An IroncIad Boston Hierarchy.

FROM GOLFERS.
Let us likewise admit the sadvantag
under which Harvard must labor. 1t re-
ceives every year a predestined quota
from the small fashionable schools which
Increasingly are becoming the property of
social sets. These boys are sent to school
not to be formed by contact with ranre-
sentatives of all levels of life. but to herd
with their own kind. They enter Harvard
with a strongly developed sense of selec-
ton and they continue steadfast in this
protective social theory. Above all Har-
yard has to deal with the intricate prob-
lens of Boston society, which has come to
unlike any other city of it's rank, exclu.
sively patronizes but one university. The
dominant social set, inheritors of Puri-
tan and scholarly traditions, is so de-
fensively organized to resist invasion that
1t has even organized, for the proper clas-
sification of its d~ebutantes, a sewing cir
Gle on the lines of the most rigorous col
!ege society. There are many exceptions,
individuals of force and catholic synpa-
thies whose names are familiar in Har-
ward history, but the great mass of rep
Harvard AVE been shielded from rude
outer contact, herded together and fol-
low blindly their well-fenced course
through Harvard and back into the fold
from which they emerged. individually
they are clean, honest, winning types of
aristocrats and their snobbishness is not
personal, or even conscious but simply an
inheritance. Allied to this ironclad HER
archy is a somewhat similar set from New
York city. The two elements amalga-
mate at fashionable boarding schools and
between them the control of the most ex-
elusive Harvard clubs is amazingly COM
plete.

Waiting to Read the Want Ads,

One of the wonders of New York
city Is the crowd that gathers around
the newspaper offices at l or 2 o'clock
In the morning, even in cold January,
to wait for the papers SO as to get first
chance at the want ads. This situation
Is briefly pictured in the American
Magazine by Theodore Dresser in a con-
tribution called The Men in the Dark"
Following is an extract:
You did not notice any one a little
Whlle ago, but now there are three or
four over there discussing the nature of
hard times and here in the shadow Of
this great arch of a door are three or
four more. And now you look and they
are coming from all directions, slipping
In and out of the shadow toward this
light, where there Is q fat. old Irish
woman tending a newsstand, or waiting
to tend 1t, for as yet there is nothing on
1t. They seem to be men of one type at
first, small and underweight and gaunt,
but you realize a little later that they
are of different ~nationalities, and that
they are not so much alike in height and
weight as you first thought. They are
all cold, though, that Is certain, and a
little impatient. They are constantly
shifting and turning and looking at
the city hall clock, where it's yellow
face displays the hour, and looking
down the street and sometimes muir
muring, but not much. There is really
very little said.
What Is all the troubIe?' you ask
some available bystander who ought to
be fairly en- rapport with the situation,
seeing that he is standing there.
Nothing he %retorts. They're wait
in for h morning papers. They're
lookin' to see which can git to the job
first
"'oh, you exclaim, a great light
breaking. So they're here to get a
good start. They wait all night. That's
pretty tough, isn't it?'

From the Philadelphia North American.
1t seems strange, when one stops to
think Of 1t, that the race always has been
."fathered' by Divinity and "mothered'
by the material earth. whereas the attri-
butes Of the human father and mother, If
appropriately applied, would reverse this
order.
For the father and the earth support,
and the mother and the Infinite Being
love, guide and comfort, albeit, in many
an instance the father loves as much as
the mother, and In many an instance the
mother does more to supper than the
father.
But these exceptions do not alter the
more general order, and the greatest
among the Hebrew prophets tells US 1t is
the voice Of the Almighty that spoke.
saying:
"As one whom his mother comforteth,
so will l comfort you"
Nowhere else In the Bible is there to be
found a more sublime and satisfying pic
ture OF the Omnipotent One than here,
where we are made to see the mother In
the finest and most frequent Of her noble
roles-that Of the comforter.
FHom the first days of babyhood on
through the years with their growth of
care and burdens, 1t is the province of
the good mother-and most mothers are
good mothers-to smooth out the wrinkles

times steep and rocky road.
with that witchery which Is to be found
only In the voice of one who speaks to
flesh OF her flesh and blood of her blood,
the voice of the mother Is like an an
swer to a call for help; the touch of her
wisdom OF her love, though it be less
reasonable than logic, opens a new door
to endeavor.

is This Perpetual Motion?

A 2o-foot wheel spanning a narrow
street in Los Angeles, CAL. is a source
of great wonder to the passers-by, as it
appears to be a solution of the ancient
problem of perpetual motion" The
wheel stands upon a frame of structural
iron, say a writer in the June Strand, and
is inclosed at the sides with a wooden sup
port, within which it slowly revolves. The
wheel itself is of light wooden construc-
ton, and has a thickness of about eight
inches. 1t has nine large spheres of met
al, which run in grooves that extend from
the axle to the rim of the wheel. AS they
approach the outer edge, their weight has
a tendency to draw down that side of the
device. The ascending side has no such
weight at the rim, as, by an ingenious
curvature of the grooves, the balls run
toward the center. Thus there will al
ways be a greater weight on one side of
the wheel than on the other, and it keeps
revolving indefinitely. That this is not a
purely scientific affair is indicated by the
advertisements painted on the structure,
for the inventor has an eye to business.
Thousands of people Examined the device
u TO discover some outside power
which kept the wheel in motion; but, al
though the framework is built so that one
can see every part of it, no machinery
can be detected.

Joke on tn. Doctor.

The physicians in Mankato had
agreed that during their Chautauqua
assembly they would employ a call
boy, and each was to pay his share
of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as 1t was en-
~7barrassing to him and looked as II
they We're doing it to advertise with
out expense. So 1t all went well until
the afternoon when Strickland w. Gill
Hand spoke. As he was talking away
e certain doctor had a call from the
platform, and he walked out rather
sostentatiously. Some Of the people
who knew Of the arrangement laughed
'or %snickered, and the speaker got it.
He said: Don't laugh, folks. That is
the way my brother got his start"

and among other things were shown
what was called a Happy Family"
that is to say, in one and the same

Tiger, somewhat the worse for wear,
'and a half-famished wolf. Beside
these wild animals, curled up in one
corner, was a diminutive lamb which
shiyered as it slumbered.
How long have the animals lived

$4,000 from his hackers and about $3,-

about $4,000 more. so his net return
was small.

The woman set to do a mans bust

gives 1t the same exclusive passionate

and chang 1t is hers, a personal thing
to which she clings as If it were a liy-

reason why working with women in
the development of great undertakings
is as difficult as cooperating with
them in the rearing of a family. It is
also a reason why they rarely rise to
