A TRYING ORDEAL,
HOW A COLLEGE STUDENT SUPPED
WITH THE PRESIDENT.
The Itoyii ItJ tho Jlrtirfot of Ono of
th Faculty A N'leo Young Man Caught
In u Tru ISeforu I lie I-'uculty -The lt-tiiu-iui
nt of Torture.
Iii tho early years of this century, when
log houses were good enough for tho averago
(bfirgiaii, a certain dix.-tor presided over
1'rauklin college.
The simple habits of their dignified sires
ili I not prevent the lioys of those days from
having their fun indeed, they carried on an
iiiiioiHit of devilment which the-collego boys
of these timcH would consider respectable.
Tho boys thought that anything was fair
which would make oneof tho faculty tho vic
tim of a joke, and on one oceusion they laid
a dark plot to rob the doctor's jioultry yard
and afterwurd celebrate tho event by a mid
night banquet.
Tho doctor's chickens were tho prido of his
domestic establishment, and ho had built for
tiieir accommodation a log house. Tho logs
were "notched down" at tho corners and held
iu place by their own weight and the roof.
At a lute hour the boys repaired to the hen
house, armed with a fence rail. It was an
easy matter to insert tho rail lietween two
log:i riii 1 prize up those ulxive, so aa to make
an fiiM-ning through which a man could crawL
A dapper young fellow, who had visited the
doctor's daughter, went in ami began to pull
the chickens off tho roost and wring their
necks. While ho did so tho boys outside kept
their weight 011 tho rail, and so kept the
crack open for his escape. Tho nice young
iimn, whom we will call Bob, had dropjied
about a dozen chickens outside, and the
whole crowd was in high glee over the pros
pective banquet.
DANGER AT II AND.
Just then a b'ig, old rooster crowotL
"Look out, Bob; break that rooster's neck
and stop his noiso."
"Sh! Whut'sthatr
There was a low growl.
"Boys, you have let these logs down too
low; lift tiretn a little so I can get out. Bo
quick about it."
At that instant there was a loud bark and
a big dog bounded into the ioultry yard.
Tiio boys on the outside for an instant stood
their ground. They dropped the rail and
t hey grabbed chauco weapons to leat off the
dog, but before they could disable him the
door of the doctor's residence opened and Lis
ta.il figure appeared. Tho boys scattered, all
but one.
Tho logs had como together again and
Hob was a prisoner. He crouched in a cor
ner and held his breath, hoping that he would
be overlooked, but the dog told where ho was.
Bj- this time tho doctor had como up and
other members of the family came out, eager
to ;:ee who was caught in the man trap.
"Why, it".s Bob."
"Who would have thought it?" Tho ex
clamations were heard in tho houso and
echoed by the young ladies. Thcii tho door
of tho log house was opened anil the young
man was sent to the dormitory. lie was
called before the faculty the next morning.
Tho poor fellow would liavo sold himself for
a song, and expectod to bo peremptorily ex

THE DOCTOP.'S CONCLUSIONS.
ITeantinio the doctor had thought tho mat
ter over. Ho was a man cf great sagacity in
t'10 management- of bo3rs, and ho recognize.!
this freak as a. piece of wild mischief which
might not be meanness. He resolved to give
the matter such disposition as would put a
sober head on tho young man. Accordingly,
when Bcb appeared, looking liko a criminal,
the doctor lectured him severely, but in n
fatherly way, and told him that such an
offenso must not go without a severe punish
ment. Bob expected the sentence of his expulsion.
With measured tones, like n judge pronounc
ing t he death sentence, tho doctor said:
".Mr. , I will expect you to take supper
with me to-night, and, as you show a fond
ness for chicken, the fowls you took off the
roost hist night will be on tho table."
Bob would rather have been expelled. But
for the distress it would cause his parents he
would have gono home. In spite of his larks
there, was good stuff in Bcb, and with a tre
mendous effort he resolved to face the musk
It is impossible to describe the mental ag
ony Bob went through that evening when he
s;it at the table where tho doctor presided
with courtly dignity.
His elegant wife could not havo been mere
courttxjus to an honored guest than sho was
to Bob, and her daughters treated the young
man as cordiully as ever. Not a word was
said aliout tho affair of the night before, but
tho la cj dish of chickens was liko a mount
ain in the jioor bo3s eyes. It was tho relino
ment of torture when tho doctor, with tho
utmost suavity, helped him to tho choicest
pieces.
The sit'.iation, which, under ordinary cir
cumstances, would have been ludicrous,
under the doctor's composure and his wife's
tcct was carried almost to tho pathetic.
It was a lesson written on Bob's memory in
burning letters, and he never forgot.it. At

