to go to sleep. l lay awake for hours
thinking of the speaker and his speech.
And finally l was possessed by the
thought that I must see him again

to me that he was going to take the
six o'clock train in the morning for
Providence, where he was to speak
in the evening, and 1 determined to
meet him at the station.
Il got up at once and dressed,
hitched up my old gray horse, and in
the early morning drove down to the
railroad station. 1t was dark, gloomy
morning, with a mist rising from the
river. Alone, I paced the station plat
form for about half an hour, and then,
through the gloom and the mist, 1
saw him come around the corner into
the alley which led to the station. His
tall, gaunt form doomed up grotesque-
ly in the mist. He was unattended,
and he swung a carpet bag in his
hand as he took giant strides towards
the station.

story and you'll scarcely notice that a
storm has struck when it does come.
Whenever my students signify
their intention of taking a trip abroad
| never fail to give them my scheme
for dispelling danger of seasickness.
And they have reported to me upon
their return that the method was sue
cessful. Perhaps if they did not apply
themselves in their reading-did not
become sufficiently interested, l mean
they were seized with the illness,
but those who really interested them
selves in their books crossed the ocean
and were in tiptop physical condition
the whole way over"
The professors unique views have
caused considerable comment among
his fellow educators at the university,
many of whom make it practice to
go to Europe or some other trans
oceanic point every two years. Some
have taken the suggestion as a joke
its exponent declares, and others have
taken it seriously. In most cases the
ones who take it as It is given-in all
seriousness-are the ones who are not
taken with seasickness, while those
who think it is a joke are kept in their
cabins for three or four days
Certain advanced classes of students
at the university, especially classes in
the divinity school, make pilgrimages
in a body to the holy land On the
eve of their departure this professor
never misses an opportunity to impart
to them his discovery.

TO Prevent SeaSickneSs Read
Exciting Story.
University of Chicago Professor Saves
Particularly Engrossing Detective
Narrative Until Big Storm
Is Threatened.

Chicago literature as a
preventative of seasickness is advo-
Gated by a University of Chicago pro-
fessor, who declares that his own per-
sonal experience upon the rolling seas
has been such as to demonstrate the
practicability of his plan. In ordinary
weather aboard ship in midocean the
professor reads a sentimental story.
If the waves are tossing high and the
wind is blowing hard he fastens his
attention to a tale of exciting adven-
ture or deep mystery. He boldly
makes the assertion that his scheme
has never failed to ward off impending
seasickness and adds that, while his
travelling companions are in the throes
of distress, he sits engrossed in his
reading, unmindful of the rise and
fall of the vessel.
81 gauge the intensity of the story l
read by the roughness of the seas and
the height of the waves" the profess
sor laughed. Eyes, know it is a
unique cure for seasickness, but in my
case and in. the case of another pro-
fessor here at the university to whom
| preached the strange doctrine it has
been uniformly successful. 1 have

ness.

tive than the old-fashioned grand
mothers ha& in goose grease as a-pana-
cea for children ills. If the waves
sweep over the vessels bow aft to the
stern I'll wager that / will still be
reading in my cabin, as devoid of sea
sickness as an electric light bulb is of
air"
How do you explain your unique
method of EHevention?" he was asked.

Much Gambling Carried on by
Poorest of Children.
Boys Deprive Themselves of Neces-
stiles of Life to Place Wagers on
Horse Races - Youngsters
Pass Coppers to Tout.

Tondon.-T. H. Manners Howe con-
tributes an article to the Graphic
which he heads "Demoralized Boy
Workers" and which contains pain
full account of the gambling that goes
on among the poorest of the children
of this city. It is a subject that pre-
viously has been little investigated
and Mr.. Howe's article has created
an unpleasant sensation.
Mr.. Howe describes how a friend OF
his, the manager Of large London
warehouse, found one of the boys en-
ploved in it in a dead faint. He made
an investigation, and found that the
boy was earning less than two dollars
a week. He lived with his parents,
who took the greater part of his earn
ings, and allowed him SO cents a week
for his car fare and midday meals.
Instead of spending the So cents for
these purposes, however, the boy
walked to and from the Office, ate
nothing away from home, and spent
every penny he obtained in backing
horses and in repaying the gutter
usurer" to whom he had been driven
when he got into debt.
This boy, says Mr.. Howe, was only
a type of numerous others self
starved, worried young weaklings,
with lives necessarily exposed to the
persistent attacks of those evil
geniuses of the street, the penny
bookie and petty usurer Of the gut
ter" Mr.. Howe goes on to say: 81
have studied this question of juvenile
betting for some years, and have seen
the evil Of it working among the lads
1t has become such profitable bust
ness that there are bookies who de-
vote themselves to 1t exclusively. The
transactions are entirely in coppers,
and a boy is allowed to have bet in
