II was about to ask you whether

Why He Bolted.

At one of the London clubs ONE
evening Mr.. Montagu Williams met
Lord =, who had Just lost his IA
ther. The young lord was naturally
melancholy, and the lawyer pro-
posed visiting a theater opposite,
which proposition was accepted
There was slight fire in the thea
ter, whereupon the young lord waa
among the first to bolt, like rab-
bit" out of the building. Return
ing leisrrely to the club, Mr.. VIII
liams found there his young friend
quietly smoking a cigar.
"What on earth made you boA
that way? You seemed frightened
out Of your wits (not difficult mat
ter perhaps). Don't you know that
on such an occasion if everybody
got up and rushed out panic woult
ensue, with very likely fatal conse
ouences? Why on earth couidn'
you sit still, as ! did? There wa
nothing serious the matter" Upor
this, with the most patronizing air
the young gentleman replied, ooh
yes, that's very well for you, bu
you've not just succeeded to peer

A STUDENT JOKE.
Conspiracy Of Silence That Put th'
Professor In a Panic.


Professor In a Panic.
Professor Elias LOOMS for mang
years occupied the chair OF astrono.
nv at Yale and was the author OF
the we'll known series of mathemat-
ical text books.
Professor Loomis repeated each
year to the junior class course of
lectures on physics. The lectures
were illustrated by experiments.
and in one on compressed air he
explained the principle of the well
known air gun.
The students OF each succeeding
class as they entered the room for
this particular lecture found on the
sic of the room remote from the
platform a small target. After ex-
plainin~ fAo onoration of the gun
Prof eoln- Te in the habit

with matsenatcal accuracy in the
center of t.c b,liscye.
The 81, 3r was always ap-
plauded fa feat, but his grim
face, oeered by a tightly drawn
skin 1ment hue, never show
ed the slightest sign of qualification
or recognition of any kind. To him
it was apparently only a scientific
experiment to be exactly demon
strated.
One class Of Juniors, however,
who had learned of the immemorlal
incident from the then seniors, at
tempted a. little experiment of
their own, the subject being mathe-
matical and scientific human ma
ture.
Three puffs from the air gun, and,
although the students saw that the
bullseye was perforated as usual,
there was not a sound of applause.
Professor Loomis looked moment
at the class in a startled way, then
at the target, and then, with a de-
gree of emotion he had never be-
fore shown, exclaimed:
didn't it hit? Didn't it hit?
Didn't it hit ?"
A roar Of laughter, followed bT
even more than the usual applause,
showed the professor that he had
not lost his mathematical accuracy.

The Great Guest Comes

Before the cathedral in grandeur rose
At lngelburg where the Danube goes,
Before its forest of silver spires
Went airily up to the clouds and
fires;
Before the oak had ready a beam,
While yet the arch was stone and
dream
There where the altar was later laid,
Conrad the cobbler piled MS trade.
Doubled all day on his busy bench,
Hard at his cobbling for master and
bench,
He pounded away at the brisk rat
tat,
Shearing and shaping with pull and
pat,
Hide well hammered and pegs sent
home,
Till the shoe was fit for the pope OF
Rome.
And he sang as the threads went to
and fro;
Whether It's hidden or whether 1t
show,
Let the work be sound, for the Lord
will know"
Tall was the cobbler, and gray and
thin,
And full moon shone wnere the
hair had been,
His eyes peered out intent and afsr,
AS looking beyond the things that
are.
He walked as one who is done with
fear,
Knowing at last that God is near.
Only the half of him cobbled the
shoes;
The rest was away for the heavenly
news.
Indeed, so thin WAS the mystic screen
That parted the Unseen from the
Seen,
You could not tell from the cobbler's
theme

And they found the shop, so meager

But suddenly stopped as he twitched

MITCHELL WANTS TO QUIT OFFICE
 WITH A. f. OF 1.

Seattle, Wash, Nov 22-The final day of the American Federation of Labor convention opened with the re- port of the committee on resolutions requesting 8 federal investigation of charges that several Michigan copper companies obtained possession of land illegally. A resolution d1sposing of the split in the Brotherhood of E1ec- tricaI Workers recommended refer ence to the executive council
 The election of officers, fixed for 8 o'clock this evening, was the en- crossing topic. Second Vice-President John Mitchell announced a year ago that he wished to retire from office. When he arrived in Seattle to attend the present convention he learned that a combination of conservatives had been formed to prevent him from naming John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers, as his suc- cessor.
 Mitchell took small part in the con venticn but he campaigned for White so we'll that on Thursday night it was said he had promise of enough votes to give him control of the entire ad- ministration if he wished, including the choice of himself to succeed Sam uel Gompers.
