Bill as a colored boy who roam ed the street at will. One day he found a pocketbook containing $40, and the owner's name was stamped on the book. But Bill burned the pocketbook and spent the $40 in riotous living. Of course it was found out and Bill was arrested, tried and found euilty, and sent to the penitentiary for two year. He served his time, and when he emerged, he knew something about making shoes. The day he returned to his home town ar. "old ac quaintance met him and asked: i ,"Well. what did they put you at in the prison. Bill?" ' - V ' "Dey started in to make an honest boy out'n me sah." r . t ' "That' good. Bill, and 1 hope they tuc ceeded." jf - ' V. "They did. sah." I ' J ' "And how did they teach you to be honest. Bill?" "Dey done put me in d shoe shop. s ih. nail pastebo'd ontor shoes to' soles, sah . , ; t '','.' '" XMAS 1 SUGG EST IONS A G5J!BDLEV Reports of cruelty inflicted by college number appear in the press with disgust ing frequency. One would think a youth who was interested in the endurance of physical hardship might go off and exhibit himself instead of combining with a dozen of his fellows to torture some member of their college, as younger males are ascustomed to torture dogs or beetles. Analogous indications of student intelli gence may be extracted from these expressions in a private letter from a theatrical manager in answer to a request for information about newspaper accounts: The students did cut up pretty roughly Saturday night. We cut the show down considerably, a they threw all kinds of things, programmes, etc.cn the stage. the climax being Just before we rang down, when one of them threw a small glass onto the stage. It struck one of the chorus girls in the forehead and cut quite a little gash, but, being a light glass, the blow was not such a to stagger her or anything of that kind. We thought it was then about time to close up. which we did. One of the students also took one of the automatic candy boxes off the back of the seat and threw it on the stage. You know, these are quite weighty I should say weighing a couple of pounds each but, fortunately, this did not strike any- ons. Why fortunately? 1 no student s joke was incomplete. His idea was to strike some one, and thus carry out his views of a diverting incident. Collier's Weekly. "That is quibble, mere quibble," said Walter Camp. Yale's athletic adviser, in a discussion of football rules.' ' He laughed ironically. . 'That reminds me," he said, "of the children of a friend of mine whom 1 visit ed in the summer. : i hese onuoren, two ooys, got on none too well. 4 ' " 'Here.' said their mother to the elder of them one day, 'here Is a banana. Di vide it with your little brother, and see that he gets the lion's share.' " "The younger child a few minutes later set up a great bawling. 'Mamma,' he shrieked. John hasn't given me any banana. What's this?" said his mother, hurry ing in. . 'It's all right,' explained the older boy. Lions don't eat bananas.'

Dated this 1 1 day of December, 1905 CHRISTMAS HAS GONE Christmas has gone, but the memories of the pleasant acts and kind and cheering words that lightened million of hearts on that day will never perish. Hearts and souls that were made happy yesterday will carry the impressions received through the countless ages of eternity and in their glad songs around the shining throne will remember with thrills of the foretaste of celestial bliss that Christmas songs and kindness opened to their visions on earth; ' "' ' . .
