Not a Nature Student.

She was not a nature student, and
when she saw a sparrow on the side
walk, evidently too young to fly and
too badly frightened even to hop, she
did not know exactly what to do for it.
She did not know how it had got there,
where its parents were or what relief
measures would be advisable. All she
could do in her perplexity was to keep
the group Of boys who had gathered
around it from harming it and to see

then stopped and took it up. She was
much relieved "Win you take care Of
it?' she asked him. "Surel" he re-

was anxious that it should have the

A queer reminiscential CLEAN crept
into the eyes Of the barber with the
long, low, rakish forehead as he sud-
denly rested his razor while shaving
the Adams apple of the lean, nervous
looking man in the chair.
81 was King Louis XIV. Of France
last night" said the barber suddenly,
the razor still poised about half an
inch above the lean customers Adams
apple.
The customer blinked and breathed
hard, the shaved side Of his face be-
ing nearly as white as the still lather-
ed other side.
"Wait a minute" he said, placing a
shaking hand on the BARRIERS shaving
arm
He sat up straight In the chair with
wild look and then made bolt for
the door.
"Whewr he yelled as he went.

streaming in the breeze and one side
of his face still lathered, he loped

Life at the pole is perpetual battle
with nature, in which man Is often
worsted. HE was frozen to death" is
the end of many biographies. While q
man is In health they speak Of him as
stronger than DEATH" as If death were
a watchful enemy always waiting fol-
his chance. But life is on large scale
up there. Instead Of the petty alterna
lions Of night and day they have the
great seasonal succession, and, wheth
er they are waiting for the long hgbt
of summer or the long dark of winter
they enjoy keen delight In the pros
pect of change such as we can never
know in the tanner arrangements OF
our climate. The long dark does moi
keep them wholly inactive. We read Of
expeditions after bear and hunting or
the ice by torchlight, but In the main
their winter is given up to story tell
ing, conversation and contemplation.

In his autobiography the late Pro
lessor ShaIer of Harvard tells this
story: Once he was present at a dinner
in England where Tyndall, the re-
nowned scientist, started to tell about
experiences In America. His descrip-
tons were, to say the least. exagger-
ated. Just as he was telling about q
thrilling escape from drowning which
he had had while viewing Niagara
falls describing it with bursts of by
periodicals eye happened to catch
that of Shaler, whom he had not no.
ticed before.
For a moment Tyndall stopped,
abashed-then, with wink Of the eye,
as If begging Shaler not to give him
away" he continued the tale, but in a
noticeably subdued vein.
At its conclusion Tyndan sought
Shaler.

Student cn.oneration.

In every college there are numbers
of good upper class men who are eager
to cooperate with the faculty in start
ing freshmen along the right path, and
1t is amazing that thus far so little
advantage has been taken of their
services. Each of these upper class
men should be given list of from
five to ten freshmen whom he would
make it his duty to know. He would
talk over with them their work and
their play, their study. their amuse-
ments, their athletics. He would make
sure that each, outside of his lessons.
was given a sane interest. something
to do for the college. whether partici-
patton In football or In debating or in
writing for the college papers. He
would see to it far more effectively
than the dean. or even than the ad-
visers. that each was getting his fair
chance socially. He would report cases
where financial aid was needed or ad-
monition or encouragement AS it Is
at present. many fellows are lonely.
Many, especially from distance, miss
the recognition they deserve merely
because they ignorantly room outside
the sphere of undergraduate life or,
knowing no one at first. fall in with
uncongenial classmates and, becoming
discouraged, withdraw into themselves.
To such lonely men the dangerous
pleasures existing outside Of college
appeal as substitutes for what they
have missed in college. These TRACE
dies would be far less likely to occur
If all members of the class were
thrown together and natural associa-
lions facilitated through the provision
of upper class men and advisers. vii

There is a story told Of Bjornstjerne
Bjornson that, arriving at late hour
at the town Of Bergen, which was en-
fete to receive him, he vouchsafed to
the expectant people no finer words
Of wisdom than a general recommen-
dalton to 60 to bed.
In vain they appealed to him for
song or sentiment" The great Bis
marck. said be- gave the same advice
under conditions all similar. and what
was good enough for Berlin must suf-
fee for Bergen.
Three yelrs later. on visiting the
town for the second time, the master
novelist found deserted city. Not a
light burned in the dismal railway
station, no banners waved. no address
cs were read by portly burgomasters.
In vain Bjornson asked for cab,
"They have all gone to bed" was
the reply. And so Bergen remembered.
