off the steam, put on the air brakes.

own length, but not until the locomotive
had added its weight to the weakened

all. king George has joined the
ranks of moving picture enthusiasts,

of amusement for over year at Pots

WHY READ FICTION

When Professor William Patten of
Dartmouth College made the claim of
having discovered the missing link
between the vertebrae and the in
vertebraetes in a mysterious marine
animal which lived in ages prehis-
toric he contributed to science.
Few of us being scientists, our in
terest in his discovery was not high
Iy stimulated. Being mere dilletanti.
we are told the doors leading to the
joys of real knowledge are closed to
US.
If in the days however, when our
juvenile minds sought recreation in
helping the author of the so-called
yellow back" solve the mysteries of
his plot, we as a class who are not
scientists today, had by some good
fortune read stories of the life mys-
terie, probably we too might be con-
tributing to the store of science to-
day.
In retrospection, we are sure, we
would just as willingly have followed
Professor Patten to the shores of the
Bay de Chaleur in Canada, as sneaked
talong on the trail of Jack Cummings
the Outlaw"
| In looking for the myterious ma
rine animal ostracoderm he came up
on a wonderful deposit in the
Devonian rocks on the shores of The

OF SUCH IS LIFE.

We of the multitude are matter-of- |
fact We live in common place con-
Germs and interests. Our problems
are, how to get more plentiful and
better food and drink, more comfort
able and beautiful clothing, more
commodious dwellings for ourselves
and families. When we seek relaxa
ton from our labors for material
things we gossip of the daily happen
ings, play games, dance, go to the
theater, the club or public place. We
travel or we read story books, or ac-
counts in the newspapers of elections,
murders, speculations, marriages, di-
vorces, failure and success; or we
simply sit in kind of lethargy and
wonder
While such is our life it is not
possible that we should take interest
or find pleasure in religion, poetry,
philosophy or art. To ask us to read
books whose life-breath is pure
thought and beauty is though one
asked US to read something written
in a language that we do not well
understand A taste for the best
books, as taste for whatever is best
| is acquired, and it can be acquired
only by study and practice. 1t is a
result of a free and disinterested self
/ activity, of efforts to attain what
rarely brings other rewards than the
conscientiousness of having lived and
striven for the best. But we have
little appreciation of what does not
fiatter or soothe the senses.
Our world like the world of Chi,
Idren and animals, is good enough fol
lus; meat and drink, dance and song
are worth more in our eyes than al
the thoughts of all literature. A love
tale is better than a great poem, ant
the story of a bandit makes Plutarci
tiresome
So mark well the man who differ
from the multitude, who has soul
consuming ambition to write some
thing for the betterment of mankind
who shuns sex in literature an,
: the cheap in life. He may not be
, great man judged by worldly meas
ures but his friendship is worth cult
waiting.
