NOTED DePAUW ATHLETES SOME HAVE WON NATIONAL, < >T H E RS INTE R N ATIONA L REPUTATIONS.
RECORD FOR WESTERN SCHOOLS
It is a recognized fact that DePauw has turned out some of the greatest athletes that the West has ever known. Several have gainted natolnal and a few international reputations. The following, with many others, have established a name for DePauw in the various sports. Dr. Roller of Seattle, Washington, was one of the strongest men in field events that DePauw ever knew. During the latter nineties he held several state records in the hammer throw and shot-put. After leaving college he graduated from the Philadelphia Medical School with highest honors. He is now Physical Director of the University of Washington. Dr. Roller has taken much Interest in wrestling and will soon meet some of the world’s best wrestlers. “Polly” Ruick of Indianapolis and a member of the Indiana legislature was a great football and baseball star at the same time as Dr. Roller. He attended Yale after graduating from DePauw and easily made the football team there. Joseph Pulse was one of the greatest pitchers DePauw ever knew. This batting and fielding averages were high, and as a pitcher he never met ids equal in college athletics of Indiana. Altho he received many flattering offers he never entered the professional circles. At present, he is engaged in the manufacturing business at Waupegan, Ills. Perhaps the h.st first-baseman DePauw ever had was “Babe” Conklin who played with Pulse. After leaving school he played with various teams of the Central League and made a very creditable showing. It is a well known fact that James Lightbody was our greatest track athlete. Mtho most of his records were made after he went to Chicago I'niversity, he was developed here. His world records made at St. Ixnils and Athens are known to all lovers of college sports. His recent visit to our city recalled to mind his brilliant records. , Since Lightbody, Capt. Tucker has gained more fame than any other DePauw athlete. His record is unsurpassed In that he has been captain of the football, track and baseball teams

HAPPY MONTHS. An Odd Custom Ob*erved In England at Chriatmaa Time. “Happy months” is the name applied to the little mince pies made at Christmas time throughout England and served to any guests who may call at the house during the holidays. The saying is that for every one of these tiny pies one eats a happy month will come during the year, only the pies must be given to the one who eats them. When one calls at the house the little pies are brought forth with a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and, hove\er well satisfied one may already be as regards one's appetite or bow many of these "happy month” pies he lias already eaten, it is considered a marked breach of etiquette to refuse the little pie, although one is allowed to take It home and eat it later. This, however, Is not very often done, for who would refuse the coming of a happy month by refusing to overtax the stomach for Just one more little pie? In some parts of England these little pies are literally made by the dozen, so there will lie plenty of them for family and friends. They are made of the richest of putY paste, too, which, at the best of times, is an Indigestible goody, and the crust is filled with a mince meat filling that is even richer than the crust.—Suburban Life.

CEYLON ELEPHANTS.
The Only Species In Which the Males Have No Tusks. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd of African elephants—all tuskers! It is a singular thing that Ceylon is the only part of the world where the male elephants have no tusks. They have miserable little grubbers projecting two or three Inches from the upper jaw and Inclining downward. Nothing produces either Ivory or horn In fine specimens throughout Ceylon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they will not bear a comparison with those of other countries. The horns of the na tlve cattle are not above four Inches in length. The elk and the spotted deer’s antlers are small compared with deer of their size In India. This is tiie more singular ns It is evident from the geological formation that at some remote period Ceylou was not an island, but formed a portion of tiie mainland. It Is thought that there must be elements wanting In the Ceylon pasturage for the t'o. niation of ivory.—Ceylou Mau ual.

The Vienna men of law once distinguished themselves in a unique man ner. A Wachau peasant had been caught in the criminal act of throwing stones at rabbits. He had not hit them, and the rabbits bad decamped without so much as suspecting the attack, hut the peasant was hauled be fore the high courts of justice. His defense was that the rabbits had been close to his garden and that he had only tried to frighten the greedy rodents off his cabbages. All the same, he was condemned to three days’ imprisonment. The peasant appealed against the sentence, but in vain. If a rabbit had been killed, said the authorities. the peasant would certainly have stolen it, and stealing a rabbit was an unlawful action. And thus the man from Wachau went to prison for throe days, and the wise judges of A’lenna bounded into fame for their method of applying the "if” and “and” theory.—

