SHORT STORIES.

She Is a student in the psychology de-
partment of the state university. Last
week i'm reading a work on the Mature
OF Genius" she found an example given
where an idiot by an accidental blow ON
the head was transformed to a musical
wonder.
The girl was somewhat skeptical and
talked IL over with a boy who was also
a student in the psychology department
He reasoned with her in that half su-
perior way which always comes over a
boy when he Investigates for the first
time the comparative brain weights of
men and women. He told her that the
idiocy might have been caused by some
formation or reformation of the skull,
which was i'm all probability removed
by the blow on the head: or the brain
might have grown fast to the ''pia-
mater" or some part OF the cerebrum
might have been pushed upon by some
other part. He gave a string of half
dozen technical names to illustrate his
hypothesis The blow might have re-
moved this cause and genius could have
blossomed.
She argued back.
But he was a plum idiot. He didn't
know any thing at all"
THAT did not make any difference"
ne answered, "since genius did not in
the least depend on how much or how
little one knew"
She finally gave up the argument.
This week he was hurt in a football
game. He came to school with a long
strip of court plaster over his left eye
He looked the veritable hero that he
felt himself.
She met him in the hall and saw his
forehead. She sided up to him with
wide-open eyes and whispered in an
awe-struck voice:

little Jokes upon sergt Tins, Of the

Exclusion of Her Books From the

The Enoch Pratt Library Of Baltimore has
withdrawn the books OF Mrs. f. ID. Z. n.
Southw orth, of Georgetown, the aged
novelist, from circulation, on the allega-
lion that If net immoral, they are at least
harmful. Mrs. Southworth's friends in this
city are much amazed at such an action,
taken after all these years, and Libraria n
Steiner who has Just made his debut in
the role OF a Parkhurst, is coming in for
a good share OF condemnation among liter
ary people.
Mrs.. Southworth has for several years
been a great favorite with the readers of
sentiment alliterature. She is not, however.
vexed at the acton OF the Baltimorelibrary.
since she s daily in receipt OF many kind
letters from friends who have read her
books and who have written personally
to express their qualification and enjoy
meut.
Dr. p j. Southworth, son of the aged
novelist, said this morning that the action
OF the Baltimore II brari an could not in any
way affect his mother except to fncreass
the royalties paid her by her publishers.
At present many people who have access
to libraries prefer 10 read borrowed book
20 buying one outright Now, no doubt
they VIII buy new copies, since Mrs. South
worth has been a favorite among so many
persons of all classes -
With regard to the ediuin thus apparently
east upon her novels, certainly people who
read them and have enjoyed them for the
past thirty years and more, were better
able to Judge of their merits than the Ii
