NOT MUCH OF A PUZZLE.
What the People Said and Thought WiIl Not Re DimcnIt to
 Imagine.

A lot of men and women we're riding on street car in which were an old wo- man who was at the age when she would have been insulted to be called old, an old man of the same sort and who tried $o look sporty with his gray mustache. and baby three years old, relates the Baltimore American. The baby was with the two old people, and this is a verbatim report of the triangular con. versation that was carried on in a loud tone, the parties looking about occasion ally to sec that everyone in the car could hear distinctly:
 Woman-:Who is at man? Huh? What?
 Baby-Dono.
 Woman-Yes he does know, bless his title heart. Him's just in fun.
 Man-Tum now. Tell me who is?
 Baby-Danpa-
 Woman and man in chorus Cooking at each other and grinning like Cheshire cats) huh! Of course he knew all the time. Oh, but he's cute.
 Man--Where did him det is gloves hey? Tell danpa where him dot his little gloves?
 Woman--say down town"
 Baby-Down town.
 Man and woman in chorus (doing an- other dentifrice speciality )-Just listen. Isn't 1t wonderful how he talks? told Mamie this morning she just had to let me take him down town. She's so strict with him that tell her she's positively cruel to the child-what?
 Baby-Dimme my tandy
 Woman-No, baby mustn't have tandy. Bad for baby's tummy Make baby sick.
 Baby-I wants my tandy!
 woman--Look at 'ze little doggie out ze window-look!
 Baby-I wants my tandy!
 Man--Look at choo-choo cars goin' by-see 'em?
 Baby-f wants my tandy-whee-ee -ee-ee-ee-wow, WOW!
 Woman-Well, it sail have it's tandy, tell you, Mamie's entirely too hard on the child. and you can see its effect on him-just starved for candy! She tells me I'd spoil him, but that's just her no- tion about it-shes so strict. Just look at him now how good he is, and without
 
 a bit of humoring.
 Man.-How does ze old tow go?
 Baby-Moo-oo--oo!
 Man and woman in chorus M-m-m-m! Isn't that too cute for any, thing. It's so strange-everywhere he's taken people just notice him-they hardly take their eyes of of him-what. Preston street? We'll, tum on, baby tum wifi dramma and danpa. Aint' 1t nice dranma and baby met danpa on the car! l!
 Puzzle-Guess what the men on the car said under their brGaths while they had to listen to that guff, and guess what the few ladies on the car would have said if they hadn't been ladies. Guess, also, why the minister who sat real close to the foolish bunch wished that he was layman for about five minutes.

rechnical Educatton.

pr. Louis Duncan declares in maga- zine article that in this country techni- cal education is too technical. There is. too much instruction" he says. "We should not attempt to make mental storehouses of men, but mental factor les. The ability of man to work out any specific problem depends upon his being able to make mental plot of the problem and keep it constantly before him. This requires an imagination that mas been developed and not suppressed"
