CONGENIALITY

By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Emeritus Dean of Men, University of Illinois.

Charlie Hunter, In “Behold This Dreamer," is imaginative, tempera-

mental, ambitious to be a painter. He is married to the crude illiterate daughter of a brush maker who neither underStands- him nor does her father. They think him crazy, and have him examined and then confined in an asylum for the treatment of the mentally deranged.

Here he .finds congeniality. sympathy, and Inspiration, to attain tils ideals. He wins a prize on some futuristic crude work which he has done in the asylum, and is released to. go hack to his -commonplace wife and her impossible, hypocritical father The association with them is unbearable, and he finally goes hack to his kindly, sympathetic ami unbalanced friends where he may enjoy the freedom and the peace which Is to help hrm accomplish his Idealistic ambitions. He Is not wholly certain' who is crazy and who is sane, blit he chooses the congenial environment. Mrs. Oliver was a woman who. had no need to apologize for her ance-vv. She had descended from the blue' blood •of New England. Since she had ruled her household, and had been proud to do so. Now she was alone; with the exception of herself,' her family were married and moved away, or dead or Indifferent to her.- There was no one left to whom she could phtv the grand lady. She did mo enjoy this isolation. It piqued her pride that there was no one left whom she could lord It over as she had been wont to do fifty years or more, arid whose homage she could receive. The county hospital—or jri common parlance, the poojrhonse—wupid accept her as a “paying guest" as they say in some aristocratic ■though indigent communities, so she moved in. furnished her own room with the mahogany furniture and the old china which had come down to her from' her ancestors, and reussumed her position at the, head of the table with the less fortunate pensioners ns her slaves and devotees. The move scandalized her relatives to whose ears It came, but It furnished Mrs. I’liiver with a congenial clientele, and she was happy. J •' '*’• (©.1353. Western Newsp»i>«r I’n'or.

FIND MONSTERS OF PREHISTORIC TIMES

Unearth Bones of Two Species of Dinosaurs. Washington.—-Two hitherto unknown prehistoric monsters, members of the great dinosaur family, who wallowed in. the semitrOpical swamps of northern Montana over 75.n0n.n0n years ago, have just been described froth a collection of fossil bones gathered by a Smithsonian institution expedition. Palaedscincus rugosidens, the scientific name applied to one of the extinct reptiles, belonged to the armored dinosaur group, and at the tip of its fi\#-foot tail carried a hone-like mass weighing 50 pounds. According to the expedition group, the mass might have been used as a weapon, with w-hich to protect the rear from enemy attack, or perhaps to brush aside the huge mosquitoes of an. earlier day. Study of tlie other bones of the beast shows, according to Dr. Charles \V. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, that the tail extremity could, not have been used for such a purpose. It was so heavy that the animal could hardly have lifted the tail even with an extreme effort. The huge ball must have been dragged

Tlie other animal. Doctor Gilmore says, had a thick bone plate protection to a one ton mass, of slow moving body, and a six-horn skull with the name oj styracosaurus ovatus. constitute its claim to the hall of fame. Specimens of closely related species show that this great creature probably had. in proportion to its; weight, the smallest brain of any animal that ever lived on (and. The enormous skull, six feet long, contains a space for nerve tissue only about the size of a man's fist. To imagine a Texas horned toad magnified 100 times. Doctor Gil triple says, would perhaps present a picture of the elephantine monsters that trainpled the foliage laden mud of Montana in the days of the great dinosaurs. Formidable and ferocious as the animals appear, their food 0 consisted of plants and vegetable matter.
