Possibilities of Odd Moments.

1t is really wonderful how much
can be gained by improving odds and
ends of time In keen analytical observ-
ing. thinking, reading, studying. Think
of the untold wealth locked up in the
spare moments and long winter eve
nings of every life, says Success Mag
azine. 1t is possible to pick up an
education in the odds and ends of
time which most people throw away.
If those who have been deprived OF
q college education would only make
up their minds to get substitute for
It, they would be amazed to see what
even the evenings of few weeks de-
voted conscientiously to the college
studies would accomplish.
When noted literary man asked
how he managed to accomplish so
much with so little friction or appar-
ent effort, he replied: by organizing
my time. To every hour its appointed
task or duty, with no overlapping or
infringements."
There is great deal of time wasted
even in the busiest lives, which, if
properly organized. might be used to
advantage.

GOT IN WITH BOTH FEET
And Next Time Brown Will Think
Before He Talks Too
Much,

81 see your wife is German" re-
marked Brown casually.
Robinson looked up in surprise.
why" he said, "how did you guess
that? She was born in this country.
and has neither a trace of accent or
German idiom."
Brown laughed a little confusedly.
Il just guessed it," he answered st
was-well, maybe it was that /
thought she had Teutonic features"
Robinson looked first at his wife
and then at Brown. THAT Is curious"
he said. "She is more often taken for
a person of French extraction. Her
people are from the Rhine district,
you know, and as she is dark and
slight very few would think she was
German. In the popular mind that
type is fair and large"
oh" answered Brown, who had by
this time recovered his assurance, 81
am we'll acquainted with many types
of German. That is probably how
came to make such an inconsiderate
remark"
Mrs. Robinson laughed lightly. I'm
proud Of my Germanic origin" she
said. "But it has never happened be-
fore that anyone guessed It so ac-
curately as you did"
Then the conversation drifted to
other matters. But Mrs. Brown re-
membered, and on the way home she
said to her husband: "How did you
guess Mrs. Robinson is German?"
Nearly got my foot in it, didn't II"
said her husband, throwing out his
chest little. But it was clever de-
tectlve work on my part. Did you see
how she poured tea? No? Well, she
lifted the pot high and poured it so
that bubbles formed in the cup. She
got that gesture from pouring beer, or
seeing it poured, so as to get a bead.
That made me think she was German.
OF course she might have been some
other nationality, but the Germans
take most care in pouring their beer
and do it most artistically, so"
But his wife interrupted him. "How
does it happen" she demanded, that
you know so much about the art of
pouring beer?" And though she con-
tinued to question him all the way
home and for considerable time
after they arrived home, she did not
get what she considered a satisfactory
explanation.-N. Y. Press.
