"Did I ever toll you fellows of the
llttlo Joko I played on the Glee club?
No? Well, I.gucBB I'll havo to tell It
now."
Tho old grad tilted back In his chair
and wrinkled IiIh forehead romlnlBcent
ly. Ho placed his finger tips together
and gazed abstractedly at a crack In
tho mirror on the sophomore's dresser.
Suddenly ho turned to tho sophomore.
"Do you know what cow Itch Is?"
he asked.
The soph tried to look Innocent, but
the old grad only Bmlled. "I might as
well havo asked If you know your
namo, I guess," ho romarked. "Well,
It was this way. Tho Qleo club, of
which I was at that time a member,
was making a tour of several towns
In the southern part of tho state. Wo
did our best to amuso ourselves while
we were not yelling, and tho whole
affair started one day whllo wo wero
viewing tho sights In Superior, I think
It was. I was carrying a largo suit
case about with me at tho tlmo, and
whon wo paused to watch the construc
tion of tho new Bchool house then
building I set the thing down and left
It for a few minutes. "Whllo I was
gone somo vllllan stuffed several bricks
Into It. I carried those bricks around
two days before I had sense enough to
Investigate for the cause of the ex
traordinary weight of my case.
"I had some very firm suspicions as
to who had been responsible for tho
outrage and determined to get oven
as soon bb opportunity presented Itself.
That evening I wont down to the drug
store and bought some cow-Itch. I
had considerable difficulty In securing
tho stuff, but finally managed it by
nssuring tho clerk that I wanted It
for veterinary purposes. I Immediate
ly sneaked back to tho hotel and got
Frank's night-shirt Frank was the
dub's namo who had loft tho bricks
with me.
"I put jx pinch of tho stuff on tho
seam just under the arms of Frank's
shirt, and hung It back In the closet.
I was asleep when Frank came In that
night, but within five minutes after
he had turned In tho whole building
was awake. I'vo never heard such
howling since. Of course L did every
thing possible to relieve Frank, and
asked all Borts of foolish and sympa
thetic questions. Ho described the
symptoms of his attack tho best he
could between swear-words and seemed
to be In considerable pain.
"The thing left him almost as sud
denly as It had begun. Of course ho
was very relieved over this, but was
not a llttlo worried as to tho cause
of the attack. So were all of us, for
that matter. Next evening w"hen tho
same thing happened again. Frank was
tho subject of a good deal of serious
discussion. The disease, however, was
of but short duration and seemed to
leave no Borious consequences, so tho
matter of sending him back to Lincoln

was deforred.
"But the.thlng was too good to con
flno to Frank. One by one every mem
ber of tho club myself Included, of
course was Beized by tho samo mala
dy. Tho situation becamo decidedly
pressing. Something had to be done.
We consulted local doctors, but thoy
wero absolutely unable to relieve us.
They were deeply mystified Into the
bargain. Tho papers, too, finally got
hold of the matter, and we finally cut
the remainder of our dates and started
for Lincoln In a hurry.
"There was a fellow named Brown
In Lincoln at that tlmo who was an
old uni man and a graduate of Rush
Medical college, ,In, Ch.l.cago. He was
very popular with all of us, and wo de
cided that as sbon as possible after
reaching Lincoln we would visit him
In a body and get his orplnlon on our
case. So, as soon as our train got Into
town I managed to slip away from the
rest of the fellows and hunted Brown
up for a private Interview. I explained
the whole situation to him, and ho was
pretty nearly tickled to death. He
promised to keep the joko up as long
as possible and I hid In his private
office to await tho arrival of my
frlendB.
They all came up In about ten min
utes. Brown acted very glad to see
them and seemed to think thoy wepe
merely there to tell him about tho
trip. Finally, however, he turned to
one of the fellows. 'Say, Bud,' he re
marked, 'what's this I read about you
dubs being down with somo sort of
fever?"
"Well, they all -pitched In together
and began to give him their symp
toms. He acted a ood deal puzzled
at first, but finally went and got the
biggest book he could find and read
steadily for about half an hour. Then
he turned around again. Ills face was
very serious and he spoke In a tone
so grave that I could see the fellows
(shifting uneasily in their chairs. I
was peeking through the glass In the
door, you know.
"Then Brown began on them. 'Now,
Bud,' ho said slowly, 'Just about what
time does this itching sensation ap
pear?' " 'Just after retiring,' Bud answered
promptly.
" 'Urn or You say it always at
tacks you just beneath tho armpits?'
" 'Yes.'
" 'A very burning, Irritating smart,
Is it not?' Bud only groaned In reply.
"Well, Doc poked around In his
library more and then came back.
" 'What you fellows have,' ho said,
'we medical men call "Mexican itlch.
It Is really nothing serious, so far as
life or death Is concerned; but tho
worst thing about lb Is that It Is In
curable.' "Well that was a stunner and some
of tho follows pretty nearly fainted.
The Doc wasn't done, however.
" 'While no cure has as yet been
found for tho disease, means of allevi
ating its consequences have been dis
covered. I would prescribe a diet of
coffeo and eggs for a couple of weeks
and a. bath three times a day. Under
clothes must bo changed dally.'
"Well, sir, the Te"TI6ws filed down
stairs without a word. With Brown's
aid I managed to keep the symptoms
present in ovory one of thorn, and wo
had them bathing regularly three times
a day for over a week. It was easy
enough to deposit tho 'Itch' where it
could work properly when tho Doc
wont around to tho fellows' rooms to
Investigate their condition.
"Tho end of tho semester finally put
an end to tho fun. It was a good
thing for me that It did It, because I
couldn't havo kept It up much longer,
and I'd havo boon lynched sure If they
had found out tho part I played In
tho business. It was a mean affair,
anyhow. I'd advise you fellows to
leave cow-Itch alone."
