HARVARD MAN is ALL RIGHT.

As CIV c. Barnard of Caldwell, n. j.
was pushing his lawn mower one AFTER
noon in last May a young man stopped
at the lawns edge and asked Tor work
Barnard promptly pointed TO the lawn
mower and the applicant started IN en-
ergeticalIy. Barnard took a seat, anc
whenever the man with the mower came
within talking distance Barnard got q
section of his autobiography.
The third chapter began with, well,
when I was graduated from Harvard
What cried Barnard, ieaplng up,
I'm d Harvard man myself.
OF course, the two struck up a friend
ship. and Barnard lent a twenty-dollar
bill to his fellow aiumnus to be repaid
with interest. That was the stipulation
made by the stranger. The grass cutting
lob finished, a smile entered on the ac-
count book of each man and they parted.
Yesterday Barnard received a letter
from Boise, Idaho. dated October s. in
which was OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bill The
letter read
Dear Mr.. Barnard; Your kind loan
made TO me last May is returned with
interest Have made good, mostly owing
to your generosity. Yours very sincerely,
GRATEFUL BOZ"
Barnard was overjOyed at hearing suen
good news of his protege. He remembered
the man who had complained of hunger
and had begged for work and food, and
though Barnard, of course, could never
doubt the word of a Harvard man, ne had
not expected to be reimbursed so
promptly and with such excess.-NeW

The End of
the Romance

TT IS DONE! In the fires fitful
= The last line was withered
curled;
In a tiny white heap Of dead ashes
Lie buried the hopes Of your world.
There were mad. foolish vows in each
letter
It IS Wen they have shriyeled and
burned;
And the ring! Oh. the ring was a fetter-
It was better removed and returned.
But, all IS it done? In the embers.
Where letters and tokens were cast,
Have you burned up the heart that Te-
And treasures its beautiful past?
Do you think in this swift, reckless
fashion
To ruthlessly burn and destroy
The months that were fTeighted With
The dreams that we're drunken with
joy
That flashed from the lips to the sOul2
Or the heart that grows sick for lost
blsses
In spite Of its strength Of conrol9
Have you burned up the touch Of warm
That thrilled through each pulse and
each vein,
Or the sound of a voice that still fingers
And hurts with haunting refrain?
Is it done2 Is the life drama endedg
You have put all the lights out, and
yet,
Though the curtain. rung down, has
descended,
Can the actors go home and f0rget2
All no. They will turn IN their sleeping
With a strange. restless pain IN their
And in darkness and anguish and weeping
VIII dream they are playing their parts.

IT MAKES MUSICIANS SMILE.

Thaddeus Rich, cOnceTt-master Of
the Philadelphia orchestra. was dis
cussing things musical a few nights
ago with a number of friends when
they started telling of funny things
that had happened to musicians,
when I was studying in Boston,
said Rich, they used to tell a tale
about man named Harper, an odd old
character. who played a trombone in
one of the small theatres there. One
time they were rehearsing a new over
ture.
Throughout the piece Harper was
a little behind the rest of the men. Be
fore they started it a second time the
leader reproved Harper for not coming
in more regularly with the other play
ers.
when they attempted it again, Har-
per came in as usual two or three beats
behind time. The leader stopped and,
after letting loose a lot Of profanity,
demanded TO know if the trOmbOnist
knew he was playing about half
dozen notes behind the others.
Harper nodded. That's all right.

Relaxing is a marvellous thing; but It

there is too much detail TO II. But IN
a general way, you must try to make
yourself believe that you are very heavy

While you are thinking this, you must

After relaxation the rolling begins.
In doing that, you simply roll about on
