Manners Make "Dandies."

Paris. -Andre de Fouquieres, who
has the enviable reputation Of being
the best dressed man In Paris, has
written book which goes far toward
telling us how it is done. According
to this authority, the perfect dandy of
today must have an elegant mind as
we'll as an elegant waistcoat. In other
words, he must be an intelligent. spir.
tied talker, courteous, tactful and
chivalrous. For it is II his manner as
much as in his dress that the real dan.
dy is to be discovered.

Students Kick at Smoke Rule.

New York. Students at Columbia
university are objecting to new rule
which forbids smoking in any of the
lecture rooms or Railways. The college
daily is leading the attack, one of the
arguments advanced being that the
members Of the faculty may step into
their Office between lectures for a
smoke, while the students are denied
tho same privilege.

of his paws sent the glass flying in a
hundred pieces, following the crash
with a plunge that brought his shaggy
form all tumble on to the ground. He
had no sooner landed than the second
bear followed suit, and in another Sec
ond the animals were streaking it into
the woods, while the boys and girls, Of
course, were making pell-mell in the
other direction.
The bear that did the glass breaking
evidently cut it's paw, for blood in pref
ty good quantities was to be found
along the route taken by the animals.
When the schoolroom was opened and
an examination made it was discov.
cred that the bears had played havoc

with the books and maps. They were
evidently. in search for food, and the
books and other articles coming within
the reach of their search had been
roughly handled.
This is the schoolhouse In which
during the summer a colony of bees
took up their abode between the wall
and the weather boards, where they
stored a quite generous supply of hon
ey before being discovered and their
sweetmeats confscated. 1t is pre-
sumed that the bears were drawn to
the place by the smell of this honey,
or the bees may have made some OF
their comb in the little basement or
the building, and that this is what first
attracted the attention Of the bears.

up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up at the prisoners
