But Nevertheless He Wouldn't Go Down
Town without q Necktie.
''Georgiana," said Mr.. Dalrymple,
sit seems to me that you spend alto
sether too much time worrying about
what other folks are likely to think
about you. Why don't you follow my
example and have little independ-
ence? As long as know that I am do
ing my duty as a man what do care
how others like my style?"
Il don't know" Mrs. Dalrymple re-
piled, "whar you mean. In what way
havs been worrying about what other
folks think Of me?''
"Oh, in hundred ways" her hus.
band answered. You wouldn't wear
the waist you have On if it were not for
the fact that all the other women wear
them and would think you couldn't
afford it if you didn't have one. You
wouldn't care whether you had lace
curtains at the windows if other folks
didn't have them. You wouldn't spend
money for hundred and one other
things that you could get along with
out just as well rs not if you were not
always trying to pose before other peo-
ple."
WELL" Mrs. Dalrymple assented,
for she was not disposed to quarrel over
the matter, lit is perhaps as you say.
l am sorry that it is SO, but can't help
it. Aren't you afraid you'll be late at
the office this morning? And you
haven't put on your necktie this morn
ing. How did you come to forget it?'
"By George!' he exclaimed, looking
at his watch, cts nearly s O'Clock
now. / don't know how I happened to
forget my necktie. Where is it? I must
hurry
ooh, never mind the tie this morn
lng," his wife said. You've got q
clean shirt and collar On. Go without
the tie.''
What" shouted William Dalrym-
pie. go down town without a necktie!
You must think I'm crazy. Why, the
boys in the office would guy the life out
OF me, and people would think didn t
have money enough to buy one. Here
it is. Goodby"

Advantage Of Rock leland High Soho. 1.
There has probably never been II
time when So many graduates of col
leges and universities are doing post
graduate work as at present. The
great universities are crowded with
such students. Those who cannot at
tend full years by reason of being en-
gagged in teaching, attend the sum-
uer quarters or do the work at home
and 90 to the universities for their ex-
aminations.
But this work is not confined to
the higher institutions of learning
There is scarcely q large city sup
porting good high school whose
mem bership does not include quite
number who have diplomas of
graduation. The fact that the high
er institutions of learning are low
giving full credit for work done in
these high schools, and the further
fact that the work can be done at
h"me at SO much less expense is
turning the attention of our young
people 20 the desirability OF getting
all possible from the home hip b
-chooi before entering the more ex.
pensive college or university.
This is a matter that shou d attract
the attention Of the graduates of the
Rock Island High school. The large
list OF selections which the new
course OF study offers will make i.
possible for those now holding di-
pIomas to pus in year or more to
most excellent advantage. Those
desiring to enter the university in
adv nced classes, those who are not
fully prepared to enter. and those
Who desire simply a broader aud
more thorough education. will do
well to look over the new cour-e of
study and note the advantages which
it offers TO those willing to take
Postgraduate work.
Education has never been as popu-
lar IS it is at rhe present time
There is not profession. not an oc-
cupasion requiring skilled labor that
does not demand men aud women OF
education and culture. Even those
engaged in the toilsome occupations
have come to recognizs the fact that
education makes their labor more
pleasant and at the same time more
profitable The time is near at hand
when every person seeking a posi-
ton Of responsibility will be COM
PEELED to show that they are pos
sessed of liberal education as well
as integrity and industry.
