as a conversationalist "Hoscy" was a fail

tudo had brouRht Mm to a realization of
tho fact that tho dullnrsa of a college town
(luring tho vacation was no chimera, but
a stony fact, which long before his time
had drlvou unfortunates to drink and pro
fanity. Ono of tho figure near tho farther door
slIpiMsl down from tho seat on tho radiator
and camo slowly through tho hall, step
ping softly and seeming to fear tho hollow
eches-s In which the walls shouted back tho
mind of footsteps. By this sign tho sopho
more knew him for tfco freshman that ho
was. Ho remembered tho tlmo when tho
walls of tho old building had seemed to
cry, "rreshl t rush I" at lilm. The fresh
man stoped at the euphonium's elbow.
"Cun you tell mo w hero I can find out
aliout theeutrancoexainlnatlonsln mathe
matics!1" ho asked, with tho usual fresh
man manner, which becomes familiar to
thoso who sio much of tho species not
hesitatingly, nor yet diffidently, but M
ono who bus the fear of Ix'lng laughed at
always Ix furo him, and with much the
same expression on his face as comes
when, before a group of unkind critics, he
trios to open one of tho big doors of the
hall tho wrung way.
Tho sophomore did not turn his head.
"KnlruniTi Math. Kxam.r" ho said. "K.

The freshman looked at the nearest door
and saw a big black letter palnt.il ou It.
' H.Him h? he asked.
Tho sophomore did not answer lilm, and
tho fnt.liiimii turned away. The sopho
more llsteiad to bis footsteps as they
founded down tho hall and creaked on tho
worn stnlrj. Then ho heard them return
ing. "Did you say room K?" asked the fresh
man. Tho sophomore nodded without looking
at him.
"It's locked," wild tho freshman. "Are
you sure It's tho right roomf"
"I don't know anything about It," said
tho sophomore calmly. "I lied."
Ho turned toward tho freshman without
tho sign of a smile on his face, aud as he
did so his eye fell on a slender, smooth
faced young man who occupied tho win
dow on tho other side of tho door.
"There's somo ono who can tell you,"
be said.
Then an ominous twitching came over
tho corners of his mouth.
"At least ho looks like a freshman," he
added carelessly.
The freshman turned to this new sourco
of Information.
"Can you tell mo where I can find out
about the entrance examinations In luath
ematlcsy" ho asked.
"They tako plaeoat 0 o'clock tomorrow
morning in room M," niid tho young
man.
Tho freshman sat down on the window

"Aro you going up to themi" ho asked.
"Yes; I'll bo there," saiu ino youug
man, with somo surprise.
Tho sophomore at the other window
smiled gently.
"I rather thought that wo belong to
the samo class," said the freshman.
Tho sophomore tipped his hat down over
his eyes and sat down suddenly on the sill

by a look of amusement, which wrinkled
tho skin at the comers of his eyes and
twltohed tho corners ot ins mouiu.
"I'm glad to meet somo ono who lins

the young man.
"Besides," said the sophomore, "what

"They're there to teach." said the sour-
onioni. "It's your own fault If you ito

"That one Is anarchist ic," said the
young man.
"What the liest way to do it?" asked
the freshman.
The sophomore looked at the ymuig
man, and both smiled broadly.
"I should advise a fuller pony," said
the sophomore.
The freshman looked up with a question
in his eye.
"A strip of paper on two matches," the
sophomore explained. "Hold It In the
palm of your hand, and when you want to
change the place, rub your hand down the
side of your tromgrs audit moves along
like a panorama."
The freshman studied the matter quiet
ly for a moment.
"I believe I'll do It," fce said at last.
"I would," laughed the sophomore.
Tho young man rose, looked at Ms
watch, and, iUHldlng to his companion,
opened the door ami went out. Through
the window the sophomore watched him
as ho went down tho wulk until he disap
peared behind a corner of one of the build
ings. "He's a good fellow," he said half to
himself.
Then ho turned and went up the hall,
leaving the freshman by tho window. At
tho farther end of the hall ho paused and
camo slowly back.
"Out of the kindness of my heart I've
come back," he said. "I'm too good for
earth or I would never have done It. I
ought to let you go on aud make an ass of
yourself It wvins to ho your forte but I
guess you've done enough In that line."
The freshman looked tip In surprise.
"Don't get a pony ready, "said the soph
omore. "You'll not need It."
This Hidden change of front was tj
much for tho freshman.
"Why notr" he asked.
"That was the man who'll give you tho
exam, tomorrow," said the sophomore.
The freshman sank weakly hack on tho
window sill and Hushi-d a llery ml. Tho
sophomore stood looking out of the win
dow. Then he delivered himself of a re
markable statement.
"Smieof them," he said r fleetlvely

