Young Mans Answer to Student Of
Sociology.
Smith is a man Of education, whose
particular study Is sociology. Much Of
his time is spent among children Of
the poorer classes. and in the vacation
period, when these are c~ongregated in
the Fairgrounds Of the city, he works
among them directing their play.
Visitors to the grounds are frequent,
but few ask questions. Recently, how
ever-so Smith informed the writer
a young fellow appeared, watched the
children for aetAme, seemed interested,
and asked a few questions about them.
AS the young man was neatly
dressed, clean shaver, quiet in man
ner, and not unintelligent looking.
Smith was prepared to find him a stu
dent of problems, like himself.
Are you Interested particularly in
this kind Of work? Perhaps you are
doing elsewhere as l am doing here?"
said Smith.

preluded his reply was crushing. ooh,

Elevator for olndsr Plts.

~ 2HNHA
Anyone who has ever watched the
men shoveling hot ashes out Of the
cinder pits where the fire boxes Of en-
gines are dumped after each
trip Of the road can readily
understand the Importance Of the In
vention by William Robertson Of Chi
cagO, illustrated below. The ashes
must first be cooled by thoroughly
wetting with water, which makes them
heavy to handle, and on a hot day in
summer the heat in the pit is sufficient
to cause actual suffering among the
men who are called upon to perform
this d~isagreeable task.
The object Of this invention is to
provide an apparatus which can be
easily installed and adapted to con
vey the cinders from the pit and dis
charge them into large III for trans
portation to the ordinary deposit. The
elevator consists of a cable a run
ming on IN inclined track, with a hy-
draulic or compressed air cylinder for
hauling in the cable and pulling the
a up the incline. When the car
reaches a point directly above the re
ceiving ear an automatic trip opens
the floor and discharges the contents.
The elevator is controlled by a valve,
which is turned in one direction to
admit compressed air or water back
of the piston, driving it downward and
pulling on the cable until the car is
lifted to the proper height. When the
dumping process is completed the
valve IL reversed to allow the fluid

When the pyramid was built, about

and thus brought another star-Pola-

very dignihed. He said he sat down
in order to rest the bottoms of his

of prize fighting, because he said his
wife was a Christian.

No one could be more just than he,
but those about him often wished he
was nor like other men.
he was not conscious Of the fact
that he threw a damper on every one
In the office.
He had never known what a home
was in the true sense Of the word.
His father had deserted his mother
when he was a few weeks old, and
the poor little woman had fingered un-
til the lad was six years old.
He had loved her p~assionately, but
after she left him he had learned to
live within himself.
He had found the world a cold, hard
one to the homeless. but with a fine
physical inheritance and dauntless
courage he had worked his way up
from a carrier-boy to the proprietor of
one Of the largest newspapers in a
large metropolis.
He vas never a social creature and
refused all invitations.
He knew very few women and they
rarely saw his best side.
He lived in a very quiet boarding
house where Madame Brunig, a kindly
German woman, kept a half dozen men
who could afford to pay her well.
Elizabeth Wells, a wholesome, at
tractive girl of twenty-five, had spent
the summer vacation with Madame
as she was teaching in a n%eighboring
city, and her mother was travelling
with a'party in California.
Madame was always ready to well
come the girl, as she had no children Of
her own.
The other men had treated her most
kindly-the youngest having paid her
considerable attention, but Norman
Baker had never exchanged a half
dozen words with her.
The fact was he did not know what
to say to a
He seldom felt at ease in a woman's
presence, but instead of disliking her
as the other boarders said, he had
grown much interested in the merry,
sunshiny girl, and when Thanksgiving
came and with it Miss Wells, none
greeted her with a heartier handshako
than the reserved Mr.. Baker.
He did not as usual retire to his
sanctum Immediately after meals dur
ing the young woman's visit, but
mingled with the other boarders and
for him was quite genial.
Saturday morning he asked Miss
Wells to drive with him that after
noon, but she had promised Jack Brad

was his last opportunity as the young
girl was to leave early Monday morn

Gould she be happy and satisfied
with him?" she had asked herself
over and over again, but could reach
no decision.
She enjoyed his companionship
more than even she herself knew. His
friendship meant much to her, but
might she not tire of him in time when
it was too late?
The six months would soon be up,
but she was no nearer a decision.
1t was late in May one rainy Satur-
day when Norman Baker reached
R. His train was late and as
he had an engagement for luncheon
with Elizabeth Wells he took a cab.
A few blocks this side of Miss Wells
home the cab came to a sudden stop
and upon calling to the driver he
learned that a small newsboy had
been knocked down and his papers
scattered Over the crossing. Jumping
out Of the cab he picked up the lad
and learned that he was not seriously
injured, although bruised and shaken
up.
The child seemed much more con-
cerned over the loss of his papers and
his torn trousers than about his own
injuries until he was told that Mr..
Baker would replace the papers be-

How forcibly this incident brought
back his own cherries childhood to
the man.
Perhaps he could put a little sun
shine into the newsboy's life!
Requesting the lad to jump into the
cab he drove to Miss Wells.
What was his astonishment to have
her exclaim as she opened the door:
Harry, lad, where have you been?
How did you get hurt?"
Mr.. Baker explained the situation
and learned that mis- young friend was
one of Miss Wells favorite pupils.
Run up to the bath room Harry,
and make youself rs ~presentable as
possible and you shall have luncheon
with us" she said at the conclusion Of
the explanation.
Miss Wells invited herself to go
with Mr.. Baker and Harry to select
the new suit which thanks to the
young lady's assistance, proved very
becoming and satisfactory.
Then the happy lad departed to his
home, and the two friends visited an
art gallery.
They were seated before a CHEEKY
crate fire that evening both in a
thoughtful mood, but with a peaceful
ness and contentment in the atmos-
phere that gave quiet happiness TO the
long silences.
