TIE SENTIMENTAL INTRUDER,

A most lat,guIng kInI OF intruder Is
the sentimental or subjective variety.
Although our age is not specially
productive OF the lauguishlng and 70.
mantle type OF young man, one may oC-
ca5iOnally encounter Il specimen of this
class VINO is ready unlnyited to pour
mis- uperaDuuddnt emotion into any ear
which happens TO present lLsen. lie
seems to be rowing from place to place
III search OF some kindred and sympa-
thetic nature. He is u sort OF modern
minstrel, who wanders lar and WIDE
singing every where the same doIeIul
lay. He beglAs, perhaps, by quoting
| rom Heine or Alfred de Musset, ana
talks in measured cddenCes OF the
Weltschme which consumes the best
| hearts of the age.
lie enlarges ON the mystery of the po-
eVs nature, with its irrepresslble emo
tions and unutterable thoughts. Then,
perhaps, he grows more personal, and
cOntues to his chance listener some
Of the secrets OF his own troubled exist
ene9. The worst feature in this oppress-
i've form OF obtrusIveness is that IL
seems to appeal to our pity. We can
not bring ourselves 10 check these lach-
rymose approaches too harshly, and can
only pray lor the hour which Is to lIber-
dIG US IEOIu bO NIulCulb anu palHluL COLA-
panlonship. A third kind Of an intruder
awakens il more decided feeling OF an
tlpathy. This is the man who may be
said 10 depend on his tortuitous compan-
ions Tor his ideas and interests.
He is a sort OF parasitic growth which
draws it's sustenance from other and
higher organisms. When alone he leads
a yacuous life, feels no promptings Of
| activity from within, and easily falls y
prey TO ennui He clutches eagerly at
the skirts, so 10 speak, OF each new
passer-by in the hope OF being lifted for
u while out OF his emptiness. Such an
Intruder has nothing TO offer us; he can
| not even amuse us by his naiYete or his
sentlmentality. lie Is simply and insult
ferably dreary. He expeeLs US TO sup
ply al topics of conversation, and TO
propose all agreeable activities. The
on y thing he can do is to profit by our
brains. He is u sheer dead weight from
which we try to be deliyered.-[ rhe Sat-

MR.. WILLIAM BELL, whom it is an
nounced Gov. Bishop will appoint to the
best position within the gilt Of the Elk.
ecutive, Commissioner of Ra lroads, has
been most successful politician. Ii
has been his fortune TO be kept in Office
nearly all the time since attaining his
majority. His first important position
was that of Clerk of Licking County
Then he served two terms as County
Auditor, afterwards two terms as Sher.
if, and was elected to the Legislature
for the third time. Having finished up
Licking County in this yaeat way, he
was nominated and elect6d to the posi-
tion OF Secretary of State. He removed
to Columbus, and after serving one
term was defeated when a candidate for
reelection, and proceeded at once to the
WORK Of setting up the pins to become
Sheriff Of Franklin County. His amoi-
tion in this direction will be restrained
for the present, if he is fortunate enough
to receive from Governor Bishop the ap.
pointment of Commissioner of Rail
