refer to the matter now, for the poor

great bar Of judgment in nothing but a
goatee and strawberry mark, but it
might be of use to boys and young peo-
pie who may read this to know that
when I dined with that wealthy man
he forgot himself after the carving was
done and ate with the carving knife and
fork, especially with the knife. OF
course he is now ON the other shore,
where 1 hope that the carving is already
done. but who would have thought it
possible that man with the wealth Of
an emperor would havef fed himself and
injured his tonsils for years with the
carving knife?

While I am speaking a word to the
boys, I might tell them of a little in
cident that occurred at Harvard last
Halloween. The Harvard boys are not
such bad boys as some, but are full Of
animal spirits and cne thing or another,
all seeking expression in harmless
way.
AS Halloween approached, these boys
tried to think of some way by which
they could surprise and delight the po-
lice. Boys love to interest the police
everywhere, 1 think, and it is very sad
to know that in many instances the po-
lice are not only cold toward the boys,
but in some cases even repulsive.
The boys finally went to a barber
about 10 o'clock, as he was closing up
the shop, and asked him what he would
take for his barber pole sign. He
thought minute and then said $25.
''All right" said the boys, write
out a receipt" :"
Then with the pole and the receipt
they started out over town. OF course
they were arrested. ''I'll tache you
young divils to go putin barber poles
in the cimitery over the graves of the
pilgrim fathers and sidebare booggies
on top the matin house! Come on wild

they went with him, carrying the pole
and singing joyfuIly little song called
"Daisy Bell They produced their
receipt at the station, gave the Irish
man the great, big, coarse laugh and
started out once more to land another
policeman. All night they harvested
the police and in the morning sold the
pole back for SEQ. When the police
read this, they will know that the Unit
ed States and Great Britain have been
let into the secret on the promise not
to let it go any further.
am pleased to notice that her most
gracious majesty Queen Victoria, en-
press Of India by the grace of God and
political influence, is discussing the
question of Whether propinquity or
cool, sober judgment brings about the
most marriages in the world"
Though rather late in the day, I have
been asked by correspondent recently
to place myself on record on this ques-
ton, and l rise to remark that it is
rather hefty question, especially to
a man who is not quite sure what pro-
means.
However, if propinquity be sort of
juxtaposition, I would say that it no
doubt has good deal to do with many
