"ON TO THE ATTACK, QIBL8!" fol pastoral life and the atmosphere of in­souciance whlolt pervaded the plaoo. Lit­tle did the bleared sun imagine as ha poured his fostering rays on Mitchell hall that this very spot would be the scene of an awful amaaonio conflict before the witching, ghastly hour of 19 should weak­en feminine hearts and bravado and see feminine forms skulking away from the conflict with more trophies and less sense.

About 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the eventful day a little olique of seven or eight girls Btepped into French's drug store, on the main street of the town, and purchased a dozen or more infants' drink­ing bottles, complete with all appurte­nances, and a oouple of dozen packages of prepared baby food. Having sworn the druggist to absolute secrecy, they emerged from the place and wended their way book to Mitchell Hall by a circuitous route to avoid discovery. The ammunition had l »eeu obtained! Now to await the tima of onslaught!

It was the day which had been chosen for the annual Initiation of the freshmen female students of the university. In past years this initiation of freshmen had been a tame affair, .scarcely worth the mentioning, but In '95 the class of '98

leant to make this hazing expedition something important enough to go down in the annals of the college.

The supper hour passed quietly, save for the gay laughter that a crowd of girls al­ways arouses. Little did the "infants"

Imagine that they were at the eve oi a nor-rible conflict, when the class honor would be at stake. Of course, like all good chil­dren in a well directed household, they re­tired early after preparing, with conscien­tious effort, their lesson* assigned for toe coming Monday. This is after the man­ner of freshmen.

Promptly at 10 a horrible yell like an Indian warwhoop resounded in the seoond corridor of Mitchell Hall—a yell that shook the panes in the old window frames until they Jingled.

"On with the attack, girls 1" shouted the ringleader of the hazing committee. "Now or never I What's the matter with '981- We're all right!" Then from the rear lines came the resounding yell, by way of a "Greek chorus:"

Eyta, bay ta, zota, gayta, Nieccaton bah, nieccaton bah, Niecoaton bah, nieccaton hah,

'96, '98, rah, rah, rah! This was enough to arouse fear in the

stoutest heart; it made the freshmen quake.

The sophomores pushed on unmolested, a band of about 30 determined individuals, led by the ringleader and the hazing com­mittee. The room singled out to be storm­ed contained three girls, to the consterna­tion of the sophomores, who expected to And but one. Scores of them might have been in hiding. It was so unexpected that i t dissipated a little of the sophomores' braver}*. But on rushed the ringleaders, anyway, shouting:

"Come on, girls! They gave us red pep­per last year. S o w let's gjve '99 hail Co­lumbia!" one of the "infants" commenced to cry aloud immediately, before She had been touched. That melted the heart of the ringleader straightway.

"What's the matter,ajittle girlie? Dear little fcoosey wootsy I We won't hurt you, no, no, no!" said the ringleader, with a soothing voice.

"Take yout bottle. Then we'll rock our little wabsy baby to sleep. Goo, goo, goo!" But the freshman wept on and seemed to take it as a personal affront to her dignity. That was strange. •

Then infant No. 9 was led out into the middle of the room and ordered to danon. Well, talk about skirt dances, highland flings, cancans, etc.! They would dwindle into absolute insignificance compared with

i i ' H i i i l l ill

this one. The sophs made her keep it up until she was too exhausted to stand. Then they rolled her over into • corner.

"Infant" No. 8 was seised. They han­dled bet rather roughly, considering they were not authorised policemen, but only amasons. Then, after taking all the starch out of her dignity, they proceeded to clothe the erstwhile refractory "Infant" in a robe de nuit; they fed her two or three bottles of food to stifle her cries. When quite exhausted, the ringleader rooked the dear (reside to sleep, oronlng wildly a regular battle cry. It is not stated definitely whether the freshman ever recovered.

After creating enough confusion in the room to remind one of bedlam, they emerged wielding their battle axes—or, rather their milk bottles—in token of vic­tory. Then, inspired with confidence, and with a bold front, they started down the corridor to raid the rest of the rooms. Bnt here considerable difficulty Impeded their progress. The doors had been locked! The rest of the cxass were profiting by what they had heard and had guarded themselves again*t an attack.

