num-
Der who were in this young mans
boat was Very small. They had been
found out and suffered quick punish
ment. 1t is too bad that they can not
be kept out of other law schools, for
they will assuredly disgrace them
selves, the legal profession and the
school from which they graduate when
they come to enter upon the prac-
tice OF law
The most staggering part Of this
young mans confession was the air of
| injured innocence with which it was
given. He did not deny his guilt of
the theft, but seemed to consider it no
! disgrace whatever. He could not I'M
! derstand why a professor should pick
onto him for such a little thing. He
was sure that the school was on the
! brink of ruin
MAKING AND WEARING THEM.

A young Kansas farmer bought
pair of overalls recently and found who
made them. He very promptly wrote
an ELUSIVE letter and in due time re-
ceived q reply, which was devoid of the
romance usual in such cases. Here 1t
is: II am a working girl 1t is true.
make a good living and I do not care
to support husband, as I would If I
married some silly noodle who gets
mashed on a girl he never saw. Per-
nit me to say that I do not know how
my card got in that pair of overalls.
and when I do marry it will be some
fellow who can afford something better
! than q Ascent pair Of breeches."
The above was probably intended for
very funny story. but somehow i
never cOuld see the humorous SIDE or IL.
In my opinion that Kansas lad was
mighty lucky when he got turned down
by girl who was contented to put the
finishing touches on Ascent overalls
. on salary of $3.50 week, when she
might be learning to take care Of the
home she expects some time to have.
l have met many like her. and the
young man who bought the overalis.
I'm hot
Ten years from now the Kansas man.
If he is right. will be sitting beneath
his own vine and fig tree figuring up
the profits on his last shipment of
stock. while the girl in the story will
proba bly, be waiting for her husband to
come back from down town where he
has job driving a delivery wagon. He
Will not be in hurry to come home,
either, for he knows what the home
I will look like when he gets there
The Kansas man wears overalls even
yet, occa sionally, but he has several
other pairs of breeches. and did have at
the time he wrote the letter. as far
as that is concerned He pays more
taxes than that deliveryman's salary
amounts to. and could buy out whole
gosh dinged clothing store If he want
ed it.
Never mind about his oyeralls
