Suppose that a man has strong intellectual tastes, a love of art or science or literature. He will require, of course, enough wealth to enable him to devote himself without anx- fety to his favorite pursuits, and enough, moreover, to train himself in all requisite knowledge. But, granting this, the material conditions of happiness will be sufficiently fulfilled. I think {t was Agassiz who ob- served, when@e was devoting himself to science, that he had not time to get rich. Wealth, to him, would have been rather an impediment than an advantage. A man like Faraday, who placed his whole happiness in the extension of scientific knowledge, and who was not less honored because he lived upon a modest income, would not have had a greater amount of that kind of happiness had he possessed the wealth of a Rothschild. A man whose pleas- ure ts in reading books or contemplating works of art, or listening to music, can ob- tain the highest enjoyment at a very mod- erate price, and can get yery little more if he has the most unbo led wealth at hi disposal. If we inquired what men of suc! tastes had, in fact, derived m then the greatest happiness, we should, I fancy, find ourselves mentioning men comparatively poor, whos@ enjoyments were even compara- tively keen, because they had to devote a certain amount of care and contrivance to obtaining full play for their capacities. Charles Lamb, plotting and contriving to get an old volume from a bookstall, largred got more pleasure from his taste than the rs of gigantic Hbraries. The socia- ble man, the man whose pleasure in society is the genuine delight in @ real in- terchange of thought and sympathy, who does not desire magnificent entertainment, but the stimulus of intimate association with congenial friends, would probably find the highest pleasure in comparatively sim- ple soci trata, where the display of wealth w no object, and men t, as Johnsen met his friends at the club, to put mind fairly to mind, and to stimulate intel- lectual activity instead of consuming the maximum of luxury. Milton’s sonnet to Lawrence gives, per- aps, a rather severe, but a very fascinat- ing, ideal of refined luxury: What neat repast shall feast us, light and cheice, Of Attic taste with wine, whence we may rise To hear the lute well touched, or artful voice Warble immortal notes and Tuscan air? He who of these delights can judge, and spare To interpose them oft, is nct unwise. Nor need we b2 accused of inordinate boasting if we should say that we would rather have made a third at such a feast than have joined a dozen rowdy courtiers at the table of Charles IT. ——__+0+-___ High Art. From Youth's Companton, The sheli meeting houses of our grand- mothers and the sculpture in butter of the present day are not the only examples of efforts to produce something seml-artistic out of poor material when better material lay close at hand. There was such a de- mand for Voltaire’s portraits that one in- genious artist, Huber by name, made an excellent living for a time by executing these likenesses in various ways. He ecquired such a facility through con- stant practice forming the famous writer's features t he could not only cut tnost striking likenesses of him out of pa- pir, with scissors held behind his back, but could an@ did mold tiny busts of him out of bits of bread in an incredibly short space of time. satigfied with this he at last used to malte his Gog manufacture what were pro- nousticed most excellent profiles by making the animal bite off the edge of a biscuit which he held to him in three or four dif- | ferent positions Take a Ride to the SOME EXCURSIONISTS Polic8 Court Today. Many of Them Afterward Start on a Vacation to the Work House. A large omnibus drawn by two heavy horses conveyed sixty excursionists to the Police Court this morning, but owing to the clogging of the wheels of justice, some of them had to walk home, while others went to the county later in the day to spend a few days on the branch, where they are watermelons and fish, and there they will have a summer outing. Judge Kimball held court at 8:30 this morning, to close the day’s work early enough to take the train for Maine, the place where he spent his boyhood days. The opening of court only thirty minutes earlier than the usual time disappointed some of the regular guests, who did not appear until the usual time, and, conseqvently, only saw a few acts of the show. But the lawyers who practice there were not behind time. They never are, for they always reach court in time to greet the early arrivals for the dock in order to get clients, even though the lat- ter are without funds, for they argue that the practice