The Professor.

The Professor.
Billings ushered in the professor
with a flourishing Introduction.
The great man never spoke, but
gave me the end of one finger, and
devilish grudgingly at that. He just
came to anchor and stood there very
straight and stiff, ignoring the chairs
thrust toward him from every point.
One hand was stuck in his stiff broad
cloth bosom, with elbow pointing out
ward, and his great topheavy head
reared above us impressively.
| addressed the professor hospita-
bly,; "Ah! won't you sit down, pro-
fessor?"
He drew back, frowning. "Sit down,
sir?" he questioned And, by Jove,

Besides, somehow felt that she had
a feeling toward me as a man, an un-

at all. 1t found expression In her
suspicious. sniffy manner. Dash it,
just hated that woman from the start!
l felt 1t was bad enough, her English
clumsiness In getting the introductions

she had done 1t purposely. Could see
with half an eye that she was de-

Haven't we met before, Mr. Light

But 1t struck me that Frances

light In her lovely eyes. and / saw
that the game was to lie like gentle
man-that sort Of thing. you know.
And. by Jove. l was getting kind OF
used to 1t now, anyhow mean since

like jolly cad, too, meeting a girl
with that, when she remembered! But,
by Jove, 1t was worth sacrificing the
trump fifty times over Just to see
Frances face brighten and note her

A lady changed from her old way of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years had been
a great sufferer from Indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop OF
potatoes, then meat, and 80 on, but in
a few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start up, and would vomit
everything I ate and drank.
When started on Grape-Nuts, vom.
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was 30 distressing disappeared
entirely.
MY mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she don't think she
could do without It.
1T is great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after supper of
Grape-Nuts as In the old days when

can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."

MEN WHO die

Some time ago boxer was killed
during an oxidation; or to put it
more plainly d spFize fighter during a
fight. There was straightWay great
clanior for the suppression of prize
fighting.
Far be 1t from me to defend the
sporting gentleman who is an expert
in the art of defending himself, but
| would offer a few reflections in this
connection upon the charming incon.
sistency Of the deeply. sensitive and
highly moral public.
Prize fighting, we are told, should
be suppressed because of Its brutal
ity. It offends our niceness of sense.
Still, gentlemen go hunting In the
woods for deer, in the swamp Tor
ducks, in Africa for hippopotami, the
entomologist chases the butterfly to
pin him on a card and the bacteriolo-
gist pursues the furtiye microbe to
glue him on glass slide, also the
butcher slaughters the OK for those
beefsteaks that give force TO our
philosophy.
To be sure the prize fighter Is a
man, and q man Is the noblest work
of God But what about the miners
who are killed by hundreds every
year, the fisherman gulped down by
the Unsuitable sea and the millions of
serfs OF industrialism who are inn
bruted, MANNED and put to death
These hardly make a living, while
the prize fighter gets $1,000 a night,
more or less. But the dear public
needs its coal and sardines, canvas
back and veal, its Injuries and com
forts: which makes a difference.
Why hasn't the boxer a right to
go and get himself killed when the
notion takes him? To whom does
his life belong? Not to'Caesar, as in
the days of monarchy; then a man
who killed himself robbed the king.
But, not arguing that point, and
granting that man ought to be lock
ed up an fined who attempts suicide,
football or prize fighting, may we not
ask why, if we. won't let man die
when he wants to, do we compel him
to die when he does not want to?
Italy sends hundreds of young men
who would like to live into Tripoli to
uI0, duM rIduCc oClluS IIS yOuIH "
Morocco; all of which is very fine
and carried on with the music of
brass bands and the waving of flags.
An athlete, however, who is perfectly
willing to play with his life offends
us. =
It's a queer world! We, are for
dragging to the polls the men who
do not care to vote, while we refuse
the ballot to the suffragettes who are
painting for it.
A half dozen men lose their lives
trying TO ride flying machines, and
