STUNG
Bye College Students
By AGNES L. BOYD

Two young men stood on the plat
form Of a railway station waiting foI
a train. At the other end were three
young ladies also ready for departure.
Now, the two men were college stu
dents, and if there is anything else in
the world like a college student it has
not yet shown itself. The collegian is
unique. He usually looks like a man.
but when sifted down is three out of
four parts boy. If he would take as
much pains in his studies as in the
invention of pranks he would be learn.
ed indeed. Usually his studies don't
interest him, while his pranks are his
delight.
These two young gentlemen IN the
platform were eying the girls at the
other end. Then one said something
to the other, the other replied, and
when the train came along the one
took hold Of the others arm and, guild
ing his friend, entered the same car as
the young ladies. The latter turned a
seat, and the three girls sat down to-
gether. The student led his friend to
the seats occupied by the girls and,
lifting his hat politely and pointing to
the one vacant seat, said:
MAY I beg a seat for my friend,
who is blind?"
The expression on the girls faces as
they looked up changed from irritation
at having a stranger thrust among
them to pity. One girl moved aside
and the blind man was guided into the
vacant seat by his friend.
"This is no intrusion upon your con.
1dences," said the latter, ''for the
gentleman is not only stone blind, but
a deaf mute. He can neither see, hear
nor talk"
Having said this and thanked the
girls for their courtesy, he took a seat
in another part Of the car, drew a
newspaper from his pocket and began
to read.
What the girls had to say to one an.
other was Of little Importance com
pared with their interest in this nice
looking, we'll dressed young man, who
necessarily lived in a world by himself
There was a sweet melancholy hook on
his face as Of one born to sorrow. Not
withstanding that the young ladies' had
been told they could converse nea
him without being overheard, for g
time they refrained from extraordina
ry conversation or remarking upon
him; but, since he continued to look
straight ahead Of him into vacancy
they grew careless and began to say
things about him to one another.
"Poor fellow"
Handsome, isn't he"

faculties wanting. which prevent

Edward was showing Miss Brown
how well he could draw a COW. AS he
drew he glanced from time to time at
a cow grazing in a near by yard.
"This is her nose," he said. drawing
a curved line.
Here's her BODY" he explained, and,
after a look at his model. he added an
other curved line.
"Now, here's her TAIL" and he placed
a curved line opposite the so called
nose.

for inspection IN embarrassed smile
spread over his countenance.

"Diyine!"

who was n of the greatest scamps of
his college: but. summoning all his will

The girls grew holder.

"Of course not. How should he know
anything about girls when he has
never seen n or heard one speak?'
At that moment the conductor, COM
ing through the train for tickets, took
two from the blind mans friend.
When he had passed one of the girls
remarked.
did you see the other give up this
one ticket? 1t wouldn't be any use
Tor the conductor to ask for it. The
poor fellow wouldn't hear"
THE conductor might poke him.

Don't be silly"
"Wouldn't it be fun to kiss him, he

"1n the train?"
Certainly not; in a house,"
"You wouldn't dare"
II bet l would"
Meanwhile the blind deaf mute star
ed straight ahead Of him, turning nei-
Their to the right o to the left, main
tanning that same sad expression Of
countenance, though the last remarks
were we'll nigh too much for him. For
tunately a trainman called his station.
and this helped him to keep a straight
face His friend got up, came to
where he was sitting, jabbed him in
the ribs with his cane to attract his at

really to suppress a laugh-and the
girls looked daggers at the cruel young
pilot.
"I'd like to stick a pin in him. said
one.
Hes a brute,'' chimed another.
The young men left the train and
passed the window where the girls sat.
The former were chatting glibly, and
both cast admiring glances at their
victims.
Girls. we've been stung."

"You made a ninny of yourself;
that's all. I'm ashamed of you"

Then the train moved on. The girls
looked very angry. Then the corners
of the mouth Of one began to quirk
up. Another followed till they all broke
into a laugh.

Washington-In a recent issue of the

Egan, the following article, in part, is
printed under the caption, Adopts A.

man Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, pre-
sented to congress a huge petition
signed by 1862 individuals favoring
constitutional amendment enabling
women to vote on the same terms as
men. The petitions have been circu-
lated by the national Office of the So
cialist party under the immediate
charge of the Socialist women's national
committee. According to the National
Socialist Press, the petitioners are
men and women in all walks of life, and
of different political shades and beliefs.
The petition is a good piece of propa-
ganda, and will result in calling atten-
ton to this question as never before.
These tactics are the same as used by
the American Federation of Labor, and
which is denounced as a begging pol
icy by the very men who now use them

Bourne Parcel Post RiII.

Washington-Efforts are being made
TO secure the passage of the parcel post
Dill recently introduced by Senator
Bourne of Oregon. 1t is understood that
President Taft and Postmaster General
Hitchcock are in favor of this measure
1t is claimed by those who favor the
bill that it is the most scientific and
businesslike plan yet devised for a par
Gel post. Six zones of distance are pro-
vided by the bill. ranging from fifty to
1000 miles. The rate of delivery within
the first one is six cents for the first
pound and two cents for each additional
pound. The rates increase for each ad-
ditional zone until in the sixth zone they
reach a maximum OF twelve cents a
pound, which is the rate now charged
by the international parcels post. 1t is
provided that distinctive stamps will be
used for the postage on parcels post
matter, so that an accounting of receipts
from that service may be more accur-
ately kept. The chief opposition to the
parcels post, it is stated, comes from
the country merchant, but it is argued
that it would eventually help him, for
he will undoubtedly profit by the gen.
eral business stimulus created by the
measure.