may do them good, and they may, perhaps, get a smail fee for their trouble. While most of the lawyers referred to will accept cases in this way, they sometimes get cash fees, and some of them go so far as to demand cash in advance. George Carter, a young coiored man who rays he resides in Brookland, was found in the city this morning under suspicious cir- cumstances. George said he left home at 4 o'clock this morning to go to Knox's alley, and Police- man Hartigan said he found him an hour later on Missouri avenue. “He walked in the yard,” said the officer, “and looked in the open window as If he in- tended to enter.” “I didn't go up to the window,” he said. “I only went in the yard to pick up a book. “But you had no business to do that, sald the judge. Policeman Auldridge gave the prisoner a bad name, and the court gave him fifteen days on the farm. Charles Fisher, an honest-appearing col- ored man, has a cook shop, known as the “Eureka,” on C street southwest. During the strike, when the price of meat went up, the old man found it necessary to get into some other business in order to earn a livelihood. His patrons had complained that they had to go “dry” on Sundays, and asked him to run a “speak easy” to ac- commodate them. Sergt. Daley heard of the acccmmodation, and he went down to the place and tried his hand. “I found eighty-nine empty bottles and twenty-nine bottles filled with beer,” he told the court. “I'm guilty,” said Fisher, “but I’d like to *splain.” “What's your story?” “My customers asked me if I wouldn’t get some beer and put it on ice for them, and I did so.”" “Did you make anything for trouble?” “Well, the be trouble.” “And violated the law,” added the court. “If I was transgrading the law,” said Fisher, “ I didn’t know it, and won't do it no more. A fine of $300 or ninety days was im- Judge Kimball was surprised when he was told that there is a merry-go-round or “flying horses” in operation in the city. Henry Twombly, a colored boy, was charged with being disorderly at the horses Saturday night. “He had a brick in his hand,” said the officer, ‘‘and I arrested him before he could throw It.” “Where was this?” the court asked. “At the flyi ¢ horses,” was the officer's your judge, I paid 80 cents a box for » and made 20 cents for my response, “If the flying horses are going,” said the judge, “‘we'll have lots of cases.” Henry, the first victim of the season, was fined $5 or fifteen days, James Taylor, colored, had a fight with his wife, and she made him leave the house. “And when I found hint on the street,” said an officer, “he was very loud and pro- fane. On the way to the station he fought ma? Jim made a denial, but in the face of the Positive proof his denial did him no good. A fine of $10 or thirty days was imposed on him. “I enlisted in '48,” said Joseph O'Donnell, an old soldier, who was arrested yesterday for violating an ordirance. “Where did you get your liquor?” “Oh, I was drinking in one place and then in another,” he answered, “and the first thing I knew I got drunk.” Judge Kimball fined him $3, and gave him an opportunity to go out to the home and get the money. On the Fourth of July Henry Barker was shot, and last night he stopped on a street corner to teil some friends about it. While there Policeman King came along and gave the “move-on-or-I'll-run-you-in” order. Henry didn’t move fast enough, and the policeman pushed him. Words followed, and Henry was placed under arrest. A fine of $3 was imposed, and Henry's name was put on the credit list. William Johnson, a clam man, was next in line He sells clams in Northeast Wash- ingtoh near saloons, and Saturday night, after business hours, he dumped his shells on 13th street, where he thought they would help make a good road bed. But in this he was mistaken, for a policeman was watching the place, and William was placed it. he responded, when arraigned. “omplaint has been made about these men dumping shells on the street,” said an oificer, “and they have been In ‘the habit of canine them about the hout the of- ficers change. Saturday night I went out Cee and caught Johnson.” “Five doilars or fifteen day: ” said the judge. Judge Kimball could wait no longer, as he wanted to take the 9:40 train, and Judge Miller relieved him. Joseph Brown, alias William Saxton, col ored, was charged with “crap shootin, and he denied that he even knew how to Play the game. He was not arrested at the time Police- man Hartley said he saw the game. Joe hac not been in court before, and the judge | him the benefit of a doubt dismissed ‘im. Last night in Georgetown there was an open-air religious meeting opposite the resi- dence of Nat. Hill.