Missionaries, more particularly, aro
sorely tempted to guess the liumlier of
Buddhists and Mohammedans as small,
that of the Chrl-tiam, whether Protestant
or Human Catholic, as large. It Isall the
more creditable, therefore, to the Homan
Catholic; missionary societies that they
should openly admit that, so far as they
know tho number of Buddhist Isas yet
tho largest. They Halm 4-'0,(llKl,liO() for
Christianity, hut allow 4.':i,UO(l.uoo to
Buddhism. Of these Christians, however,
thev claim 21:',0h0,ooii for themn-lviw and
allow only Sos,oou,oo0 to the reform's!
churches, while the Mohammedans follow
very close after, with about S!'W,o0u,uon.
I attach very Utile value to these statis
tics, still lei" 'I'" conclusions drawn
from them. Truth fortunately Is not set

saving of Kmlerlck Maurice, when he was
toid that, In his view aliout eternal pun
ishment, he was in a minority, or, what
Is tho same, unorthodox. "I l.ve ..ft. n
been In a minority," hesald. "In this life,
and I hopo I shall be so In tho next."
If we have been beaten, wo have lost
nothing On the contrary, tho fact that
Buddhism counts a- yet 8.000,000 more
than Christianity may prove an lnectitho
to our missionaries. Nr need the reformed

Half an hour later a pretty picture met
tlio eyo of a wandering squirrel, who look
ed down from the branch of a neighboring
tr,s In surprise at the sight of a visitor.
Nurse Ylllleri was vented on a moy tiank,
with her head against tho trunk of a fallen
oak, eagerly devouring tho last chapter of
lieriMiei. Her eye tilled with tear as
she read.
'Toor I rllliy'ahenald half aloud, "and
p r little lllllle!" Then, womanlike, she
turned to t:ie earlier chapter and read
again the discrlptlon of those wonderful
whltefis t. A a eiiienea her eye tri.Toled
dowiiwanl to her own daintily ehoil pedal
eitreinit'e. "Now, I have a pretty foot,"
aha thought, "hut I could never tw a Trtl.
by. 1 am not bad looking, but I cannot
lug. Still, my foot Is really presentable."
Hie looked cautiously round, and, acting
on ImpuUo. slipped off the llttlo bronia
shoe and silken stocking and gnzetl with
no stiuill degree of satisfaction at tha bit
of marl lellke llesh lying so white against
the green moss. Then alio slowly drew on
the stocking, leaving the dainty lilt of
Iron 70 leather on tho ground at a little dis
tance. Her head drooped against the trunk of
the tree, and in a few momenta aha waa
fast asleep. Shedld not hearths crackling
of the underwood aa a large retriever dog
pushed his way through the hushes. Hhe
did not sco him aa, with a knowing lock
at tho sleeper, ha seized tho little shoe be
tween hi teeth and made off with It, to
drop It some ten minutes later at tho feet
of his astoulslied master, Pr. t.llbart Fan
ahawe, the owner of the park.
But It wa with a rueful face, nftet
much fruitless search, that ahu limped bet
way back to the farm, mtlng herself sound
ly for the vanity that had caused hor dla
comlilure and her unlucky 40 wink.
"Kanshawe, old boy, I'm awfully glad
to seo you ; hut I'm In an awful fix. Hera's
my uncle taken suddenly 111 and has sent

