sroRY oE coLLEeE pAYs.

Arthur Lefever, the well known Tex as author. said in Victoria, apropos of the Texas prohibition campaign:
 That reminds me of happening at tn University of Virginia during my student days in S4.
 There was a Baltimore freshman at the varsity whose father got several letters about his boys wild ways about his fondness for peach and such Hike heavy drinks. These letters grieved the old man to the heart He wrote to the freshman and in reply got a general denial of all the charges
 Evidence however. continued to pour in, and finally the father dcided on a secret journey to Charlottesville. He timed himself to arrive late at night It was in fact, o'clock in the morning when he rang the bell of his sons boarding house.
 Tn response to his ring a woman in 8 yellow bathrobe appeared, lamp in hand
 What do you want?" she deman- ded. peering suspidously into the darkness.
 Madame" said the amateur detect i've, lis this the residence of -" And he mentioned his sons name.
 The woman's grim look relaxed, and she answered indifferently:
 Yes, he lives here, you can car ry him right in.

cANDYMAN'S ANGER PUT ON
lie Orders Glucose Salesman Out of Store When Customers Are
 Present.

The recent flood of pure food matter in the papers calls to mind a couple of stories told of and by a travelling salesman who in 1876 represented the first big glucose factory established in Buffalo. He sold the stun to the can dy makers by the carload. One day a friend met him in a Boston hotel and he was in a state of great Indignation It seems that he had been thrown out by one of the big candy makers. He was boiling with rage because the dealer who had so treated him had been using glucose for a year or more and in large quantities and he could not understand the change in his atti- tude.
 While the two were talking the candy maker came into the hotel, walked up to them, smiled at the glu- cose salesman and said: When I threw you out this morning my store was full of customers and wasn't talk ing any chances on some one Of them not knowing you and your business. I wouldn't have 1t known that am us- iHB gOuI BLuCOsS TOT HI the prOlt that's In 1t. Never come to my store again. Let me know that you are here and I'll call on you. Send me ten bar rels at once. And now let's go take 8 drink"
 The other yarn was about a New York concern. A grocery house had purchased ten barrels of glucose. As an experiment they fitted up a top floor as a honey factory. First they had the floor concreted. then they poured in the glucose and on the top of 1t fioated a number of very thin boards pierced with holes like a col ander. Several hundred bees were then turned loose in the room. They. alighted on the boards and their weight was sufficient to bring up the glucose through the holes in the. boards. Hives had been prepared around the room and when the bees, were surfeited they went into the. hives and stored the honey. It was. pure honey" and. according to the. salesman. was sold as such.

OLIVE VAIL DOESN'T
 CARE ID BE STAR

Doing straight dramatic work there's no money unless you're a star or featured You've got to be known and your name has got to be worth something to the manager in order to get anything like what you would make in musical comedy"
 Would you care to do dramatic work if you would be starred?" came the rather insane question.
 Who would not?''
 Miss Vail. it transpired, would not, I wouldn't be a star" she said, an- nointing her lips generously with rouge. I'd love to have a good part in some company with a splendid company with good star, if there was money in it, but that is ak would do. This business of being starred isn't what it looks to be, you're always on parade, so as to speak. If you are noted for a beautiful mouth you must always keep your mouth in one position for fear that a representative of the press, most likely, would see you when you re- faxed il and put into cold, hard print what a horrid mouth you had when nobody was looking Then you are always under a strain. If you have made a hit one night by some little unconscious act-the lifting of an eyebrow! or something of the kind-you have al- ways 10 remember that Then no matter how you really may be feel ing you must always appear to feel the same when you are starring in a play. Perhaps you are Tiotously happy over a perfectly good new baby that has come to your brothers house and you want to squeal and talk baby talk and make donkeys on your fingers. but you cant do it, Have to go on the stage in a Vampire makeup and do the misery act to a three hour misery of an audience who have come to have their feelings Tacked or vice versa Somebody's dead or your gold watch has been stolen and you don't want anything on earth so much as to be able to get of into a cOfneT by yourself and weep, and into a little frivolous white doll and 10 flirt around and talk nonsense. None of that for mine. I prefer musical comedy where have a good part but where am not so much af- ter all Do you get the .point?" Whether one did or not. Miss Vail could not wait to see. but was gone in a jiny and the dressing room thereof knew her no more. Miss Nobody from Stariand" will appear here at the Orpheum soon

