A College Story
An Interesting Tale of stubs'
NoiwUm banjo
YOU Bee," said the Princeton man,
"Stub (iillis was euch an all-
around white- mau and It didn't seem
square to leave him out of anything
that was going1 on. It Wasn't just that
he-was the best halfback in all the col
leges that gave him such a hold, but he
was just the squares kinU of a chap,
and thero wasn't a more popular man

have enough dramatic gumption to
shift Bcenca, and he waddled through
oil part like a duck across a hotitove.
But that was all right; everybody want-
ed to see Stub (.iillis, tho famoua half
back, and he was a drawlngcard. Then
came tho proposition to run him in on
he Glee and Ilanjo club winter trip.
wnaoasistant. manager and I pushed it
along all I knew, for Stubs and I were
reat old puis. Just tao samel knew
he was ft dead .s on the tune racket.
"Well, the manager went up against
Vim and asked him If he could sing

" 'Singtuiiesjild tho manager,
"'I oan singie class song,' says
stub, -bot vm the onjy one thatcanu
what It Is I'm singing. As a tnller I
srsss'
our mouth go without letting any
noise out of it?' says the nianngcr
I'd hate to trust myself,' Stub said.
"That put him out of the Glee club
business, but there was still the banjo
club. All sorts of instruments gotinto
hat, but the only thing the candidate
had ever even tried to play was a Jewa
.arp, and he couldn't bnck himself for
any record-breaking oratorios on that,
i It looked pretty dark, and Stub felt
! wurzy, for he was rooting deep to go
, along. I put in some tlunks aliout it
and dug up an idea.
" 'Look here,' I said to the manager,
'IH rig up a banjo for Stubs with falcc
strings and we'll put him in the second
row, where ho won't be a. murk for all
the spy glasses in the house, and teach

I,. . , , , ., , ,
I thing but a gigantic success.
(io ahead with vour banjo,' said the
manager, 'only look out that the
string don't stiffen up and turn out a
spiel when it isn't wanted.'
"It didn't take me long to get that
instrument rigged; looked like the real
thing, too, but you couldn t get any
more racket, out of the strings than
out of a lump of putty. They were a
sort of hemp arrangement, stiffened up
lo no like (jut and to make sure of
. , Mi ,
Its being on the quiet the bridge ami
tail jiicce were plugged with felt. At
first Stub was kind of sore; said he'd
rather be a tailor's dummy and make
an honest living. Put ufter I'd taught
him the motions he took to it all right
und used lo come to rehearsals regular
ly, so he'd know when to leavo off fils
picking and when to begin on it again
When wc trot started on the trip, we

