I A number of University students were congregated upon the porch of their rooming-house one evening re cently, nnd were singing familiar airs, when a rather peculiar Incident hap pened. They had Just finished Ringing "Way down upon the Swanee River." and were starting on 'Dixie Land," when an old man In working clotheB was observed to be standing on the wnlk listening to them. They pro ceeded with the song and presently he approached the house and took off his hat At first there was a disposition to lnugh. and the singing ceased. For a moment he stood there In silence, and then he said: "I'm glad to hear you sing those songs. They are the ones I used to sing In my college days, and now they recall pleasant memories to me. Can you sing 'My Old Kentucky Home?' " One mombcr of the party tried It. but encountered dif ficulties before he had gone very far; but greatly to the surprise of all. the old man took up the song and finished it In excellent shape. By the time he df parted ehe critical attitude of the company had disappeared, and he had galiud the sympathy of all. The Kluffer sat chewing the rubber tip of his pencil, which was a sure sign that sad emotions had penetrated the hidden recesses of hlB manly spirit. Somewhere In the depths of his system a actions feeling -or unpleasantness had ensconed Itself, and tenaciously maintained its grip, despite his efforts to shake It. Well might he be sad. The tlmo for examinations and their attendant terrors was approaching the time when professors devise mental tortures for their subjects and watch them die by slow degrees. Already he gnw the hand of Fate tracing on the wall the most depraved and villainous ly momentous of all words namely, Failure " He had not been diligent In his studies, and now he felt remorse chewing away on his vitals with bale ful persistency The golden moments of opportunity had sped away unheeded and all his chances for mental Improve ment and humanizing achlevments had slipped away like the funds of the acutely business like woman In a 49 cent bargain store. His thirst for knowledge hnd been quickly sated, and he had no high Ideals to guide his foot Htens into the oaths of learning. He had not "come to enjoy his studies;" for he was only human. His afreet ion for his professors hod long Blnce passed through the zero point and was mak ing terrifllc progress toward minus in finity. He had acquired aA liking for the company of falHC-hearted maidens, who, delighting In frozen compounds and the attractions of the opera, dimin ished his revenus until he was Insolv ent, and then coldly abandoned him to work out his destiny Many things had claimed his attention, and his les sons had become a grevlous imposi tion upon his time and patience. Mon day was one of the days upon which he especially disliked to study. The others were Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. His pro fessors were atrociously Impertinent In their warnings of what was In store for him. He dismally strove to picture the future, and then closed his eyes to shut nut the Hitrht. Before him was a bed of blazing, glowing coals. They were very warm. He Bhuddereu as ne thought of his approaching doom, and strove to find comfort by trying not to think of it. Great Indeed 1b the re morse of the offended, when certain punishment 1b In Btore for him. "The stingiest man I know of," said the talkative student, "Is one whose martial spirit Is always attracted by Salvation Army music; yet he always stands on the opposite side of the street, so he won t have to coninuuie when they take up the collection." The knowing student smiled sarcastically. "That man," he said, "was liberal be side one fellow I knew, who bought a Sombrero and then offered it to his girl for half-price."