The Past and Present of This Well- Known Seaside Resort. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J.{ July 14, 1894. This old seaside resort, which has been its claims as a water- in the beginning of a season of life and gaiety, such as were Rnowi' by the old in- habitants in ante-bellym days, when Henry Ciay, James Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, the elder Bayards and many southerners of fame came in the summer to enjoy pleas- ant sea breezes and’ renew acquaintance of those of the north. Cape May is the old- est watering place alorig the Atlantic coast, save Newport, and as early as 1803 the Philadeiphia Daily Aurora contained‘ ad- vertisements of Cape May inns and of the directions and roads to be observed in driv- ing south from Philadelphia to this point. Benjamin Franklin 1s said at one time to have sent guests to the old town when the present Main street, Washington, was not 4 existence, and its parallel sister, Lafay- ette street, was only a cow path. The vil- lage then had but about one hundred in- habitants, and four or five inns. The place gradually grew in size until in 1840 it had about forty houses, printi- pally boarding places. The streets were only made as necessity demanded and be- cause of this there is hardly a perfect biock in the whole plan of the city, as it is now called by the grace of the New Jersey leg- islature. The early mode of travel, aside from driving was by packet, and a regular weekly service was conducted from New York and Philadelphia until the steamboats gradually took their places. The place boomed rapidiy after the steamboat service Was established. The daily comings of the New York and Philadelphia boats were the principal events, and it was then between 1840 and the breaking out of the rebellion that Cape May's halcyon days were noted. The hotels were filled from early June to late September and the visitors were of the jolliest sort, mostly from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. The southern element was the most con- spicuous for its hospitality and this ele- ment was a staying part of Cape May life until the late rebellion began.‘ The patron- age which Cape May lost then has never been regained. After Long Branch be- came prominent, and the other resorts nearer Gotham also attracted the Knick- erbocker's sons, the New Yorkers seemed to lose interest in this resort. After the Railroad Came. What Cape May lost in war times was partially regained just before the close by the construction of a railway line, which is now operated by the Pennsylvania rail- road. Just after the building of this road @ great boom in cottage and hotel building followed. To the old hotels, with their long piazza columns, reaching to the top of the hostelries, were added those of modern ar- chitectural appearance, which gave the place a distinctive peculiarity. Fires did much damage about a decade ago, but from these ruins sprang up more modern hviels and much prettier summer villas. The ad- vent of a second railroad, the South Jersey, fed by the Reading and the Baltimore end Ohio, has again infused new hopes into the people. .This line, though hardly in regular running order as yet,was started four years ago, but the first regular train did not be- gin to run until Tuesday of last week. The life at the resort is again resembling that of years gone by. There are no Pierces, Henry Clays, Grants, Buchanans, Harrl- sons here this season, no Washington Light Infantry camping here, with such a gailant colonel as Col. Moore, to take the iead in entertainments, but nevertheless, the guests that are here seem to be having a jolly time. The Washington Contingent. ‘The Washington guests are numerous this year, and a glance over the hotel registers reveals the fact that at every hotel and every day the Washington residents are coming, and the colony from that city is already large.

Representative Dayid H,’ Mercer and bride have been enjoying a portion of their honeymoon here.

The Prince of Wales Leads the Point- ed or Vandyke Variety. , From the Westminster Gazette. Concerning beards,as now worn, it is ob- vious there has been a great change latter- ly. Every one ts now wearing a pointed V- shaped Vandyke beard, while a few years ago the Vandyke beard was unknown, end the popular beard followed very much the shape of the face. And they say the change is all due to the Prince of Wales. It arose in this way: The prince has a barber who sees to his hair. The barber noticed that latterly his royal highness was growing a little stouter, and he thought a change in the shape of his beard would be more be- coming. This view he commynicated to the prince, who thoroughly acquiesced. The die was cast and the deed was done. That day the prince had, and has ever since retained, a Vandyke beard. But that day was three years ago. In the interval fashionable ‘men with circular faces discovered that the rounded beard added to the appearance, of breadth, and the pointed beard reduced it. So they took the prince’s hint and followed it. Gradual- ly thinner men, who were’also fashionable, followed their leader, and one saw the pointed beard everywhere. Then it became @ matter of fashion, and now, of course, every one is adopting it. It was very much the same twenty years ago about that lock of hair on the fore- head. Cepoul made a debut in ‘Paul and Virginia,” and looked pecutiarly fascinating with the lock onthe forehead. Other young men, who thought themselves good-looking, followed the example, and the coiffure