A LIBERAL EDUCATION.
Some Comment. on the Cuery Does a

some Comment on the cuery DOCS
College Educa.:on Pay?"
Young people Often ask us, "Will
it pay to go to collcsc ii one is going
70 be merchant, druggist, a
farmer, etc. z"
Whether or not liberal cduca-
ton pays depends upon the ambi-
tion of the inquirer. DO you want
to be just as much of man as pos
sible, or do you want merely to get
as much money as you can?
If your ambition is simply to sea
how many goods you can sell and
how much money you can rake to-
gcthcr; if you have no desire to
reach out into the broad fields, to
be known as a man who amounts to
something in the world, who carries
weight in his community; if you
have no ambition to be man of
broad, liberal, progressive ideals; if
you do not wish to know anything
about your goods before they reach
your store, where they are made or
the conditions Of the people who
manufacture them and have no de-
sire to better their conditions; if
you have no ambition to make the
world little better than you found
it, then a college education will
probably not do you much good. If
it is simply going to increase your
capacity to grasp, seize and hold
material things, to get little more
away from others by your long
headed methods; if it is only going
to increase your shrewdness, your
ability to scheme ways and means
Of piling up more dollars, then 1 do
not advise you to go. But if you
want to be of real help to your gen
Grafton; if your ambition is to be
just as much of a man as possible,
to be larger and truer and nobler;
If you wish to make the most of the
material the Creator has given you,
then get all the knowledge you can
transmute into real power.
I notice that it has been the
broadly educated men that have en-
larged and improved the spheres
into which they have entered. AS
a rule, it has been the boys who
have been to college and gained a
liberal education who have mixed
brains with the soil, who have de-
veloped marvellous possibilities Of
agriculture by their knowledge of
chemistry and botany, by their abil-
ity to study the effects of climatic
conditions upon crops, who have
brought fruits and vegetables and
cereals to greater perfection by their
superior knowledge.-Success.

A tale is told of family consist

undersized man and his strapping,
belligerent wife, a woman whose
temper was worse than uncertain.
One evening just at dusk the
neighbors were startled by hearing
shrieks, thumps and other unaccus-
toned noises issuing from the house,
and, supposing that the place had
been entered by burglars, several
persons went in at the open door
and proceeded to investigate.
The sounds came from an upper
room. Rushing upstairs, the in
truders flung open a door, to discov-

invited In Italy.
The three artists were invited by
Fagiola to feast. They found the
family all gathered in the living
room Of rather superior peasants
house. The foor was cf Mother
Earth. There were salted hams and
strings of garlic hanging from the
ceiling. In front of the open hearth
were hand wrought andirons with
little cages at the top in which the
pipkins of food we're kept hot. Fagi-
ola made them welcome, and, his
wife having announced that the
polenta was ready, the husband lit
orally laid the board. The guests
and the family seated themselves,
the children on wooden stools, the
grownup people on rush bottomed
chairs, and Fagiola took a large
board from the corner. With a
knife he scraped off the dried meal
sticking to it out Of the door, the
fowls gathering to feed upon the
scrapings. Then he passed his hand
across the board and, finding it
comparatively smooth, laid it upon
the knees of the company, who were
sitting in a circle. Next he took
from the crane, where it hung over
the fire, large, three legged iron
pot of polenta (hasty pudding) and
empticd it upon the board. His
wife with long pudding stick
spread out ,uc mush to the proper
thickness. Then each person staked
out his claim by drawing a circle
in the polenta with leaden spoon.
The smallest child, they noticed,
drew the biggest circle. Next Fagi-
ola took from the cage in the and
iron, where it had been keeping
warm, saucepan filled with snails
stewed in brown gravy and helped
each person to share of the snails,
putting it down carefully within
the limits of the circle. That was
all the feast, except the inevitable

place of meat with these people

as clearly as she could, and for few
moments Florence sat in deep silence.
Then:
