The Common Sense Man.

When he has little leisure he is
fond of taking up a Shakespeare, say,
Then he will read you q line, ito take
arms against sea Of troubles"-ab-
surd; how can you fight the sea with
swords and guns!-or he will look at
an intensely religious picture by an OLD
master, and smile superior at the ugli-
ness of Madonnas." He Is satisfied that
he has passed final criticism on
Shapespeare or Velasquez The one
literary man he knows something a
bout and regards is DR.. Johnson! He
loves him for his triumphant refuta-
ton of Berkeley by hitting the ground
with his stick. There you had COM
mon sense and philosophy face to face,
and our common sense man admlres
the great man of letters for probably
the silliest and most ignorant blunder
he ever made. This confidence In the
obvious is the secret Of the common
sense mans swagger and of his little
ness. He cannot believe there can be
Anything reconcile; the obvious mean
ing of thing is for him always the
right meaning, and so he. never knows
the real meaning Of anything. 1t is
all SO simple to him. He roams thru,
life untouched by mystery, unstirred
by wonder. 1t is curious. indeed, that
he is not more hostile to religion; for
nothing could be more alien from his
point of view. What could be more
useless than to trouble about things
unseen when you are surrounded by
things you can see? That is surely
not business. Probably his attitude to
religion is that Of Washington Irving's
retired butcher, who thought religion
an excellent institution. 1t is plainly
respectable, and it keeps some men So
Der and others honest who would 9th
erwise drink or steal; so there is some
common sense in religion after all. But
theology, away with 1t, while saints
are foolishness and ascetics an abom-
ination.
And so the common sense man goes
thru life, often successful in his own
way, never great, never noble; he sees
everything false; the great things he
sees little, the little things big, and
himself the biggest Of all. He lives

A ST.. 600 TRAMP.

Section Foreman w. W. East tells
of tramp who one night last week
took lodging in a box car at Smith S
Station. The tramp used chunk of
wood for pillow, under which Oh
retiring, he placed his pocketbook for
safe keeping. Next morning when
he arose and started on his eastward
journey he forgot his pocketbook,
Then came hands to load the car with
slaves, which work had proceeded
until the car was nearly full when
about nine O'Clock the tramp was seen
coming down the track at an unusual
gait-for tramp at least per
spring to beat the band. He jumped
into the car and began to paw around
among the slaves. Finally, when he
found his wallet, he showed the work
men big bunch of bills and told
them they were just out thousand
dollars by not finding it first. Then
he proceeded up the track and was
lost to view. Doubtless he was seen
in Edwards trying to support an un
fortunate cripple. Edwards Echo.