a la Capoul ran all through Paris, and got spe- cially in vogue with garcons at restaurants, who annexed it as a body. Men’s fashions are a little more staple than women's. The hair a la Capoul is still worn. Who shall say how long we shall have the Vandyke beard? Possibly thirty years hence it may still be worn, when the cause of its intro- duction may be quite forgotten. — -soe This Mouse Knows Its Friends. From the Philadelphia Record. An Intelligent little mouse Ives behind the desk in the weighing clerk’s apartment at the post office scales. During the duty tour of one of the clerks, whose dislike of mice is scarcely exceeded by that of a nor- mal school beauty, that mouse never shows itself, lest it should become the target for a paper weight, or be crushed under the clerk's heel. After a certain hour, when the scales are in charge of a clerk who rather enjoys letting the timid littie crea- ture run up inside the leg of his trousers, the mouse fearlessly emerges from his dark nook, gathers up the lunch crumbs, and does just about what it pleases until the scales begin to bang. ABLEST SPEAKER IN KANSAS for Governor. Something About a Man Who is Not Much Known in the East—A Bit- ter Opponent of Prohibiti Spectal Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., July 13, 1894. On the 6th day of July, 1892, the demo- crats of Kansas met in convention and rominated as its ticket the electoral and state candidates of the people's party. Seu- ator Martin stood upon the floor of that convention and declared that it was the duty of every democrat in the state to cast his vote for the electoral ticket named by the populist party and thus take the vote of this state out of the republican column. To this appeal there was general acquies- cence. This action taken, Senator Martin said: “Gentlemen of the convention, let us go further and indorse the candidates on the populist ticket for state officers and as- sist in driving from the state house our arch enemy, the republican party, that has for more than a quarter of a century con- trolled the destinies of Kansas.” This was the beginning of a fierce battle, but Martin and his friends won, and in January fol- lowing the republican party went out of business in this state. Instantly the republican press of Kansas and the country announced that the democ- racy of this state had surrendered to the new movement and that hereafter the sole opposition to republicanism would be the People’s garty. A few days ago the demo- crats of Kansas met in convention in To- peka to nominate a ticket. Every county in the state was fully represented. The friends of Gov. Lewelling were there as spectators, expecting to see similar action to that taken two years ago, but when Chairman Jones, in his opening speech, declared that the conditions were entirely different and that this year the democracy of Kansas must turn neither to the left ror the right, but treat all parties as enemies to democracy, a shout went up from the 400 delegates that made the convention hall tremble. This hearty applause was notice to the populist leaders, vho hai been hoping for fusion, that the democratic party of Kansas had not been swallowed up by the new move- ment and that it proposed to do business along old established lines. David Overmyer, the nominee for gover- nor, 1s by all odds the abiest platform speaker in Kansas, John J. Ingalls not ex- cepted. Hes a remarkable man and pos- sesses oratorical powers which enable him to sway his audiences at will. His personal magnetism is something wonderful. He is aggressive, positive and firm, and when he takes a stand for the right as he sees it no power on earth can swerve him. And still @ belongs pre-eminently to that class of men of whom the poet says: “The bravest are the gentlest. The loving are the daring.” Mr, Overmyer is forty-five years old. He was born tn Indiana and was an ardent re- a until he came to Kansas, in 1883. ¢ republican party of Kansas had cham- pioned the prohibition cause, and that was more than he could endure. He gave notice of his departure and declared he was hence- forth a democrat. Since that time he has never ceased his war on prohibition. In the approaching campaign he will discuss the prohibition question in all its phases. Prohibition in Kansas. In a recent talk he said: “At the advent of prohibition Kansas was the best advertised state in the Union. While it, like all other places, has its draw- backs, it is after all an enchanted land, in which salubrious air, fertile soil and sub- Umity of scene are so blended that the eye of man 1s gladdened and his heart rejoiced by the rapturous charm-of burnished sky and shining plains, and yet in twelve years we are short a million of people by reason cf prohibition. People will not make homes where they cannot be free. Tear prohibition from the constitution and hurl ft Into the dark vortex of things accursed. Do this and Kansas will rise from her lethargic condition and take her place among the Prosjerous commonwealths of the nation.” While many Kansas democrats have, to & certain extent, become inoculated with populist virus, Mr Overmyer has remained firm and steadfast in the democratic faith. At a speech delivered several months ago he proclaimed his views with reference to the new party, which he will reiterate on every platform in Kansas during the ap- proaching campaign. On the Populists. He said: “The Ocala platform is forgot- ten, the St. Louis platform 1s forgotten, the Omaha platform is forgotten, by the men who