1 , ,, , , . .
iHrls WOtlld Wait in line IOr I11II1 to take
them up the aisle. It was a case of zero
for the other ushers. At the receptions
lifter the show, too. Stub was a hot
: tomale, but it didn't get him stuck on
1 Imsclf. for he wasn't that kind. Ho
was nn easy kingpin till wo struck New
Orleans, and there he made the break
1 of his life
"It was Sunday evening when we
, landed.ln.that resort of Mardl Oras and
i other large and healthy joys, and wp
Oft of scattered around to getablrcTs
1 oya flow of the town. When it came to
viewing a town Stub was a bird with
eyes all over him, and I guess be saw
enough to write a book about, only I
haven't heard that he ever wrote it
Anyway, he stayed out so late that
night that he forgot his name, and
when he showed up Monday noon he
tried to moke the gang believe that he
was the father of his country, and his
first name was George. lie couldn't re
member the other one, and It made no
difference anyway, as he intended to
make his debut as a soloist that very
night under the alias of Signor Stub
bini. It was in order to get Stub out
of that frame of mind, so we treated
him internally and externally with am
monia cocktails and cold baths until he
rounded to a pitch of humility that
made him sad enough to bring tears
to the eyes of an instructor in math.
He said ho was a crawling worm and
he'd like to go out and dig holes In the
garden. After that he had a big din
ner. It braced him upto beatthe band.
The manager and I put him through
the alphabet and the multiplication
table and the shorter catechism and de
cided that he was all right to show up
that night. That's where we6prinkled
our record with hayseed.
"Do you know what a hang-over is?
Well, a hang-over is one of those jagB
that takes a nap way in the back of
your brain and leaves you feeling pret
ty solid with yourself until it wakes up
again. When it gets waked up It's time
for your friends to tie ropes around
you and lock you In a room. That's
what the manager and I ought to have
done with Stub, for he had a hang-over
like the eaves of a house. If he'd only
shown it a little more but he didn't.
I tackled him nn hour before concert
time when ho was getting into his dress
clothes.
" 'Feel all right?' I asked him.
" 'Feel like a bird,' he said. 'Say, if!
had the real thing in a banjo to-night
Instead of that fake cheese, box you
rigged for me I could tear the eternal
soul of muslo right out of It. Let's hove
a cocktail.'
"'Never a one,' I said. It's up to you
to drink ice water.'
No,' said he. 'It would put out the
fires of genius. I feel the spirit of
Tleethoven and Wagner and Mozart and
the man that wrote "Johnny Get Your
Gun" all stirring within me. Great
song, "Johnny, (let Your fiun" Is.'
"Yes, but yon don't need to sing It,
I said, for Stub had taken a long breath
and opened his mouth. 'Sure you're all
right?'
Truly rural,' says Stub. 'Six slick,
sl!m, small saplings. Think I could do
those stunta if I wasn't? W atch me tie
my tie.'
Now, It's really something of a trick
for a man to put up a dresa tie in a nent
bow unless he's pretty steady, nndbtub
tied a gent's furnishing store model in
three moves. That settled my doubts.
When I left him he was singing. He
said it was 'America' because he was
patriotic. Three minutes lorter I met a,
Doy in we nan carrying nvucucauuu
on a tray. I asked him where they were
going. He ssiid to Mr. GU1U. I told him
to charge 'em to Mr. Gillls' private ac
count and drank em both. Then I
srnt Jerry Corley. who sat next to Stub
in the banjo line, to hover over him on
angel wings and see that he didn't es
tablish lines of communication with
any more booze. Jerry was a careful
chap. He did the angel wing business
with an eagle eye attachment and land
ed Stuh at the concert hall so late tfiat
he couldn't usher. Stub said he didn't
feel much like ushering, anyway; felt
kind of compressed around the head;
effect of the pressure of his musical
thoughts on the inside most likely.
During the first piece he got along all
right. From my place at the other end
I got a glimpse of him pecking away
at Ids hemp strings with a kind of rapt
look like a man hitting up something
long and cold through a straw with the
thermometer at 00 degrees.
Aa I said, Jerry Corley was a careful
sort of man, but he got his eye on a
girl in the audlenoe that he used ta
know, and I guess it rattled, him, lor
when he gathered up the boxes for our
second appearance Stub goldbricked
Jerry and got his banjo, and Jerry was
in such a trance that he never noticed
that he was up against Stub's hemp
llned silence-spreader till he hit his
chair. Then ho made a swipe for Ms
banjo, but Stub warded him off and the
trouble begnn. It woe some kind of a
jiggerlng waltz wc had for that time
and it began with some Httle Unkly
picks on the mandolins, very soft and
birdy. Well, tho mandolins started in,
and first thing I knew I heard a kind ofi
wild whisper from Jerry Corley:
" 'Don't touch the strings, Stub.'
"Then Stub's boss voice said:
" 'Leggo that banjo, Jerry. Drop it
or I'll kick vour chair over.'
"There was a kind of scraping of the !
chairs and I saw a couple of beads of
water come out on the leader's alabas
ter forehead. Off i n the wings the man
ager was doing a war dance and whis
pering so that you could feel the wind
of It rustling your hair.
" 'Stub, you blank fool, don't pick
those strings. Put that bridge down!
Keep your hands off. Wait for the
