hard winter and forget faster in the spring than
he did in the fall. Some men have the faculty OF
detaching their mind and allow it to board around
for several days while others get along without
and make noise like vacuum cleaner. The alb
senminded man is great trial in the home. He
is always forgetting whether his wife wanted sachet
powder nutmegs and usually compromises by
ordering curtain poles. He is liable to go down
cellar and forget what he went after until the fur
mace fire goes out. Some men are so absent-mnded
that they will stand up at the bar and drink all the

it is their treat. Others forgetfu that they

possess either. Many watches had he

and often he had exchanged the ticket

VIII erever fortune had gone against
him heavily at cards, there he might
find his latest watch. Besides getting
a new timepiece, he was strongly in

fortune in the hotel safe. One never

And another good idea. he unused, as
he swung the time-piece into his vest

precept among the sporting fra

precious stones and gold watches con-

There's runner things than women in the world though, mind ou.'-The Pickwick Papers.

Such as perhaps the man who calls women gossips- and spends half his time at the clb saoon telling saa cous stories about his friends. 9a5 @a
 Or the who goes to church on Sunday-and col iects rents on Monday from low resort.
 Or the who says any woman can influence half dozen votes she chooses to her uenceand denies her the right to one
 Or the who says sentmentallly that the hand that rocks the carde is the hand that rocks the world and refuses to allow that hand to write check for itself.
 Or the who demands all the virtues for his daugh tersad merely shakes his head at his and says, ' Boys will be boys
 Or the man who says mothers to blame for the nisdeeds of the childrenand spends half his time in setting the training of those same children,

 Or the who punishes his son for smoking cigar cite behind the barn-and shoves box of fine HaVanas at the chance caller.

PRESIDENT HADLEY IS
 AGAINST SPECIALIZATION
Yale Head Advises That Student.
 Should Not Specialize Too Much,

President Hadley in an interview for the Yale News regarding his advice oR the selection of courses by the stu dents for the coming year comes out against too much specialization for the men in the academic department. If man is not pressed for time or money he says he should not special ize too much. ''The ideal college subjects he is not going to use in after life. but methods which he is going to use." He also says:
 Varied as are the individual stu dents in their characters and in their ambitions, they fall, with few excep- fined groups, according as they are interested in facts.- in ideas. or in af- fairs. The boy who is interested in facts is the one who has what is known as the scientific type of mind. It is from such boys that we recruit glneers, our manufacturers, our tech nologists, our skilled operatives in the various departments of production and commerce. The boy who is interest ed in ideas belongs to what we call the, literary type. It is from such boys that we develop our journalists, our preachers, our teachers, or our 3.
 '"The boy who is interested in affairs belongs to what we call the adminis- trative type. It is among such boys that we find our successful mer- chants, financiers, legal advisers, or constructive statesmen. If we can find out to which Of these types a boy belongs, we can give him and those like him an education which will stimulate his interest on the broadest possible lines, and prepare him, not for some single profession which may ultimately prove out of his reach, but for any and all of that group of professions for which he is naturally fitted.
 eff we select courses of study thor oughly adapted to the individual tenn perament and power, sbut designed to enlarge the mental horizon instead of narrowing it, we shall prepare the pupil for his life work as we'll as the elective system did or better, but shall emphasize in his mind the interests that lie outside of that life work, and make him feel that his professional service is not an end in itself or means of selfish advancement, but part of a large intellectual life and means of service to the public."

Past. Great Incohonee George E. Green of Binghampton, N. Y., was the principal speaker last night before Konckapotanauh tribe, I. O. R. M.. at it's celebration of it's 17th anniver- sary. About 100 members of the tribe, with a few from other tribes and a number of t'palefacesp attended the gathering.
 One of the features Of Incohonee Greens speech was his earnest plea for an increased assessment for the care of orphans and when he asked an expression upon this subject, ev- erS member present jumped to his feet
 Judge Carl Foster. the present great serior sagamore of the United States made an extremely interesting ad- dress. outlining the work and ac. co adjustments of the tribe and some of it's future possibilities. Past Sachem H. H. Jackson presided as chairman and made an excellent one, introducing each speaker very appro- priately and enlivening the occasion with witty stories, directed to the point.

men have shown us the way. Let me give you as an illustration the control of one man. For five years he denied
 that he had any interest in a certain
 large road. But there came time
 when holding company in which he
 was interested had secured 15 per cenr
 of the stock of that road. and this 15'
 per cent was the largest single minori-
 ty holding. The man in question held
 in his own name less than 10 per cent
 of the stock of the holding company.
 hut it was to the interest of every
 member that he nominate his own di-
 rectors and control the destiny of the
 company. Through this control. there
 fore, he virtually possessed personally
 that 15 ser cent. of the stock of the
 he sent in his own name an appeal to
 the scattered stockholders for proxies. and through his personal prestige he
 came into the stockholders meeting
 of the big road voting 60 per cent of
 the stock and put through his own
 slate of directors and officers. Then.
 through similar means and through
 this one road, he controlled all it's branches and dependents. aggregatihg many thousands of miles. and all de- spite the fact that he himself actually
 held not per cent of the value of all this stOcki'

 posite the name of each road was set its total number of outstanding stocks and bonds.
 "You are the only man in the world today who is able to bring practically endless resources to the support of
 any project" he continued, "For in
 stance. with an actual holding of less
 than 1 per cent of the total stock of all the railroad corporations in the United States. you are able to domi- nate every mile of iron highway. to I depose or elevate any man in the rail- road business, from brakeman to pres fdent-that Is. after you have taken 1 the reins.

 management, they can be made prac-
