 Nathaniel Letton was talking when the door opened; he ceased, and with his two companions gszed with con trolled perturbation at Burning Day light striding into the room The free, swinging movements of the trailyray. aler were uncOnsciously exaggerated in that stride of his Tn truth, it seemed to him that he felt the trail beneath hls feet.
 "Howdy. gentlemen, howdy,' be re- marked. ignoring the unnatural calm with which they greeted his entrance. He shook hands with them in turn, stridlug from one To another and grip ping their hands so heartily that Ma thsniel LettoB could not forbear to vince Daylight flung himself into a massive chair and sprawled laz!ly, with an appearance of fatigue. The leather grip he had brought into the room he dropped careIessly beside him on the floor

 His hands emerged. cIutehing a great mass Of stubs. check-books, and brokers receipts. These he depos- tied in 2 heap on the big table. and dipping again, he fished out the strag glers and added them 10 the pile. He consulted a slip Of paper, drawn from his coat pocket and read aloud:
 "Ten million twenty-seven thousand and forty-two dollars and sIxty-eight cents is my Hgurin' on my expense. Of course that-alrs taken from the winnings hefore veal get to fgurin' on the whack-up. Where's your hg- uresg l. must a been a mighty big clean-pp"
 The three men looked their bepuz- clement at one another. The man was bigger fool than they had imagin- sd. or else he was playing a game which they could not divine. .
 Nathaniel Letton moistened his lips snd spoke up.

 William Wheeler claims the dis tinction of having the champion egg laying hen in Ohio. Last week the hen broke all previous records, states Wheeler, when she laid eight eggs in one day. This is how the hen was uveigled into the egg laying race. A nest with false bottom was plac- ed al the hens disposal Each time s-e laid an egg Whee en pulled a string which in turn pulled a slide allowing the egg to drop from y.ew. The hen would look around for the egg for a moment, further stated Wheeler, and not finding it would lay another The trick work cd beautifully until the eighth csgs when the hen. becoming disgusted, jumped from the nest cackling as if from anger

A Fresh-Water College.

Even in it's early days at Hudson when
it was what DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes
called .'one of those little fresh-water
colleges Western Reserve was famous
for its standard of scholarship, and its
entrance requirements and examinations
were as severe as those of any institution
in the country. 1t used to be the source
Of immense qualification to the students
to point out the large number of MEM
bers OF the faculty at Yale who We're
Western Reserve alumni. 1t was called
a Kindergarten for the faculty OF Yale,
and some of the most eminent men in
the Yale faculty have been graduates of
Western Reserve. During the period that
the college was at Hudson il turned out
more distinguished men than any other
institution of its siZe-scientiStS, jurists,
statesmen, educators, clergymen, mission
aries. senator's, governors, members OF
the House of Representatives, Journalists,
physicians and members OF other learned
professions.
No educational institution in the coun-
try for its numbers furnished so many
soldiers for the Union army, and its stu
dents and graduates were to be found
in all ranks from privates up to major
generals. /, may be said, also. that no
college has contributed so many men to
the pulpit in proportion to its numbers,
thus vindicating the purpose for which
it was founded. The charter tells us
that Western Reserve was intended to
educate pious and INDECENT young men
for the Christian ministry, and the motto
upon the coat of arms is Christie ct &c
clesiae.
students who have left Western Re-
serve for other institutions. which was
more common in ancient days than now.
invariably took high rank among their
new associates. Old grads of the sixties
will tell Sou of student who stood
about the middle of his class at Western
