It is always refreshingtofind a lifctle jenuiue hutnao oharity uader tbe snn. Lhose who sit in the pews on Sunday and those who are loudest in their denunoiation of the world are not always mindful of the first precept of the Great Teacher. This week, a wordly, sinful student, ;ravelling over the Michigan Southern struck np au acquaiutanoe with a young Snglishinan by the name of Holland. Holland explained that he had been nicknamed "Bill Nye, Jr.," and that ie had been a sailor runaway from Sugland at 16 and for five or six years lad travelled around the etrth, going ;o Australia, Japan, etc. He had left Los Angeles, Cal., where he had been a reporter, in November, and had been on the tramp ever sinoe. When the university student paited company with the weary traveller, it was to invite him to come to his fraternity house should the pilgrim's journeyinga briug him here. Tuesday "Bill Nye , Jr.," turned up. He was taken into the fraternty.given a chance to olean up.given clean linen and entertained as a guesl until the next morning when he resumed his journey with Detroit as his prospectivo point. He said he had many adventures butneverbeforehad he been enteitainea in a fraternity house anc treated so white as by his Ann Arbor host. Holland's adventures have been many, including a lunatic asylum esoapade in Los Angeles for a newspaper "write-up. " He oarries extraots from Chioago and western newspapers in which his story is told in full, and for a first class "knight of the road", "Nye" takes precedence over allothers of bis calling. His resemblance to the late Bill Nye is quite marked and he is traveling not so muoh on his own shape as on that of the original Bill's.
