GET RESULTS SAKS FISHER Giving DePauw journalism the biggest lift of the year and urging the local men to show results, Ferd Fisher, telegraph and state editor of the Indianapolis Star appeared as the feature of the Press Chib’s guest meeting at the Deke house, last night speaking on “University Needs.” Mr. Fisher stated that in the past the newspaper had generally been looked upon by college graduates as a “Post Graduate Course” leading or opening the way to something else, such as politics or other phases of public life; but that now the newspaper business was considered more 1 nthe light of a profession and that big newspapers demanded college trained men upon their staffs. There was a time, he said, when the men just from college were the laughing stock of the business and professional men and that much humor was had at the college man’s expense, however, the college bred man has demonstrated his worth and has been given his rightful rating in the business world. Mr. Fisher, then went on to tell something of the practical side of the newspaper business and cf how news was collected and handled. He said that the old way was to put the reporter In the city room and allow him to get his experience there. The prominent newspaper man " • loudly applauded at Intervals during his exceedingly Interesting address. Especially, was this so, when he complimented DePauw , highly in saying that it was the , most classical school in Indiana; that it had turned out an unusually large number of men prominent and influential in business, professions and polities. Among those that spoke after Mr. Fisher, were Profs. Barnes and Kleinsmid who expressed themselves in favor of better journalistic training at DePauw. In the business meeting of the Press Club before the speaking program, Park Lantz and Pierce Haines were voted in as members. Prof. Barnes was made the first hoi orary momber. The next meeting if the club will he held at the Phi Psl house.

It Does The Business. Mr. E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton Main, says of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. “It does the business; I have used it for piles and it cured them. Used it for chapped hands and It cured them. Applied it to an old sore and it healed it without leaving a scar behind.” 25c at The Owl Drug
Store.
“The other day at a poultry market I saw a chicken butcher wearing a pair of those basket sleeve protectors, and I stood and laughed like a fool,” said the fat man. “First time I’d seen a pair of basket sleeve protectors for years, and so 1 Just bad to laugh. Tell you why. When 1 was n tike I used to look with wonder and awe upon a fellow who wore u pair of basket sleeve protectors. I considered that fellow with a pair of those things was all right, all right, plus some more. “They had a kind of jaunty air about ’em that I couldn’t and can’t define, but it was there, and 1 revered and reverenced ’em. I made up my mind that if I ever grew up nud got the price, me, too, for a pair of those basket sleeve protectors, no matter what sort of work I’d happen to tackle. “yueer dlckenses, boys, eh? ’Member those patent pencil attachments that marketmeu used to have—may have ’em yet—hltclied to their aprons? Well, I thought those were pretty nifty things, too, and I used to secretly hanker to own one of ’em. Made up my mind that I would ovrti one of ’em, too, when I got to lie a man. lint somehow 1 never seemed to want one when I reached the shaving age. “Guess some of my ambitions as a boy were pretty crazy anyhow. I was so jealous of the first boy I ever met that could spit through ids teeth at a mark and hit it that I bated him. That same boy pretty early in Jifc got a Job driving a delivery wagon fora grocery. Well, pretty soon after he got that iob lie was wearing a pair of those patent elastic sleeve supporters, or holders, or whatever you’d call ’em tilings with n clutch at either end that pulled the eufT back from the wrist. This boy’s pair of those things; were pink elastic, and how he used to flaunt ’em before my eyes! “lie knew blamed well that those pink elastic sleeve supporters looked finer to mo than any Star of India or Victoria Cross could possibly look, and he know besides that because I had to go to school and wasn’t earning anything there wasn’t a possible chance on earth for me to get a pair like’em— and so he just held ’em over me and made my life miserable. Yet when I got to the wage earning age I never seemed to care at all for a pair of pink clastic sleeve supporters. “Another boy that I hated had a maroon colored cardigan jacket. That was before the day of sweaters. This hated boy wore the cardigan jacket beneath ids