some Contribution to the World of Thought that would jar the whole Educational System and help him to climb to the topmost Pinnacle of Human Greatness.
 Professor Otis did the Dig Act year after year. At the age of 49 he was still M. A. and owned a House with a Mortgage on it. In the Meantime there had been rev lutionary Changes in the World of Finance. Everything on Earth had been put into Pool. Each Smooth Citizen who had something that was of no particular use to him went to work and Capitalized it. Brad closed out his Interests for so much Money that any one else would have been ashamed to take it. Then he and some other Buc- cancers went down to Wall Street to have fun with several digni- fled Gentlemen whom Brad de- scribed as Them Fly Eastern Mugs. They succeeded in putting the Skids under a number of Per sons who did not care to meet them Socially.
 When Brad walked around in his Million Dollar Hut he had to step high to avoid stumbling over Bundles of the Long Green. But he never had made any further headway with his Botany.
 It happened one day that Brad was out Noting and he dropped in at the College where his Boyhood Friend was now the Professor of Dipsicology and Plamazzus.
 This is likely-looking Plant," said Brad, as he sized up the Cam pus. q like to encourage these Joints because they help to keep lot of Young Fenows away from Business Offices. find that have here in my Vest-Pocket measly $50,000 that 1 have overlooked in changing my Clothes. Give it to the Main Cheese and tell him to have a Laboratory on me-"
 When the News got out all the sis-boom-ah Boys gave a Parade in their Nighties. The Faculty called Special Meeting and made Brad Doctor of Philosophy.
 Next Year he put up for Gym and they made him a Doctor of Divinity.
 The Year following he handed them a Telescope and became an LL.D.
 Every time he coughed he was made some new kind of Doctor.
 In fact, for Man with a 6A Hat who did not know the differ ence between the Pistil and the Stamen he was the most learned Thing in Seven States. Prof. Otis was crowded into the Ditch. Some tlmes he wonders which of the two has the nub end of the Argument that started in the Red School House.

 Our national life is made vigorous by the ceaseless effort of the poor to be- come rich The distinction that come to the victor in the game of life illuminates his entire envir onment. He becomes, as 1t were, beacon to guide others who have set sail cn the sea of labor and cruise on, ever hopeful of casting anchor in the harbor of fortune. Millions are sailing on. Parents patiently laboring at the least promising and agreeable tasks cheerfully pay their hard earned money for the maintainance of children, who in public schools are being well prepared, to step into the world on a more ad- vanced plane of human efforts; and in the silent and hopeful contemplation Of this advancement of their children, they find tho reward of their honest toll They

With tn impetchosity so characteristic fy tn man, he broke a soup plate over her head where gentle sleep soon soothed tn bangs iv a weary heart. We left as quietly as We cud, consid- herin tn way tn chairs was plac- ed an wanst undher tn, stars com minted on tn ir'ny iv fate that eondimned so great a man to do so milancholy a distiny."
 This says our author, was years. In what purgatory wln that infamous woman suffer if Hiven thinks as much iv janiuses as We think iv ourselves. Porch nitely tn pote was soon to be mercifully relieved. He left her an she mario boorjawce with happiness. It is sad to relate that some years aftherward tn great pote, havin' called to make whom he had saeryfced so much, was unfeelingly kicked out iv tn boor1awce's plumbin' shop

N a Red School-House Daeh
 in the Web.Foot District, 1t
 was the Custom to have a ~@ Debate every Friday After noon. The much mooted Ques- tion as to which does the greater Damage, Fire or Water, had been carefully gone over by the Squabs. Also who was the heftier Propo- sition, Napoleon or Washington? But the original Standby was as follows: Resolved, that Educa- tion is better than Wealth."
 The Corporate Interests got many Whaek here in the Know ledge Works. Most of the Child ren wanted to grow up and be like Calico. They claimed that mere Wealth could not purchase Happi- ness. The only genuine Peace of Mind came from being able to call off the Geological Periods with the Eyes closed.
 Here in this little Brain Hatch cry were two Kids who were not Mates. One was named Otis and the other was Bradbury, or Brad for Short Otis was the Boy who took the Affirmative side on Fri day Afternoon. Ote firmly believ- ed that Learning was the most valuable Asset that a Man could tuck away. Brad was for the Money End of the Game but when he got up to make his Talk his Vocabulary would become damned up and caught crossways in the Flue and teacher would motion him back to his Seat. Otis, how ever, could tell in well-chosen Phrases why the Scholar was a better and happier Man than the Millionaire and so he always re- celved the Vote of the Judges.
 Now, Brad was done up but unconvinced. He could not stand up before the District School and tell why it was good policy to corral the Coin but he had a se- cret Hunch that it would be no Disgrace for him to go out and do the best he could. Brad had a bulldog Jaw and large blood-shot Hands and Neck-Band somewhat larger than his Hat-Band. He jumped the Stockade when they started to teach him Botany. He weighed 1S0 and he thought he was too large to sit around and count the Petals of the Ox-Eye Daisy when he might be out sell ing Lightning Rods to the Yaps and making jug-handled Contracts. Accordingly he Dug.
 Bradford is making a great Mistake" said Otis, as he saw his Friend tear from the Institution of Learning. Tn order to get a few worldly Chattels right at the jump he sacrifices his Diploma. I shall be more Foxy. I shall go right on through the High School and then l shall attend College and get a Degree. When I have taken my Degree then I will be the hu-

