have given the date and place of the occurrence may be doubtful. The forty lines of .Mrs. Hemans gave them ail the history that they craved, and when the parrot-like performance closed with “faithful heart” u sentimental maiden aunt would sigh, a liberal uncle bestow largesse to the extent of half a

crown, and that was all.

It was lit 179s that young Casablanca, the ten-year-old son of the com modore of the French flagship Orient, stood amid the awful devastation of tlie battle of the Nile. Bonaparte bad himself sailed in the ill fated Orient from Toulon in the previous May, tak lug with Mm a good stock of bur gundy and also that famous “camp li brnry” of cabinet editions, including forty volumes of English novels, in which the Bible and the Koran were classed under the head of “polities.” More important still for those who love the picturesque details of history and great men. be was accompanied by his then private secretary, Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrlenne, from whose always entertaining if not invariably accurate pen we have a capital ac-

count of the voyage to Egypt.

Much of the time was passed by Napoleon lying in his berth while Bour rienne read to him and in promoting discussions on various questions among the scientiilc and other distinguished men who accompanied the expedition. The flagship carried a population of more than -iJ.OOO souls, and the cry of “Man overboard!" was not infrequent. On these occasions Bonaparte display ed a side of his character to which full justice Is not always done. Bour rienne describes bis agitation till a tvs cue was effected us extreme. On one occasion a false alarm was raised dur Ing the darkness of night, and the supposed "man" proved to be the quarter of a bullock which bad dropped from the rigging, but Napoleon rewarded the rescuers even more liberally than usual, pointing out that their exertion bad been for what they believed a hit

man life.

The fleet arrived off the coast of Africa on July 1, and here Rourrienue and his “Memoirs" leave the squadron to accompany the army and bis chief on land. Brueys, the French admiral, had during the voyage expressed forebodings as to the result of an encounter with the British fleet. Nelson, who sailed from Syracuse on July 25, was confident, but well knew the price he might be called upon to pay. When Captain Berry said. "If we succeed, what will the world say?” Nelson r,*plied: “There Is no if in the case. That we shall succeed Is certain. Who may live to tell the story is a very different question.” For himself lie made that famous anticipation, “A peerage or Westminster abbey.” Tlie battle begun at C:30 o’clock, half an hour before nightfall. Nelson, on board the Vanguard, flew bis colors In six places lest they should be shot away. In a few minutes after the ship bad gone Into action the crews of the first six gnqs were swept away by the terrible lire of the French fleet, and twice again during the tight were fresh crews called for. The shot which struck Nelson on the head tore from his forehead a piece of skin which, falling over bis one useful eye, rendered him f>r the time being totally blind. Carried to the cockpit, be insisted on taking bis proper turn among the wounded for the surgeon’s attention. Soon after 9 o'clock at eight, while he was still below, a cry arose that the Orient was on tire. Unaided and unnoticed in the confusion, Nelson made Ills way up, and presently from the quarterdeck his voice was heard shouting orders that tlie boats should he lowered to go to the assistance of the Orient’s crew. The doomed French flagship had but just been painted, and quantities of oil and Inflammable material littered her deck. Rrueys, the admiral, was dead, but Louis Casablanca and bis little son were si ill on deck. At 10 o’clock the shiti blew’ up. “Tlwre came a burst of thunder sound,” and, although tlie commodore was not at the time lying “unconscious of his son/ us the poetess has it. for botli weiv seen clinging to a floating mast after the explosion, neither father nov son was among the seventy members of the crew who were saved by the Eng-

lish boats.

From (lie mainmast and Ironwork of Ihe Orient Captain Hnllowell of the Bwiftsure had a coffin made, w! h h “memento morl” he presented to the admiral that lie might at the close of his career of glory be buried In one of bis own trophies. Nelson received this offering In tlie spirit of the giver and even kept it set up on end In Ills cabin till the remonstrance of his favorite servant brought about its banishment.—Loudon Globe.

gressors are men students, and it is

thought, are freshmen.

As to the nature of the unfair work Professor North says that one fellow permitted the other to copy all In.-, ( ollaieial notes and to hand them in as his own. When it came to ■ idling pledges of honesty, one young man complied, while ihe othei balked. It was in this way that

I lie disc overy was made.

When asked concerning the penally, Prof. North said: “1 believe, it is ne ew-ary to tlie high standard of the department, that at least one of the students be punished. Owing to a miounderstandiug of the rules, the student who lent his notebook will be e.\ used. Tlie instructor then stated that it had not yet been decided just what punishment will be meted out to the other student but it will doubtless be rather severe. In the future it will be just as much a crime to

give aid as to receive it.

