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 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
a young fellow appeared, watched the
children for a time, seemed interested,
and asked few questions about them
AS the young man was neatly
dressed, clean shaven, quiet in man
ner. and not unintelligent looking.
Smith was prepared to find him 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,
no." said the youth, 1--WE got a good

Food and Brains.

The advantage of fasting for intel.
lectual work is being eXemplified by a
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 professor 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 un-
til, when he arrives at the Goth day OF
his fast, the thinking world will be
simply daZzled by the intellectual out

need to do to produce "Thanatopsis"

The Silent Mans Wooing.
BY CARRIE MAY ASHTON.

He was big silent man wholly alb
sorbed in business and self the world
said.
Respected by many, but loved by
none, his employees said.
No one could be more Just than he,
but those about him often wished he
was more 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 home
was in the true sense of the word.
His father had deserted his mother
when he was a few weeks DID, and
the poor little woman had fingered un-
til the lad was six years old.
He had loved her passionately, but
after she left him he had learned to
live within himself
He had found the world cold, hard
one to the homeless, but with fine
physical Inheritance and dauntless
courage he had worked his way up
from carrier-boy to the proprietor OF
one of the largest newspapers in
large metropolis.
He was never a social creature and
refused all invitations.
He knew very few women and they
rarely saw his best side.
He lived in very quiet boarding
house where Madame Brunig, a kindly
German woman Kept half dozen men
who could afford to pay her we'll
Elizabeth Wells, wholesome, at
tractive girl of twenty-five, had spent
the summer vacation with Madame
as she was teaching in neighborins
city, and her mother was travelling
with 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 half
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
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 heartier handshakc
than the reserved Mr.. Baker.
He did not as usual retire to his

Baker to feel sure that l should max e
you or myself happy as your wife.
Our acquaintance has been SO very
brief. do not know the least thing
about you, except that you are pro-
prietor of The Bulletin. You know
little more about me. l shall be glad
to continue the acquaintance and at
the end of six months you can ask me
the same question again and l will
answer it."
The twain kept their own council
and no one was made any the wiser
for that drive.
Mr.. Baker made frequent visits to
the city in which Miss Wells resided
Flowers, books. music and confec
tionery found their way to the young
lady's home. Long letters reached
her in which the cold. silent man told
her of his early trials and loneliness,
his longings and aspirations for hap
pier future.
Gould she be happy and satisfied
with him?" she had asked herself
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 lunch con
with Elizabeth Wells he took 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 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-
sides getting him a new suit of clothes.
How forcibly this incident brought
back his own cheerless childhood to
the man.
Perhaps he could put little sun
shine into the newsboy's life!
