PERSONALITY

A T any time it is possible for
a grown person, under
proper discipline and training to
make over his character entirely,
according to DR.. Charles Judd,
of the University of Chicago.
Differing from other psycholo-
gists, who believe that mans
character becomes definitely es-
tablished in the first five or ten
years of his life. Doctor Judd
declares in Popular Science
Monthly that human nature is
never wholly fixed. The school
years, however, are most i'm
portant in shaping character, he
says.

A Tragedy

For days and days I have been
reading a book that's gained the
worlds applause, a book that left my
sad heart bleeding, the grimmest book
that ever was. A tale OF sin and
crime and sorrow and divers strata,
divers spheres; and when twas done
/ had to borrow a lot of rags to dry
my tears. There is no hero; the
chief actor a foolish youth of tawdry
soul, and fate upon him like a tractor
with deadly force proceeds to roll.
There Is q dansel who adores him,
she loves him even when betrayed,
and then she wearies him and bores
him-he loves another, richer maid.
And so he slays her that his loving
of t'other girl may prosper well; and
then we see the jailers showing his
person in a prison cell. We follow him
throughout his trial, the author
spares us not a pang, the accusation,
the denial, the loud attorneys fierce
harangue. And then the ghastly
preparations for marching to the
lethal chair, the parsons mournful
supplications, the doomed ones grim
ace Of despair. The scenes set down
without an error, the reader will not
soon forget, but will awake at night
in terror to brush away the clammy
sweat 1t is the writing of master,
a genius of the highest skill; the tale,
like an adhesive plaster, adheres to
my plagued memory still. For all it's
worth I give it credit, it is a triumph,
nothing less; but much I wish /
hadn't read tit gives me night

This contract, according to Brophy,
was forwarded to Brophy's office in
duplicate for him to sign and still is
III his files.
"After the desertion of the Manly