regular outer coat and so he didn’t have to wear any overcoat. That, I considered, was a gorgeous blessing-not to have to wear an overcoat to school. I despised tills boy for having it on me-tlmt way. Anyhow, ids maroon colored cardigan jacket bad a couple of pockets in front that he kept full of all kinds of junk—sometimes he even carried mice In school in ’em. And that made my indignation nil the greater—tlie fact that lie had those two tine covered up pockets to his cardigan jacket. “One great triumph did come to my tike life, though, and that was the fact that I was the first boy of my school to own a pair of copper toed boots. Well, I sprang the first pair, as I say, at my school, and I guess I didn’t break the hearts of all the other boys or nothin’! Besides the copper toes, these boots had red tops, with a silver star and crescent stamped on the red tops, and that made the blow all the more frightful to the other lads that had to see me stalking around in those boots. After awhile, though, nearly all of the other youngsters showed up with copper toed hoots and thus took the wind out of my sails. We never see boys wearing [leaked caps any more—notice? 1 don’t mean these dinky little elotli caps with peaks to ’em, hut regular soldiers’ caps with glazed peaks. First boy that turned up In our neighborhood with one of those things on made a sensation, all right. This same boy had got hold of a carpenter’s pencil somewhere, and he’d stick that carpenter's pencil underneath his fortige <*ap, with the sharpened end projecting in a mighty blase way that certainly caused us to regard him ns some pumpkins. I was always crazy for a carpenter’s pencil when 1 was a boy. but I never got hold of one—never did have much luck when I was a boy anyhow. My folks were too blamed respectable. “As a matter of fact—you can believe it or not. but I’m telling you the truth —they wouldn't let me at the ago of ten apply for”the Job of brukeman on a passenger train. That, ^1 thought, was the finest job in the world-brake-mun on a passenger train—just swinging a red lantern nil the time, nud wearing a peaked cap mostly on the left ear, ami the peak pushed back so as to show an oiled hung plastered down, and sitting on a wood bo* In the smoker talking to fellers, and carrying a pair of red flags around everywhere. nud all that. But the main appeal of the Urakeman’s job was the pair of red lanterns. w “Oh. well, that pair of basket sleeve .protectors that 1 saw at the poultry market tlie other day certainly carried me back a long way. and I was still laughing like a fool when I strolled away.”—Charleston News and Cou-
rier.
Writer* Cramp. Writers’ cramp is a serious matter to people \\ hose work requires that they use u pen very much, while for the unaccustomed \v l iter w ho takes an afternoon off now and then to catch up with her correspondence it Is, to say the least, very discouraging. Tlie trouble is more than muscular In tills kind of cramp. Very often a low, nervous condition will cause it. Then one should take It ns n warning that the system is run down and needs general toning up. Very often, however, tlie trouble is all In the way you hold your
pen.
Children now in school are not likely to be troubled with writers’ cramp, because they are taught to hold the pen lightly mid make ail the movements ’rom tlie arm instehd of the hand. The old fashioned method which most of us learned of holding the pen between the thumb and forefinger is also very likely to encourage a cramp. The muscles Uipome tense and hard, until finally they contract so much that all control over them Is lost. The pen should 1 e held between the first two lingers, well up -toward the joint. . The trouble may often be relieved by putting tlie hand and wrist into the hottest water one can stand. —Boston Herald.
Tenderness of the Hanging Judge. Mr. Justice Hawkins' tenderness for Women prisoners was well known. He admitted it. and he had a great dislike of sentencing these poor creatures to death who had been recommended to mercy and would probably be reprieved. On one such occashui tlie sheriff asked if he was not going to put on the black cap. "No,” lie answered, “I am not. I do not intend the poor creature to be hanged, and I am not going to frighten her to death.’’ Addressing her by name, he said: “Don’t pay any attention to what 1 am going to read. No harm will be done to you. I am sure you did not know in your great trouble and sorrow what you were doing, nud I will take cure to represent your case so that nothing will harm you in the way of punishment." He then mumbled over the words of the sentence of death so that the poor creature did not hear them.—London
Graphic.
Lobster Fare. Hungry lobsters In their natural state-seldom refuse tisli of any kind, whether dead or alive. Tlie favorite bait with fishermen is fresh or stale herring, but even shark meat is used at a pinch. Lobsters also eat small crabs, sea urchins an I mussels. Indeed, there are few forms of marine life suitable for food which they refuse. Lobsters sometime.-; capture fish alive, striking them with the smaller of their two great claws, which for tins reason fishermen call the “quick” or "fish" claw, but they w ill live for a long time, especially when confined without taking any food. If you tether the lobster by tlie large claws, you will find that, like the muskrat, he will go off some fine morning, leaving only Ids legs in tlie trap, for this animal lias tin* remarkable power of “shooting a claw," or amputating ils limbs, and, what Is slid more wonderful, of growing new ones from the stumps left behind.—St. Nicholas.
- A FRENCH HERCULES. Marvelous Strength of the Father of Alexardrc Oumc.3. My father was twenty-four at the time of enlisting and as luiTidsome a young fellow as could be found any-
where.
His free colonial life hud developed his strength and prowess to an extraordinary degree. He was a veritable American horse lad, a cowboy. His skill with gun and pistol was the envy of St. Georges and .iunot, and Ids muscular strength became a proverb in the army. More than once lie amused himself in the riding school by passing under a beam, grasping it with his arms and lifting his horse between bis legs. 1 have seen him do it, ar«l 1 recollect my childish amusement w hen I saw- him carry two men standing upon his bent knee and hop across the room with these two men ou him. I saw him once In a rage take a branch of considerable toughness in both ids hands and break it between them by turning one bund to tlie rigid and tlie other to the left. A few years later the gallant hussar was a brigadier general and performing feats of valor which earned him the title of “tlie Horatius Codes of the Tyrol." Best of nil we like the son’s description of Horatius’ storming of Mont < Vqii;: The climbers reached the plateau. Although it was a dark night, the long line <>f soldiers, clothed I i blue uniforms, could have been pereeiVed outlined against the snow from tlie fort. But my father had foreseen tbit contingency; each man had a cotton caii and a shirt rolled up lu his knapsack. This was the ordinary dress my father adopted at night when he limited i ha.nois They readied tlie foot of (lie palisades without having roused a single challenge. The men began climbing the palisades as soon as they reached them; but, thanks to lay father's herculean strength, he thought of a better and quieter way namely, to take each man by the seat of Ids trousers and the collar of ids coat aid throw him. over the pail aides. The snow wouhj break the fall and also deadeu tlie noise. Surprised out of their si :ep and seeing the i'reiuli soldiers in their midst without knowing how they had come there, tlie riedmmitese tillrdI\ offered any n dstance. From "My Memoirs," by Alexandre Dumas, Translated by E M. Waller.
IN SEARCH OF A FATHER.
The Microscope. \ There is good reason to believe that the magnifying power of transparent media with convex surfaces was very early known. A convex lens of rock crystal was found by Layard among tlie ruins of the palace of Nimrud. And it is pretty certain that after the invention of glass hollow spheres blow n of that material were commonly used as magnifiers. The perfection of gem cutting shown In ancient gems, especially in tlmrc of very minute size, could not have been attained without tlie use of such aids to the eye, and there can lie liltle doubt that the artificers who could execute those wonderful works could also shape and polish the magnifiers best suited for their own or others’ use.—New York America u.
Rifled Firearms. In the South Kensington museum are several wheel lock muskets with rifled barrels made during the reign of Charles I., if not earlier. Such barrels were then usually called "screwed.” Zachary Grey in a note on "Hudibras,” part ‘1, canto 3, line 633, says that Prince Rupert showed his skill as a marksman by hitting twice in succession the vane on St.-Mary’s Stafford at siiny yards with a "screwed” pistol.— London Notes and queries.
