WAS AFTER WISDOM.
This Young Man Made Love for
Purely Scientific Purposes.
Tried to Prove Psychological Theo-
ries of Affection by Personal Ex-
Rerience-His Little scheme
NipDsA by the Faculty.

The Chicago Chronicle reports that
. well-conceived attempt to prove GER
tain psychological theories of love by a
graduate at the University of Chicago
might have added much to the present
knowledge of scientists had not the ex-
pertinent been suddenly checked. A
xealous young student of sociology
went among the university bellies court
ing one and then another to note the
manner of responses love prompted
each to make. he was meeting with
success beyond expectation when dis
covery by one of the girls brought the
plan to an abrupt end. 1t is a story OF
Cupid disappointment and maidens
Tilted.
The unique idea of original research
was suggested to the young man, whose
name is Charles Bush, during lecture
on the phenomena of love. 1t was a
custom much in vogue in the psyche
logical department of the university
for students to experiment upon one
another and SO in this respect he was
only following precedent, but>in oil
the other instances the subjects knew
precisely when the experiments began.
1t would not have done for the girls to
know that Bush's devotion was alto
gether in the interest Of science, for
the results would not have been the
same. For this reason Bush kept his
purpose concealed as far as possible
and discovery was only accidental
AS Bush is popular in the social set
at the university, attentions to any of
the girls were noticeable when contin-
ued. Some of the gossips observed that
he was devoted to one of the hall girls
and then dropped her for another, to
whom he was not less attentive. =
repetition of the occurrence caused a
good deal of talk among those whe
thought it strange, and one time when
number of the girls were chatting to-
gether the secret of Bush's love-malling
came out.

i am assured from observation ex-

impression, no matter how carefully
the ga ounces of alcohol may be
taken. Once an habitue and under
the control of the alcoholic mania, the
strongest man or woman becomes i'm

its power.

n movement is now on foot among the
liquor organs of the country to discard
the term saloon as applied to the liquor

paragraph from an editorial in the

Columbus, Ohio. The editor of that
paper says:

Daughters of Inenrintes-

The second installment of Marie
Bashkirtseff's memoirs falls rather
fiat, though in no way inferior to the
first. Her peculiarities as writer can
be thus explained: She came of a race
of inebriates, for Russians drink deep
and strong. Her nervous system was
out of gear. She was never young from
infancy to the day of her death. This
is popularity of the inebriate's child.
Nor had she any receptivity. The sense
of self was so overweening as to block
out all views of the outer world. Her
dresses, notions, dances, fine acquaint-
ances, prospects of cutting a dash, of
winning fame, absorbed her whole
mind. Charlotte Bronte was also the
daughter of an inebriate (albeit a

by hard circumstances and she had
the Celt's clear perception of the outer
world. Still, she was unhealthy sub
jeetive and had fancies. = London

Some time ago in India an officer who
was parched with thirst was travelling
with his Indian servant where water
was scarce. 1t was evening time, and
in that country the moon throws pc
culiar light upon many things. The of
ficer saw al the side of the road pool
of water that looked very clear. He
was STOPPING down to drink when his
servant called to him; ''Nay, nay, sa-
nib, lend me your sword" Going to the
pool the servant put the edge OF the
sword into it, when up came the head
of a cobra, the most dangerous serpent
in India. The servant then brought
the weapon down upon the reptile, and
cut off his head. Had the officer drank
Of the pool, he would have been a dead

This counsel seemed to impress the
assembly favorably.
Then third speaker began in this
wise:
''Since the bite OF this reptile is so
very dangerous, would submit that
it might be we'll to make certain rules
and regulations; as, for instance, that
he is not to SO abroad on the day called
Sunday; that he must not be allowed to
sting anybody who is not of age; more
over, that he shall not be let out of his
cage at all until a council of citizens
shall decide.
"And, finally" said the wise and
thoughtful man, II suggest that an
oath be administered to our neighbor.

faithfully carry out these provisions"
Now it came to pass that all the
neighbors were so moved with these
words that with one voice they cried
out: 80 let it be-" And so the snake

Why tell you that 100000 Of our pop
ulation go to bed drunk every night in
the year ana that the money spent for
drink every day would provide all the
widows with sealskin sacks and French
heelcd shoes? We all know those
things. Let us begin with Christopher
Columbus. who had rather more to do
with America than any man who has
come after him. give you his picture
on the canvas. You look puzzled and
surprised. You can't make it out. You
behold Christopher lying drunk on the
highway, with jug on one side and n
hog on the other. 1t is a fanciful pie
ture. | want you to look at it closely
and keep it in your minds. and every
day for years to come | want you to
ask yourself what would have happen
ed if Columbus had been that sort Of
man. When Ferdinand and Isabella had
fitted him out for his voyage, suppose
he had gone and got a three days jag
on and had rolled around in the mud
and had had three or four scraps with
other old buns. Can you for an instant
believe that he would have been left in
command of the expedition or that this
country would have been discovered
for the next 80 years? But there was
no boozing. He may have taken a
farewell drink Of root beer or lemon
ade, rs was emncnuy proper, but it
ended right there, and he became world
famous as a result. y whole hem
isphere and millions of people owe him
a debt of gratitude and viii remember
his name forever because Of his alb
stincncc. The lesson taught by the pic
turc is plain to all Get drunk, and you

about to cross the Delaware and gain Il

observe that George is lying drunk
with his feet on a chair while the pa
triot army waits for him to take the
lead. You murmur and are aghast.
You never heard that the Father OF
His Country got n jag on. No more

but he's too drunk to get there. and the
independence Of the colonies is lost
forever This picture is also crea-
ton Of fancy, but let the moral lesson
sink deep into your hearts. Now and
then, when he had been out choppng
wood in the rain, John Hancock may
have taken n nip to keep the chills off,
but never on any other occasion. He
didn't need whisky to back up his
patriotism. He had cold water
hatred of tyranny, and when the time
came to upset King Georges apple cart
he picked up a goose quill and wrote
his name in letters which stand out
like red paint on n white door. Half n
pint of colonial corn juice down behind
his vest would have untitled the great
patriot and left America Il dependency.
