A Famous Teacher With a Wonderful
Memory.

| In the Interesting People depart
ment of the July American Magazine,
Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the
University of California, writes an ar
ticle about Prof II. Morse Stephens of
the University of California, who is one
OF the great teachers OF young men,
because he is a warm and enthusiastic
friend of so many of them He is a
professor of history Following is an
extract from President Wheeler's sketch
Of him:
"His memory of names, faces, char
aeters and occurrences is for accuracy
most unusual; it would sometimes be
a bit uneanny were it not that his gift
seems so largely the purpose of cheer
ing his fellow beings along the path
way. People like to be recognized, par.
ticularly by name; and Morse. Stephens
recognition, say of an old student, is a
very hearty affair, including the name
and generally the John or Bill OF Stub
that goes with it, There are few men
in this country who have more acquain-
tances-most of them outright friends
than Professor Stephens.
"IIe has them scattered all over the
land wherever Cornell and California
boys have gone, and wherever his own
peripateties have taken him, whether to
Boston or Sonora To be adopted by
Morse Stephens as friend means some
thing very deflnite-like being initiated
into a fraternity. II means that he
surely will let you know when he comes
to town,-not merely promise to,--and
that he will come right home and stay
with you if you have an extra bed.
But that is nothing compared with what
he is ready to do when you come his
way. When you are absent from him
you are the person and thing which
characterizes the face and fate of the
city or institution where you reside.
When such city or institution is men.
toned he commends you. One friend, as
far as Stephens Is concerned, would save
Sodom. At the club. in his rooms or in
the Grove he moves and lunches in the
midst of a plurality of the friends initi
ate. Some day there will be society
organized and called the Phi Sigma
FRIENDS of Stephensl. One reason why
they love him is that he can be counted
on to be found where they left him;
another is that he is a pretty good low
or himself"

CAUGHT THE CAPTAIN.
He Was Not on the Early Morning
Job, but the Kaiser Was.

He Was Not on the Early Morning
Job, but the Kaiser Was.
Some time ago the kaiser heard that
captain in one of the guards regi-
mepts at Potsdam had fixed the regu-
lation hour Of schooling for his men at
O'Clock in the morning. The kaiser.
though doubling the fitness of such an
early hour for the lesson and the abil-
ity of a popular young officer to keep
up to this rather exacting standard of
early rising, said nothing. but one day
walked into the barrack room at 8
O'Clock.
The captain was not there, but the
emperor showed neither annoyance nor
surprise. He asked where the lesson
was to be found in the books. and
without more ado, to the mingled anx-
iety and delight of the men, he took
the lesson in hand and explained the
passage in history which was the sub
ject of the day. 1t was nearly o'clock
when the captain showed himself. The
kaiser returned his salute and made no
allusion to his crestfallen countenance,
but handed him the lesson book after
pointing out how far the class had got
and then left the room.
Nothing more was said or heard
about the incident until a few days
later. when the captain received a
handsome alarm clock. evidently from
the kaiser. What the officer wrote in
his letter of thanks for the gift is not
orded.-"Ireland's own"
