DRAMATIC ENTRY OF KA’SER
D:D NOT TAKE PLACE
Then somethin? happened. Perhaps It *
was the defeat of the Marne and tlie feeling j
that his was the blame; perhaps the chasten- j
in? effect of the famous and humiliating '
! wait in the rain before Nancy, with a regi- >
ment of household cavalry in full dress uni- !
forms, their splendid plumes and pennants
drooping and dripping. For four hours the .
kaiser and his White Curiassiers waited
while the Bavarians, under Prince Ruprecht, 1
termed the lines of General de Castelnau.
Thousands fed. but the sacrifice did not ,
•avail. The kaiser did not make his tri
ll: uphay entry into Nancy at the time sched
uled, or ai any time, and the war lord wc: j
awuv from there, after ordering his cavalry
back into service uniforms and directing
that the moving picture films taken of the
cavalcade be destroyed.—John Balderston,
in McClure’s.

“WhaPs a philanthropist, pa?"
“He’s a variety of things, my son, but

• The spirit of self-restraint and seif-con

idly both abroad and in this country during
the hot year that it would be well for us to

create through a free and frank discussion

letters which 1 have received from true and
sincere friends of Princeton since commence

and that we. as Princeton men. must see
clear and think straight on this subject.”
WOULD SOON BE FUNNY
Not long ago a p< rtly gentleman seated
himself upon a beneh in one of the public
squares, drew forth a newspaper from his j
pocket and soon was absorbed in reading.
After a while he began to be annoyed by i
a small boy, who persisted in staring at him i
steadily. At last the man demanded sharply: j
“What are you looking a\ boy? l< there j
anything funny about me?”
“Not yet,” replied the boy; “but there’ll;
be a whole circus full of fun when you get
up. Them benches has just been painted. ,

A CROWDED STEAMER
A fnmd was •• m plaining tin Nut day
to Captain. Buber. p. r captain of the st:Op
pilots, says a . V,i Francisco paper, about the
crowded condition of ilie steamboat on
which he recently made a trip.
“F-*ur in a room?” replied Barber. “That’s
nothing.
“You should have trawled in the day- of
the gold rush to California. I remember one
trip out of New York we carried more than
1,000 passengers, and If you put fifty on that
ship today there'd be a holler that would
reach Washington and make trouble for
somebody. To show you how crowded it was
and what ‘crowded’ really means, three days
out fvom New York a chap walked up to
the old man and said:
“‘Captain, you really must find me a
place to sleep.’
“ ‘Where in thunder have you been sleep
ing until now?’ asked the old man.
“ ‘Well,’ says the fellow, ‘you see, it's this
way. I’ve been sleeping on a sick man. but
lie's getting better now and won’t stand for
if much longer.’ ”
THE RIGHT SORT OF BAIT
A Methodist bishop was recently a gueat
at the home of a friend who had two charm
ing daughters. One morning the bishop, ac
companied by the two young ladies, went
out in the hope of catching some trout. An
old fisherman, out for the same purpose, j
wishing to appear friendly, called out:
“Ketchin’ many, pard?”
The bishop, drawing himself to his full
height, replied: “Brother, I as a fisher of
men.”
“You’ve got the right kind of bait, all
ri*:ht,” was the fisherman’s rejoinder —Ex.