In referring to the DePauw-Wa-bash game, the Crawfordsville’s correspondent for the Indianapolis News says: Coach Jones realizes that DePauw will be a mighty stiff proposition for his team and he is determined to have his men in shape to win the game. None of the men show any ill effects from the Notre Dame contest of last Friday and every one who took part in that game will be seen in the DePauw lineup, indications are ihui tlie crowd in attendance at the DePauw game will he larger than that which witnessed the Notre Dame game. Manager Hairy Eller is making preparations to accommodate a bigger crowd. DePauw will come here with a band of eighteen pieces and also with about four hundred rooters. Wabaslt will tlso have the Crawfordsville band at the game. Manager Eller has announced that Walter Eckersall, cf Chicago, will referee; Professor Esterline, of Purdue. umpire, and Jack Siler, of Illinois, act as head linesman at the game. After the game, all of the Wabash fraternities will, in some way entertain their DePauw brethren

METHODIST TO BE STRONG ERIDAY

The senior class held a short meeting at noon Wednesday to consider tlie matter of getting caps and gowns. The idea in ordering them tills early is in order that the class may be ready to appear in them at the inauguration of President McConnell, in case that event occurs during the second term. Charles Whitehall’, Miss Lillian Barton, and Miss Blanche Ayres were appointed to make investigations. The question of a distinctive class garment was discussed, and the following committee was appointed to consider the matter and report to the class: Samuel Hollopeter, Roy Millikan, Miss Myrta Smith, Miss Clara Jakes and Miss Margaret Pyke. It was suggested that it would he a good thing to start a movement looking to trie permanent adoption of class garments for all four classes, with the idea of establishing a tradition. The senior members of tb< Student Council were appointed to confer with the Student Council in regard to the matter.

Within the j next few days the personnel of the it ague wilt be announced. Tliis year the Debate Couucil will schedule contests with both western institutions, though future arrangements will be made with only one of them. The local debaters are enthusiastic over the prospects of the western trip, as only one team will go debating Cornell, at Ml.

TO SOUTH BEND

Dr. II. A. Gobin Will AtU-ml Mouth Bend \ . M. C. A. Meeting.

Dr. H. A. Gobin will go to South Bend Saturday to attend the State Young Men's Christian Association convention. Tlie vice-president will have a prominent place on the program. The convention opens on Friday and is to he known as the ’’Big Men's Convention” and U is needless to say thal Dr. (Jobin is counted one of the "big men.” He will discuss on Saturday, "The Employment of State Secretaries for Work Among Boys.” Dr. Gobin will represent DePauw from the faculty. • On Sunday the vice-president will fill one of the Methodist pulpits in the northern city.

if the regulars can not complete the lineup by that time. Harmon is still out of the game but Whitehair was out in togs yesterday during part of the practice. Hawthorne who was out of the Earlham game with an injured ankle was in at right guard again yesterday. The general soreness that was especially noticeable in the work during the first part of the week has disappeared with the improved football weather and the team work in yesterday’s practice was the snappiest kind that has been displayed on McKeen Field for a week or two. Coach Brown lias given on one day of actual scrimmage work this week and the men that start Friday’s game will be in Good physical shape. Grady and Overman are both working out dally with their booting toes and will undoubtedly use the stunt to good advantage in the game. Overman is running the quarterback position this week and can be counted on for from forty to fifty-five yards whenever punting is necessary. Grady’s work at half Is working well at practice and LeVan at tackle can still be used to advantage in carrying the ball. The clouds of the first of the week are clearing up and it is now thought that DePauw can muster a strong aggregation to face the Little Giants even if some of the regulars are

missing.

The managers of the Glee Club have just about decided on tlie Christmas itinerary. All of the contracts have not yet been signed, but at least partial arrangements have been made in nearly all cities that the Club will visit it was thought that the trip would include some ol the Ohio River cities, hut this plan may have to he abandoned since these places have conflicting attrac lions for the holiday season. The trip will probably include the follow lug cities: Greenfield, Newcastle, Knightstown, Comiersville, Greens burg, Rushville, North Vernon, Shelbyville, Martinsville and Mooresville. The spring vacation trip will include cities of Illinois and Northern In-

diana.

Prof. vonKleiusmid is meeting the club three times a week and reports that live progresy is being made with the new music. Thus far the club has been practicing many pieces and the regular program will not be chosen for some time.
