Love VIII Find q Way.

The young couple fastened into the
Union station. 1t was very patent that
they were not married. They were al
together too chummy for that. They
went out onto the platform and stood
and talked for minute, when he took
her in his arms and kissed her fondly
and again hurried away toward a train.
What do you think OF that?" in
quired one Of the attaches Of the sta
ton.
"That looks all right. Why?"
"They do that three or four times a
week. They think that everybody else
will think that he is going away on a
long journey. but he has never got on
train yet. He simply walks around
back OF the train and disappears. He
gets his kiss all right, though"

poor had lost a friend, and they Would
not soon forget him. In the long days
Of the distant winter they would think
of him over and over. Every one In
that ward was poor, though the re-
formers, condescending that way
whenever Jimmy was up for re-elec-
ton, somehow never grasped the real
significance of the fact. And 1t was
a somber Monday around the city
hall. Jimmy had been man with a
genius for friendship. The gang
mourned him In q sadness that had
added to it the remorse Of a recent
sobriety, but their grief, genuine as 1t
was, had in It an evil bitterness their
hearts would not have owned, They
were FESTIVE and troubled. Whenever
they got together In little groups. they
read CONSERVATION In one another's
faces; and now and then they cursed
the caution they had extolled on Sat
urday night. Besides these varied eff
fects, Jimmy's death, while 1t could
not create q crisis in the market,
nevertheless gave rise to nervous
feelings in certain segments OF nnan-
ciai circles. 1t was Inevitable that
financial and political circles should
overlap and intersect each other in
this matter, and there were confer
ences which seemed to reflect a sense
OF personal resentment att Jimmy for
having been murdered SO ihopportune-

Socrates and Beauty.

All visitors to the museums OF
Rome become familiar with the buets
Of Socrates. Whe does not recognize
at first glance the almost comic face
with Its turn-np nose and utter abb
sence of the slightest claim to good
looks7 We cannot help smiling at 1t
and yet when4 we think of the man,
the ugliness of his face becomes pa
thetic. He worshiped beauty. his life
was devoted to teaching how life could
be made harmonious in every way and
such a nose must, In spite of his phiio-
sophy, have been q constant trial to
him. His prayer was: Grant me to
be beautiful in the inner man and all
I have of outward things to be at
peace with those within. May count
the wise man only richs and may my
store OF gold be such as none but the
good can bear
He counted material wealth without
wealth OF spirit ngScSery and to have
outward beauty without inward beauty
was to be an imposter. All the same.
to have ones inward beauty so denied
by ones face must have been very an.
noying and our smile at Socrates may
well be mixed with little sympathy.

T6 THE ADVANCEMENT OF ART
Economic Inquiry, Conducted Along
Scientific LInes. Means Much 10
the Human Race.

Notwithstanding the growth in re-
cent years OF the work Of the geologi-
cal survey along practical economic
lines, scientific work has not been
neglected, according to the annual re-
port OF the director for last year. In
fact, In the survey the scientific inves-
legations are inseparable from the
economic work, though the one or the
other may predominant in purpose &C
cordihg to the needs Of the particular
research In hand. In any field econo-
mic work OF the highest rank Is i'm
possible without full knowledge of the
scientific laws and principles pertain
ing to the subject of the work, but as
there IL no application Of geology
which does not involve unaolved prob
lens, Bome of them of the highest Inn
portance, the best knowledge available
ID nevertheless relative. 1t thus fol-
lows that the broad and searching
observations which should accompany
every piece Of good economic work
comprehend data that are eventually
combined In the construction Of new
scientific hypothesis, some of which.
as more observations accumulate,
grow into established laws or princi-
pies that are in turn Of the greatest
practical consequence. Thus the de-
tailed studies of the metalliferous de-
posits in one region or another bring
to light evidence from which to deter

renee, and the economic inquiry be-

left to face life alone. She could not
adjust herself to the change, and fear
and despair added their blackneas to
her grief. Father Dangherty knew
how great a blow Jimmy's death
would be TO her, and, though he gave
what comfort he could, he left her
grief to time. He did not belong to
the preaching orders. But, as he pom
dered In his wise old head, he shrewd-
" guessed that the careless Jimmy
would hardly have made provision
against anything 30 far from his
thoughts as death, and he perceived
that II Annie were ito be protected
from a future with which she. alone
and unaided, would hardly have the
capacity to deal. some one must act.
Long ago might Father Daugherty
have celebrated his silver 1ubileb as
pastor Of st, Patrick's, but he was not
the man for celebrations. The parish
was one big family to him, and he
knew the joys and sorrows. the little
hopes and pathetic ambitions of every
one In 1t. The sorrows of his chill
dren he bore In his own heart; they
had wrought their complex and tragic
tale in his face. The joys he left
them to taste alone; but he found too
much sorrow to have time for joy.
During all those years he had given
himself unsparingiy; II 1t was all he
had to give, It was the most precious
thing he could have giyen-a daily
sacrifice that exhausted a tempera-
ment keenly sensitive and sympa-
thetic. So he had grown old and
white before his time. Many man
had he kept straight when times were
hard and the right to work denied
him. many a widow had he saved
from the wiles Of the claim-agent The
corporations and the lawyers hated
him.
