Are clever people ugly? That is
the startling question which n writer

There is good reason for believing i,

respect of beauty. In plain language
education tends to make people ugly.

n this creates lines and burrows on
the forehead; the mouth assumes a
set firmly together: the poison caused
by envy and jealousy-an inevitable
accompaniment of education-has its
effect upon IL compilations. These
are only some OF the changes that
take place. and make it even now diff

As we do more and more OF our think

All those characteristics which 90

Not even in the throes of death did
the in%fatuation weaken. The viper that

his heart than any other living thing,
and his last words were:
Poor Joe. He doesn't know what

His weird fad gradually estranged

when even his wife fled from her home.

and tried to provoke it into fastening its
fangs in him. But it refused to take
the hint.
For three days he fingered in agony,
swollen and discolored beyond recogni-

but the moccasin's poison prevailed.
He was buried from the Methodist