After Spies in Paris.
In Taris there is a reporter who pla3's a
unique role even in French journalism. He
is the "monsieur qui suit les femmcs." And
he does it most assiduously. Once on their
track ho never takes his lynx C3"e off them.
Night and da 3-, note book in hand, he follows
them up. But not with the same object as
the male pest of tho street or the area sneak.
He is animated with nothing but the purest
patriotic motives. He is, in fact, on the look
cut for foreign spies in petticoats. Any
woman who looi;s Teutonic in appearance Li
labeled as a suspect whose movements are
closely watched and afterward recorded in
Tho Lanterne, the journal which is fortunate
enough to possess this reportorial musquito.
Up to the present he has succeeded in bag
ging two victims, whom he concluded were
emmisarjes of Bismarck in disguke, liecause
they never p.issed French soldiers without
looking at them, and kept up a nrysterious
reiationship with a "meusieur blond." The
spy mania has, therefore, advanced a stage.

sooth, they look interestingly at French sol-die-iy,

A MODOC WARRIOR TALKS.
Interrktlnc Interview With a MciuImt of
tiio Once. Famous Tribe of Indian.
The Modoc on their native lieuth wero as
determined a tribe of Indians as ever tA
temptod to remove tho dandruff from tho
heads of their white brothers. It cimt mil
lions of money and dozens of valuablo lives
to subdue them when they put on their wur
paint a few years ugo and commenci-d to
raise Cain and tho hair of tho settlers. No
trilio of equal iiumlT over cost tho govern
ment half us much troublo as tho Minim's.
The remnants of this once powerful tribe are
lieing slowly extinguished by intermarriago
and consumption on their reservation in Iy
diun territory. Two of their numlxT. Wil
liam Clinton and tho historic William Keith
full, called at our oHloo tho other da TLj
former is a bright young man, who was but
a child when his jeoplo wero wrestling
for supremacy with tho United States gov
ernment. Ho is well educated, sjieaking aud
writing the Knglish language faultles.d'.
In speaking of his peoplo he said: "There
are not many of us now, death ha ing re
duced our number to less than ninety, and in
a few -ours we will not have a living repre
sentative. The climate does not agree with
us at tho reservation and many aro slowl3'
d"ing from consumption. I believe if they
were brought back to California thoj- would
recover. I camo out hero fourteen months
ago with five of my jieople whom it was
thought would dio lieforo they reached their
old homo. Only ono died and tho other four
have entirely recovered. I am going back
to-morrow to sell off my possessions and will
return with as many of my people who aro
sick as my money will bring."
Clinton spoke with feeling, and seemed to
lie anxious that his tribe should not lieeome
extinct.
Accompanying Clinton was William
Feithfull, who said that he also was on his
way to tho Indian territory. Feithfull is
well advanced in years, and his still", wiry
hair will soon be gray. During tho Modoc
outbreak ho fought from the opening to the
close with Capt. Jack, but seems to have had
more honor and principle than that noted
leader.
Through Clinton as interpreter he spoko
froely of his part in tho war. Ho can speak
very good Knglish, but says he hates to use
the language of a race that has done him so
much wrong.
"We were being wronged," said Feithfull,
"and had to fight. Afterward we wcresorr'
wo had started on tho warpath, but were
afraid to stop, for Capt. Jack said we would
be killed anywar, and might as well dio
fighting. Lots of times some of us would go
to Jack and say that wo would fight no
more, but ho would mako a long speech, and
wo would agree to fight on. AVbcn Capt.
Jack planned to dooeivo the peace commis
sioners and murder them, 1 mado up 'my
mind to go and warn thorn, but I was
watched so closely that I could not get away.
I then sent a squaw named Toby Kiddle, and
sho wurntd Col. Meacham, but thoy believed
in Jack, and not in mo. Dr. Thomas was
killed. Col. Meacham was in Indian terri
tory afterward, and gave me $10 for saving
his life. Lots of times I could havo killed
white men, but never did. I have one squaw,
and am going homo to get her out here
where she will be happy. I havo no chil

