Because of Students Pranks. "Willamette University, Salem, Or., April 18. Owing to the presence of a Jersey cow, locked and heavily chained t a pillar of the chapel rostrum, de votional exercises were dispensed with at Willamette this morning, for the first time In many years. How the cow mounted the long flight of steps at the entrance to the chapel Is a mystery. Gossip has it that she was pulled up by a blocli and tackle, for the task of leading bossy up the stairs would have been exceedingly difficult. Although the prank is supposed to have been performed by students, no evidence of the guilty ones has been found. A member of the Junior class milked the beast about chapel time, much to the relief of bossy, and 'to the amusement of Interested 6tudent spec tators. The faculty Is puzzled as to the best way of getting the cow down. Chapel Rule Disliked. Salem, Or., Aprtl 13. The placing of a cow in the chapel of Willamette university today is a result, it is as serted, of dissatisfaction arising over a rule of the faculty, made about two months ago, that all student: must at tend chapel exercises or be subject to dismissal from class. Recently a safe, weighing a ton and a half, was placed in tha chapel and other pranks have been played. Dean Alden, who is acting head of the university in the absence of Presi dent Doney on a trip to Washington state, says that no action had been taken by the faculty regarding today's prank, and he could not forecast what would bo done. The senior class adopted resolutions condemning the action of those who placed the cow in the chapel.

Naughty Horse Has Banquet on Garden Truck Chinese Gardener Ieaves Wagon and Motive Power of Express Wagon Helps Himself. . A Chinese truck gardener halted his horse in front of the Elks club on Stark street this morning. His pot-bellied horse dozed in the son while he went within. Then an express wagon came along and stopped on the same side of the street, some dozen feet behind the truckster's vehicle. The driver left his horse, too, to doze in the sun, but the horse didn't. He was a wideawake animal, and In his salad -days, and the wagonload of garden truck was only a few feet away. He saw the spinach and the rhubarb and the spring onions and the aspara gus and the lettuce and the parsley and the carrots and the dandelion greens and the kate and the radishes and the chives and the peas, and his mouth watered. Foot by foot he edged to the rear of this market on wheels. Here was a table d'hote to satisfy the most exacting eq'iiue Lucullus.
