A man may have an iron clad sympathy

A man whom had always called my

Every Evening. He perused the head
lines first, and when he saw a striking
head ,uld read the article But he was
mad, very mad. When l saluted he
turned away and kept his eye close upon
the sheet before him. Then he gave a
start as II he had found some
thing but lost It before he
could grasp It. An expression of agony
crossed his face and he muttered swear-
words. could not even conjecture the
cause OF his actions l could only SEE
that he was looking at the third page OF
the paper.
Then his aspect changed; he ran bis
fingers through his hair, raped himself
on the head and placing his finger at the
top Of the first column, followed Il
closely down the page, line by line. He
did this for two columns and halt, wher
he came TO the advertisements and stop
ped. He became madder. crumpled the
paper into little ball and threw 1t will
great force into the scrap basket.
