HE'S THE ORIGINAL CROUCH
Surely Would Be Hard to Please Old
Gentleman With This Kind Of
Disposition.

, There is in Washington an old
crouch" whose son was graduated
from Yale. When the young man
came home at the end of the first
term, he exulted In the fact that he
stood next to the head Of his class.
But the old gentleman was not salts
fed.
Next to the head!" he exclaimed.
What do you mean? I'd like to know
what you think I'm sending you to
college for? Next to the head! Why
aren't you at the head. where you
ought to be?"
At this the son was much crestfal-
len; but upon his return. he went
about his work with such ambition
that at the end of the term he found
himself in the coveted place. When
he went home that year he felt very
proud. 1t would be great news for
the old man.
When the announcement was made,
the father contemplated his son for a
few minutes In silence; then, with q
shrug, he remarked:
