[Original ] Marcus Hunter was left an orphan when he was seven years old. He had no brothers or sisters, no home, no money, no anything. An uncle who was well to do took linn to his house against his wife’s wishes, and the boy’s life there was one of misery When he was seventeen the uncle died, and the aunt turned the boy out of the house. He found n position us clerk in a business bouse. In ten years lie set up for himself. His relatives who during this period had ignored him now began to nod pleasantly to him when they met him and Invited him to their houses. The auut, who had made life a burden to him, reminded him of the pleasant days that lie had spent under her roof and how happy it had made her to be a mother to him. Just as Mark was getting on his feet in a business way a commercial panic came on. lie needed a little assistance to tide him over the crisis and applied to those of Ids relatives who were able to help him. lie began by telling them that lie would like to talk over Ids affairs with them with a view lo getting their advice. He got no further tlinn tlds, for each and every one of them pronounced himself incompetent to advise him This shut the poor fellow off, ns they Intended. He failed. Then Ids relatives dropped him again. When the commercial storm was over Mark went to work for a man who was a business genius, lie took a great fancy to Ids clerk and promoted 1dm rapidly, tinnlly making him second only to himself. Then the employer died childless and left about all there was of the business to ids pro tege. Marinis died a multimillionaire. Just before ids death lie made a will, in which lie directed that the house in which he had passed Ids lonely life— he never married should lie closed by his executor from the day of Ids death till one week after the funeral, when an auction should take place of everything it contained. No one was to be admitted to the sale except his rela lives. Since he left no direct heirs, most of the relatives were present at Hie reading of the will, each hoping for a sub stanthil remembrance. When they heard tlds singular provision and learned that the testator had left no legacy to any one of them they naturally inferred that he had concluded to remember them by leaving their legacies in different articles of furniture But what a singular way! Ten thousand dollars might lie In a hollow cane, while but .$l.ou) had been placed in a rosewood desk. Yet Hie cane might be knocked down for a dollar, while the desk might bring .$100. Was there ever such a way devised for distributing millions of money? The will further stated that the amount realized from the sale was to be expended by the executor for a monument to Hie deceased. When the day of the sale came around it was astonishing how many relatives Hunter had left behind him There were Hunters Innumerable both by name and In reality. A protest was made to Hie executor that many of them were not related to the testator and should not be admitted. But he argued that by the terms of the will the sale must take place then and there and there was no lime to exam Ine credentials. The crowd were kept waiting while artieles were lirst sold Hint could not possibly contain anything, such as tin covered crockery. On these there were only such bids as would serve to get them out of the way. But when it came to artieles in which stacks of bills could be placed the bid ding became furious. As soon as an article was knocked down Hie buyer wished to get at it, but was informed that he could not have It till after the sale. The bidders had every variety of opinion as to what artieles were most likely to contain large amounts, so tint anything wooden or hollow broilg!d excellent prices A kitchen table with a drawer (locked and no key) brought $100. an upholstered sofa $‘jnu, a cane fishing rod $150. A stewpan wtill a hollow handle large enough lo contain a dozen $1,000 bonds brought $275. One of the favorites \,as a plaster bust of Abraham Lincoln. Such busts are usually hollow, and this would naturally attract an Ingenious hide. It brought $'155 and was the cause of a protracted quarrel between two different branches of Hunters. Well, the last article was finally knocked down, and buyers were (old that they might take away their purchases. A rush was made for the artieles. but few were removed Sev era! purchasers had brought hammers and with Iliese began lo smash their articles The signal was a crack on the head of Abraham Lincoln's bust, which dropped into a collide of dozen pieces. An exclainnllnn of- rage went up from the man who had paid Hie enormous price for it. Krom that mo ment the crash of furniture, the ripping of upholstery and Hie smashing of glass and slonewnre were mingled with oaths and exclamations of disappointment. Not a single article knocked down by Hie auctioneer contained one cent or one cent's worth of property . Tin* next morning Hie newspapers untiouucod Hint the late Marcus TTun ter had a few days before Ills deain given away Ills whole property, $1.<100.000, to institutions for the poor The Hunter monument Is one of (he handsomest In Sleepy Hollow eeme tery.

THREE ON HOSPITAl LIST BOTH ATTEMPTS WERE FAILURES

“Unless the men come out and fellow at least a little spirit, DePauw has no chance at all In Saturday's contest with Purdue," said Coach Brown yesterday afternoon after the practice. He was very much discouraged. “With only three afternoons for practice before the big game of Hie season, Hie players will ha\e to turn out and do something in earnest at once if we are going to have any show.’’ Onlj eighteen men appearcl on MeKeen Field in football togs yesterday afternoon and about half of those were subs. And because of this lack of men the coach could do little toward the perfecting of the team work After the men had warmed up by preliminary practice in punting, the coach put the squad through a half hour of fast signal work, both Grady and Overman taking turns In leading Hie eleven. After that Brown spent tile remainder of the time in coaching the men on some new line plays. These new plays and signals were given out yesterday so that the team can use them next Saturday, as it Inis been rumored that a Purdue man secured the old signals and plays from last Saturday’s contest. Whisler, wdth a resprained neck and shoulder, was added to the hospital list yesterday, nuking three of the regulars—Greenstreet, Whisler and Sehladerman, who may not he able to play in Saturday’s game. However Greenstreet oaid that lie might be able to enter part of Hie contest. After the squad was dismissed and sent to the gym, Grady and Overman were kept on the field until dark getting a hard workout on forward passes, short and long punts. Feeling that the results secured yesterday afternoon were far from the proper ones considering the nearness of the Lafayette game, Coach Brown gave the team another workout in signal practice in the gym at nine o’clock last night. By having practice twice a day until Friday the coach, hopes to get the squad in fair shape, but as he says this can not he done unless all of the players work faithfully.

Twice on Monday evening while Hie freshman hoys were banqueting the girls of the class in Hie gymnasium, Hie electric wires were cut and every light in the building was extinguished. The freshmen are of the opinion that the wire cutting stunt was pulled off by the sophomore* but the second year people deny all conjnection with the affair. The lirst time the lights went out many of the freshmen thought the switch was turned by some of their classmates as a joke on Hie girls. Their affair was in Hie nature of a leap year reception. The use of the gym had been secured, and for several hours they worked industriously decorating it in Japanese lanterns, fans and umbrellas, and freshman Hags, colors and banners. From end to end of the gym stretched twj long tables ready to be loaded with sandwiches, salads, apples and other viands they had provided. “Kach girl must choose her partner,'’ now yelled out u prominent freshman and while every one waited expectantly with liuslii il voice and bated breath, as if to aid the coeds in their task the room suddenly was thrown in darkness. Out of the pandemonium came a few brave spirits with lighted match es, and after a hasty search it was found the wires in the gym had been cut. They were hastily repaired and the fun went on. The next period of darkness was close to ten o’clock. The gang w ho did Hie cutting secured a ladder, and the wires were cut on the outside of the window jusl where limy enter the building. Although Hie building was dark for fifteen or twenty minutes , the lower clafes did not allow It to , break up their party. The broken l wire was found and repaired and tin* revelry and feasting went merrily on.