bother about that. Your treatise nn tuber

And tho house surgeon at St Philip's,
Bardaley, wrung hi friend's hand In au
excess of gratitude.
The two friends went off together, Fan
ahawa'a dark, liitelluctual fiu-e and tall
form In strong contrast with hi compan
ion's rubicund chock, cheery manner and
somowhat etonted proportions.
That night ai I)r. Fanahawe went hit
midnight round he came npou a vision.
In the pot of light thrown by the reflector
lamp sat a girl with a child la bar arms.
Her fair hair was like an aureole round
her sweot face, and .the look of lovo and
pity In her eyes a aha bent over the little
ono stamped Itself upon hi memory for
ever. M10 looked up, and their eye met
In that one glanco someof Ur. Fanahawa's
heart al!p)ied out of hi keeping, and Eva
Yilller wa tha happy possessor.
"I never thought ono odd shoe would be
rf any use," wild Nurse Vllllora, holdliig
It up for Inspection, "but llttlo Jenny Wil
liams will bo ghtd of It, sin her fool wus
amputated." hhe placed lion her table,
to lie ready for th morning.
The alitor laughed and went down stair.
A shadow darkened the doorway, and Ur.
Fanahawa's voice said:
"Nurse, how are your patients tonight?"
Then, advancing Into the little room, he
caught light of the ahue n the table.
"Whose la this?" he aald eagerly. "And
where la tho other? '
"It waa mine," answered Kva. "But as
to the othor 1 cannot toll you that, fur II
mysteriously disappeared ill wacki ago."
HI heart began to l't rapidly.
"Nurse," said he, "In the atory of Cin
derella, tho prince, when he fouud tha
wearer of the slipper, took her for hi bride.
Ia It not so?"
"Ye," was the reply. " But I cannot see
what this baa to do with my shoe."
Hu drew from tho pocket of iilaihootliig

counterpart of the little hroniu hoo aud
placed It un tho tablo lioeldo Its fellow.
"Hlstorv repeat Itself, wo are told,"
an Id he. 'Shall the old fairy tale have a

After all. Jenny Williams did not have

Tim people of Lane county do not
fully appreciate the injustice which
has been done them by withdraw
iug lands in the t'a-cade moun
taii l from use and settlement.
In round numbers Laim county
has V)C0 square miles of territory.
Of this attoul 1700 square miles 011
the east have been withdrswi. from
public use and settlement. Just
think of it! Over one-third of the
county denied to settlers to cater
to the whim of a few eastern im
practical sentimentalists, assisted
by a ring of lieu land speculator
in Oregon!
We are aware that much of this
land can never be settled. Hut
there are many location along the
streams where homes may be
carved out, aud billions of feel of
fine limber that should eventually
be brought into the market and
that too without injuring our
timber growth. We have leeti ;n
different pinion of this reserve anJ
noted where itiiinei so foiost fire
had swept the mountain almost
hare during the past thirty year.
Many of these burns have alreudy
liecn reset with young limlier and
brush, our kindly Pacific wind and
rains having hoi n instrumental in
replacing to a considerable
extent that which had been de
stroyed. The lumbering that would
naturally be done in this
reserve during the next century
could have little effect un the vol
ume of timber, taking new growth
into consideration. The topogra
phy of the country ie a certain
protection to these forests.

Too much jealousy among the
newspaper fraternity. Hro Alley
of Itaker City had no sooner con
vinced one of his townsmen that
it was a profitably business trans
action to advertise his goods,
which in this instance proved to be
fret goods, than the X lUy man of
tho Salem Journal, which ha no
such ad, get jealous and mean,
and seek to deride Hro Alley's good
fortune in word and phrase, to
wit: The Baker City Republican, the
011U McKiuley organ in that coun
ty, bus struck good times. It ha a
three column ad for bock lieer from
the 1'acilic brewery.
Itro Alley ha a right to a share
ot Hie good fortune, of these piping
M Kiuley tiun s, and we do not
know of a more deserving benefic

We hope that as soon as the hock

i ait it be possible the Oregonian
H ' ying with its old and long dis
carded first love, tariff reform?
In anguish at the prospect of I'orl
lu d losing her direct sugar trade
with the Sandwich Islands,
tlniugh operations of the new tariff
law, it asks: "Is the policy of
I rotection nothing hut a private
s ,p?"
Why, bk's your heart you dear
old granny I You have answered
that question so often in the affir
mative that wo aro surprised you
should w ish a Iditional affirmative
proof to satisfy your doubts on the
all important subject. "A private
suaj 1" I fit is not why did the
trust and tariir beneficiaries open
the i r purses and throw nut hun
dred of thousands of dollar to
elect McKiuley? "A private
snap!" It has never been any
thing else. And the dear misguid
ed (MHiple must pay for these
"private snaps" even if they do
build up millionaires.
We do not take any stock in the
report that a radical Latie county
gold standard man grubbed up all
h . Mlvtr prunes. It it a fact,
however, that when the golden
pheasants wi re being introduced he
wa very anxious to secure a pair.