made them. All these contain many generous and noble senti- ments, but the men who framed them, though patriotic, were for the most part in- experienced, unwise, inconstant and un- stable. They were mostly of the empirical and experimental school of politics, which always opposes democracy. Phosphores- cent’ and evanescent, thelr pronunci: mentos flashed across the political firm- ament, bet a3 they recommended noth- ing within the present constitutional powers of the government, and as their authors had neither the patience, nor the mental, nor the moral discipline to set- tle down to the slow and determined work of changing the Constitution; as they had been fed upon works of political fiction, which led them to accept the miraculous and the impossible, they found the re- straints of the Constitution an insurmount- able barrier; and the thought of the labor, the patience, the solid argument, the lon, stern battle, the appeal to the ‘cool judi ment of the people which would be involved in an attempt to change the Constitution by ordinary political action, appalled them; and we no longer hear of government loans and subtreasuries and commodity cur- rency; nor of government ownership of raliroads, nor of flat money, except as to this latter, as a stealthy and remote ulti- mate. The great economic facts the pres- sure of which produced this spasmodic ac- tion still remain; their complex and difficult problems still confront us. Wealth is still concentrated, poverty is still prevalent and markets are still monopolized. Before the stern, unyielding front and frowning actu- alities of social problems the populist party lies down and trembles with dread and con- scious incapactty. It could not be other- wise; there comes a time when arraign- ment and accusation must -give place to suggestion and remedy, when the destruc- tive process must give way to the construct- ive. When that time arrived then was the hour of responsibility. The populists had nothing to offer within the range of the Constitution—nothing but revolution—and the country was not ready for that. They Propese to cure concentration with counter- concentration; private monopoly with pub- Me monopoly; corporate and consolidated evils with the commune; state abuse with state socialism. When they became con- vinced that there was something wrong with the country and that it was mainly the result of republican policies and prac- tices they turned upon the democratic party and denounced it as equally respons!- ble, when in truth the democratic party had opposed every measure of which they complained with all its power, and had, step by step, inch by inch, contested every foot of ground with the republican party through a quarter of a century with a stub- born valor, born of intelligent conscience, and a civic discipline rarely, if ever, equaled in the history of the world, and this, too, at a time when nearly all of the active popullsts were ardent supporters of the republican party.” ——__—. Vessels at Corea, A cable message was received at the Navy Department to day from Capt. Day, commanding the flagship Baltimore, an- nouncing the departure of that vessel from Nagasakt, Japan, this morning for Chemul- po, Corea, where the U. S. S. Monocacy also arrived several days ago. The Balti- more goes to relieve the Monocacy, but the latter will not depart until the progress of events shows that there is no likeli- hood of an emergency requiring the pres- ence cf two United States warships. Until Commodore Carpenter reaches China Capt. Day will be in command of the naval forces on the Asiatic station, and the movements of the two vessels named—all that now re- main on the station—will be left entirely to his discretion. American tnterests in Corea are comparatively trifling, and their full protection is assured, regardless of the strong possibility of open rupture be- tween China and Japan over the suzerain- ty of Corea, COUNTRY BOARD....

Every woman who did not preside over one would straightway be con- sumed with envy of her sisters who did. So long, however, as this is the only one of its kind in the country, the breaking of the tenth commandment is, in a measure, pre- vented. ng The first impression that a woman re- ceives as she steps from the speedy little raphtha launch, which, coming up close to the swinging stairs at one side of the boat, permits easy access to the lower deck and thence to the upper one, where are the quarters of the owner and his family, is that it is a pretty seaside cottage spe is entering. The boat effect is wanting. The vista of daintily furnished rooms with growing plants, cushions piled on divans, silken curtains swaying in the breeze, an open piano, the pretty litter of needlework —all this does not suggest a floating home, but a-villa on the shore, immovable and firmly established. As the Caiman rarely moves in anything but smooth waters, things and belongings Go not have to be set in racks and chained down, a necessity that always unpleasantly suggests tossing about. Except in the butler’s pantry, where the glasses fit in slots overhead, and the dishes are piled on shelves protected by doors with Y-shaped openings, after the manner of yachts, there is almost nothing which hints of upsteady travel. This, too, in spite of her very light draught of 82 inches, which would seem to produce top- heaviness and consequent rocking in a three-decked vessel feet long. But she is as steady as a ferry boat. Parlor di Library. The pretty sea parior in the bow is the general one. Its