style of boy to take with the girls from
large cities. Not being book men, they
never choose any deeper subject of con-
versation than a game of tennis, q style
of Waiting, or the difference between the
Princeton and Yale stroke. A Vassar

Our Industrial Life.

Said I to my banker friend: Estate
to me your notion of the greatest evil
In our industrial life"
L think it Is the excessive profit ev-
erybody in trade expects to have. It
is above and outside of all legislative
assistance. We lfave had until re-
Gently laws limiting the rate of inter-
est, and declaring anything above
seven per cent. or six per cent. to be
usury, but 50 per cent. is the law of
the tradesman in dealing with his GUS
toner. You see it in beef. which costs
less than four cents a pound, and is
sold to the ultimate consumer at from
16 to 25.
"The cheapest thing in the whole
market is oil, and that is the subject
of the most interference, and, in real
ity, the declaimers against the oil in
terest are those who are not satisfied
to see it cheap. In order to make oil
cheap enough for the whole world to
use it, those who control it have put
down apparatus, such as pipes and
steam engines, getting rid even of the
railroad tax upon the product. They
leave out of their purchase system cer-
tain wells, the owners of which de-
mand to be bought up, and if an ex-
cessive price was paid for superfuous
wells, of course, the tax would have to
be put upon the production.
"Now, there is no article which
America produces which stands the
test of, prices in all countries like
American oil. 1t goes to Egypt, to
the Barbary States, to the Asiatic
States, to poor countries like Denmark
and Norway, where the American flag
is the familiar sign for burning oil.
Those people do not declaim against
price. And when you can buy the
highest refined oil for So barrel, it is
the cheapest burning fluid in the
world. A barrel will almost supply a
farmers family for one year. and it
costs So; whereas your gas bills in al
most any house in city will be So
month.
Edo not take up this topic" said the
gentleman, except as it crosses my
mind. If the American people knew,
however, how much they have to pay
intermediates, they would see how this
rich, abundant country continues to be
the most expensive in the world. -

sense OF honor. boating together. tramp

together from morning till night, 1 can't
help thinking that it is safer than the
convent system" and I must say that
with very few exceptions the young men
behave themselves quite ss we'll as the
young girls.
Flirting goes on without ceasing, bu.
it's quite harmless and in most cases has
q salutary effect on the girl, it enables
her to make a STUDY of man in the role OF
lover and to get acquainted with all the
tricks of the profession. Major Ben -,
an old fuss and feathers, thinks young
people are left too much alone, and there
fore, he often hanes around the pariors
on rainy days when dancing is the only
amusement. The Major, although some
what Falstafian, still thinks he is a good
waltzer, and often tries ito break up a
q rtation" by asking the young lady to
dance. But Of late I've seen him meet
with several point-blank refusals. very
courteous but very firm. As the Major is
such guardian of morals, was quite
surprised at this and made inquiries as
the why and wherefore, the girls didn't
care to dance with him.
He holds us too tight!" was the signif-
cant reply.-Lida Lee, in Chicago Led

exclaimed Jeb Sparks.
By the way, Madge. they say, is en-
gagged to Hilary W, Cambridge
man. When they start out together the
boys laugh and say:
There goes Madge and her walking
stick"
Hilary is the only college man here who
is not athletic His classmates call him
-Aspirate Hilary" that is. he's mere
breathing He weighs about ninety-ive
after hearty dinner: but he's rich and
has a delicate and refined face Strange
how We love our opposites! Madge wor-
ships that boy.
Hes all soul, she whispers as she
clasps her soft, fat hands and gazes at
him with rapt expression, my father
and grandf ,ther had no souls.
Why, how was that, Madge?"
They were nothing but corporations.
Hilary's friends wers very much sur
prised to hear of the engagement, for they
had always imagined that all his affec-
tion was bestowed upon Greek roots in
pi or Latin verbs in do. But Madge
brought him to terms, assisted by the
rock-bound coast of Maine. In . mo-
ment of weakness Hilary consented to
do as the other boys and join Irritation

