Continued from pago 1.)
ecout" on
servant for bov-
furnlturo was genuinely antique, and
ovon somewhat dilapidated.
He' Feela Rich.
Tho first thing was to got tho first
quartorly Installment of 76, or 37B.
It mado James fool rich. Next ho saw
tho Bursar. That gontloman oxtractr
od 5 for collogo matriculation and
35 for tho furniture In tho room.
Jamos now owned tho chattels In tho
room, but ho had an ompty feollng
whoro $200 had boon. Ho did not feel
bo rich.
At lunch that day tho
that stair (scout. 1. o
oral mon) gavo him a liBt of goods
ho would require tablo and bod
ohambor linen, allvorwaro and cutlery,
diBhoB, coal hod, pokor, otc. James
sought tho City Drapery, whoro, in
company with a hordo of other
"freshers" oqually Ignorant of values,
ho bought tho first thing offered.
JamoB did what thoy did not. Ho
paid caBh. Later ho found that ho had
paid cash on tho baalB of tho credit
prico. Ho now knows how to frown
and to aak In an aggrlovod tone, what
discount for cash. That is, ho does
thla when ho haB caBh. Well, this cost
him $10.
Other Essentials.
HiB "scout" had promlaod to lay in
a supply of bucIi things "bb young
gontlomon noodB, Blr." Ho found
among others, "clga," tobacco, a soda
syphon, whiskey, and a pot of marma
lade. Ho nolthor smoked nor drank,
and ho soon found ho did not liko mar
malade Ho noedod them for hospltal
lty's sake, ho was told.
Tho next ovenlng ho was asked to
Join tho St. AmbroBo Amalgamated
Athletic Club. It was practically com
pulsory and really a big saving, ho
waB told. Initiation, 5; subscription
for tho term of eight weokB, 2.
JamoB mado out another chock. Even
that had a stamp on It and cost 2
cents. In tho samo way ho dropped
2 6 b. to tho Union Debating Society
and 1 10b. to tho American Club.
His college bill that wook waa. only
8. Throo times 24 It 72. Only 72
a yoar. Ho know 100 was a big eetl
mato. Poor Jamoa! That bill waa
for kitchen and grocery alono. Ho
forgot tuition, room rent, collogo duos,
collogo oxponsoB, university duea,
taxes, servants and other expensea.
HIb terminal "battollB" wero nearly
C0, and ho had two more torma.
Space and our own full heart forbid
ub to say much morp. One incident
needB relation.
"You muBt como with mo to ma
triculation," Baya the Dean. So In cap
and gown (prlco $2 00), dark suit and
whlto tie, ho wont to tho Divinity
SchoolB. There a buBlnoaa-llko gon
tloman took his name and 3 10a.
Another mumbled something about
"Admltto tea'' and gavo him a book
named "Statuta ot Decrota." It was a
nice book, but Jamoa thought it hardly
worth $17.50. So ho tried to aell It.
Tho booksellers laughed and voted
him "a capital Jokor, ha, ha. Who
would buy tho. Statuta?" This was
rough. Force a man to pay $17.50 for
a book nobody wanted. Oh, but tho
3 10a. waa for matric. Ho had paid
that onco, but that waB collogo matric,
and thla waa 'varalty.
Cecil Rhodes Mistaken.
Jamoa could not quite boo why Cecil
Rhodes thought tho Oxford dons (pro
foBBorB) "such children In money mat
ters, " especially after thoy charged
him 2 for taking an exam and 1
for regletorlng his certificate of hav
ing paBaed. Remarkable "children."

H1b first wook coat JamoB 66 out
of 76, as thoBO who havo a mathe
matical mind will havo noticod. Jamea
had not a mathematical mind. Also
ho was foollah enough to pay caBh,
much to tho astonishment of Oxford
"shopkeepers." Within two weokB ho
was "flat" and had to bog tho RhodeB
trustees for an advance
And Folks Wondered.
JamoB wrote homo saying that ho
could oaally boo why $1,500 a year
waa nono too much. In fact, It wasn't
enough. And folka who knew how
frugally JamoB had won his way
through high Bchool and collogo won
dered and thought hlB good luck had
spoiled him.
Oh, ho learned In time how much to
givo in tlpa, whoro things wore cheap
est, when to pay cash, what to buy of
tho collogo and what outBldo. Ho
learned how to find a cheap boarding
place in tho "vac" and how to boat
them down cheaper yet. In other
words, ovon an American must cut
hie European oyo-teoth and Rhodos
scholars muBt still sit In "nlggor
heavon." HORACE B. ENGLISH, Ex. '13.
