which I did not gain some pleasure or profit.
 Lately have read long story that was all talk and ruffles, nothing to 1t, but having started, I travelled on. and in the middle of 1t I came upon five lines that contained wise suggestion for our guidance. something really worth know ing. and l felt that I had been far more than repaid.
 This Is not a method of reading that you can. as you might say, apply back ward. For instance, I remember reading once two lines of poetry that impressed me greatly, and I thought to myself that the man who could write poetry like that must be noble poet; and so l bought his complete works. in two volumes. but with some few exceptions I found his poems pretty dry reading.
 "So it may be that in many books we shall find but very small gem and a good deal of setting; and I would not counsel reading poor books for the sake of what we may find in them; we shall do better than that if we can get good books but I do say that if l were cast away on some lone desert island l could get along very comfortably If 1 had any books at all; for have never yet seen any book that did not contain some thing"

ECONOMICS
 FOR THE POOR

From Van Norden-The World Mirror
 For more than three years MT. Horace Fletcher has endeavored to introduce his ideas before the public by every means in his power, but " lthittle success. Yet now, as we known. one can hardly pick up a paper, daily or weekly. which has not at one time or another, iwthin tho past year or two, published an article on "Fetcherism."
 .'The principles which I teach" said MT. Fletcher, land which are commonly known to the public as 'Fletcherism.' arc a guarantee of temperance, because no one can 'F1etcherize' faithfully and be intemperate. From an economic stand point these principles are certainly worthy of the most serious consideration. If tho practice were to become universal. fully 50 per cent of our poverty would be re- moved at once. It has been proven be- yond a doubt that ordinary living ex- penses may be reduced 50 per cent. with an increase of from 50 to 100 per cent in physical efficiency-whicn means added welt made the oft-quoted remark: Our health and achievement. President Roose- welt made the oft-quated remark: Our greatest national physical asset Is our ria- tional health I believe in this most hea-tifly and my school is ay attempt to benefit humanity by putin $ this idea into practice.
 ITO obey tho laws of health is no longer regarded as a mere fad. The demands Of this busy age upon our vitality must be met by proper knowledge and care of the body. It is an age of large oppor- tunity and reward for the trained indi- vidual in every walk of life. At time when personality counts for more than eyer before, men realize that the paths of physical and mental training arc side by side and coordinate, and that oom- bined, they produce that symmetrical de- yelopment which is essential to success."

norina's heart; for none OF them knew
aught of her honesty. She turned aside
for moment and fumbled with the
hidden chain about her neck. She
placed her hand on the table and
opened it. O'Mally gasped, Smith
opened his mouth, and Worth leaned
forward. An emerald, a glorious green
emerald, free from the usual cluster
of diamonds, alone in all its splendor,
lay in the palm of her hand.

O'Mally," said the owner, till 1 re-

Wen trust you anywhere this side

And that was as near familiarity as
O'Mally ever came.
She turned to Smith, but he put
out a hand in violent protest; then to
Worth, but he smiled and shook his
head.
"O'Mally is right" he said. I'VE
need no guaranty"
She put the ring away. 1t was her
mothers. She never would smile in
secret at these men again. They
might be vain and artificial and al
ways theatrical, but there was never
theless a warm and generous heart
beneath.

that will keep till this one under

"Pshaw!" said O'Mally.
Nonsense" said Smith.
And Worth smiled reassuringly.
O'Mally beckOned to waiter. "Oony
bottle vino dee Asst, caldo, frappel"
he said loudly, so that all might hear
him give the order. A month in
Venice, and he would be able to talk
like a native. True, if any Italian
spoke to him, he was obliged to shake
his head; but that was a trifling mat
ter.
