OF Course He Wants Money.

A German professor in whose fam
lily young Englishman was living
when the war broke out has now sent
to the boys father a bill which the
London papers find amusing. The stu
dents departure, on the outbreak Of
hostiltles, was hurried, as can be
imagined, and he was for long quite
busy as a soldier and officer fighting
Germans. Now his proud parent Is re-
minded that not only did the boy owe
something for board when he went
away. but that he had made what Gus
tom counted contract to continue
boarding till the end OF the scholastic
half year. Also, he requested to remit
English money, which the German pro-
lessor prefers. evidently, to that Of his
own country.
The episode is not quite as funny as
the London papers seem to think II Is,
for lodging and board received do ere

pense for the broken contract is naive
