A STRENUOUS RIDE.
V.-rj- limiting is the story of thi
•tp'nuouz ride of a tenderfoot New
York correspondent who visited
Sharon Springs recently with the
pres.dentinl party. As soon as he
mounted one of the cowboys said
“Wow!” the conductor of the fr£n
waved a red flag, .the engineer Jet
out a squirt of steam, aria, the cor
respondent went through Sharon
Springs, leaving a cloud of dust be
hind him that looked like the re
mains of a cyclone. He vent
through'one fence and took the cor
ner on one bam and finally brought
up against the side of another. A
committee of villagers helped him
up, he remounted the horse, start
ed again, and the last seen of
him he was far out on the horizon,
still followed by the rolling dust
cloud. He came in later on a meek
cayuse lent to him by a friendly
cowboy, who incidentally informed
him that he had been riding the
most famous race horse of that end
of Kansas and that the horse was
trained to run when the reins were
pulled tight and stop only when
they were slackened.—Argonaut.
What Wearies a College President
President Hadley of Yale, writing
in the Youth’s Companion on the
work of a college'president, tells of
the deluge of letters that comes to
him. Many of the letters are of
course simply handed over to the
university secretary or treasurer.
Others contain a more personal
note. Says one correspondent:
Dear Sir—I have offered you a fair chal
lenge for a public debate with me con
cerning the method adopted in the crea
tion of the universe. I hold that It la the
duty? of the- president of Tale university
to discuss a toplo Ilka thla with every one
whd Is willing to do so* and unless you
name a time and place I shall proclaim
you recreant to your duty.
Another and younger man who is
more interested in the present than
in the past begins:
htr Blr—1 writ, to Inquire whether
your college hi compoeed of a baseball
nine.
A third correspondent says:
I feel that I have a call to preach the
gospel, and therefore If arrangements can
be made for my support I should like to
take a course of study In the Bbedleld
Scientific school.
Novel Theatrical Advertising.
American actresses are not the
only ones who know how to get their
names into the papers. A week or
■o ago Jeanne Granier took a party
in her motor car to the outskirts of
Paris. Just outside of Tonnerre a
shower fell that drenched all of
them. Mile. Granier saw her op
portunity. She sent for the village
tailor, shoemaker, milliner, hatter
and hosier and bought complete out
fits for her guests at a cost of $300
and then sent for the reporters. On
the same day an actress in Berlin
was accosted by a “Johnnie." So
distressed was she that to rid her
self of him the jumped into the
Spree. He wea so frightened that
he fainted on the spot and came to
only when sympathetic bystanders
had assured him that the lady had
awum safely totho other bank of the
river without', any more harm to'
herself than a wetting.
Net Enough to Quarter.
Senator Tillman tells of an old
darky in his employ that he once
permitted to make use of certain
land for farming purposes on condi
tion that the darky should give to
the senator one-fourth of the crop
raised.
At the harvesting of the crop the
senator wa> amazed to find that the
darky had not kept his part of the
agreement, for, whilo ho hauled
away three wagon loads of produce,
he bed not sent a single one to the
senator’s barn. Tillman called the
negro’s attention to the fact that lu
had taken the entire crop, asking:
“Now, how’s that, Zen? Wasn’t
I to receive a fourth of the crop?”
“You was, Massa Tillman, you
was,” excitedly exclaimed the darky,
“but dere’s only three loads, can,
only three loads.”
A Tramp's Hidden Treasure.
A number of young men in an
Ohio town recently thought that
they would have a good time with a
tramp if a good specimen could be
discovered. The right sort finally
came looming up out of space and
was captured. He was given a bath,
shaved, his hair was cut, and he was
then decorated with a new suit of
clothes. A fire was started, and th*
young men told the tramp that they
were going to burn his old clothes.
He had undergone the previous
painful operations with a worldly
wise smile, but at this announce
ment he began to fight. The sea
son was discovered by the police,
who found $1,400 in bills sewed in
the lining of the ragged coat
Dade* 'tim.
“My son,” said the savage bache
lor, “beware of the pretty girl at •
summer hotel who is always late for
her mesls, who keeps every one
waiting on all excursions and has no
idea of time. It is this kind of
which the wives are made who drive
men to drink.”—Exchange.

come eurly in hope of finding some

The teacher paid no attention to
them and finally dropped down on
her knees to write at the bottom of
the board. Then she heard a mut

around saw the, boys with their
heads on their desks as if in devo

shocked at their performance,
whereupon they all chanted in
