WITH THE MYSTIC ON

BY GEORGE MUNSON.

She was not his Molly. John Beatty
realized that as, attired in a stiff shirt.
which gave him a sensation Of inn
pending asphyxia, and suit of eve
ming clothes, which made him feel
like a waiter, he stood moodily be-
side the door and watched his tiancee
moving among her guests.
He had returned from the west af-
ter three years absence. He had
gone to make his fortune In the
mines, and Molly had said she would
be true to him. He had made the for
tune and Molly had been true, but
Well, this was not the simple,
pretty country girl whom he had left
three years before.
There was incense in the air, and
Beatty liked the incense of whole
some oxygen. There were three poets
present. John did not mind poets,
but these had long, greasy hair and
ditry tinger-nails. And he positively
loathed the black man in the turban,
who was holding forth rapt audi
ence-Molly included-upon the
mysteries or YOga.
ITO attain the infinite?" he was say
ing with a supercilious smile. 1T is

The problem is intensified by the
fact that by state law religion is
barred from the class rooms OF the
university.
However, religion is certainly not on
the Wane at the state university On
the contrary, it seems to have shown
marked increase and development in
recent years. This is due chiefly 10
two things, the adequate housing ahd
manning Of the student Young Mems
Christian Association and the employ
ing of several university pastors by
the different state UNCONVENTIONAL
bodies to give their attention to the
students of their denomination.

The proper way to air bed, If you
are opposed to removing the bed
clothes from the bed. Is to throw the
sheets over the footboard across a
chair placed to keep them off the
fioor, and Their lift the mattress In
the middle, fitting 1t up SO that the
air passes under and over It. One-half
hour OF this will thoroughly air the
bed, the windows to be open all the
time, OF course. In making up the
bed shake the sheets well as they are
put In place. You will then have a
tidy, fresh bed and an orderly room
soon after you are dressed. This will
help make your housekeeping easy.
