Taking Rank as a Specialist.

a student in one of the colleges
found himself face to face with an
examination in Old Testament history
a subject which he had entirely ig-
nored all term. Taking counsel with
some friends, he decided that all he
really needed to know was the ding
list Of the names of the kings of
Israel and their dates. So he crammed
them each and all into his bursting
head. But. sad to relate, all he was
asked to do was to criticize the acts of
Moses. Not one act of Moses, good, bad,
or Indifferent, could the unfortunate
youth remember, so, after much
thought, he wrote as follows:
Far be it for one as humble as I
am to criticizse the acts of the great
Moses; but, If you would care to know
the names of the kings of Israel and
their dates, you will find them written
below!" He was passed - Harper's

BY EDWIN A. NYH-
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye,

Frank Hall of Chicago could not
bear to stand by and see his wife and
baby starve.
Whereupon he turned amateur bur-
glar.
The wife is slip of girl, who says
she is eighteen, but looks younger.
The baby is a mere mite. And the
husband himself Is a scrawny runt

Hall got out OF work. He walked
the streets day after day looking for
Job. He was willing to do anything.
Finally he told his wife he was going
to steal something from a fat and sell
it to buy food.
The police discovered the theft and
tried to find Hall. Three times they
put the little wife into the Sweat
box to make her tell her husbands
whereabouts. She would not say.
Frank isn't a burglar" said Mrs.
Hall. He did this only TO buy some
thing for us to eat. could get along

alive. Frank came home night after