I low Governor ' Kob " Stewart Got Even.
An old citizen, a gentleman of high social
and official standing iu St. Joseph, tells a
story of tho famous Missouri governor, Bob
Stewart, which, truo to tho letter, proves
that fact is stranger than fiction:
"I was coming up tbo Missouri river when
I was a bo-," said the ex-governor, "and I
was working my way on a steamboat. At a
point where wo had to wood up I didn't carr'
s big a load as some of the roustabouts, nor
move with that agility that tho others did,
for I was not strong, and had been tenderly
raised. Tho mate became enraged at my
slow movements on the gang plunk, and he
gave me a kick and sent me ashore and con
fiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my
parage to that point. I never saw that mate
again until I had been inaugurated ns gov
ernor of this great commonwealth of Mis
souri. "One day, wandering through the wards
and districts of the ieiiitentiar3-, I saw that
mato working at a forge. lie had been sent
there for killing, in a passion, a man under
his command. I knew him instantly, and I
directed the warden to send the man to the
gubernatorial mansion iu the garb of a gen
tleman. When tho man arrived I took him
into my private office and asked lum if he
recognised me. He replied that be did not.
Said I: 'Do you remember one time, and at
such and such a place, of kicking a boy and
sending him ashoru who had been working in
j-our gangf
"The man said: 'No, I dont remember it,
but it is very likely that I did it.'
" 'Well,' saj's I, 'I am that boy and here is
j'our pardon. I alwa-s thought I would get
even with you.'
"The tears came to the old man's eyes, and
ho said: 'Well, governor, to be a mate iu
those days a man had to be a dog.'
'"You pla-ed well your part,' I said.
'Now, leave here, and don't let me see you
again.'
"As he made his exit I gave him an able
bodied kick, and little Bob Stewart Lad got
even with that big steamboat mate.

everj- word is true, I need barely say, sir."

A Folk Lore Story.
Signor De Nino has mado another collec
tion of the folk lore stories current in the
province of Abruzzi. Among the fables are
quaint versions of some of the legends that
are the common property of the whole world.
Tho one about the creation of animals in the
Garden of Eden and the age of man bears re
peating. After the animals were created, so
the story runs, they thanked God, and asked
him what their fate was to -be. "When they
learned that they were to lalxir and suffer for
twenty 3'ears they each pra3-ed to live a
shorter time, and ten -ears were deducted in
the case of the ass, tho dog and the aj'ie.
When man was created and learned that he
was to live but twenty 3" ears, ho begged hard
for a hundred years, and finally the Creator
gave him the thirty 3"ears that the animals
just named had refused. So it comes about
that man's first twenty -ears are his happy
ones; then comes the asa' ten 'ears of labor;
domestic cares and children fill the next
period, the dog's ton years; during the di
vision that follows the children marrj- and
abandon their father, and in this way the
ape's ten 3-ears elapse. "After fifty," solili
quizes the story teller, "what more is Ijfo to
thee? He who has had, has ha,cL"'lIome
