THE SPIRIT OF sELFIsHkfss.
Declared to Be Responsible for Many
Pressnt.Day Evils.

Rev. William R. Huntington Of New
York said recently that It was moro
dangerous to be railway brakeman
than to be q murderer, and proved his
assertion with statistics, showing that
one murderer In 70 was hanged, where
az, one brakeman in 30 was killed.
Discussing this startling fact thu
other day, DR.. Huntington said that
the widespread spirit Of selfshness
was no doubt responsible. ,
I'VE incline" he said, TO put our
selves too far ahead Of other people.
We could all make no better resolution
than to be less selfish. As II is, we are
too much like the art student.
There was, you know, a poor Yer
mont art student who shared a studio
bedroom with journalist from Wis
consin.
The Vermonter went out one morn.

home two chops. He laid them on the
table and the cat leaped up and de-
voured one.

She Made Trouble.

A girl who has Just returned from

who was too inquisitive regarding her

though she was a mild and innocent

spector seemed to suspect deceit In
her appealing glance.
So when, he came across what the
girl told him was a nest OF Swedish
baskets he seemed to think he had
surely caught his victim red handed.
He opened the basket and somewhat
to his surprise discovered another.
He opened 1t and kept on opening
baskets until the seventeenth was
reached. Here" his triumphant
glance seemed to say, rs where
