went down to the cavernous entrance
to bid George good night. They were
both dihident and shy, now that the
great problem was solved. George was
puzzled as to what to do In bidding
her good night, and Fortune wondered

She gave hers freely. He looked
into her marvellous eyes for a mo-
ment. Then he turned the palm up
ward and kissed 1t, lightly and lover
ly; and she drew 1t across his face,
over his eyes, till 1t left in departing
a caress upon his forehead. He stood
up, breathing quickly, but not more so
than she. A little tableau. Then he
jammed his battered fedora upon his
head and strobe up the Corso. He
dared not turn. Had he done so, he
must have gone back and taken her in
his arms. She followed him with
brave eyes; she saw him suddenly
veer acros the street and pause at the
parapet. 1t was then that she be-
came conscious Of the keenness Of
the night-wind. She went in. Some
how, all earth's puzzles had that night
been solved.
George lighted a cigar, doubtless
the most costly weed to be found in
all Naples that night. The intermit-
tent glowing of the end family out

He flung the half-fnished cigar into

or that In falling 1t might set Naples
on fire. 1t struck a roof somewhere
below; a splutter OF sparks, and al
was dark again.

THE BOY AND LEARNING.

Editor The Georgian:
Your editorial. The College
Man" is a most timely article,
and hits the nail on the head. The
parent that has had to hustle
from early youth out in the world
taking and giving hard knocks
that make men, seems to think
in many cases that his son should
be saved that which made a man
of him and is essential to making
a man of his boy. Hence the boy
is sent to school for the best part
of his life, when his mind is ca
pable Of absorbing things that
are worth while and things that
are not taught in books at all.
The son is thus put far away
from the real activities Of life and
when he has a diploma, a frat pin
and a college yell he feels that
the world Is at his feet. When
he awakes, if he ever does. he
finds that there are very few of
the problems Of daily life that
can be solved by algebra. and
that Greek roots and Latin claS-
sizes play little part in the earning
of daily bread. The fact that the
great work of the world is done
by hands and not by brain power
seems to be the last thing taught
in schools. Until boys are taught
that manual labor is the highest
class of work, that work with
the hands, directed by the brain.
brings in the highest wage; that
no kind Of physical toll is dis
honorable, and that true educa-
ton is the fitting Of the body and
mind to the carrying on Of some
specific physical work, in which
the muscles of the body play the
most important part. until this is
done education as given to-day is
at fault All education that tends
to take the mind and body of "A
boy from nature and natural life
is wrong.
A boy. coming out Of a college
with a diploma. may think he is

inherited from papa, and who had
never made a dollar OF his own.
The best luck that can ever fall
to a woman is to marry an ener-
getic, capable young fellow and
help him make his fortune, but
the worst fate that ever befalls
a girl is to be tied to a shiftless
ne'er-do- well, who fails at every
thing he tries to do.
Therefore, before I married a
man I'd make it my business to
find out whether he had strength
enough to stand on his own feet,
or whether he would be one of
those clinging-vine men that
somebody else has to support all
Of his days. I'd know, for one
thing. that | should be hungry
and need clothes after marriage
just as much as l did before, and
also shat [ shouldn't have much
respect for a husband who wasn't
man enough to hold his place
among other men.
Then I should positively refuse
to marry any man who wasn't
suffragist, and who didn't believe
that women had a right to have
a half of the pleasures and per
ft.e# = ! Il
know that the man who thought
that women in general We're only
fit 10 be classed with criminals,
idiots and the insane would make
the sort of a husband who derides
his wife's opinions, refuses to give
her an allowance, and who re-
CARDS her as an upper servant to
minister to his lordiy self

Science Teaches Acct
dents and Fatigue To
Be Closely Related.

This carelessness may in count.
less cases be traced to the door of
the hustler.
The scientific men have decided
that there is a close relationship
between fatigue and accidents. In
vestigation of the cause and con-
ditions leading to accidents has
given an interesting number Of
statistics to prove that as work
man grows more fatigued he be-
comes more liable to meet with &C
cidents and to produce them.
This is the scientific argument
for shorter hours for man and
beast.
The investigators found that in
each succeeding hour of the first
half of the days work accidents be-
come more numerous, while after
the midday rest during the first
hours of the afternoon they were
fewer. Then later in the afternoon
the number of accidents increased
until toward the end of the second
half of the day the proportion was
larger than for the latter half Of
the morning hours.
Therefore the scientists argue
that a short rest spell in the mid
die Of the afternoon would tend to
decrease the number of accidents.

IF you are an American you prob
ably have great respect for that
American word, hustle. If
you employ help, no doubt you use
that expression, Get a hustle on,
which has been dignified by CLASH

Getting a hustle on" is sup
posed to be the first long stride to-
ward any success in life. 1t is an
excellent thing, indeed, to feel i'm
PEELED to put all your powers into
immediate action.
Every human being is a reser-
voir of the energy which is back
of all creation. The more fully he
realizes that fact and the more
earnestly he puts that energy into
action the more positive and imme-
diate are the results.
There is such thing, however,
as everlasting, The continual
hustler who never rests and
never allows any one about him to
rest at times defeats his own ends.
He breaks down with the nervous
strain of his own hurry and causes
others to break down
Aside from these direct disasters
he is the indirect cause of innum-
cradle accidents and misfOrtunes.
which he attributes to ill luck
or "carelessness" of others.
