LAFAYETTE COLLEGE.
Whiskers Create a Commotion and Hiw-
Ing Lead to Bnnprnslons.
Tho faculty and students atLafny
ette are just now having it out, over
some recent happenings at that seat
of learning, and up-to-date several
students have been notified that
their health requires an immntlinte
change of air and surroundings.
One Henry M. Payne of Bouthold
L. I., a sophomore who wore a glossy
set of whiskors, which is against
the unwritten law of the college,
after the class picture was taken
remarked that he uot them in the
picture anyway, when the boys sug
gested that they must come off, and
lK'gnn a refrain Oh ! mo : Oh my !
How we'll ninke those -whiskers fly
It is said he assented and led the
way to tho barber shop near the
Campus. There several desired to
take part in the shearing probably to
obtain a lock of the glossy pets as a
memento of their beloved classmate.
In the general scrimmage Payne had
his fincor slightly injured, and his
temper evidently riled, for he sub
sequently obtained warrants for the
arrest of several of the participants
He seemed to think it necessary to
go to his home to have the wounded
hand dressed, and was escorted to
tho train by a large body of students
who made things rather warm for
him. The faculty have been invest!
gating the affair and the result is
that some have been susnendod. It
is claimed however that the suspen
sions are not on account of the
whiskers matters but for previous
hazing scrapes, and that Payne him
self is directly interested as a parti
cipant in one of these little pleasan
tries. At all events there has been
a shaking up and the college has at
tained considerable notoriety. The
sophomores deny the use of any
force or any intention of such
thing, and claim they only went
along with Payne for a lark after he
had suggested having his glossy ap
pendages removed. He has however
by his statements and action in ob
taining warrants probably engend
erod such a feeling among his class
mates and the studonts generally
that it will be more agreeable for
him to complete his education at
some other institution. Hazing is a
reprehensible pra'ctioe and too often
earned to an extreme. It however
has for its excuse frequently the
fpirit with which certain young
men conduct themselves within the
halls of learning. A man who is
not too self asserting.pompous, arro
gant and generally obnoxious by his
manners, is in no danger from gen
tlomen students. There are rowdys
in all grades of life, and some of
course drift in college. If they de
velop such instincts the better way
is to eliminate them, but as a rule
most of the hazing is intended sim
ply to tone down a too conspicious
example of some particularly
fresh chap who assumes airs
which are rather out of tune with
the Democratic spirit of our Ameri
can youths.
A Falso Alarm.
A short stout man, well dresssed
with an air of genteel respectability
about him, entered a Chicago bar
room, and ordered drinks. Having
satisfied his thirst, he calmly sturted
for the door, where upon the bar
tender called out "Sir, you have not
paid for those drinks." The man
stopped and replied "How can I,
haven't a cent in the world. " The
bar tender bent down under the bar
as if looking for something, the cus
tomer turned pale and in a startled
voice exclaimed "W-h-a-tyou going
to get?"
"A pistol to shoot" was the reply
in voice of thunder. With a sigh of
great satisfaction and relief the man
sank in a seat saying. "Is that all
I thought may be it was a stomach
pump."
Wealth of Acton.
The wealth of actors is generally over
estimated. Joseph Jefferson, Bol Smith
Russell, Joseph Murphy and William
Crane are rich men, of whose solid for
tunes there is little doubt But most of
them, liked Nat Goodwin aud Henry
E. Dixey, while they make enormous
sums, spend money as if they were pos
sessed of Fortuuatus' purse. They seem
to go ou the priuciple that governed
Sarah Bernhardt, when, at one of her
periodic auctions iii Paris, the replied

L. A. W. NOTES.
The Cheltenham and Willow
Orove Turnpike Company hns just
paid Chief Consul Boyle, of the
Pennsylvania division, League of
American wheelmen, t"0.30 as set
tlement in full of the claim of Geo.
H. Carter, of Philadelphia, for in-
uries to himself and wheel, caused
by one of the gate keepers in the
company's employ.
Mr. Carter, in company with sev
eral other moml-ers of the (South
End Wheelmen, was riding over the
piko and was pulled off his wheel by
the gate-tender and threatened with
more violence, and his machine was
badly damag. d, the excuse being
that he had not paid his toll. It
was proven that another member of
the party had the ticket for all, and
Mr. Carter as a member of the Lea
gue entered complaint with Chief
Consul Boyle with the above result.
In justice to the turnpike company
it should bo said that upon Mr
Boyle's presentation of the case they
settled at once, as soon as the exact
amount of damage was ascertained
This case is but one more addi
tional in the long list settled by the
chief consul during the present year
and proves more conclusively than
any other argument can the advan
tage of membership in the organiza
tion. The Agricultural Department con
cedes that the L. A. W. has done
much to aid them in their work for
good roads and in educating the peo
ple on the subjoct, not only in what
makes a good road, but how to do it.
The object lesson afforded in a cycle
path, where it is impossible to secure
a road, will eventually result in the
building of a road, if for no other
reason than the reduced cost of
hauling loads over good roads.
L. A. W. GROWTH.
Same idea of the rate at which the
League of American Wheelmen is
increasing in membership may be
obtained from the following com
parisons : During the four months,
July, August, September, and Octo
ber, 1KU5, there were 427 7 more ap
plications than during the corres
ponding period of 1894. This was
considered a remarkably rapid
growth, and was in fact the best
showing .which had ever been made
in the organization ; but during the
same four months in this year there
were 9359 more applications than
there were in 1895, or more than
double.
