ONE DOSE BROUGHT "PEP"

For many years Ebert Ram sey had followed the teaching profession. Many times his thoughts had wandered to the outside, active world of busi- ness and many times he had laid his plans to embark upon the voyage which he believed would bring him wealth and power.
 Each time, however, his de- parture was deferred. For four teen years in succession the lit tie college in which he held the chair of mathematics increased his salary. The increase was small, true, but it was enough to enable him to lay aside a little more each year, toward the day when he would enter the business malestrom and joust with his fellows.
 A little girl was born to he and his wife Martha. She filled their home with brightness. Up on her he laviShed all his af- lection. In turn he was her hero. To him she hastened when he came from his class room. Apparently forgetful of her mother, her thoughts were only of Daddy" when he ap- peared.
 He shared her games. He got as much enjoyment from her toys as did she. He was the one who read her Bedtime Story" He was more her big brother than her father.
 It was a home of happiness for Ebert Ramsey. He thought only of the present and of his family-of what he is going to do for his little daughter and his wife when he entered the bucinacc opapo
 But suddenly all was chang ed. Ebert Ramsey fell ill. For years he had stuck too closely to his books. He had neglected .O take exercise. He had failed to get the portion of sunlight and air which should have been his. His illness was not ap- parent at first, but nevertheless he was sick. He felt a strange ness growing up between him self and the rest of the world. His love for his family did not diminish, but he lost the power of expressing it.
 He was irritable in the class room-increasingly so. He sharply reprimanded without cause the son of the newly elected president of the college. The father called upon Prof. Ramsey and protested gently. Ramsey holtly replied and after a bitter quarrel rendered his resignation. It was accepted.
 Ramsey regretted his action the moment it was taken, but pride prevented his admitting his error and apoligizing. He boasted to his wife that now he was through with the college
