Of circumstances has crowded him into a
nut. This is the individual whose~fnind

his education was completed when he
left his high school or academy or college.
Very likely some misguided professor as
sured him at the time that his education
would prove invaluable to him. He looks
back and fails 10 see where II has advanced

the facts he learned save a few vague
general izat tons He would be at a loss to
extract the square root of any number Of
four figures; he could not construe a Latin
sentence or conjugate Latin verb to save
his life; physics, chemistry, mathematics
all are sealed books to him. That he de-
cides 10 put these things behind him, con-
cludes that his time for education is past
and puts aside with sullen resignation all
future opportunities for learning is not at
all surprising.
1t would be a noble service for the bacca-
laureate orators to get hold of this indi-
Nlcual, whose age may be anywhere be-

Blundering Courtesy.
From the Candid Friend,

Excessive kindness Of heart, when al
lied to laundering courtesy, is occasional
ly productive Of an amusing incident. or
such is the following: A president in recent
times of one Of our royal colleges was
noted for the possession Of a trim little
yacht, which he was fond Of sailing in one
of the reaches Of the River Thames one
day the president had the misfortune to
capsize his craft with the consequent re-
suit of complete immersion. He was i'm
mediately assisted ashore and change of
clothing provided at an adjacent boa thouse.
This, however, did not include a hat of anv
description. The president, who is an old
man and correspondingly bald, stood shiy
ering, his scant hair uncomfortably stirred
by the breeze. His plight was observed
with respectful compassion by one of the
students of the college who had witnessed
the catastrophe, and offered his own head
gear. The president, however, seemed re-
luctant to accept it, saying: IF 1 take
yours, what will you dor "Oh, sir" said
the student, lit doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and he laughed heartily a +
what, after all, was not wholly a one-sided
joke, for the CONSERVATION of the student
may be better imagined than described.

THE SENATORS PINIONED.
An instant later, the angry ssns-

were dragged further apart. all
though they still made in.ffsctual

ly they were forced into their

Mr.. AcLaurin, although worry
pale, seemed to be the calner of the

drew his handkerchief from his
pocket and wiped blood from his
face that seemingly was flowing

time it had not bssa supposed that
blood had been drawn in the en-
counter.
During the fght senators all

that even his influence was not
sufficient to induce the senate to
ratify the treaty. After he had

him to do, Mr.. Tillnan asserted,
he Republicans yet lacked vote.

This ended the incident fer the
time, but the feeling snssndersd
manifested itself later in q thrilling

Soon afterwards Mr.. Tillnsn
concluded his remarks.
hCLAURIN RISES TO SPEAK.
Scarcely had he resumed his

of .hs most sensational scenes ever

Pale to the lips, and trsmb bling

addressed the senate, speaking to
a question of personal privilege.
Instantly . hush fell over the SEN