windows are many, giving the lovely water perspective from every point. Nothing can exceed the cheerful coziness of the apartment, which is spa- cious, too, as its dimensions, 16 by 20 feet, will attest. ‘ Mr. Lorillard’s especial sitting room is amidships, and is as charming in its way as the other larger room. An open writing desk, with a shaded electric light, suggests one occupation of the room, and beoks, a smoker's table, and a general air of loun ing comfort tell of further pleasant quailfi- cations of the place. Two large bed rooms open from this room, their doors concealed by portieres of swinging strands, closely strung with shells, which harmonize ad- inirably with the aquatic effect. There are bath rooms off every one of the six state rooms, and one splendid one stretches quite across the boat, and is fitted for both salt and fresh water baths. Every bed room is an outside one, and doors and windows are screened with a very fine Weave of wire to keep out not so much the mosquitoes as the tiny insects of the Flor- ida rivers, while securing all the air that is wished. The dining room {fs the most gracefully shaped room jn the boat. It is 18 by 20 feet, and, like all the rooms, high- studded and spacte It follows the eas curve of the stern, its eight windows being set in a slightly elongated semi-circle. Next the dining room is a complete but- ler’s pantry, with e draw cupboard to the kitchen just beneath. The Domestic Apartment. Down stairs the housewife is at once in- terested in the colossal refrigerator, with a capacity of five tons of ice and a month’s supplies, even in Florida temperature, of fresh meat, butter, milk, and other perish- ables. The store room also appeals to the provider of a home, amply stocked as it is with all manner of dry groceries and tin- ned relishes. The kitchen is big and roomy, and fitted with every appliance for modern cookery, and if it is not nautically desig- nated, its “coppers” are as bright and shiny as that of any ship's galley afloat. A doctor's room on the first deck is the enly intimation that this paradise is earth- ly, but, ike the big gilt alligators in relief on the bow, it ye 4 be presumed that he and his room are only aboard for the gen- eral fitness of the Epp and not because he is expected to be professionally interviewed. The yessel moves by its own power, being propelled by a twin screw and three triple-expansion engines of 100 horse power each. Thus equipped, the Caiman can make as many as ten miles an hour in the smooth waters of rivers, and do nearly as well when she takes short sea runs, as she is occasionally forced to do. Altogether, the American houseboat, as illustrated by this femous specimen, is a thing to be desired, and although the sumptuous fittings of the one just described make it an expensive affair, it is esti- mated that a very comfortable average houseboat can be built at an expense of about one-third of the average yacht. To descend still further from the Caiman, it would be very enjoyable to own a boat even that would ni to be towed from place to place, thus insuring a still further reduction of outlay. With our innumerable Waterways and water fronts an almost un- limited cruising would be possible within a comparatively short distance. When one thinks of the Thames, a narrow, insignifi- cant stream, lined at certain parts with these long flotillas of houseboats, one wonders that the resources of our splendid Hudson are not similarly utilized. The summer outing has come to be cn absolute necessity to even humble workers. Every r persons take it more rationally. What & vista of blissful rest and aimless drifting from nowhere to anywhere is suggested by an era of houseboats! THR see. COURTS, Equity Court 2, Judge Hagner, Dillingham agt.

It is a Noble Wenkness Shared oy Both Sexes. ‘ From the Philadelphia Press. “It's all very well,” said the coliege man in a tone which meant exactly the reverse, ‘to talk about women’s rights and wrong® ard things. The whole trouble is that you folks want to be both men and women— in other words, the earth.” The college girl looked surprised as well she might, and after assuring him with un- complimentary haste that the last thing she ever thought of wanting was to be a man, and that merely being a woman kept her hands quite full enough—waited for the college m@gn to go on and say— “Well, you want the privileges of both sexes, anyhow. First thing a business grumbles about is that she isn’t treat just like @ man; the next, that she js, you want to vote and to get our seats in the street cars, both; to take our places in active | commercial life, and have us support ’ too; you expect us to transact with you as if you were men, that fs, gt you all their advantages, and at the Ume deferring to you and granting you tl Perpetual discount which masculine chive alry gives to womankind.” “Pshaw!" said the college girl—the living thing that dares contradict college man intent on explaining the unié verre, “Now just listen to me @ there's something to be said on the side. You're quite riht ebout our wantt the earth; it’s a general human weakn: shared without regard to age, sex, color previous condition of servitude. I 6 you'll say you don’t want the earth, too “Not in the way you do.” The colk girl gasped. “Angels ministers of grace! but it's exactly the in which you do want It!

There's a beautiful fictl that a man respects a woman all the for standing up for her rights, refusing be cheated, and so forth, but, on the trary, he is discusted with her.
