LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Con.
WINGED That the Younsster Was
Competent to Give It.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to, for 1t
was getting late. He rather suspect.
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, so he wendell his steps In
that direction. He soon came across
the young people, and found them In
a most interesting attitude. The
young man hEi the fair girl clasped
In both his arms, and was kissing her
as II he hadn't tasted such dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work-and then made his presence
known.
Isn't 1t very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
ut Isis rather pa" faltered the
fair GIRL "but-but Mr.. Popple has
been giv-giving me a lesson in as
astronomy"
my stars" calculated the old gen.
tleman. He has, and no mistake! /
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked 80
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out of sheer compassion.

Wisdom Worth Needing.

What is true OF men can be true
of women. The realm of achieve
ment is sexless The brain is not at
its best until you are forty or past.
A bishop In play cried: "Oh, that
we were born old and could die
young!" You are fulfilling IT. business
the bishops wish. He longee to start
the race with experience, That is
what you can do, may do, must do. Start
the real race. Count fourteen years
a the first half, as the learning time.
as the warming up time. Begin again.
Get your second wind No man Is
whipped until he takes the count. No

Odd Greek Superstition.

The belief, illustrated in .he ballad
Of The Bridge of Arta, that human
victim is required to insure the sta.
bility Of a bridge or building survives
in Greece today, ]. A. Lawson says.
There is no murder now. 1t suffices
to obtain, preferably from an enemy
or an old person. hair nail pairing,
shred Of clothing, old shoe or a thread
or stick marked with the persons
height or footprint measure, and bury
these beneath the foundation stone,
The victim dies within a year, but
the building is safe.
Even a shadow will do. Mr.. Law
son was himself dragged back by a
friend In Santorini so that his shadow
might not fall across such a fatal
spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told
him that his four predecessors had
all died from letting their shadows
fall on foundation stones laid by
them.

CHILDREN ARE REAL. POETS
Descriptions Of Ordinary Things Show
Imaginative Fancy That Does
Not Survive the Years.

Children are born with a taste for
knowledge. They want to know, and
they want to know the right things
They ask questions. and are not easily
satisfied They are fond of initiating
what they see around them. They are
highly imaginative. They clothe their
ideas In concrete forms. There was
time when they were regarded as I'M
mature adults; we have learned that
the main aim Of teacher must be to
give the right tone to the feelings
goodness in the abstract is of little
avail: the Imagination must be stirred.
We are accustomed TO believe that
there is little reflection on the part OF
children and yet one cannot but see
now and again CLEANS of thought
which suggest hidden mental power
working almost unconsciously. The
little girl who gathered sunlight In
her hands and put it on her face"
knew something of the effects Of heat.
And how full of humor are some Of
the sayings Of children. 1t was Punch,
we believe. who depicted Tommy, aft
er he had been severely corrected,
as exclaiming: 81 fink I'll go back to
heaven, where I came from" And
what a fund of suggestion was con.
veyed by the little girl who, on hear
ing running tap. said that "the Wa.
ter was coughing"
The poetry of life is frequently seen
in childhood. We have this illustrated
In the description of butterflies as
"pansies flying" "A star Is a cinder
from Gods great star" has a wealth
of unconscious meaning. But per
haps the finest approach to poetry
was made by tiny tot who defined
dew as "the grass crying" Oh,
auntie!" said the little girl. I've just
seen pencil walking" The nurse
who had grown out of fairyland, ex'
planned that 1t was only an ordinary
worm.

The president of the United States
has nothing whatever TO do with the
making of the laws of the individual
states or of the United States. He is
purely and simply the national execu-
tive, his business being to carry out
the laws that are made By the con.
gress. In order to be able to make
laws the president would need to be
an absolute monarch, like the car OF
Russia or the Sultan OF Turkey. AS
It is, he is simply the head servant Of
the people. with his duties clearly laid
down in the constitution, and from
which he cannot deviate. Instead Of
making the laws the laws are made
by the legislative servants II the PEG
ME for him to execute.

Prnfitable Fine.

An amusing story is quoted by a
Rand paper 1t happened the ether
day that a British subject Of Benoni,
who speaks Dutch only, was arraigned
for not taking out dog license. JUS
tice insists that an interpreter shall
interpret, II required. The accuser
said Yah" and a young man stepped
from the body of the court, offered
his services and was duly sworn, The
accused was fined S., the interpreters
fee was U.s. Cd, so the municipality lost
rs. Cd. over the transaction, 1t turned
out afterward that the interpreter

Human Fellowship.

In trying to find a basis Of uniyer'
sal fellowship. what is the first cen
sideration? Not money. That is not
a basis for fellowship. OF course,
there are exceptional circumstances
when money may pay for travel and
culture and so aid in the formation
of character. But money Is
not a guaranty OF either culture or
hospitality. It is the work we do In
the world. not the money we have,
that qualities us for fellowship Every
known being must do his work we'll
in the world whether 1t is paid for or
not. in order to .ualify for the Fellow
chip of the common life.-Twentieth

Enulish "Soclety."

There are three classes OF society
In England-the aristocrats, who are
barbarians; the middle class, who are
philistines, and the dregs of society,"
who are nothing at all, 1t is q funny
thing that the late King Edward, who
had all the Vices of the aristocrats
was beloved by the middle class, and
that his son, King George. who has
all the virtues Of the middle class, is
despised by the aristocrats He and
the queen are always spoken Of as

One Can Write In the Dark.

A novelty is a penholder permitting
one to write in the dark. since 1t Is
provided with an electric light. The
tube through which the point Of the
pencil goes is fitted with small &C.

latter throws a disk Of light over the
point where the writing is being done.
