Joe: And if it is decided everywhere, in Broad
moor, and New York, that it should be done?
He: 1 can't answer that question.
The horses rush by in a gallop.
Another conversation fits thru his mind.
Joe: How many rooms have they?
He: Very many.
Joe: How many people would have room in all
that space?
He; At least a hundred.
Joe: And where do you live?
He: In hole with half a window
And there was no denying it. 1t was a fact.
But why! Why? Why? Joe can only ask
1t is true, he answers himself. But his answers
are not from entire conviction as yet.

And are always playing polo.
Polo every day.
They chase after a ball which is not visible from
here How fine it would be- if they would help
level the path. With much energy wonderful
roads could be built.
But they are playing polo.
They let the poor build the streets
The masters prefer to play polo
That's what they call distribution of labor

He: Don't know, but there's a whole lot.
Joe: And how many books does he read?
He: None. He sleeps in the library.
Joe: How many people would like to read the
books?
He: Lots of 'em.
Joe: Why don't all these take away the books
from this one?

Marguerite almost broke into tears
@If Mr. Broidin would seem
@What have you got to do with Broidin?"
Marguerite blushed. Her hand went to her
cheek. She felt the pinch again
After the meal Nickles showered questions upon
the girl.
"What happened?"
Marguerite told him.
An insane rage arose in him What does the
man want with her?
There was no end to the Dishes
And there was no end to the dishes.
The table service piled up before him higher and
higher.
The table service had to sparkle
The knives had to be sharpened.
And while Nickles cleaned the knives and forks
he thot about the whole affair Why does he desire
the wife of another?
And just his wife?
And he cleaned the table service.
Then it occurred to him that it might not be
true The girl invented it only to tease him. This
seemed to him the best solution.
The work exhausted him.

poultry. Together that makes fourteen.
Joe: And they?
He: Two
Joe: So for two people there are fourteen?
He: Yes.

deal Of Improvement in the work OF
the candidates. The game this after
noon was the first of the three that
the seconds have been able to squeeze
In a run, and the final score was 81 In
favor of the first string team.
The varsity was made up of all of
last years veterans with several new
men on the list. Yesterday OBrien

the hot corner, was used throughout
the game, but today Coach Roundy
used Smart and Baldwin on the third

his old position. Hannifen covered
the keystone sacks for the varsity I'M

tage Of some special opportunity to
better their conditions.
Disraeli said. 1.-THE greatest
secret OF success in life Is to be
ready when your opportunity
comes"
To those who are drifting along
from day to day without getting
ahead and apparently making no
effort TO do so. this advice should
come with special force. Money
should not be saved merely with
the object of being ready for some
great opportunity in life. but the
fact remains that without saving
and getting ahead there will never
be opportunity for any progress
whatever.
1t also Is to be borne in mind
that opportunities for great self
advancement often come to those
who. because OF their thrifty habits,
have gained the good will and con-
fidence OF some person who is in a
position greatly to advance their
interests.
Thrift brings its rewards In
countless ways aside from the mere
piling up OF savings. One Of these
is the development of industry.
The thrifty man is well organized;
he is of the type that inspires con-
fidence upon the part Of employers
and executives who are seeking for
men to fill important posts.
The nan who is thrifty can rest
assured he is making no mistake.
1t may not be possible for him
to look ahead today and see the
advantages that will come from
today's sacrifices. But the day or
reward will arrive.
Thrift and opportunity are al.
ways on friendly terms.