Poor little freshies! They cowered be-. hind dosed doors, trembling with fright, their bulging eyes riveted at the keyhole, watching the maneuvers of the enemy outside. Then it is related the heart of the ringleader truly melted. She had rev­eled In gore enough for one day. Marshal­ing her forces together, she held a council

of war and decided to abandon the fight, instead of damaging valuable university property by tearing down doors. Thus, waving the milk bottles again, they shout­ed:

Eyta, bayta, rota, gayta, Nieocaton bah, niecoaton bah,

'98, '98, rah, rah, rah! Thus they tramped away with victorious

acclamation. Not a sound was heard in the rooms of

the freshies. A dull, leaden silence brood­ed upon their camp. Their battle cry no longer resounded in the classic corridors of Mitchell Hall. Utter route and defeat had met their forces and they had not even the courage to respond with their class yell, according to custom in former battles. Thus ended the hazing expedition of the class of '88. And the owls hooted to the silent moon as the corridor clock struct 1.

Francisco and when she was vial ted by a burglar the other night abe did not heal tate tu put a bullet into him, and although she received a severe wound in the arm she bravely proposes to return to her work as soon as she loaves the doctor's care. This is her story of the affair

"About tt:*l o'clock tonight, I ing my lunch When suddenly hit the door on the ootaide. I jumped up Immediately and grabbed the revolver in the drawer. 1 intended going to the door to ses if it was securely locked whan it was driven in by a harder blow than before. The man who sprang into the room had a handkerchief or other white cloth tied over his face. He said to mo fiercely, Give me the money you've got.'

" -It's all In the safe,' I said. " 'Well, open the safe quick!' ho

commanded. As ho spoke I raised my re­volver at him and fired. We wore only about two f«*ri, apart at the time. I am sure I hit him, mid I hope I did not kill htm, but 1 think ho must have been badly hint. Then ho shot at mo and hit mo in the arm. The bullet burned my flesh, but It did not cause much pain and I did not fool like surrendering. Even if he had staid I would not have given up. He ran away, however, ao soon as his pistol wont off. I followed him to the door and saw another fellow in the gloom outside. They both ran as fast aa they could, and as they sped off I fired the other three shots in my revolver after them.

"The revolver was not my property, but was kept at the station for the protection of the operator, and I shot it off once in

After the men disappeared Mrs. Mar­shall telegraphed for help, but it was two hours before relief came and her wound was dressed. Mrs. Marshall is plucky to the core. She is a young woman, not yet SO, and has been a widow since last Match. Before her marriage, 11 years ago, she was a telegraph operator, and after her hus­band's death turned naturally to her old occupation to make a living for herself and 10-year-old son.

A decision was handed down the other day by Vice Chancellor Emery of New Jersey by which about IL800 will bo di­vided equally among five young men. On Aug. 87, 1870, William Cashman, Thejba* Fox, Robert Devine, Charles Fox and William Crawford were roaming along the banks of the Elizabeth river, at Elizabeth, N. J . , near the Pennsylvania railroad tracks, when Crawford picked up an old stocking tied at both ends and full of something. Crawford, then 9 years old, was the youngest of the five. He began to swing the stocking as a plaything. He says Cashman took the stocking from him, bnt the others say ha threw it down and then Cashman picked It up. However that was, each took a turn hitting the others with it.

Finally i t burst and some rags and rib­bons foil out, together with a roll of bills. The boys counted $755. They started to divide the cash, but were interrupted, and finally they took it to Fox's father, who turned it over to John Keron, then chief of police, with a request that be find the owner. No owner ever appeared. Craw­ford wanted it all on the ground that he found the money. The others demanded that it be equally divided, and the case was carried to court. After various com plicatious i t got into chancery, where It lay for a long time.

When they found the money, they were mere schoolboys. Now three of them are married, while the division of the money, which has been increased by Interest, will probably load to the marriage of a fourth. —New York Sun.

MEW SHAKER PLAN. Offord to Head a Reformed Com­

munity l a the West. , The two eloping Shakers, Elder Daniel

Offord and Sister Mabel Franklin, from New Lebanon, are to play a prominent part i n a new industrial community along Shaker lines, except that celibacy will not be pract iced. Elder Offord, i t Is stated, be­lieves that he has, after 86 years of study, discovered the causes of the decline of Shakerdom, and now intends to lend his aid to a new community of social Shaker- , ism in California.

In this ho will have the co-operation, i t ts said, of a number of the most promi­nent members of the north family of Lebanon Shakers, and the intention is to throw the doors open to all, regardless of creed or belief. Elder Offord hi said to be­lieve that compulsory celibacy is neither in the interest of purity nor of the prog seas of a co-operative community. The north family at Lebanon, i t is said, will go in a body to California, and at least as many more will desert from the Shakers at Lebanon, Watervllet, Hancock, Mass.; Shirley, Mass., and in Connecticut, Ohio and Kentucky.

Negotiations win be attempted to sell the north family's Lebanon property out­right, so that the reformers will have at least* 8100,000 with which to enter upon the California enterprise.
