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

There IL 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 a
shrug, he remarked:
"At the head of the class, Ell? Well,
that's fine commentary on Yale uni
versity! "--Lippincott's Magazine.

If there is any warrant in sound sense

been publicly discussed.
The only future for the aeroplane
is one in which the prophet who
POUNDS On fact and not on fancy can

never be able to transfer all traffic

He HAD THEM IN A CORNER
Ciergyman's Rebuke to ThouehtIess
Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcertirg.

A wellknown clergyman was one
day in BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did not
recognize the man in the chair, with
lather all over his face. They pro-
ceeded to spend the time by telling
stories and using expressions which,
to say the least, were rather strong.
When the barber pulled away the
towel the clergyman, clearly shaved.
stood before them. So nonplussed
were they that no one tried to take
the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times-"Next gentle
man! Next gentleman
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimfy as he said:
1T isn't bit of use, John. There's
not man here who has the effront-
cry to answer to that name"
