AS Russell Sage Is regarded all over

still it contains just enough truth TO
keep it from being absurd. Mr.. Sage's
indictment against "the vacation hab'

counts. In the first place, he thinks
a vacation Is an outrage on the legal.
rights of the employer. In'the second
place, he contends that a vacation in
stead Of being recuperative process

money and returns him to his work a
less valuable employe than he was be-

that 1t betrays a want of business am

1t may be freely admitted, as Mr.. Sage
says. that there Is no more justice In
an employe being paid for two weeks
without working than there would be
In his working two weeks without pay,

A Live Topic.

A member OF the faculty of the Uni
versity of Chicago tells of the sad case
of young woman from Indiana who
was DESTROYS of attaining social prom
inence in Chicago.
Soon after her arrival there she made
the acquaintance of student at the
university to whom she took great
fancy. Evidently it was at this time
that she realized for the first time her
early education had been neglected, for
she said to a friend:
II suppose that, as he is a college
man, I'll have to be awful careful
what say. What'll talk about to
him?"
THE friend suggested history as a
safe topic. To her friends astonish-
ment, she took the advice seriously and
shortly commenced in earnest to "bone
up'' in English history
When the young man called the girl
listened for some time with i'll con-
cealed impatience to his talk of foot
ball, outdoor meets, dances, etc., but
finally she decided to take the matter
in her own hands. She had not done
all that reading for nothing. SO,
pause in the conversation affording the
desired opportunity, she suddenly ex-
claimed, with considerable vivacity:
wasn't it awful about Mary, queen
of Scots?'
'1Vhy, what's the matter?" stammer-
ed the student, confused.
my graciousv' almost yelled the
girl from Indiana. "Didn't you know?
why, the poor thing had her head cut
