ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
Short Essay Evidently Written by One
Familiar with This Species Of
Animal.

A philosopher Is a man. and rarely
woman. who. having nothing to do
and being glad OF II. puts In his tlmo
explaining the reason that other PEG.
pie should have for doing things.
Philosophers are no popular be-
cause, In the first place. most men are
too busy to listen TO them. and In
the second place. they are satisfied
with their own reason for doing
things.
Nevertheless. philosophers are wont
to gravltate toward comfortable stoves
In corner groceries. where men OF
varying lcisurcs stragglo In and to-
wards comfortable chairs In universal
tics whore helpless youth are com
ncllod to listen as a part Of an awful
punishment called a curriculum.
Whenever a philosopher becomes "a

not philosopher at all. but sclont'

give information, because nothing less
than explaining the unknowable will
satisfy them. One philosopher Will
never agree with another philosopher
