4 LWAYS read on the electric cars

Keeping him waiting for his fare.
When he speaks to you and you finally
realize what he wants, close your book
in quiet, leisurely, distracted sort of a
way, feel for your purse and give him a
nickel, and then wonder why he does
not give you back the twenty cents he
owes you.
After you have worried yourself into
quite fever about it, then look into your
purse. On seeing nothing but dimes and
quarters and that it was nickel that
you gave him. This should occupy
about seven blocks and should in no way
interfere with the reading of your book
Always choose something light and
easy to understand, like Browning, Kant,
or Matthew Arnold. If you could bring
with YOU an uncut copy of your book,
so much the better. The cars not being
built Tor literary purposes are not
equipped with paper cutters, so this
gives woman an opportunity to use Il
hair pm or a finger to cut the leaves and
thus to add to the appearance of the
book
If the cars are crowded, as they some
times are between five and six o'clock
on the busy lines Of any city, you will
enjoy your poem or essay the more for
the gentle and occasional stopping of the
car, its slow and imperceptible start,
the casual opening and shutting of the
door, the rustling of newspapers. the
peek-a-boo effect of the lights. if it be
winter. and the general noise. All are
excellent for mental concentration.
To know when you have arrived ut
your destination is of slight importance.
and the conductor never troubles to men,
ton it : so with this fact paramount you
can do your author real justice.
If you are not a writer, a critic. or an
editor of anything. and have no excuse
for doing it. mark the book. If you have
given the work no serious thought. write
little criticisms on the margins; and be-
tween the lines write explanations of
what YOU think the author meant. Be
sure to cross out anything with which

EducatIon and nuelnesa.

It may as well be admitted that
college training doesn't teach a
man to keep books or to sell goods.
What education aims to do is to ed
ucate-to develop tie man, to awak-

to widen his horizon. There is no
danger that not enough attention
shall be given to commercial devel-
opment. But there is possibility
that the business man may become

says q writer in the Saturday Eyan-
ing Post, is a story he was ever
quick to tell on the austere Justice
Field, who didn't like it.
Complaining letters of all sorts
come to a president. One day a
western marshal grew querulous be-
cause an item i'll his accounts, by
which the government was charged
with q carriage furnished Field from
his hotel to the court, had been dis
allowed. The marshaps grief was
made the sharper since his fellow
marshal of an adjoining state had
likewise furnished carriage for
Field when he held court within his
9lstr1ct ana the charge had been al
lowed and paid.
Commonly little attention is Civ
en- to these cries of the wronged, be-
yond what is required to shunt them
upon a 'sproper" official, usually
the one against whom complaint is
lodged. But in this instance Harri-
son asked his secretary to discover
the truth of the trouble. Why was
one charge allowed and the other re-
fused?
The secretary took q look into the
riddle and learned that thA fortu-
nate ono had been sagacious enough
to include tho carriage for Field in
his item of expense "For care and
transportation of prisoners" In
that way it was allowed. It used to
give Harrison much pleasure to re-
late this yarn. Field, however, saw
nothing funny in it.
