In these vaocs in cnwiiwii mcaua mai mc parties named get the benefit of the free scholarships provided for." A Good Argument. As he dislikes motor-cars, a country squire always kept good horses. Recently he bought a handsome mare, and a few days later asked his groom what he thought of the new arrival. "She's a fine looking animal, sir," replied the man, "but I'm afraid she's a bit touchy." "Why do you think so?" questioned the squire. "She doesn't seem to take to no one, sir. She can't bear me to go into her box to groom her." "Oh, she'll settle down in a few days," the squire reassured him. "Everything's strange to her, you know. I don't think there's much wrong with her temper." "Nor didn't I at first, sir." replied the groom. "But, you see, she's kicked me out o' that there box twice already, and, when you come to think of it, that's very convincin."?Argonaut.

But It is Not Likely to Have 111 Effect. We are now told by a noted financier that the concentration of so much gold in this country is likely to bring us industrial and commercial trouble, for the ultimate result will be the raising of the cost of everything in the way of wages and material that ao into our foreign trade, that it will sadly weaken us in our competition for that trade. It may turn out so, but forecasts of financial distress based upon known conditions seldom materialize. It may be that so much gold may encourage the purchase of foreign fabrics, and that will excite the nation to making the duties higher to keep them out, and there you are in a political hubbub again, which leaves business quite at sea. The wise thing is to prevent the stock of gold, I which is quite equal to all Europe : possesses, from entering a period of speculation, which always ends in fi-! nancial distress. But then again the ! federal reserve system will steady i the currency stock, so as to keep usj out of trouble. So the gold need not scare us.?Ohio State Journal.