The Forests. A true forest is not merely a storehouse full of wood, but, as it were, a factory of wood and at tlie same time a reservoir of water. When you help to preserve our forests or to plant new ones, you are acting tlie part of good citizens.—Roosevelt.
Reputation and Character. Lawyer (examining Jury)—Do you understand the difference between character and reputation? Juror—Reputation is the name your neighbors give you; character Is the one they take from you.—Judge.
Strategy. “How did pa act when you asked him for my hand?” “Very gentle and courteous. It quite took me by surprise.” “I told him you used to be a pugilist.”—Houston Post. Too Late. Muriel—Why didn’t you marry him? Everybody says lie has reformed. Maud—Yes. but he reformed too late. His money was nil gone.—New Orleans Times-Dtuuoc rat.
OLD TIME SURGERY. The Barbarous Mother'- of the Six-
teenth Ccntuiy.
Ambrolse Pure, a I suigeon of the sixteenth century, t ,1s in Ids notes how In l.'JT he went to the long wars to get practice in snrg.T.v. He invented some new proce:: e , particularly in the treatment of niiipmatel limbs. Up to Parc’s time the most barbarous means had been used 16 stop the bleeding, in bis own words: “So soon as the limb was removed the surgeons would use many eau’erles to stop the llow of bb> > I. a thing very horrible and cruel In the mere telling. And truly of ri\ tliu - cruelly tivrted scarce two over escnpfd, and even these were long ill. and the wounds thus burned were slow t > heal, bec uise the burning caused Hindi vehement pains Unit they fell into fever, convulsions and oilier mortal accidents, la ino.-d of them, moreover, when the scar fell off there came fresh bleeding, whii 'ii^uiiist again lie stanched with (he cauteries. So that for i any hen!; g was iiilpo silile, and they ha I an ulcer to tlie end of their lives, which prevented them from having an aidllieial limb.” The Idea id' aboli- lihig i ndi cruelty by using ihe ligature > eim. il to Pure in one of ids war journeys, mid Ids success went beyond ids own expectations. His cither discovery was made within a few hours of ids joining tlie army. It wa ; believed by the surgeons of tlie day that there was poison in n gunshot wound, and one of the accepted nntlioritles iu-isied that they must be cauterized "wita oil of elders scalding hot, mi .ed w ith a little treacle The pain was intolerable. It happened that at Ids first trcalment of gunshot wounds Parc’s oil ran short, and lie used Instead "a digestjvc* made of the yolks of eggs, oil of roses and turpentine.” To Ids surprise he found next morning that tin* patients he had tints treated were in better condition than the others. “Then I r solved never more to burn thus cruelly poor men with gunshot wounds."
Nawton's Fearful Crime. At the end of a meal at Haydou’s house Keats proposed a toast in these terms: "Dishonor to the memory of
Newton.”
Tlie guests stared at him in question ing surprise, and Wordsworth asked for au explanation. “It Is." answered Keats, “because he destroyed the poetry of the rainbow by reducing it to a prism." And the artists all drank, with one consent, con fusion to the savant.
A Great Change. Old Nurse (to young lady who is going to New Zealand) So you're going away to one of tlie countries. Miss Mary, where they have day when we have night and night when we have
day? ’
Miss Mary—Yes. nurse. Old Nurse—Eh, it will take ye some time to get accustomed to the change! —London Punch’s Almanac.
Quite Familiar.
“Jimmie.’’ said the merchant solemnly at tlie eleventh hour, “we have forgotten to get a fresh supply of stamps.’’ And the office boy lu hi; excitement responded with “Goodness, sir, so wo have! If we ain’t a couple of biuuder headed Idiots!"—London Tit-Hits.
