that, he was likely to lose his hold and fall
at any moment.

enough to reach him. and as the tree would
not hold the additional weight of another
boy, his situation. while ridiculous was also
extremely dangerous and thrilling
Sailor Jack, however, came to the rescue
by ordering two or three short ladders, or

Upward Trend and Bottom Stop OF a
Brainy Youth.

Upward Trend and Bottom Stop of a
Brainy Youth.
Norbert Postlethwaite was wonder
full boy. When but eleven months old
he could repeat the alphabet clear
through from either end of 1t and at
six years old had memorized the Dec.
laration of Independence. At the un-
timely age of fourteen he was fitted
for college in mathematics. philosophy,
ancient and modern languages and the
sciences, and In less than three years
after entering he completed the regu-
lar four years. course and received the
age of seventeen.
Thus this brainy youth proceeded up
the hill of learning until. when he was
twenty-one years old, he was truly an
appalling example. He was as famil-
lar with the late Aristotle, Plato, De-
mosthenes and all such as you and
are with William J. Bryan, and had

wished to pick fight.
But. although thus armed. equipped
and overloaded. he found when he
went forth to battle with the world
that some one had stolen the ladder to
success and that his neck was too
thin to permit him to hold job as a

was nothing daunted. however, but

Presently. however. untoward fate
