SOLVING THE DIFFICULTY
The Yale freshman year was prov
ing very expensive to father, so father
decided to have "heart-to-heart"
talk with Johnny, home for the week.
NOW, son." said he, gravely, but al
fectionately, ''your mother and | are
spending just as little as we possibly
can. get up in the morning at half
past and work until after 5. But,
son, the money just won't go round at
the rate your expenses are running.
Now, | ask you, as one man to anoth-
err, what do you think we had better
do?"
For moment Johnnv's head was
buried in thought-and then he re-

SOME ONE WAS WRONG
Not long ago a political speaker, in
the course of an address in western
city, happened in a rather oratorical
tone to refer TO Samson S staying of the
Philistines. TO his surprise man in
the audience leaped TO his feet with a
contradiction.
You're wrong, Mr.. Speaker" the
man loudly declared
Fora moment the politician was at a
loss. "What do you mean?" at last he
inquired

guess coming" confidently answered
the intruder. sit wasn't Sampson who
licked the Philistines; it was Dewey"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Book worm, City: Question-Can
you tell me who is the author of SON
net the first line of which reads like
this: There is silence where hath
been no sound;" and would ask you to
print it if you can find space for it in
your column and also brief notice of
the author?
Answer-The sonnet is by Thomas
Hood, journalist and poet, born in Lon
don, 1899, where he died in 1915. He
studied engraving, but that profession
disagreeing with his health, he turned
his attention TO literature. He was
sub.editor of the London Magazine and
his early work comprised examples of
nearly all the styles of imposition in
which he afterward excelled He
wrote many exquisite songs and ballads
The Song of the Shirt" and "The
Bridge of Signs" are everywhere ia
miliar. He edited the New Monthly
Magazine and afterward founded
Hoods Magazine. His distinguishing
trait was the faculty of blending mirth
and pathos in his poetry as in his life,
his own experience being struggle
against poverty and i'll health, which
he maintained with cheerful fortitude.

SILENCE
There is silence where hath been no
sound;
There is d silence where no sound may
In the cold grave-under the deep,
deep sea,
Or in wide desert where no life is
found,
Which had been mute, and still must
sleep profound;
No voice is hushed-no life treads sill
emily
But clouds and cloudy shadows wander
free,
That never spoke, over the idle ground
But in green ruins, in the desolate
walls
OF antique palaces, where Man hath
been,
Though the dun fox or wild hyena,
calls,
And souls that fit continually between
Shrek to the echo and the low winds
moan,
There the true silence is, self-conscious
and alone.
