list includes Charles Reade's Hard

stone" with the newest works of tho
late lamented Thomas w. Hanshew.
OF course, brainy men read detec-
tive stories. Brainy men also attend
circuses or 60 to baseball games and
are fond Of old-fashioned molasses
candy and have moro fun out Of

blase children do. That is because
they have too much sense to become
