TWO STUDENTS.

Jim Keene is very keen indeed
and wears a brain that's built
for speed, but Jimmie Dull is
blunt of mind and so to learn
must dig and grind.
Thus is IT natural for Jim to
think the game is pie for him,
while Jimmie. who is far from
keen, keeps pumping knowledge
in his bean.
Now young Jim Keene may we'll
beware lest he be fooled as Vas
the hare, who thought the turtle
w.ts snap and STOPPED alons the
road tC nap.
For as the turtle made the goal
and left the hare the losing
role. So Jimmie Dull may set
pace that wins for him this
mcn'al race.
A stGdent may be keen and fast
and draw the BOBBY at the last.
while some good plugger. dali
cf dome. steps up and takes the
med0ls home.

In the Limelight
By| George Perry Morris.

The late DR.. J. NJ. Buckley. for
merly editor OF the New York Chris
tian Advocate. had a pungent and
caustic, rather than a pretty wit"
A friend, once saw him buy a copy
of the New York Sun, in the days
Of its cleverness and maliciousness.
when II was the organ through
which Charles A. Dana worked of
his antipathies against good men.
How can you thus countenance
such a journal?" said the friend to
the Methodist mouider of opinion.
lis IL not my business to fight the
devil, and how can fight him un-
less I know what he 10 thinking
about? retorted the shrewd sitter
on the tripod. Moreover an intellect
AZ keen and a mind as witty as DR..
Buckiey's, from the standpoint Of
technique and sheer intellectual vir-
tuosity. would feel that he must read
the Sun, at least occasionally. The
anecdote has more than personal in
terest and application. Many a
or lay reader reads
steadily opinions he despises or an
hors, 80 as to fght the more effec-
lively the opinions that he must
combat
Westward the course of Gothic
architecture takes its triumphing
way. Bertram Goodhue, OF New
York. than whom there 10 no finer
American designer and builder OF
1his form of art. is busy working
out the plans for a chapel at the
University of Chicago, which Is to
cost 31,500,000. and has Mr.. Rookie
feller for the donor. The mental

Adams Cram. Mr.. Goodhue's former
partner and also an ardent expositor
Of the Gothic school,. will read OF
tist. probably will be many. He
steadily grows more and more me-
dieval, socially as well as ecclesias-
tically considered. and he would
have society return to the walled
town type. with trade guilds domi-
nant and not millionaires.
With the appearance on the wit
ness stand at Grand Rapids OF for
mer Governor Chase S. Osborn the
Newberry investigation will take
on extra interest. This Michigan
political leader. this explorer of
forest and mineral tracts, and a
man of wealth and independence
Of thought and action, II he Is to
be judged correctly by his recently
published book Of "reminiscences. Is
one of the most candid persons in
American public life. His spades
are spades. not agricultural in
struments, and he has a terrible
way of telling the truth about the
way Michigan men he has known
have made their wealth. The Fed
ersl grand jury found him a val
liable witness in formulating the
indictment against the crowd now
on trial in Grand Rapids.
II you enter the building on Bea-
con Hill. Boston. where the Atlantic

: snow About the CapltoL

The accumulation of snow, sleet and
ice in the Capitol grounds is cleared
away these days by the force of about
twenty laborers employed by the SUI
perintendent Of the building. Some
years ago this task was performed by
the Chain gang" composed of pris-
oners from the old workhouse, then
In extreme East Washington. These
men wore striped convict suits and
some Of them had chains dangling
from their ankles. The picture pre-
sented was offensive to some of the
Members Nof Congress and they en-
tered protest against the connnu-
ance of the practice and the chain
gang was withdrawn. The suggestion
was recently made that certain snow
and ice cleaning machinery be pro-
cured for this work. The machines
are operated by motor and do the
work quickly, II 10 said.