rest.'
"Itwas too late. Stub had his ar
rangements all mode and just as the
mandolins were twittering their Inst
little twinks before they came to the
jumplng-off place, where the whole
bunch of us came In with a crash, Stub
came out on his banjo:
'Itoora. riinkety-plunkety-plnrk:
Plnnkty-plunkty-whangl'
"Oh. it was heart-breaking. The
mmndoHns stopped as If a brick Wall
had fallen nn 'em. The leader smiled
a sickly kind of smile, and the manager
just Mood and naturally choked him
self to keep from yelling. Th au
dience was kind of surprised, but n
snicker ran around. Stub executed a
few more plunks before he discovered
that he was playing a solo. Then he
got up and started for the front, lean
ing a little forward under the weight of
his hang-orer. He had only Corley to
pass before reaching open space. Jerry
did his beat, but he was a little chap,
and Stub trampled over him, remark
ing: " 'Jerry, you've got more legs than
a centipede. Take 'em away.'
"Just as Stub gained the open floor
Jerry had a great idea. He made a
quick pass at the banjo and knocked
down the bridge. It made a consider
able snap, but Stub didn't, seem to no
tice It. On he went, and when he got
to the front he said:
" This is my first chance at a real
banjo. (Shut up, you fellows.; I won't
sit down. You're, jealous.) I've been
doing a thinking part in this concert
too long. My friend back there has
now got my noiseless cheesebox and
I've got his banjo. I will now play
a. tune of my own selection. (Morse
ley, If you put a hand on me I'll throw
you up into the wings.)'
"I5y that time half the club was it.
a cold sweat, and the other half wo
making a sneak for the exits. The
glee club in the wings was living up
to its name. It didn't feel the respon
sibility, and there were snorts and
Whoops all over the place. Stub railed
for silence. Theu he began to pick at
his banjo. Maybe you never tried to
play a banjo with the bridge down. It
makes aliout as much noise as a lly
walking across a window pane. Stub
picked away a couple of times, then he
looked at the banjo, and I never saw
such a sod, woe-begone, dead-broke,
homesick layout of features as he pre
sented. He held out the banjo at arm's
length.
" 'Ladies and gentlemen,' he-said. 'As
our long-dead friend. George Washing
ton Irving sang:
" "The harp that once through Tarn's
halls
The soul of music shed
Now hangs as mutu on Tara's walls
As If that soul were dead.
Ta-ra-ra-hoom-do-ay !
Tara " '
"He got as far as that, and then the
manager and half a dozen of the glee
club made a rush and fell on him and
dragged him off. Hut the audience was
in hysterics. I never saw an audience
behave tho way that one did. It was
liko a football crowd when the first
touchdown is made. It was a hard
flghit to keep Stub from going out to
respond to un encore, lie said he was
the hit of the evening, and I guess he
was. Kvery other number we showed
up for the audience yelled for Stub, but
he had gone home in a rab, and when
we reached the hotel he was In the bar
room offering to back himself against,
any banjo player In the country.
"Fire him from the club? No, we
had hnrd work to keep him In it. When
he woke up the next morning and re
membered what he had done, he was
for taking the next train home. Hut
he took a farewell drink and the pledge
instead, and for the rest of the trip you
couldnt get him to lay hands on a
banjo, unless he was. satisfied it was
his own noiseless article." N. Y. Sun.
NAPOLEON AS PLAYWRIGHT.
His Only Attempt, the TniKMly of
"Hector-," Tn lev Rejected at
the Theater FrtutcaJs.
The career of "The Little Corporal"
hsst so oft?n nfiVn-ded pnlvuhim to the
dramatist It seems quite in keeping to
learn that Napoleon was hinuscl'f the
author of a tragedy; a poor thing, but
moat undoubtedly his own. The bee-ret
was well preserved until a few
days before his death, when he revealed
it to his old friend, Geh. Ikrtrand.
A decade before l.e liec'iine emperor
Donaparto had enjoyed himself in the
little leisure allowed from military
work in tbe composition of n tragedy.
On his accession to tbe throne he put
tho play in the hands of Jean Luce
de Lancival, a professor ut the Col
lege de Navarre, and himself a drama
tist, with instructions to lick it into
thorough theatrical shape and to sub
mit it to the committee of the Theater
Francais as his own. To Najioleon's
greet annoyance, the tragedy was un
ceremoniously rejected. lint he was
determined upon its representation,
and Instructed its putative author to
send lrnck the mnnusoript with the fol
lowing command in the imperial hand
writing: "The players of the Theater
Francais are to perform tho accom
panying tragedy within a fortnight."
Gone(juently Luce tic Lancivai's sup
posed tragedy of "Hector" was submit
ted to the nubile on October L 1800.
Tho perspective of time gave Napoleon
I true idea of the qualities of his piece,
and in making the revelation to Gen.
Hertroind he frankly admitted that the
fcommitte were right In their estimate,
as "Hector" was only redeemed from
utter failure by the brilliant acting
of liis friend Talma.
It was Napoleon's first and last at
tempt to add theatrical laurels to his
elntplet. By way of compensntlon to
Prof. Lancival for the humiliation he
had suffered he bestowed on him the
order of the Legion of Honor. One
critic who had spoken flatteringly of
the play, M. de .louy, of tno tiazcue
de France, came In for similar honors.

