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.

In form, in the softness of Its plumage, the expression of Its large dark ayes and Its gentle, confiding ways. There Is no wild affright as the stranger ap proaches. Just a shadow of fear Is evi dent but the birds sit quietly on their nests, hoping and trusting, and do not fly unless approached almost within arm’s roach. Then they flit gently away, alighting upon a neighboring bush until the Intruder has withdrawn, when they return directly to their charge. It seemed remarkable to find birds so perfectly tame.—Outing. A LITTLE NONSENSE.