The total momborship at the pre
sent time is 71,845, of which 10,742
reside in Pennsylvania.

FAULTS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN.
Their Knelt. Are tl.e t'enlts of Mrn snd
Women. Their Cannon and Their Cure.
BY TMK ISIUHT IIKV. MPHOP bOAXR.
The faults of children arc tho faults of
men and women in miniature; and the
faults of American children aro the dim
inutive of the faulls of American men and
omen. They derlvo them by inheritance
or they get them by Imitation. What nre
these faults In detail?
A dear boy of whom I asked the question
What do you think are your faults?" said
owly anddellberntely, 'Thoughtlessne.- s
disobedience and rudeness." I should put
the category In this way : Disrespect and
irreverence; self Indulgence in speech and
life; careless and slipshod ways of talking;
and headlong heedlessness and hurry.
There is much inclining, and there are
many inclining, In tho act of our Ixnd,
which set a little child in tho midst if
His disciples.
First of all, of course, was tho avowed
tirposo of holding before all men, for Imi
tation, the childlike spirit, .with all Its
graces aud gifts which make children
lovely; and the fairest features of their in
born characteristics, humility, affection-
ateness, trust fulness, quick sympathies,
tho spirit to learn, religiousness, reality,
sincerity, courage, mid hope and truth.
More than this, Ho meant to teach us
the place of the child In the family for the
child's sako and for the fnmily"s sake.
But this needs explanation.
The foreign habit of separating and set
ting apart the children from the heart of
family life, of their assignment to nurses
and governesses with a now and then
look at" from the parents, Is, though
somewhat fashionable, not widespread
nmong us, I nm glad to say. Perhaps we
have gone to the other extremo, of allow
ing children to occupy and usurp too much
the Interest and attention of the household
But It Is needful for the child's develop
ment that It should grow up in the atmos
phere of love and under the watchful eye,
which carefully studios the varieties of dis
position that distinguish children from
each other, and demand diversity of disci
pliuo. Again, It Is needful for the family
to get the controlled carefulness of conduct
and expression which ought to be tbe out
come of the habitual presence of a child.
Their long enrs and sharp eyes are the
very best restraint upon the manners and
speech of their ciders.
The old heathen legend, "Let nothing
foul to car or eye cross this threshold, In
side of which is a boy," Is the keynote of
this suggestion.
"TIIK STANDARD OF UKVEHF.NCE.
The modern perversion of the idea of
American democracy breeds disrespect.
It Is a perversion. Thnt we have no "king
to honor" does not mean that "the powers
that bo" have neither dignity nor honor,
The wrangles of parties, tho personal!
ties of politics, the frequent changes of ad
ministrations, the coarse criticism of those
in authority, the vulgar vlolonco of the
partisan press, fill the air with disrespect.
And at home, where the fifth command
ment ought to lie Impressed and insisted
on, we are too free and easy about disci
pline, about our relations with children
and with each other, to keep tho standard
up, of the reverence duo to ago aud to au
thority.
Over and above this, tho careless nse of
sacred words; caricatures of and aliout the
Bible; the loose keeping of Sunday; the
neglect of church-going, of family worship
and of tho grace at meals, undermine the
foundation of reverence for God, on which
alone all real respectfulness can rest.
Our children aro too luxurious and self-
indulgent. They begin where thoir parents
leave off. What were luxuries to us are
necessities to them. In books, in dress, in
food, lu modern methods of learning,
where the teacher does all the work, in
all their ideas and expectations they are
spoiled.
Tnoy do not ''endure hardness;" they
bear no "burdens In their youth." They
learn neither self-reliance nor self-control
and with neither minds nor muscles de
veloped, they are in training, through
oversensitive nerves, for dissipation, effe
minacy, hysteria aiidgood-for-nothingncss
Why Kuglish should survive another
generation, as a noble speech, is hard to
see. inu popularity of slang, the false
counterfeits of language in the current
writings of novels and newspapers, tho un
corrected mispronunciations, tho careless
slurring of syllables, tho neglect of the
standard English classics, like Kcott and
Wordsworth, and the substitution for them
of nonsense verses and morbid melodramas
about childhood, written in sloppy and
sentimental sentences are tending to cor
rupt the language of children into a "de
filed Kngllsh, " which must lower the
thinking, and degrade the whole mental
caliber of the generation that la coining
ou.
Further, the high pressure of life, the
"record-breakings" of ocean travel, the
false standard of speed in everything, from
a horse to a typewriter, the rush of modern
living, are begetting in children a spirit of
heiulloug haste. This means heedlessness
the doing nothing really well, lack of ease
in manners, of composure of character, of
steadiness and moderation; from which
must gruw restlessness, instability, poor
work, discontent aud failure.
Is it not time to remember that children
are a heritage and gift that Cometh from
the Lord ; that they are given to us, by
lihn, as Moses was, by the king's daugh
tor. "Take this child and nurse It for
' ine ';" that the first thought of men am
women, to whom the precious gift and the
great responsibility of a child is given,
should lie .in the form and words
Mauuah's prayer, "How shall we order the
child and how shall we do unto him."