(Original ) Years ago a man and his wife and boy baby settled in a village in New England and set up housekeeping In a small w ay. Why they chose to make the place their- home no one knew. Neither worked for a living, but they did not appear to be in want of funds. Their station seemed to lie that of upper servants. The child, Arthur, as he grew from babyhood to boyhood, was of a widely different type from his parents. While they were homely, he was handsome; while they were dark, he was fair; while they were of y course grain’, there was that about Tiiui akin to tlie manlier born. Finally dlie source from which they drew their income seemed to be falling them. The iivan—Tralnor was Ids name —made frequent trips somewhere, no one knew where, and on ids return tlie family’s finances seemed to have Improved. but only temporarily. At last the woman died. After her death the father disappeared, leaving ids sou, now about thirteen years old, to shift for himself. He had not been required to work and, now that be was thrown on Ids own resources, knew not what to do. He desired to find Ids father with a view to having ids wants provided for, as before. He wandered about aimlessly, doing odd jobs nud eking out a miserable existence. Two years had passed In this way when one day while he was at work in n field lie saw ids falher drive by in n buggy. The boy ran to the fence and called, but did not succeed in making himself heard. Riinnlng after (lie bug gy, lie followed it for miles, now losing It, now regaining sight of it, till at last lie saw it turn into a handsome country plnce. Arthur was by (Ids time exhausted, so lie sal down ou a stone to catch tils breath, keeping his eye on the place his father bad entered. It was a sightly place, the house being large and tlie grounds spacious. He wondered who lived there and why ids father went there. How beautiful life must lie to one who could call such a place home! As soon as he hail regained his wind lie got up and ran on The place was more than a mile away, ami lie was some time in reaching it When lie did he entered a large gate way with a massive stone pillar on either side and followed a •winding driveway to the house. The horse hi* father had driven was hitched to a post before the front porch. Suddenly the front door opened, and an old gentleman ushered Tralnor out saying: "Not a cent! Find the child and I'll square tlie account with a thousand dollars, but till then never let me see your face again.” Suddenly Trainor caught sight of the boy. “Why, Arthur!” lie exclaimed. Then turning totheold man, he said: “Then ho Is. Now yon may atone for your villainy.” The old man stood staring at the handsome boy, all ragged as lie was. and gasped: “Is that my grandson?" “He is. He’s your daughter’s sot. aud your grandson.” Then to Arthur “My boy, I’m not your father. ’Mils old gentleman will tell you who you
are."
The old man took the boy In his arms, then, running into the house called: “Alice, your boy is here!" In a moment a lady of middle age ran down a w inding staircase, and, see lug the astiTnished Arthur, she to<G him in her nrins and would not release I
him.
Some eighteen years liefore Alice I Archer had run away from home to marry a man her father disliked. Her father laid followed her and succeeded in getting her back to ids home, where he kept her a quasi prisoner. A child was born, and Mr. Archer made up ids mind to get rid of It. Giving the baby to Trainor and ins wife, who bad been Ids servants, he agreed to furnish them with money as long as they needed it. But Trainor became so importunate that Mr. Archer was obliged to shut off a part of the supply and finally nil. Tlie man Alice Archer had married died, and tlie mother at last prevailed upon her father to restore her child. But by this time Trainor had deserted the boy and lost track of him. After this Mr. Archer refused to pay Trainor any more money till he produced the boy. But on the day Arthur came home his grandfather paid Trainor a lump sum on condition that he would use it to leave the couutry never to return. Arthur Archer, or, rather. Reginald, which was the name given to him before lie was sent awny, was first put Into a bath, then clothed in apparel liefitting ids station. Then commenced the process of making up for the years he had lost in the matter of education. He is now n man. Often he saunters up the road to the spot where lie sat down to catch Ids breath when following his supposed father, and. gazing at the place he then looked upon so covetously, lie recalls the picture of Ids boyhood days and contrasts them with the present. His grandfather is dead, and he is master of all the old gentleman possessed. In Mr. Archer's old age he eatqe to see ids sin in turning away ids own flesh and blood aud could not do enough by way of atonement. But he never entirely forgave his daughter for running away nud marrying against ids will, and after his death it was found that he had left all ids property to Ids grandson. This, however, mode no difference, for the grandson lives only for his moTher and to erase the blight caused by her fa ther. SILVIA LEWIS BALDWIN.
