WON FAVOR BY HIS GRIT,
Good Story Told of United States
Naval officer.

A tribute was paid recently to the
late Capt w. w. Reisinger, U. S. ~,
at the Grand hotel. Capt Reisinger
was the kind of man you can obey
as an officer, respect as a man and
cherish as a friend said F. c. Ches-
wick of Washington. The delayed
news of his death at Panama, which
came to us week or so ago, was a
great shock to his many friends in
Washington Annapolis, Pensacola and
elsewhere. | remember an anecdote
OF the man which brings out the stuff
there was in him. He was a little
man-hardly over the limit to get into
Annapolis, | should say-but he al
ways insisted on being obeyed
TO the dot, and he always or
dered everything to be kept right
up to the mark. About ten years
ago, more or less. he was executive
ofhcer of the receiving ship Dale, at
the Washington Navy Yard, and used
TO keep the new men pretty hard at
work shining up brass and the like.
Some of them, especially the big fel.
lows, didn't overmuch relish the novel
sensation of being bossed around by
such little chap as they put it. and
used to pass around remarks about
now easy they could do him up some
time off duty. He overheard some of
those remarks and one day when he
was off duty he appeared among the
men, took off his coat and asked for
volunteers in the task of doing him
up. He was a football man at An
napolis, and fully able to take care
OF himself anyway. But the men re-
spected his grit without trial. and
obeyed him gladly after that."-New
York Tribune.

Food and Brains.

The advantage of fasting for intel.
lectual work is being exemplified by q
professor of the West Virginia univer.
sity, who will refrain from eating food
for 80 days, during which time he will
daily deliver his customary lectures to
the class of the summer quarter. 1t Is
the professors idea that the less food
there Is in the stomach the more blood
can be drawn to the brain, and that its
action should be superior in every way
to that of man who is clogged with
food. 1t will be interesting to watch
the professors lectures daily becom-
ing more brilliant while his weight de-
creases. One can imagine that the
farther he gets to infinite wisdom, I'M
til, when he arrives at the 30th day of
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply dazzled by the intellectual out
burst. If this is demonstrated, all we
need to do to produce "Thanatopsis"
or "Gray's Elegy" is to take COM
monplaCe poet and place him in cell
for thirty days on a diet of filtered
water.

Young Mans Answer to Student OF
Sociology.


Smith is 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 congregated 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

children for time, seemed interested,
and asked few questions about them.

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 am doing here?"
said Smith.
Smith said that the smile which
preluded his reply was crushing. "Oh,

He knew very few women and they

Madame was always ready to well

The other men had treated her most
kindly-the youngest having paid her
considerable attention, but Norman

dozen words with her.
The fact was he did not know what
to say to woman.
He seldom felt at ease in a woman's
presence, but instead Of disliking her

grown much interested In the merry.
