COLLEGE AUDIENCE HARD TO FACE

Youths Have Theories OF Their Own in

presbyterian elders may sit severely
in Judgment on the theology of young
preachers, but for ruthless criticism
of preaching it is hard to equal col
lege audience. Manuscripts in the pull
pit are considered undesirable by
them, and any sermon the length of
which is more than, twenty minutes
must be more than passing good to
gain approval. Most objectionable of
all is an attempt to play to" the audi
ence by a reference to athletics. This
is felt to be an obvious departure
from the preachers province, and is
not to be tolerated. The oys keep

Why is 1t that some women are adj
mired and sought after by the other
sex and others who are apparently
attractive are comparatively ig-
nored is one Of the puzzles Of social
life Of which many an anxious mother
would like to have the key. Miss Z,
for instance, who is beautiful and ac-
complished, Is not nearly as popular
as Miss RI who is barely good look
ing, and to the feminine eye not near
~ a. attractive in manner or conver-
satiOn. and yet the latter possesses
magnetism and the other does not. Ap-
parently to be a mans woman the
guilelessness Of the dove must be uni
ted to the wisdom Of the serpent. The
candidate for masculine preferment
must be clever without any OF the SUI
r~eriority Of intellect. She must tickle
his vanity without betraying the adu-
lation of flattery, and. while showing
. strong prediction for his society,
must In no way appear to seek It.
Above all, she must be thoroughly
sympathetic, and possess what Goethe
describes as the "ewig weibliche,"
which. without doubt. is the most i'm
portant attribute.

Unusual E%xpedient Against Rats.

A large London meat house which
had suffered severe loss through the
d~evastations committed by rats hit
upon a novel scheme to abate the nui-
sance. A regular system of kindness
was practiced upon the rodents. Food
to their taste was left for them at
regular intervals. 1t was given them
to understand that the management
considered it q great pleasure to have
them about the premises. All cats

Wnen Hepburn first saw the young
woman he was rather taken with her.
A little later he decided that she was
altogether to self-reliant and self-pos-
sessed for his taste. There was a
man in the party who had really
achieved something in the world OF
art and was being lionized, a process
to which he seemed to take to rather
too kindly; a man who aroused ar in
tolerable itching in the toes of every
other masculine person present. Hep
burn noticed that Miss Pollard was
one OF the very few of the ONE who
did not assume the attitude Of ador-
alton in the presence of the Genius.
Perhaps the Genius noticed it, too,
for he left his little circle of lovely
worshipers and seating himself by
Miss Pollard's side honored her with
some of his exclusive and original
views of things, general and particu-
lar.
Hepburn happened to be close by

"Why?" asked Teddy.
"Oh, well, l take it all back" said
Hepburn. Il didn't mean to discuss
the young lady. She is mighty clever
and charming and handsome and
what do you say to a little gamer"
II Hepburn had continued with what
was in his mind he would have said:
she is too %self-poised, too independ-
ent, mentally and physically. A man
could never assume an attitude OF
protection toward her. She rows and
shoots better than four-ifths of the
men here. and l couldn't have played
the fish myself better than she did

Miss Pollard: then he concluded that |
his avoidance might perhaps seem

NEW KIND OF FAIR FAKiRS
Egg Throwing Contest Met With
Crowds Approbation.

Crowds Appreciation.
Punxsutawney, Pa, has had a
county fair recently. That in itself
is not an unusual event in this little
unpronounceable burg, since it has
the fair habit. but one Of it's methods
OF entertaining the crowds was origi-
nal, to say the least.
1t outcorey Coney Island, and made
a big hit-in fact, several of them;
for it consisted of an egg throwing
contest, which was conducted on
strictly primitive lines, and the requi-
site impediments were of Jeffersonian
simplicity.
The apparatus consisted of a pile Of
straw III one side OF the street; be-
hind this vas a framework Of poles,
upon which was stretched a canvas
with a circular hole in it. Through
this aperture the "easy mark" an
Italian, whose facial geography was
apparently indestructible, thrust his
head as a target for the unsavory mis-
siles-hen fruit in all stages Of devel-
opment toward chickenhood.
The p%rincely sum Of five cents for
three throws was charged. BY the
time the money thrower had swallow
ed about two dimes, the canvas, with
its physiognomical decoration, grew
in resemblance from a sunset in the
Alps to a dozen Mont Pelees and a
deluge thrown in.
The street was sticky with eggs,
the Italian gentleman was drowned
in obsolete albumen and the crowds
thickened. So did the fun; ditto the
eggs. So great a drawing card did
the egg throwing booth become at
last the police were required to clean
out the crowd. And afterward the
city fathers were needed in a body to
clean out the streets.
But the importation from sunny
Italy had in the meantime cleaned up
several hundred dollars, which I'M
doubtedly was of great assistance in
cleaning up his face.

She was doomed (for her sins, she
told herself) to see much Of him in
the next few days, and he experienced
what he called the attraction of re-
pulsion. He could talk well when he
pleased and he exerted himself to
talk his best when they were thrown
together. but from any verbal en-.
counter he Invariably came away with
a feeling that he had been worsted
ard he often chafed at the hooking
tones OF her voice and the half con.

grey eyes. He was particularly con-
scious Of that look one day at the
beach. He was teaching Maud Pat
terson to swim and there was a good
deal of the vine about Maud. Mar

burn resented that. He rather re-
sented the way Teddy Alderman was
following her about, too, and the
fact that she seemed rather to like
that idiots attentions did not increase
his-well. his respect for her.
There came an evening at last, how.
ever, when his old feeling of warmth
and affection for Alderman revived.
he had watched him strolling in the
rav1ne path that ran below the house:
Just q glimpse here and there between
the trees and he had noticed that the
woman with him and to whom he
was talking earnestly was-Margaret.
1t was not at that moment, when a
strange pain shot through his breast
and the blood swelled and throbbed at
his temples. that the old feeling re-
turned. 1t a vixen Teddy came
