that he regretted exceedingly. In
fact. he was mighty hard up right
now and pretty much in difficulties
', all around. In the end he so worked
on the mans feelings that he took
out Fields bill, receipted it. and
/ handed it over to him.
This was all very nice. but the
poet, thinking rapidly. wondered
how he was ever going to get the
| man now to set 'em up. But his
ingenious brain did not fail him.
Turning to the kind-hearted proprie-
tor he said, You know never re-
ceived a receipt for as big bill as
this i'll my life that the man who
gave it didn't set 'em up." Need
less to say. the setting up was
done and Field won his bet.
Money matters were always with
him a touch and go proposition. He
often forgot to pay his debts. and
the only way his friends could get
back at him was by borrowing from
him as much as they had lent His
pOcket-book was open to them if it
had anything in it. After leaving
the University in his Junior year. he
Went abroad spending his time and

His brother-in-law, Ed COmstock. ac-
companied him on this trip ana to-
gether they spent all their combined
available funds. They arrived in
New York on their return absolutely
penniless and Field immediately set
10 work writing story about their
experiences to raise enough money
TO take them safely home. Accord
ing to Mr.. ComstOck. living was
pretty hard for few days till the
check for the work came in. but the
hundred dollars which il brought
was enough to complete the journey
home.
4 wonderfully peculiar. intensely
interesting paradox was this scape-
goat poet of the heart whom every
body liked-for in spite of his mis-
Chief-lOving soul he was welcomed
everywhere. He knew human ma
ture and what would appeal to it,
and seemed perfectly conscious of
his powers. He remarked at one
time. II must go and write some
more sobby stuff to make the women
cry"
While at the University he was
not considered especially bright. In
fact he was mostly looked upon as a
troublesome boy. He did, however,
write some dOggerel, college songs
and other things of like nature as a
fOretaste of the work he was to do
later on in life. One little poem.
Walking with Mary" was inspired
by the pleasure of some strOlls he
was wont to take with Miss Mary
Read. daughter of the President of
the University. This particular walk
was from the far northeast corner
of the campus, across the rustic
bridge which then spanned the little
stream, and up by where the presi-
dents house now stands. The cir
under which some of his
poems We're written add to them a
new meaning. His little boy was ac-
customed to keep his toys in GER
tain closet. and after the death of
thelad his mother had turned the
key III the lock, leaving everything
just as the tiny hands had dropped
them. She had never been able to
open the place afterwards herself.

Ernest Slenter, of the Idaho as- sociation. has novel scheme whereby he hopes to secure a more regular supply of water for Lis around at the head of Flat creek. Mir. Sleuter's idea is to tap a supply of water from a contact during the winter. He will keep the water flowing by means of artificial heat, allowing it to spread over the ground below and there freeze. This operation could be continued all winter, and iu the spring the ice would slowly melt and thus 8 supply of water for early sluicing might be obtained.

They had never seen sugar cane be-

expressed desire to try some OF 1t.
Accordingly they were provided with
knives and invited to get busy. Wnlcn
they did in way that emphasized
their ignorance of this Southern del
icacy and furnished their compan-
ions in the party no little astonish-
ment. Instead of peeling the cane
and letting the juice joyously trickle
down their throats and outside their
mouths as they mashed it between
firm Jaws they set in on the fodder
and were doing their best at chewing
if when told of their mistake.
The gentlemen saw many otneT
things that were new to them, ana

as one of pleasure.
