Walking Cane "Where is my cane? Wherever I stand it, when I look for it, it‘s gone." "Well, it‘s a walking cane, isn‘t it?" M. Painlevé has circularized all the schools forbidding, under the penalty of dismissal, the continuapce of such practices. In addition General Collin, Commandant of Saintâ€"Cyr, sent sevehâ€" teen students involved in the hazing to serve as common privates in vark ous regiments. It has been the custom as long as anybody can remember for the seniâ€" ors toâ€"invade the dormitory of the newest arrivals in the dead of night asd make them rise and pass in mock review. One eof the new men in getâ€" ting out of bed failed to see a trap door which had been left open so that the seniors could make a hasty getâ€" away in case an officer appeared. The victim fell through the open door and fractured his skull. His condition is serious.

The last named set is used with a loop or variâ€" ous types of exploring coils for speâ€" cial investigations in power houses and places inaccessible to a car. The tubes used in all theso sets are the tiny "peanut" tubes manufactured only in Canada. They stand but two inches high and notwithstanding that are most excellent tubes.

That was a long step toward Bufâ€" falo Bill‘s home, in Denver. From San Francisco he walked and begged rides in engine cabs, determined to reach Denver. When on arrival there he found, to his great chagrin, that lhls idol was with a circus touring his own Germany, he wandered on to |New York to do the next best thing â€"become a selfâ€"made man. To fulfll l*‘t ambition, he decided to become a Lieutenant in the Gerâ€" many navy, and arrive at the goal through his own efforts. In 1900, he says, ho went back to Germany and enlisted as a sailor, resuming his own name. _ At length, in 1905, he reâ€" ceive his commission to a Lieutenâ€" ancy. .Not until then did he return to his home; he walked into his old home in full uniform. In Australia he went to work in the kitchen of a hotel. His immediate ambition, he says, was to get to America, since it was the land of selfâ€" made men. Also he wanted to see his hero, Buffalo Bill. _ After wanderâ€" ing through Australia, from place to place, he arrived at Brisbane, where Getting a start even as cabin boy ,was not easy.

He agreed to those condiâ€" tions and sailed with the Russian to Australia. l The man who conceived and carâ€" cied out this bold marauding had been prepared by his earlier experience, As a youngster of 13, he relates, he was backward in school and had run off to sea. .