[Original. J
There were years of continued revolution in Cuba before the final reliuqulshiueut of the island by Spain byorder of the United States. As far buck as fifty years ago filibustering expeditious went there from Florida, but revolution had not gathered sulti cleut strength for an auxiliary to lie <>f benefit. Now ui*l again a leader would arise, but after a brief resistance to Spanish tyranny would succumb. Usually a price was set upon liis head. It was during the latter part of this period of incipient revolution that I went to Cuba as a sugar planter. My plantation was iu the Interior, but my office was iu Havana. One day while at the former my coat was caught by u portion of the machinery, and 1 was jerked toward instant death. One of my employees, Diaz Martin, of mixed Spanish aud Aztec blood, pushed forward and extricated me a few seconds before 1 would have been mangled but for him. 1 had been carried to a posi tiou so dangerous for any one to enter except with extreme caution that my rescuer's act was one of great bravery. It surprised me, for he had all the softness of manner possessed by his Aztec progenitors. I took Martin with me to Havana aud placed him in a position where he might become valuable to li 11 use if as well us to me. But he was entirely uneducated, ami 1 found few things of importance that he could do well. In order to benefit him 1 paid him more than he was worth. I confess 1 con sidered him shiftless and with no fancy for hard work. He remained with me several years, during which I tried him iu many positions, in all of which he failed. One day 1 sent him out ou an errand, and he did not come back. I made uu examination of my cash and found it all where I had supposed It was. He had taken nothing, at least
of uiiue.
About this time an insurrection broke out in the interior which gave the Spanish more trouble than auy that had occurred up to that time. The people of the section in which it took place had found a leader, and it was tills leader who caused all the trou ble. Such was usually the ease with Cuban insurrections. The people, who were mostly negroes, were incompetent to defy even for a brief period the authority of the captain general until some mau arose to lead them. Nothing was known of tiie general of this insurrection except that he was called Hohito. The government offered the usual reward for his head, but the government could not get him. But Bouito was lighting hopelessly Gradually ids forces dwindled either by dentil or a return to their ordinary avocations, and yt last the intrepid iu surgeut found himself alone. This of course meant that sooner or later some one in order to obtain the reward of fered for his capture would deliver him to the government. One evening I remained longer than usual at my office to make some estimates. All my employees had gone home, and I was sitting alone at my desk, with my back to the door. Suddenly there came to me one of those indescribable sensations which mark the imparting of knowledge without the usual mediums. Though I heard no sound, I knew some one stood lie hind me. Turning, there stood Diaz Martin. He had entered with the soft step usual to him aud stood looking at me with that mild, dreamy expression I had seen in pictures of tiie Aztec Emperor Montezuma. I extended my hand, which he grasped with a feeling not indicated iu his countenance. Then I asked him why he had left me aud whore lie had been. “I received word, signor, that my father's little plantation had been raided by Spanish troops under a pretext that he was disloyal to the govern ment. All he had was taken from him and he was thrown into prison, while my mother and sisters were left to starve. I could not but go, signor, to their assistance. I gathered a force in a forest, from which 1 emerged aud fell upon’’— “You are”—
“Bouito.”
When I had finished gaping at him in astonishment, I got from him an account of how for a long period he bad held a province from Spanish rule; how he hud been left alone and had come to me as a last hope for his life. When lie laid finished, after procuring some provisions for him I locked him up iu my office aud went home to concoct n plan for getting him out of Cuba. A sugar barrel, being of extra size, seemed to me to be the most feasible conveyance. If I could get the man whose head was wortli $10,000 into n barrel aud drive him myself to the dock, I might put him aboard a ship and send him to another land as sugar. The next morning I went to my office, which was in my warehouse, long before any one of my employees was there. I packed Martin In a sugar barrel, with some provisions, a gimlet and a little saw. leaving him standing on his feet in the warehouse. Then I went to breakfast. Returning, I ordered a truck to take some sugar to the dock where a ship would sail that day for New York. Among the barrels was the one containing Martin. Reprimanding tiie porter for carelessness, l rolled it on to tiie truck myself. Then, taking a short cut to tiie dock, I rolled every barrel aboard the ship, to the astonishment of the roustabouts. I saw tiie vessal sail and grow dim on the northern horizon. A couple of weeks later I received a letter from Martin stating that he had j cut himself out of the barrel and nr-' rived safely in a free country. GARDNER V. BORLAND.
