"Hold vour head still, foi the lovn Mike," scowled one to the shivering lady. "Tho light Is too stiong," giowled an other, and during the whole proceeding there was a chorus of lamentation about the futility of n college course The sceno now shifts to tho floor above. Sllghtlv before the class below started one of the freshman or tho school, hav ing much leisure and having become blase and sophisticated from sketching luonze and plaster figures, hnd a blight Iden. He procured four little gimlets and four little freshmen who also ha.I a few lelsuro moments. Five little "frcshles" then went lms to work, with tho re. lit that In a JlfT.v there weie live neat llttlo half-inch holes hoicd In the Moor. Until the entrance of the model Into tho room below golden sti earns of Hunxhlno streamed into the seniors' studio. Hut as soon as tho class started to work tho apertures became dark. A freshman eve was studiously glued to each little holu In the Moor. Thev traded views. They enlarged the holes stealthily. They stood on their heads. Cnch anil every one, ns he gawd steadfastly and appteclatlvely nt the fig ure on the platform, resolved firmly to study with nil his might In order that lie, too, might sorno day bo n dignified senior nnd see "life." J'jst about this time each llttlo ficsli man felt h squinny cold chill tvvlno ! tho veitebrae of his llttlo back. Foi. as they crouched prostrate over the holes, a deep, stern voice said from the direc tion of the door, "Tonight nt midnight be ready'" Thon tile door closed before the trembling "Toms" could sec who had uttered the fearful words The five little "freshles" at once lost all Interest In the scene In the studio below. "Who wns It?" shivered one. "Senich me-e," snld another "Let's git while the going's good," suggested another llttlo "fresh," and as silently as thev had en tered tho live men sneaked from the building; then they ran six blocks on Lo cust street before they dared look around. Nothing hnppened. "Some on was kidding us," thev de cided, and then went to their rooms In tho "dotms," a merry whistle on their lips and nn all-gono feeling In tho region of their live little solar-plexuses. When supper had been eaten and n night of study had passed without even the sign of a ghost or an avenging hnnd. tho live llttlo fteshmen breathed easier and final ly went to bed. Hut promptly at midnight, when they w-ero fast nsleep, tho bolts fell. Knch man was divested of hl3 "llttlo nighty" and was marched outside into the cold night. They were taken to the basement of tho Art School and Immersed ns mimv minutes ln the blue-print baths as they had "peeped." Kach was then hustled homo at the end of a long paddle. This morning they aro taking rough drops und quinine. Lach little "fieshle" has decided that "life Is indeed a bitter thing " NONSUIT REFUSED IN BANANA TRUST CASE Court Overrules Motion for De fense and Trial Will Go to a Finish A motion to nonsuit tt.-e most tedloua trial that ever confronted a Judge and Jury in thU city waa overruled today by Judgo Thompson when he decided that tho lo,000,000 "Uanana Trust" suit must bo decided by a Jury. The case Is tho one in which the re ceiver for the Illuetlelds Steamship Com pany, Ltd., Is attempting to recover dam ages from the United Fruit Company on the ground that tho latter concern bought a contiolllng Iterest In the other company and then strangled Its banana-growing and Importing business. 'The question to b decided in this case is one of fact," Judge Thompson said in giving his decision, "end for that rea son Is for tha Jury. The motion for non suit Is overruled." Every one In tho courtroom except the defense received the decision with. mani fest relief. Had tho Court granted tho motion for nonsuit six tedious weeks of work, as well as thousands of dollars ex ptnded In preparing the case, would have been wasted, as would the time lost from business by the jurors. So far the developments have been mainly In the nature of legal clashes between George Wharton Pepper; repre senting the defense, and Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, counsel for the plaintiff. It Is expected that another month will be required to present the defendant's side of the case and that more than 60 witnesses will be called by the plaintiff. NEXT MAYOR FACES BIG DEFICIT IN FIRST YEAR Shortage Will Amount to $3, 000,000, According to Pres ent Outlook Mayor-elect Thomas II. Smith nnd the members of his cabinet will face a deficit of probablj $3,000,000 In the current funds of tho city during tho tlrsl year of the new administration. What tha deficit will bo In the event of the passage of nny big loan, such as tho measure calling for $!'5,00O,0n0, 3 but a matter of mathematical calculation of Interest nnd Sinking Fund payments. The appropriations for nil departments for 1316. ns completed by the members of Councils' Finance Committee, do not near ly provide for the operating expenses of the cits during tho next 12 months, ns provision Is not made for tho full needs of the puvroll of the Police Bureau. Tho police money for next December, nt lenst, will have to come from n tem porary loan, to be lloaled next fall, ns It Is agreed that there will be few items left for "transfer" In tho closing months of tho first year of tho new administra tion. Other Hems of almost equal linpnrtince hnve been shortened so ns to make the np pioprlatlon bills come within the J31.S27.0SS of estimated avnllnble levenues for 1D15. The cutting of well over $P,000.(W from the estlmnted needs leaves no provision for mnny Items that will have to be cared for next fall.
