Helping others.

"Many years ago. said the old
clergyman, II was at acommencement
of one OF the many small colleges in
the interior OF the country, which train
the sons OF our tradesmen and farm
ers into men, and train them well.
Among the young men Who we're grad
uated was one who had taken the
highest honors, the valedictory, prizes,
and the presidency OF his class. But he
received only a feeble round ofapplause
when he rose.
What is wrong?' asked one OF the
Faculty.
"'C-- is selfish fellow. All for
himself He will succeed in life, but
his success Will benefit nobody but
C
presently another lad stepped for
ward to speak. His place was not a
high one, but from his fellow-students
and the townspeople came a thunder
of applause, which was no sooner
over than it began again and again,
while the grave professors looked on
smiling.
"'What does this mean2 Iasked.
"'Oh. that is VAN"

fun, eyerybody's chum? | ventured.
'No, not that. But Van is the only
man ever knew whose idea of col
lege is that it is a place for mutual
help He is not exceptionally bright,
but he has hard common sense, great
warmth ot heart, and untailing tact.
You would not credit me- If ! should
tell you OF the men he has helped dur
ing his course, the dull fellows whom
he has coached, the idle ones that he
has dragged to work, the dissipated
that he has kept out OF temptation.
Oh, Van, for some reason, is like no.

II kept watch on Van after he left

our fellows. No matter how friendly
the competition, it is competition. If
we 60 up, others must give place to US

VANS idea OF the world was that

place in which we should help each

How to Talk.

We are often told that TO be a good
conversationalist one must be good
listener. but to be a good listener is
not to sit silent. 1t Is to know enough
of the subject under consideration to
ask intelligent questions, and listenun-
derstandingly to the replies. Agentle-
man who had given his daughtergreat
educational advantages was disap-
pointed that she did not shine in con-
versation with his friends. sWhy
don't you TALK" he asked. sYou
chatter with the girls, but with people
of sense you are silent.
II don't know what to talk about.
Your friends are not interested in the
things that interest me. The girls are"
