He said ‘capitalism’ better look out; he and the folelgn-born workmen were goln’ to take this country some day, and that was one of the reasons he was after an education. He talked pretty strong pro-German, too —about the war in Europe—but I sort of thought that was more because he’d be pro-anythlng that he thought would help upset the United States than because he cared much about Germany.” “res,” said Colburn, “that’s how he sounded tonight.

Ramsey was laconic In response to inquiries upon this subject. When some one remarked: "You served him right for calling yon a boob and a poor fish and so on before ail the society, girls and all,” Ramsey only said: “That wasn’t what I hit him for.” He declined to explain further.

“The way I look at It, Ramsey,” Fred Mitchell said, when they reached their apartment, whither a benevolent senior, Colburn, accompanied them, “the way I look at it, this Llnski kind of paid you n compliment, after all, when he called you a fake.

According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have Jised the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.

“PEACH OF A PUNCH "

Synopsla.—WJth his grandfather, small Ramsey Milholland is watch“Decoration Day Parade" in the home town. The old gentleman, a veteran of the Civil war, endeavors to impress the youngster with the significance of the fiTeat conflict, and many years afterward the boy was to remember bis words with startling vividness. In the schoolroom, a few years afterward, Ramsey is nbt distinguished for remarkable ability, though his pronounced dislikes are arithmetic, "Recitations" and German. In sharp contrast to Ramsey s backwardness is the precocity of little Dora Yocum, a young lady v/tyom in his bitterness he denominates "Teacher's Pet" In high school, where he and Dora are classmates, Ramsey continues to feel that the girl delights to manifest her superiority, and the vindictiveness he generates becomes alarming, culminating in the resolution that some day he will show" her. At a class picnic Ramsey is captured bag and baggage by Mllla Rust, the class beauty, and endures the agonies of his first love. Ramsey’s parents object to Mllla and wish he’d taken up with Dora Yocum. Ramsey kisses Milla. Then Mllla suddenly leaves town. She marries. Ramsey enters the state university and there Is Dora Yocum again. Ramsey meets Dora In a World War debate and is ingloriously vanquished.

Mitchell gave himself up to the divan and the mirth. “Oh, oh, oh, golly 1” he sputtered.

“Yes: you won’t he called on again this term. By the way.” said Colburn, thoughtfully, “that was a clever girl you had against you tonight. I don’t believe In pacifism much, myself, but she used It very nlftily for her argument. Isn’t she from your town, this Miss Yocum?" Fred nodded.

“Well, she’s a clever young thing," said the senior, still thoughtful. And he added: “Graceful girl, she Is.” At this, the roommates looked at him with startled attention. Ramsey was so roused as to forget his troubles and sit forward In his chair.

"Yes," said the musing Colburn, “she’s a mighty pretty girl.”

“I never saw him before.” Ramsey responded from the deep chair, where he had moodily thrown himself; and, returning to his brooding upon his oratory, “Oh, murder!” he moaned.

“What I"

This exclamation was a simultaneous one; the astounded pair stared at him In blank incredulity. “Why, don’t you think so?” Colburn mildly inquired. “She seems to me very unusual looking.”

“Well,” said the senior, “you’ll know him when you see him again. You put your mark on him where you can see It, all right I" He chuckled. “I suppose I really ought to have Interfered In that, but Tdeclded to do a little astronomical observation, about fifty feet away, for a few minutes. I’m 'way behind In my astronomy, anyhow. Do you know this Linskl, Brother Mitchell?”

“Well, yes.” Fred assented, emphatically. “We’re with you there!” “Extraordinary eyes." continued Colburn. “Lovely figure, loo; altogether a strikingly pretty girl. Handsome, I should say, perhaps. Yes, ‘handsome’ rather than ‘pretty’.” He looked up from a brief reverie. “You fellows knowp her long?” “You bet!" said Ramsey. “She made a splendid Impression on the Lumen,” Colburn went on. “I don’t remember that I ever saw a first appearance there that quite equaled it. She’ll probably have a brilliant career in the society,, and In the university, too. She must be a very fine sort of a person.” He deliberated within himself a few moments longer, then.

