Poor Madeline threw an affrighted
look ii|ioii her husband. What in
ilia world was tile little one saying?
Wiik it the delirium attain the
fright fnl delirium which was re
turning?
lioum Bourn!
She knew not what that signified,
and she was frightened at these sin
gill nr words which the child now
repealed with a sickly obstinacy, as
if, not having dared until now to
give expression to his dream, he
clung to it with an invincible per
aistenue. “Yes, Bonn) Bourn!
Bonin Bourn! Bonin Bourn! I
want Bourn Brum!”
The mother seized Jaei|ues' hand
nervously, asking in a very low tone
like a mail woman:
“What does that mean, that
Jacques? lie is losi!"
But the father wore upon his rude
toil-staiued face a smile almost
happy and stupefied the smile of
a condemned criminal who catches
a glimpse of a chance of liberty.
Bourn Bourn!
Well did he remember that Moll
day morning of Faster when he had
taken Francis to the circus. The
child's shoals of joy were still ring
iug In his ear and his hearty laugh
st the delighted urchin, when the
olown, the superb clown, all
spangled with gold willi a great
multi colored, scintillating, brow n-
rod butterfly on the hack of bis
black costume, made a sort of gam
bol across the ring, tripped up a
groom or stood still and motionless
oil the stand with his head down
ami his feet in the air, or threw to
tile chandelier some soft hats which
he caught skillfully on his head
where they formed a pyramid one
by one, and at each jest, at cacli
trick, he uttered, like a happy re
frain lighting up his funny, ilroll
face, the same cry and repeated the
same word, accompanied at times
by a rumble from tlu< orchestra:
Bourn Bourn!
Bourn, Bourn! And every time
became out, the circus rang with
bravos, and the little fellow hurst
into his hearty laughter.
I •> am, Bourn! It was this Bonin,
Bonin, the circus clown, the fun
maker for half of the city whom
little Francis wanted to ice and
have, and w hom lie could not have,
nor see since he had lioen lying in
his little w bite bed.
That evening, Jacques l.cgraud
brought the child a jointed clown,
covered with spangles which he had
bought at a very high price on the
way. The wages ot a working man
for four days!
But he would have given the
wages of twenty, thirty or of a
whole year to bring back a smile to
the palv lips of the invalid.
.a
The child looked at the plaything
a moment, which glittered on the
white sheets, then murmured sadly:
“It is not Bonin Bonin ! I want
to see Bouin-llotim I
Ah! If Jaeipi.\ could wrap him,
in the covers and carry him to the
circus and show him the clown
dancing beneath the sparkling chan
delier and tell him: l-ook!
But Jacques did something butler,'
lie went to the circus, got the
clown's address and very timidly
with his legs shaking with excite
incut, ascended one by one the steps
which l<d to the apartment of the
artist at Mont M.-nte.

Tin: JOINT DKRATK.
The second point debate between
the I’hi Kappa and Demosthenian
societies took place last Saturday
morning, the 17th, in the I'lii Kappa
hall.
This debate was no less interest
ing than the first, and the best de
baling talent of both societies w is
brought out in both old men and
new ones.
After the societies convened, I’rof
\\\ I >. Hooper, wild had been selec
ted to preside and d- eide tile ques
tion, took the chair ami called the
joint meeting together. After a
few preliminaries the debate was
called. The question debated w is
“U-solved, That Labor Organi/.a
lions are more productive of evil
than good." Mr. Holcombe Bacon,'
of the I*11 i Kappa lead otT tile de
bate for the affirmative, and was
followed by Mr. Haskell, of the l)c
iiioslhvniaii for the negative. The
other speakers were as follows:
Affirmative, I’hi Kappa, Jackson,
Akermau, Ilofftneyer, Fuller,
Shearoiise, K/.znrd, Black, C. 11.
Smith, Lanier, Stephens. Negative
Dcmoslhciiinus, Kvals, Saunders,
Larson, Mcfiregor, Alexander.
Much discussion arose concerning,
an extension of time to those who
were to close the debate, but the
time was not extruded. McHuylon
who was to have closed for the I>e
inosihvnians, refused to speak as lie
did not believe that he could do
himself ami the subject justice in
tlie short time allowed. Mr. Steph
cns closed the debate for tile l’hi
Kappa.
I’rof. Hooper, after a careful re
view of the arguments, gave his dt
cisioii in favor of the negative. The
burden of proof was upon those of
the affirmative, and they failed to
have all that was necessary. The
I’hi Kappa society then appointed
a committee to confer with one Irom
the Demosthenian and arrange for
another joint debate.
l’rof. Charbonnier treated the
members of the Senior class to an
experimental lecture on the subject
of light, ou Thursday last.