man It. My scholarly Attainments and polished Manner will get me past the Door and into the Inner Circle of the Hot Potatoes. As for Bradford, although it is. possible that he shall have eombed up a little Currency he will be a mere ordinary, sordid Business Man not one-two-seven when he tries to stack up against one who has just been delivered of a Thesis on the Correlated Phenomena of Unconscious Cerebration.
 While Brad was out in the back Township short changing the farm CTS and buying per cent Mort gages, Otis was working his way through College and living on Oat- meal except on Holidays and then Prunes. He was getting round shouldered and wore Specs and was all gaunted up but he never weakened. He was pulling for the Laurel Wreath of Scholarship, or h other words, the Degree. After humping it for four years he passed his final Exam and the Fac ulty decided that he was Bach elor of Arts.
 That was the Day when he had the Laugh on Brad.
 In the meantime. Bradford had been choking various People and

tn hired girl an tn doctor that paints tn black eye. But Everybody knows what happens in a janius' house. Tn janius al- ways tells tn bartinder. Besides he has other janiuses callin' on him an 'tis tn business iv a jan us to write about tn domestic throubles iv other janiuses so pos terity'll know what a hard thing 1t is to be a janius an duck. I've
 been readin' this book iv Hogan's an as tell ye. It's about tn misery a wretched woman inflicted on a pote's life. Our hayro,' says tn author, at this peeryed con- thracted an unforchunit alliance that was destined to cast deep gloom over his career. At tn age iv fifty, afther a life devoted to tn pursoot iv such gayety as jani- uses have always found nicissry to solace their avenin's, he marrid a young and beautiful girl some thirty-two years his junior. This wretched crather had no appre- citation iv lithrachoor or lithry men. She was frivoly- ous an light-minded an ivident- ly considhered that nawthin' was rally lithrachoor that cud- dent be thranslated into gro- ceries. Niyer shall I f'rget tn ex- pFession iv despair on tn face iv this godlike man as he came into var seat, holdin' In his hand a bit iv soiled paper which he tore into fragmints an hurled into tn coal scuttle. On that erumpled parch- mint findin' sombre grave among tn disinterred relics iv an age long past, to wit, tn carbon iferous or coal age, was written tn iver mim'rable pome: "Ode to Gin Our friend had subscribed 1t hastily at tn dinner fv tn Betther-thin Shakes peare Club, an had at- timpted to read it to his wife through tn keyhole iv her bed firm tn fillystein but a pitcher iv wather through tn thransom.

But such gr-reatest lithry masthers, a man indowed be mcclure with all that shud make a woman adore him as is proved to his tindher varses:

"Afther a few basins iv absceenthe in tn reev gosh" says he, "Parnassy invited us home to dinner.

taking it away from them. He had four Salesmen under him and had butted into the Firm but he was still shy on Botany.
 Inasmuch as Otis had been one of the brightest Men in his Class he was offered position as h. structor in the College at Salary of $55 Month with promise of $5 raise at the end of five Years, if he lived. Otis accepted, because the Outside World did not seem to be clamoring for his Services, even though he was an authority on the Mezozoic Period and knew all the Diatomes by their First Names.
 Often while he was burning the Midnight Oil and grinding out Jaw-Breakers, so as to qualify for the Masters Degree, he reflected as follows: ''It is true that Brad is making it Hand over Fist and wears $6 Shirts and rides in a State-Room on the Pullman, but he Is not a Bachelor of Arts. And some day when he is a Multi-Mil- lionaire I can still look down on him for then I shall be a Master of Arts. I have known since Childhood that Education is more desirable than paltry Gold. AL though the Newspapers and the General Public do not seem to be with me to any Extent, it is better to hob-nob with the Binomial The orem than to daily with the Cham pagne Supper"
 In due time the Faculty gave the Degree of M. A. to what was left of Otis and still his ambition was not satisfied. He wanted to land a Doctors Degree. He knew that anyone who aspired to this Emi- nent Honor had to be a Pippin. But he hoped that he could make

If the blow straw indie ates the dlrec- tion of the wind, it is fair to assume that the straws blown out in the social world indicate the direction of the aristocratic winds.
 Well may the reader ask: What do you mean by the social world? by the straws; by the aristocratic winds?
 In our stern democracy we all scoff at the idea that there is a social world, that there is an aristocratic sphere. It is re- pugnant to our principals. But we all know in our inner consciousness that we
