BADGER Reclaimed Freedom.

The sportsman naturalist, st. John,
one day found a badger in a trap, not
much injured. Tying a rope to is hind
leg, he drove the animal home
strange to say, the captive beast
logged steadily along in front of him
and giving little more trouble than a
pig going to market. On reaching
home the animal was put for the night
into paved court, where it seemed
perfectly secure. Next morning" says
St. John, che was gone, having dis
placed a stone that I thought him
quite incapable of moving and then,
digging under the wall he got away"

Speakers Eloquence Was From the

An Englishman relates the follow

Of the other orators delivered the
most impressive speech I have ever
heard. He spoke OF the struggle OF
the poor, how they had to bear their
burden. He made me almost cry by
his eloquence. He talked about his
own little home, which he only just
managed to keep together by the
sweat of Ills brow Who is he" l
asked. WELL replied my friend, the
candidate, he is known in his own
town as "Popshop Dick" because he

The Acquisition Of Knowledge Proper

Edith Wharton writes: "The me-
chanical reader, as he always reads
consciously, knows exactly how much
he reads, and will tell you so with the
pride of the careful housekeeper who
has calculated to within half an ounce
the daily consumption of food in her
household. As the housekeeper IS apt
to go to market every day at certain
hour, so the mechanical reader has
often fixed time for laying In his
intellectual stores; and not infrequent-
ly he reads. for just 50 many hours
day. The statement in one Of Hamer-
toms youthful diaries, I shall now com
mence a course of poetical reading, be-
ginning with fifty hours Of Chaucer,
and gave him one and one-half hours
last night it leaves me exactly forty
eight and one-half,' is a good example
of this kind Of reading. .z
