of his absent fair one-or perhaps it is miniature from which her lovely face smiles at him. or lucky penny she gave him at parting, which does the business. Again, the sabre which de- scends with such crushing force upon the shapely head of Reginald, meets thu resistence of that last tender mis- sive from her (which he carries in his hatband) so fails to take the life of the hero, but leaves instead that scar across his brow, which he carries to his grave, and which renders him henceforth doubly interesting and irresistible to his feminine admirers.
 Now we are aware that few of our favorite heroes of romance carry cig- arette papers in their vest pockets--that is, for some reason, usually left to the villain,-nor, perhaps, do our favorite heroes in real life, so we wont insist on them. But where there is one man in real life who carries locket over his heart, there are thousand who carry fountain pens, memorandum books, pocket rules, or cigar cases. And we feel sure that we should find fully as many bills, receipted and otherwise, as love letters. But should any of these prosaic articles be substituted, at this critical moment in our hero's life, for the Iockets and love letters aforesaid, the same lovely face which expressed such deep interest and sympathy for Algernon and Reginald would now mir TOT the utmost disdain. "How common place and uninterestingw would be the comment, or from the masculine read CT, "Well, that's good one! Saved by a pocket rule. DroIl chap, that writer" accompanied by hearty laugh. The incident would provoke either disdain or laughter.
 This is only one typical instance of a very prevalent attitude of mind. The real and the natural are too frequently set aside for the artificial and the melo- dramatic. Too many people find no beauty or romance or interest in the life around them, so turn from it with indifference to lose themselves in the apparently more romantic and beauti- ful world of fiction, which is excellent for an occasional excursion, but should not be a permanent dwelling place. Life, with all it's mysteries and beauties and contradictions, is greater than all the books ever written, for they are only feeble reflections of a small DOT tion of it's immensity. The freaks of Fate seem strange until we realize that in Life nothing is of itself common place or unimportant, or great and stupendous, but that these qualities are gained only through association. There is no sharp line drawn between tragedy and comedy, the sublime and the ridiculous, but they are often in- termingled and strangely alike.
 The great minds, the worlds favored ones, have been they who studied life first, and then books, they who wrested the message from each passing hour, who, like Oedipus, gravely pondered the riddle propounded by the Sphinx, and then, like him, fearlessly risked all, even life itself, to proclaim the an swer they had framed.

When the little children Of the public kindergar-

the first weeds springing up in their new school
garden, they declined resolutely to pull them up
They had learned to be SO tender Of every green

to be obliged to take anything so pretty as some
weeds are out of it's lodgTnent in the SOFT brown
soil. Through the agency Of their garden they
had come to love the meanest plant. It took them
a long while to realize that weed is plant in
the wrong place.
Nobody in that immediate section Of The Bronx

kindergarten when they mean the hitherto vacant

SMITH GIRLS GIVE PLAY.
"As You Like IT. Chosen by Senior
Glass This Year.

Hundreds of relatives and friends of the gradu-
ating class at Smith College witnessed the senior
dramaics. which were given last Thursday, FRI
day and Saturday nights in the Academy Of Music
at Northampton Mass. "As You Like It" was the
play chosen by the class Of 1906 and the choice
was justified by the enthusiasm with which the
comedy was received.
With the exception of the class of 1892, which
gave Browning's 'Colombs's Birthday" and the
class OF 1904, which put the old Hindu drama
'Sakuntala" on the American stage for the first
time, Shakespearean plays have always been given
for senior dramatics at Smith College. The class