abandon and ease of manner, Just as his
petty vice makes him expensive and
companionable Mothers like to see it,
for it is considered very healthful. The
boys like it because it sweetens the
breath. The hotel men like it because it
tires the jaws. the druggists like it be-
cause it increases their receipts. and, as
for me, think that this world has no
more touching spectacle than the sight Of
a Boston girl bending her willowy form
to the voluptuous swing of the waltz
music, as her jaw rises and falls in keep
ing with the rhythm upon q hunk of

to some sequestered nook and sat down
on the rocks. And Hilary sat down, too.
Ten, twenty, thirty minutes went by.
MadGe's tongue wagged like pendulum
wire without its weight. She told Hilary
her whole family history, including mar
riages, deaths, failures and defalcaions.
Hilary attempted dozen times to inter-
rupt her and get on his feet. But she
held him fast. Note. All young people
hold hands down here. Then she grew
sentimental, made love to him, and told
him how she admired delicately built,
soulful man. Another half hour of ago
ny. Madge saw that victory was near.
Gould he not love her as sister?"
Yes, yes, anything, only let me stand
up"
The next minute Hilary felt his ethe-
real figure "ievitate," and thick woollen
shawl, doubled and redoubled into de-
lightfnl cushion, came. between him and
that cruel, rocky coast of Maine.
They were the last ones to get back to
the hotel.

osN July and August you
may sleep under double blankets. Don't
stay away because you're afraid you may
not be able to get your morning cocktail
in this prohibition State. You'll miss
the public bar, but what's the matter
with the private one. It's the American
system of ethics: BE as naughty as you
please, only be So on the sly" The first
day or SO up here You might wonder why
such crowds of young people affect the
place. The explanation is very simple:
1t is SO cool that you may row, dance,
play tennis, climb mountains and make
love all through July and August. Per-
spiration is death to sentiment! When
girls nose gets shiny she feels that life
is not worth living. No danger of that
up here; the girls, even at high noon,
look fresh and clean, sweet and rosy, and
it gives them confidence and q plomb.
Now, take Saratoga. Saratoga is para
disc for old danes and ancient cavaliers.
The heat keeps their joints from getting
stiff, and the cathartic waters-well, they
improve their complexions. If you're
twenty, come up here; if thirty, go to
Coney Island; if forty. try Long Branch;
at fifty, go to Cape Nav; sixty, Saratoga;
seventy, Newport; and eighty, Ocean
Grove. Selah!

are also, and the boys who mostly mi

poplar at Playford, England. The two
topmost branches were not injured,
but the bark was completely stripped
from the trunk; and the southern half
of the body-which was two and one
half feet in diameter at the base and
ten inches at the top-was shattered
into fragments and scattered over an
area of two acres. One solid piece
weighing over five and one-half pounds
was carried 126 yards from the base,
while bits of less than half an ounce
were blown sixty yards against the

Unconscious Humor of the Press.


In the course of an eloquent address,
an orator alluded to Cato and Brutus.
The paper spoke of his feeling for cats
and brutes." A Western editor gave
out two articles for his paper. one on a
political subject. and the other on fat
tening swine. He neglected to correct
the proof. and the next morning, to his
chagrin and disgust, he found that the
printer had changed the heading so
that one began: "Great Hogs. Under
this head we include the clergy, the
editorial fraternity, and the member Of
Congress. At large public demon
stration, popular and prominent man
arose to speak, and was greeted with
enthusiastic cheering and shouts. In
speaking of it the newpaper said: "The
vast concourse rent the air with their
snouts." Goldsmith, who was known
as a fastidious writer, fell victim to
the errors of the press. In beautiful
poem, in speaking of the nightingale.
he wrote: And that low tone, more
sweet than all. The printer said: !:
and that low tone, more sweet than
ale" A New York editor, who wrote
an obituary on the death of man of
some celebrity, said: He began life as
a legal practitioner, but was diverted
from it by love of letters" He did
not see the proof, and was confronted
the next morning By this: "He began
life as legal politician, but he was
diverted from it by love of bitters."
A printer by no means famous for
piety, came to the words, mo cross, no
crown" and proceeded to make the
type read: "No COW, no cream"
