their sons from college and made other
plans for the sons in preparatory school.
A general panic was avoided only by
clever manoeuvring on the part of few cool
heads. In the last bitter moments of the
controversy several strong arguments in re-
buttal were advanced by the investigators.
A Princeton man was discovered who
didn't like the taste of beer. Three Harvard
seniors, living in the same dormitory, testi-
fled that they wouldn't know how to build a
Martini cocktail even with all the ingredients
before them in marked bottles. A student
In the Yale Sheffield School admitted that
he had never heard of Barcardi rum -

though it represented but a small minority

It had everything except the kick, so we
proceeded to add little sugar and bottle 1t
at once. Our general idea was that the
sooner we bottled it the sooner it would be
ready for the, ice box and hence consump-
tion.
We erred, grievously and disastrously.
We have since discovered that we bottled
our brew before the primary fermentation
had ceased, which is something that Is often

He may have said more; we do not know.
We closed our window. All danger of fur
ther explosions seemed to have passed for
the moment. so we uncorked all our remain
ing bottles and emptied them into the bath

THAT's how we got even with the noise
makers in the apartment house.
Also that was the first time we
ever put beer in a bathtub. we helped fill
bathtub with champagne once. but that
was in another city. There was man who
used to come to our town every year OF so

who was great admirer OF Joel Chandler
Harris and who never failed to visit the au
thor upon each occasion.
He expressed a desire to have an auto
graphed copy of "Uncle Remus." Mr.. Harris
was told what his admirer wished and
membered it, When the Northerner came
to town the following year and called Mr.
Harris the telephone, telling him his
room number at the hotel, the author con-
cluded the conversation by saying, by the
way / am going to send something up to
you" having in mind the autographed copy
of the book. :.
Now it so happened that one of the well
known women of Atlanta, a widow, was
being married that same afternoon and she
had engaged for the ceremony a suite OF
rooms adjoining friend, from which she
had caused the furniture to be removed
and which she had had beautifully decorated
for the occasion
Not having been invited to the wedding
party we repaired to the room of our friend
at the hotel for the purpose of further ce-
menting the friendship that had grown be-
tween us. Presently two cases of cham
pagne were delivered at the ROOM The de-
livery man did not know to whom it be-
longed; he knew only that he had been di-
rected to deliver 1t to that particular room
: Our friends face beamed with delight.
Now isn't that delightful isn't that per-
feet hospitality"
Explain yourself" we said.
II know all about it now" he answered
called up Joel Chandler Harris n little
while ago and he told me he was sending m
up something, but l had no idea he was
going to make it enough champagne for n
regular party. He's what ] call real
friend"
Well we opened the two cases stacked
the bottles up in the bathtub and spent an
hour at hard labor cracking ice to pack
around them and bring them to the proper
temperature. Then we issued invitations
over the telephone. Our party to begin

it was the same hour set for the wedding of
the widow Both sets of guests were ex-
ceedngly happy. Ours, as they came In,
were permitted to tiptoe into the bathroom
and take q peek at what was in store for
them and to each was told the story of the
generosity of Mr.. Harris.
Before we had chance to start our party
there came a scurrying of feet in the hall,
whispered conferences and then somewhat
louder tones. We could catch phrases such
as "They insist they delivered It to this
floor" and ut must be here somewhere"
Finally there came a knock at the door.
"Were two cases of champagne delivered
here by mistaken" inquired the polite man
ager.
"They were delivered here, but not by mis-
take" answered our friend.

BY ToRREY FORD.

T t wasn't many years ago that a well
known name in the valve world was
spending his spare moments launching
broadsides at the American university.
Among other things this man of industry
said that the college student was drinking
himself into unutterable disgrace, that 80
per cent. of the candidates for degrees be-
longed to the drinking classes and that the
other 10 per cent. hung on the perilous
brink of an undammed flood of spirituous
liquors.
Perhaps we aren't quoting the identical
words of his heinous charge but that was
the gist Of his complaint. He storned loudly
and said that something ought to be done
about IL.
At the time the matter caused considerable
excitement. The busy business man came in
for a storm of personal criticism. Some
ridiculed him openly and suggested that he
was a mere notoriety seeker. Others chimed
in with his views and intimated that he had
emitted the proverbial mouthful. There were
even mothers who Immediately withdrew

Gone are the open bars and the openly

reformer with his hot words of rebellion.
High and dry on the shoal of forgotten

Probably after the first few weeks tie
average freshman learned to distinguish be-
tween the tap room at Heublein's and his
mediaeval history section meeting room, but
it is related that more than one absent
minded professor mistook the bar at Mory's

from "Stover at Yale" to "The Cruise of the

The awed sub-freshman, a recent graduate
