Present Occupant.

Valcoulon Ellicott, the Princeton
sophomore, who now occupies Ne.
IN Witherspoon Hall, did not know
when he got it that it was historic.
When he put black coat of paint on
the mantel and puttiel up its various
carvings of initials and records of ath-
letic feats, he feared he covered up the
initials of CT w. W." for it was as
"Fommy" Wilson that the President
elect was known in his college days.
1t is said he later dropped the lirst
name so as to have name of thirteen
letters, because he believed thirteen n
lucky number.
No initials can be found, however,
that mark the one-time presence Of
Wilson, the undergraduate. College
flags and decorations of another age
adorn the walls, but above the study
desk is campaign drawing Of Wood
row Wilson with his signature on it.
Never Dreamed of Presidency.

dreamed, said EIicott today, as he
showed his room TO a number of Wis

studied there ould hang some day a

friend OF Mrs. Wilson and was the

ing Room.
We stopped at Lubin for supper. The
guard unlocked our car, opened the
door and pointed to the station. where
we found a monster eating room: with
huge lunch counters on either side and
long rows of tables down the middle.
Everybody was standing up. There
were no seats anywhere. Hot soft
drinks were served at the side counters
and smoking coffee and tall glasses of
hot, clear tea. The Russian swallows
only hot drinks and eats only hot foods
On the center tables. set above spirit
lamps. were hot dishes with big metal
covers. There were glasses Of hot
drink for a few kopecks, which the
Russian pourS down all at once.
Taking a plate from a pile standing
ready, you help yourself to what vic
tuals you choose. There were hot
doughnuts with hashed meat inside.
hot apple dumplings, hot juicy steaks.
hot stews, hot fish-all hot When
you have eaten your fill you pay your
bill at counter near the entrance, ac-
cording TO your own reckoning. The
Russian is honest in little things, and
nobody doubts your word or questions
the correctness of your payment The
eating room was full of big, tall, ro-
bust, fair haired. blue eyed men and
few women. The Russian is big him
self. he likes big things. he thinks on
big lines, he sees with wide vision-too
wide almost to be practical. Hanging

The Ns::.- Of Hotel Keepers.

The playground of Europe" is the
very appropriate name bestowed upon
Switzerland. In the summer time
tourists come from all parts of the
world and fill the notes.-the best or
ganized and best kept of any in the
world-for the Swiss are nation of
hotel keepers. The statement Of the
Chocolate Soldier, the hero of Bern
ard Shaw's Arms and the Man" that
his family has home with three hun
dred rooms, fifty servants, twenty
cows and so on, sounded like a baro-
NAL tale until he explained that he
was the son Of a Swiss hotel keeper.
Now the long and severe Swiss win
ter has been turned to advantage,
and even when the great, blue lakes
are frozen and the snow nantes the
lower hills, the tourist still raves
over the varied beauties and grandeur
of the Swiss scenery and the many
delights of her mountain hostelries.-

Boundary Line.

BOUNDARY Llnes
From a point near the mouth of the
Miami river extends northwest through
Indiana a boundary known as the 10
O'Clock line" This IS one limit of an
Indian grant When the tribe had
agreed to cede portion Of its terri
tory to the whites a meeting was held
for the purpose of marking out the
ground. A surveyor was present and
had mounted his compass and tele-
scope on tripod.
The head man of the tribe went up
to the instruments. stared steadily at
them FOR awhile. grunted and returned
TO the circle about the council fire. Not
word was spoken by any one. Soon
another Indian arose, walked sedately
to the instruments, gravely examined
them. grunted and returned to his
place by the fire. This example was
followed by half dozen others. after
which short consultation ensued
The chief then approached the white
men THAT what Indian know" he
said, drawing a small circle on the
ground with a stick; that what white
man know" drawing a larger circle
round the first; this what nobody
know" he added, pointing to what lay

After long consultation it was decid

and the Indians keeping that on the
