GIRL HAD RETAINED PROBLEM IN MIND

Educator Tells of Remarkable Feat of Memory.

A western editor, college professor and publicist, speaking of remarkable memories that he had observed, says: “I've known some good memories. One was that of a western congressman who knows fifty thousand people in his home state and can recall every meeting with every man. I have heard Blind Tom and Blind Boone, musical prodigies who could reproduce the most difficult composition played in their hearing. I've known Al Hicks, the Montana stock inspector, who knew six hundred stock brands, their owners, their range and every vent and road brand they had ever used. But I think the most remarkable memory feat was that of a negro girl student in a high school where I once taught,

“I had a class in advanced algebra, and in the textbook was a long list of problems on which we worked for weeks. For examination I assigned any two problems pn a given page, each student to make choice for himself, - .

One especially difficult problem in three unknown quantities had required a whole blackboard for its solution. Only one boy, the class prodigy, had mastered it,

When this negro girl, who wrote a beautiful hand but was particularly dense in mathematics, handed in a faultless solution of this hardest problem, I couldn’t see how she could have done it without cheating. “Ellen,” I sald, “why did you select this one?”

“Because I could do it best, sir,” she affirmed. i

Though I couldn’t believe it, finally I said, “well, ilf you did it once, you can do it again, here in my office.” I watched her as she wrote steadily, rapidly, without erasures or hesitation. Soon she handed me the paper: I couldn’t have done It any better myself. s

“Well, you did it, and you get your grade and an apology,” I told her. “But surely you didn’t work it out as you went along?” _ “No, sir, I just remembered it,” was her surprising response. “Remembered it?”

“Yes, sir. Don’t you remember that Harry Thatcher wrote it on the board? Well, gir, I just remembered it, and there it is!”

Those other prodigles were doing the things in which they were interested, with which they were in love. But this negro.girl, knowing and carIng \iothing for mathematics, had nevertheless memorized all these strange figures and thelr intricate relationships, In which she was not interested; and to my mind her memory feat was greater than all the others. —Youth’s Companion. .

% Dance of Summer

Ezra Pingle of Clover Leaf farm, who keeps summer boarders, was leaning on the front fence talking to a new arrival the other day, when out in the meadow near the river a young man clad in a bathing suit leaped high In the air and detoured to the groung, his outstretched arms lending considerable grace to his movements.

When he touched earth again his rebound was magnificent. Then, like an excited fawn he leaped and ran across the meadow, where he ended his exhibition with a most beautiful dive over the alder bushes into the river. - “Interpretive dancer?” asked the new boarder. e :

“Nope, bumble-bees,” said FEzra Pingle—Kansas City Star.

Rapid “Well, how are 'things going on here, these days?” asked the picture enlarger who visited the hamlet sufficiently often to be mildly interested in the happenings there. “Booming, sir; booming!” triumphantly replied the landlord of the tavern at Peeweecuddyhump. “Fully three times as many motor cars pass through here now’days as did last summer, we've got a couple of right lively divorce suits going on at once, there are fully twice as many prisoners in the Jail as this time last year, and Deacon Pennypincher is actually talking about painting his' house!”—Kansas City Times.

His Interes?

“Six little pups were borned at my place last night,” announced Lum Dumm of Slippery Slap. “Cutest little fellers you ever laid your eyes on.” “That so?’ returned an| acquaintance. “Didn’t I hear.something about a new baby at your house last night, 007" > ~ “Come to think, I reckon you did.” - “Is it a boy or a girl?” “Why, I-—durned if I thought to ask, I was so int'rested in the pups.”—Kansas City Star.

Diagnosis

“My ‘dear sir, what you need is a complete rest.” “But, doctor, I retired from business three years ago, and haven't done any work since.”

“Ah, then I have located the seat of the trouble, you must have some employment to keep your mind occupied !”—Judge.

Serious Business

“Hello, dearie—just dropped in to see if you wouldn’t like to go shopping with me.” o -

“Sorry, my dear, but I can’t—l sim: ply must buy something today.”’—Life,

Police Chief Wolf was in Elkhart Friday. His mother Mrs. Sarah E. Wolf who had been visiting a daughter there returned home with him.
