New England. with all its water

and its mill windows shining through

with programs OF manual and tech
nical education Edmund Burke long
ago discovered and proclaimed in the
British parliament the fierce ambition
OF every northern colonist to re his
own lawyer; and the forefathers
stood in greater fear OF having an
illiterate ministry than OF hearing the
Indian warwhoops from the surround

extension work in Massachusetts finds
the people still in love with book
learning as compared with the grim
utilities. The popularity OF the Low

DRY of those who hold that the day or
the "lyceum lecture" Is gone, TO return

Vocational training seems to be hav-

Beacon Hill TO Pittsfeld, from Prov

body wants to be litterateur, and
seeks TO break into the Goldfish aris-
tocracy of bellies lettres whose capital
is Beantown. Though interest is still
maintained in the applied science OF
baseball, the philosophers and theo-
logians still outnumber the pinch-hit-

Threw Away Hard-Earned Gold.

The men who love gold and hunt it
are never misers. 1t is the beauty
q. y romance OF 1t that lures them.
And this is proved by the facts OF '49.
For there never has been more hard
work done by an equal number OF men
than was done In California between
1S49 and 1853. If they had given half
the amount of skill, thought, ingenuity
and elbow grease to work In the cities
of the East they would have produced
more gold than ever they got in Cali
fornia. And when they got the gold
they squandered It; they made bullets
OF 1t and more than one died with a
golden bullet in his heart. But most
OF them probably thought it was fine

Got Some Satisfaction.

Dark, dark was the night; but not
so dark as the intentions Of the bur-
glarious intruder in the suburban DOM
icile.
Having got that out of the way, let
us proceed with the story.
The burglar searched the bedroom,
with movements so stealthy that they
failed to rouse the snorer in the bed.
But he found no booty-he had drawn
q blank.
BLOW 'im!" he murmured, angrily.
But I'll get some satisfaction out o

So he set the alarm clock on the
mantelpiece for $3.50 a. m. and softly
stole away.
