SHOWING HIM THE CITY.
Boston Young Man Proved Poor Guide , '
for Friend.
Edward Farmer of Boston sat In an
electric car the other day behind two
y 'oung men. One of the young men
writs a Bostonian and the other was a
\'Isltor from the West. The former
was showing the city to the latter.
As the cay glided past CopIer'
square , the Bostonian pointed out the
plain and massive building ot the pub.
IIc library to his friend
As most of the world knows , the
Ileolle ) of Boston , when they bunt this
library out of the municipal funds , resolved -
solved tu maim It the show place of
New ngland They carried out their
resolution well , and the beautiful ,
costly building , with Its excellent ar' ,
'hltccture and Its decorations by Sar- I I
gent Puvls de Chnvanl1es and Abbey ,
is ! studied and admIred by visitors
from all parts of the globe
"There , " said the young Bostonian ,
"Is the public lIbrar ) ' . I guess you've
often heard at that. "
The other looked at the library and
nodded his head In approbl\tlon.
1"I11e , " he said "Did Carnegie give
It ? "
The Bostonian hesitated. I
"I don't know , " ho said "I'm not
t
quite sure whether Carnegie gave It
01' not. Come to thlnlc at it . though ,
I believe hc dll1. Yes , ho did. Carr
!
negle gave It , " '
1'011' Farmer smiled , but said nothing :

Interruption That Put Stop to Fun 0' f
Hazing Party.
, Jesse Lynch Williams , who has writ-
ten some delightful stories of student
lICe at Princeton and who has lived ,
there since his graduation from the a , '
university , is a very youthful looking
man , with a frank , boyIsh face and
slender figure that do not betray the
dignified paternity of three fine boys '
. . . . . .
Early In the autumn , just after college . .
had opened , he was crossing the camPus . ,
Pus one nlominB , when a party ot (
sophomores suddenly surrounded him. ,
"Sto ' ! " commanded one.
1\11' Willlnms stopped. ,
"Tale off that hat ! " said another.
The hat came off. ; ,
"What do you mean by wearing a
slit hat here ? " demanded another.
"Put It down. "
The hat was laid aside
"Now wall over to that tree and
stand there till we tell you to- "
But the hazing got no further , tor
\11 older student came along just then 'J. .
and recognized 1\11' WIl1Iams
"What the deuce do you fellows
mean ? " he asIted. "Don't you know
an old grad when you see one ? " and
the wise sophs melted among the trees
In the heat of their woeful apologies.
