stupIdity br Indorsement.

Before President Angel of the University
of Michigan had attained to his present
high position a young hopeful entering
college was recommended to his considera-
ton.
TRY the boy out, professor; criticise him
and tell us both what you think" the par
ents said.
To facilitate acquaintance the professor
took the boy for walk. After ten minutes
silence the youth ventured: Fine day,
professor"
Yes" with a far away look.
Ten minutes more and the young man
squirming all the time, ventured: This is
a pleasant walk, professor"
YES"
For another ten minutes the matriculate
boiled to his bones and then blurted out
that he thought they might have rain.
Yes" And this time the professor went
on: Young man, we have been walking
together for half an hour, and you have
said nothing which was not commonplace
and stupid"
True" answered the boy, his wrath
passing his modesty, "and you Endorsed
every word said"
Then they laughingly shook hands, and
word went home from the professor that
the boy was all right and that they were
great friends.-Detroit Free Press.
