SCHOOL HAPPENINGS.

unexpected quarter this morning I'd
have gone without breakfast, so give
me a job, / don't want to starVe"
This most eloquent appeal made an
impression on the editor. How did
you receive help from an unexpected
quarter" he asked.
Il found two-bits this morning" was
the answer.
"You report to me Monday morning.
You'll do" Arch picked cigar off
the editors desk and walked out.
For the first month or so he went
about with an older man to learn the
ropes. This was life. He went to
every boxing match and football game
in -Detroit, besides three or four muir
der scenes He wrote up a high
school football game so well that he
was sent to report the big game at
Hampton Academy. The young re-
porter was not very sorry about it.
Here was his home He enjoyed eve.y
second of that trip. He interviewed
all his old teammates and kindly in
formed them tLdt they would be
beaten everlastingly. Fate was kind
to Arch. Hampton did lose, $50.
Next mornings Star" had write
UP on the game. The article caused
Arch eight hours work. but he was
proud of it. Anybody could well have
been proud of it, 1t was work Of
art. Every player on the Hampton
team was inglcriously roasted, but
Coach Barker was ruined. A few days
before he had received an offer from
one of the larger universities OF the
east to coach its football team. The
offer had been published in every
newspaper. Now Arch had painted
Barker as a bluff The whole cause
OF Hampton's defeat was attributed
to Prof. Barker. Consequently his of
fer was recalled.
Next day the Office of the sporting
editor of the Detroit Star" was upset
by the arrival of dignifed professor
of science and football from Hampton
Academy Only at this time he was
not very dignified. On the contrary
he was very much excited. He howled
at the sporting editor who told him
to see the man who wrote the article
in Sunday mornings Star, against
which article the Professor seemed to
have some complaint.
Archibald Spriggins was pounding a
typewriter on a little desk at one end
of the publishing room as Prof. Bark
er approached him, and clapped his
hand on the desk, upsetting the data
on the Haryard-Princeton game. Arch
leaped up exclaiming, why, Professor
Barker, you don't know how glad l
am to see you!" But evidently Prof.
Barker did know how glad Arch was
to see him, for he slapped him in the
face. Now if there was one thing
Archibald Spriggins didn't like it was
to be slapped in the face. He resent
ed it very decidedly. But he could not
fight back. He was not of the fight
ing kind. But he had tongue and
he could use it to advantage. He de-
scribed Prof. Barker, his family, and
his school, and then Coach Barker and
his football team. His fluent deecrip-
tions were not only heard by the Pro
lessor, but the whole office force had
gathered around. Barker barked, and
backed out.

Make Odd Collections.

The eccentricities of collectors make
amusing reading. Kate Vaughan, the
famous English dancer, used TO collect
penny toys. Small cannon had an at
traction for Lord Powerscourt, while
Miss Rothschild had a partiality for
pipes. Dolls, wOnen's stockings, hang
mans ropes, and instruments of tor
ture fascinate some collectors, while
others spend time and money in ac-
curing royal relics-the handkerchief