Uncle Dan recently purchased a min
iature printing press for his young
nephew, a present on the day he be
came six years old. The boy was de
lighted, and, being exceedingly fond of
his uncle, thought he would print him
some cards. "I'll print some cards for
you, so when you go to see people they
will know who you are," he told his
uncle. The uncle was overjoyed at this
mnrk of affection, but wondered If
Willie would not forget all about It.
Not so Willie. The next evening he
came into tho room, his hands full of
neatly-printed cards, and, laying them
down before his uncle, exclaimed: "I
printed everyone of my cards for you.
The fond uncle picked them up nnd
examined tbem. The boy had dutifully
done his work of love, and on each card
was neatly inscribed his name, "Uncle

EXPLANATORY
L Jesus Entertained ut Ilethany.
Vs. 1, !. The rising of Lazarus from the
dead, as described in our last lesson,
produced so much excitement and
uwakened such bitter hostility that
Jesus left the region of Jenisnlem and
spent a few weeks in retirement with
His disciples nt Ephraitn in the moun
tainous district north of Jerusalem.
As the I'assoTcr drew near, Jesus
went across the Jordan and descended
on the other side through I'erea to the
fords opposite Jericho, healing and
teaching by the way. Thence he went
up toward Jerusalem and reached
Bethany on Friday evening. March 31,
I "It ,'ovb lipfnr. tlia PrtKlwiviT " Here
lie spent Sat urday, the Jew ish Sabbath,
doubtless with the fami'y "that Jesus
loved."
2. "There they made Him a supper."
In the little town of Bethany JeeaiSThad
become popular, and since the raising
of Uiznrus He was regarded with
marked veneration. The supper was
or. Saturday evening, after the Jewish
Sabbath was endetl at sunset, and nt
the house of Simon the leper, probably
one who had been cured by Jesus.
"Lazarus was one of them that sat at
the table:" What had been done for
him by Jesus made him an honored
guest.
II. The F:'J. of Precious Odors
Poured Upon the Feet of Jesus. V. 3.
"Then took Mary a pound of ointment
of spikenard:" lly the ointment we
are to understand rather a liquid per
fume than what wc commonly know ns
ointment. "Very costly:" worth-about
$300 or $400 In our time. "Anointed the
feet of Jesus:" She first "poured It
over His head" (Mark), but John no
tices only her pouring It upon Ills feet,
for It was common to pour It upon the
hend, and expressed- the usual senti
ments of honor to a guest; butanolnt
ing the feet, was unusual, and expressed
tho tenderer', most humble, most rev
erential, unutterable affection. "And
wiped Ills fi , l with her hair:" This,
too, was unusual. She took "woman's
chief ornament," and deroted it to wip
ing the travel-stained feet of her
teacher.
III. Doxes of Money Versus Flasksof
Fragrance. Vs. 4-fi. 4. 'Then saith
. . . Judas Iscnriot:" He looked up
on this as a waste, and his mutterings
convinced some of the other disciples so
thnt they Joined with him in his con

6. "Not that he cared for the poor:"
He was acting under false pretenses.
"Bare what was put therein:" rather,
took away, as H. V stole. Or his bear
ing the money bag gave him the oppor
tunity to steal.
IV. The Two Answers of Jesus in De
fense of Mary's Act. Vs. 7, 8. 7. "Then
said Jesus:" If we conbine the reports
of the three evangelists, it will appear
that Christ's words were substantially
ns follows: "Let her alone. Why
trouble ye the woman? for she hath
wrought a good work upon me; she
hath done what she could; against the
day of my burying hath she kept this,
and is come beforehand to anoint my
body for the burial." "Let her alone:"
Spoken chiefly to Judas. It was the
language of sharp rebuke. Jesus was
indignant nt the hypocrisy of Judas
and the dull perceptions of the others.
The first defense of Mary's deed wns
that It was a high act of a noble soul ex
pressing Its noblest emotions. The sec
ond defense was that the act did not
interfere with gifts to the poor.
8. "For the poor ye huvo always with
you : " They would have plenty of oppor
tunities to aid them; and thernore they
did for their Master, the more they
would do for the poor, for the poor are
left in His stead, and through them
would be expressed the increased love
of the Master.
V. Conclusion. More Opposition
and More Faith. Vs. 0-11. 0. "Much
people:" The II. V., uses a Greek text
which Inserts the article so thatit reads
"the common people," in contrast with
the rulers. These, incited by curiosity.
went to see the wonder worker, and the
man on whom he had wrought this mar
velous work.
10. "But the chief priests consulted
that they might put Lazarus also to
death:" This standing public proof of
Jesus as the Messiah must be put away
at any cost,
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
The first condition of all really great
moral excellence is a spirit of genuine
self-sacrifice nnd self-renunciation.
A curious writer says: "If my friends
have alabaster boxes full of fragrant
perfume of sympathy and affection laid
away, which they intend to break over
my body, I would rather they would
bring them out In my weary nnd
troubled hours, and open them, that 1
may be refreshed and cheered by them
while I need them. ... I would
rnther have a plain coflln without n
flower, a funeral without a eulogy, than
life without the sweetness of love and
sympathy. . . . Flowers on the cof
fin cast no fragrance backward on the
weary road."
