Any doubts that members of the business mems class at the Bir- mingham Athletic club get real work as their portion should be quickly dispelled when glimpse of the fel- lows in tho above picture is caught.

Paris.-It was o'clock in the morn
ing when two hilarious art students,
who had drunk more win girls (a light
wine) than was absolutely necessary
to quench their thirst, passed by the
deserted Halles Central Market,
where a very large trunk Of what they
termed an antediluvian pattern COM
manded their attention. They agreed
to carry the trunk some blocks away
to punish the owner for his terrible
taste"
The trunk was too heavy for them,
SO the boys decided to find out what
it contained. Cautiously they lifted
the cover, when a shock-headed man
Indignantly asked to be left alone and
slammed down the cover with bang.
The students were on the point Of
leaving when a policeman, attracted
by the noise, took the trunk dweller
to the nearest station house, where
the modern Diogenes identified him
self as Honore Leherte, eighty five
years. and said the scarcity Of homes
and his lack of money forced him to
initiate the famous cynic Of Corinth.
