THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1891. COLLEGE BOY’S PRANK. ft* Roma DamrdlStndMiti Ran Loti of Van witii'lloston Policemen. “There isp’t bo much deviltry in pri vate among the students today as there was a few years ago." said a graduate of Harvard, “but their pranks in public are getting bolder os time advances. I will tell you a good story illustrative of this. During my sophomore year there was a party of eight young fellows belonging to my class who were all the time look ing for a chance to create a sensation. They bad become involved in several lit tle scrapes with the Boston police on ac count of their practical jokes, and were thirsting for revenge. One Saturday night they went to Boston, and on their arrival got shaved in a West End barber shop. “While paying their checks an idea struck one of the fellows, and after a short conference with his companions be offered the barber $10 for his red, white and bine pole, which stood about twelve feet high in front of the door. The offer was accepted on the spot, and the young men took it away with them, insisting, however, on taking a receipt, in which both the pole and the amount paid was mentioned. Then they started off for a parade of the Third police pre cinct, in which nearly all their trouble with the ‘coppers’ had been experienced. “They had not gone far before they were stopped by one of their old bine coated foes, who demanded an explana tion of their possession of t ft pole. The boys replied that it belonged to them and that they were taking it home. The officer, believing that they bad stolen it, arrested the whole party und took them to, the police station, where he charged them with the theft “At this juncture one of the students produced the receipt, and they were al lowed to depart, much to the discomfi ture of the arresting officer. Then the boys went to another policeman's beat and were soon stopped by the of that precinct, and, after a ley, which proved very unsatisfactory to the officer, the students were again ar rested, and. with" the pole. W*re marched back to' the Mattott 'house. This time they got their release from the lieutenant In charge without having to produos their. ~ “The boys started off for another offi cer’s best, taking care to keep within the same precinct, and within less than half an hour were brought back to the sta tion 1 for'at bird timo 6n suspicion of hav- imr stolen that' pole, ' The lieutenant hr-* l an officer over the precinct wil these orders to all policemen: ‘If you meet a party of eight young men with a barber's pole don't arrest them. They own it.’ "—New York Star. Loti Will Find a Way. “We hare many funny things to con tend with,” remarked a policeman near one of the ferries the other night. “A little while ago a very pretty girl of about' 17 years of age came to me and said she wanted me to arrest her father. When I arrived at the horse I found a man who proved to be the girl’s father oh the floor, and a nicely dressed young man sitting on his breast “I asked what caused the trouble. when the , young woman tpoke up and said her father bad offered to interfere with, her keeping company with the young man, and threatened to lock him out Between them they had thrown the rebellious parent on the floor, pinion ed him and then she hod hurried for police protection. I told the father to get tip nn:l then pat the bracelets on him. Then the daughter canght me around the neck and, begged me with tears running down her cheeks not to ar rest her father, and the old man said he was only in fnn. I complied.

Ilxpeditfons Set Out front the Canary Isl and* to Discover Them. Stories of legendary worlds have at all times possessed a fascination for most minds and formed the subject of much curious speculation. However childish sncli tales may seem at tho present day, “they ouce wielded sufficient sway," says M. Flamarian in his “History of the Heavens,” “over men's minds as to gain their belief in the veritable existence of the places described, and in tbis way to influence their astronomical and coemo- graphical ideas.” . Many anch legends originated when geography was in its infancy and the greater part of the world's surface still unknown. From that time, too, travel ers like Sir John Mandeville excited curiosity by relating discoveries which they professed to have made in their dis tant journeying, and which those who received them readily accepted as facts. In process of time these mythical ac counts were gradually circulated from one country to another and became in terwoven with the traditions of the people among whom they were told. Hence, in one form or another, we find in most parts of the world numerous stories of legendary worlds still csrrent, survivals of which may'be traced to the literature" of modern times. Thus, go- Ing back to early days, the poets and philosophers of Greece and Rome gave detailed accounts of the land whither mortals wend their way when this life Is over, enumerating its rivers, its lakes. Its woods and mountains. Accordingly, Ulysses was said to reach the place of the dead by crossing the ocean to the Cimmerian land, sEneas to have entered it by the .Lake Avernus, whereas Xenophon informs ns that Hercules went there by the penin sula of Arechnsaide. In early times the Canary Islands were regarded as the neighborhood of the terrestrial home of the blessed dead, and' many wonderful stories were told of this enchanted lo cality. ‘!' • 1 .

Queer rilling. There are numbers of dentists in New York who ought to be sawing wood. I had a friend tell me about a week ago of a severe pain in a tooth which he bad only recently had filled. Be argqed that it conld not be the tooth, , because he had only a few days before' eat in the den tist's chair. The dentist was unknown to him, and bad been selected because his office was next the place where my friend boards. I advised him to go to a Brat close dental practitioner, which he did. Next day he said tome: “Do yon know what was the matter with my tooth? That fellow np by my boarding honse did not clean the tooth oat before be filled it.
