A- coLLExE BOYS NERvE.

 .'I'H give you a quarter to do it, cried one of the boys.
 As the Boston boy needed ready money, he promptly accepted the of- fer. He put his hand into the globe, caught the little fish and in a twink ling crunched it in his teeth and swa1- lowed it in triumph.
 As he took the quarter, another stu dent said: Bob, I'll give you half a dollar to eat second one" The grit ty youth instantly accepted, and seiz- ing another, a somewhat larger fish, hurriedly devoured it.
 The boys, now thoroughly aroused, kept on offering their money for en- cores until the fish supply gave out and the Bostonian had won total of $4.
