The story was soon told. Major Darrell and the Hon. Wilson King, both prominent citizens, went out lor a stroll. I the course of their rambles they came to the old swimihing hole at the mouth of Smither's creek, and after considerable bantering and discussion they decided to go in. The water was pretty cold, but the old "boys" were splashing about having a jolly good time when a vile and low-minded tramp stole from the bushes and gathered two suits of clothes, a considerable quantity of money, two watches and four serviceable shoes. I, When major and the lawyer came out they were stumped indeed. There were no houses near and the only harbor of refuge was an old barrel cast up by the last freshet. After carefully knocking the nails out of the inside of it with a stone the major nattily clad his person with the same and started for town. Judge King remained in the water until friends ap peared with the needful garments. The sum of $200 has been offered by the major and the judge for the apprehension of the tramp who nipped their foliage.

Edward Emerson, Jr., the war correspondent, tele ^*ijaphed to Miss Mary E Griswold of San Francisco, from New York, asking her if she would marry him. The lady thought the matter did not require much hurry, so after a few days' delay, she wrote back a refusal. But in the meantime Colonel Emerson, with the same spirit that took him all over the Liao-tung peninsula, had started for Frisco, never doubting his fate. When he arrived, Miss Griswold thought he knew the worst, and as he did nojfc refer to her letter of refusal, she did not. Then the colonel took her out riding, dining, bathing and the lady was having a merry time and wishing she had her letter back.

Jimpson took courses that did not interfere with his regular baseball work, made speeches at the student mass meetings and got his name in the college annual every year, with a personally signed review of the season. Jimpson was the real baseball article with the rum turn rah rahs in that college. One afternoon in May two college teams battled with clubs and old vegetables on a college campus. Jimpson's team was hooted out of town. The faculty discipline committee started an investigation and here the real story of Jimpson begins.

"You say there was a man on first, second and third, Jimpson?" Jimpson said there were. "And you were about to bat?" I was." Now, will you please tell the committee, Mr. Jimpson, where, with three men on bases, did you pro pose to run if you hit the ball?"

A long piece of flexible tubing connected the instrument with the elec trical apparatus at the other end of the room. "This mould," he said, "came direct from Paris.