Day by day has Dr. Anderson de- tailed his journey. Of the entire first year spent In the north his report says nothing. the letter he had sent out earlier on one of the two occasions word was received from the adven- turers being sufficient in his opinion to cover that period. Of the second year. when the provisions taken north by the party had either been eaten or stolen by the bears and wolverines. he says but little more.
 At the end of their trip, when death and starvation stared them in the face, they stumbled across the carcass of bowhead whale. Dr. Anderson. writ. Ing of the find, said, ''The carcass was evidently two or three years old, but the meat was fairly well preserved" |" Although 1t was still early in the aft ernoon the party camped immediately and there dogs and men feasted side by side. The meat" wrote pr. An derson, was fairly palatable, slightly acrid but not offensive and all in all was very filling"
 At the conclusion of their letters both Mir. Stefansson and Dr. Ander- son express themselves as being de sirous of returning again to the coun- try in which they spent two such ter rible years to complete the work they started.
 The first specimens gathered by Mir. Stefansson and Dr. Anderson have ar rived at the Museum of Natural His tory. The men will reach New York in the near future.

PROBING PROFITS
 OF THE PACKERS
An Investigation Which the Cattlemen Want
 Made

CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 4--Inquiry in 10 the Chicago packing house profits by the department of commerce and labor urged by cattle growers of the southwest proves to be upon lines calculated to lay bare to producers and consumers the details of the growth of the Armour, Swift, and Morris fortunes that disagree with the avowed g per cent on sales. :" The inquiry which will be urged upon the next congress will be one design ed to probe deeper than heretofore.
 The executive committee of the Cattle Raisers' association has recon mended an investigation which shall open up the phases of the packers business, and has recommended municipal abattoirs, like that success fully tried in Paris. Texas. as profit able enterprises. The glare of contin- pons publicity was urged ito obtain and publish regularly once a month full and complete statistics showing as far as possible as follows: (a) the price and especially the average cost price paid by the beef packers at the various large slaughtering markets of the country, for at least two grades Of beef cattle. (b) The cost to pack CTS of all actual packing house ex- nenses. together with the different items thereof, paid out by them from the time they buy cattle, in preparing them for market. until they sell the dressed beef. (c) The price at which they sell such dressed meats and all dressed meats. (d) And the price which the retailers to whom said beef is sold, charges to the consuming pub lie for the different classes and grades of the same at several of the leading populous cities of the coun- try.
 The cattle raisers declared: That we believe that it is possible under tits present authority, for the bureau of commerce and labor to procure this information from the various packers, distributing agencies and re- tailers throughout the country: but if it is found that no department of the government has authority to ob- tain this information and is unable to do so under the present laws, then We urge upon our representatives in congress that they endeavor to have such laws or rules and regulations enacted or adopted as will give such power and authority

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession of a piece of
wire of considerable length and never
having seen wire before he asked
Professor Mcmillan of the Peary north
pole expedition what 1t was and what
It was for. He was told that the
white man strung II en- poles stuck In
the ground and voice talking to an
instrument at one end could be heard
at the other end. After some search
the next morning the Eskimo was
found to be engaged In telephone con-
struction work of his own. He stuck
some sticks in the ground and hung
his wire on them He held one end Of
the wire in his mouth and talked to
It at the top Of his voice Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire In his ear with
the expectation Of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend

became involved in an alteration
with large, rude person of sudden
manners, who kicked him out Of the
house and down the street. While he
was being kicked along the sidewalk
the young man exclaimed;
"Sir, you are heaping indignlties

"How's that?" demanded the large
person with the lively foot.
Because everybody who see. us