He was so right. In regard to his own performance, at least, that, thereupon drying up utterly, he proceeded to stand, a speechless figure in the midst of a multitudinous silence, for'an eternity lasting forty-five seconds. He made a racking effort, and at the end of this epoch ffhmd words again. “In making my argument in this debate, I would state that —”

They talked of the war drowsily for a while; it was an interesting but not an exciting topic: the thing they spoke of was so far away. After a few moments of fervor, the conversation languished, and Brother Colburn rose to go.

He had begun to shriek; moisture fell from his brow and his mouth; the scandalized society was on its feet, moving nervously into groups. Evidently the meeting was about to disintegrate. “I’ll have my say!” the frenzied Linski screamed. “You try to put up this eapitalis’ jrick and work a fake to carry over this debate agains' Choimuny, but you can’t work it on me, lemme tell you! I’ll have my say!” - The outraged chairman was wholly at a loss how to deal with the "unprecedented situation” —so he defined it, quite truthfully; and he continued to pound upon the desk, while other clamots began to rival Linskl’s; shouts of “Put him out!” “OrderI” “Shut up, Freshman I” “Turn him over to the sophomores!”

Shopping in Ecuador.

The common trade balance of Ecuador Is a short stick carrying a suspended pan at each end and held up by a cord around the center. The weight is a rock about the size of a man’s flst, and, while no two of them are ever the same size, the merchant is always prepared to pledge his honor that the stone weighs a full and exact pound. The price for a commodity is almost never fixed, and as the Ecuadorean Is always prepared and expects to come down somewhat from his first price, it speaks worlds for his optimism that he Invariably tries to get more. The bargaining does not actually begin until you have disregarded the first figure and asked: “What Is the last price?" (“el ultimo precilo?”). In fact, I have been told voluntarily, when pricing ponchos, that the price was 25 sucres, but “I can come down a little.”

“This meeting Is adjourned I” bellowed the chairman, and there was a thronging toward the doors, while the frothing Linski asseverated: "I’m a-gonna git ray say, I tell you! I’ll have my, say I I'll have my say I” He had more than that, before the hour was over. A moment after he emerged from the building and came out, still hot, upon the cool, dark campus, he found himself the center of a group of his own classmates whom he at first mistook for sophomores, such was their manner. ... As this group broke up a few minutes later, a youth running to Join It, scenting somewhat of interest, detained one of those who were departing.

Shocked by such a breach of order, and by the unseemly violence of thespeAker, not only the chairman but everyone else looked there. A short, strong figure was on its feet, gesticulating fiercely; and the head belonging to It was a large one with too much curly black hair, a fiat swarthy face, shiny a.od not immaculately shaven; there was on Impression of 111-choseti clothes, too much fat red lip, too much tooth, too much eyeball. Fred Mitchell recognized! this violent interrupter as one Linski. a fellow freshman who sat next him in one of his classes. “What’s that cuss up to?” Fred wondered, and so did others. Linski showed them. He pressed forward, shoving himself through the two rows in front of him till he emerged upon the green carpet of the open space, and as he came, he was cyclonic with words.

Possessions are synonymous with riches. One is rich who has great possessions. But possessions ore many and varied. A person may have much money, and be very poor. A person may have little of the goods of this world and yet be rich. Possessions are both material and spiritual. Material riches of themselves can do little. No matter how much money a person ha,'!, that money alone cannot accomplish much. Money cannot buylove, friendship, mercy. Money cannot give Its owner an amiable temperament. literary taste, or moral worth. Money for Individuals collectively can accomplish nothing without mind and soul put with that money. Somebody must furnish these spiritual assets. —Grit
