And, Miss Grey, don't you think a tramp should be looked upon by #0: elety In a more Christian way than he is at present? Nobody loves a tramp. JUST A TRAMP. A--The workingmen who move from place to place, hunting work are not tramps. The tramp is a lazy man, who beas his living without offering to} pay for it im labor, I do think that even the trampilest tramp should be looked upon in a more Christian} light and made a man of by every one of whom he asks a meal requir, ing pay in labor. Personally, | have never had a man refuse to split a few pieces of wood or bring a bucket of water. THE ELEVATOR BOY'S PROBLEM Dear Miss Grey lam a young man of 22. There is a girl going to school fn one of the business col- leges here. She has red hair, beau tfal hair, but that Is not the only thing about her I like. I like her ways, her manters and all that per- tains to her character is faultless, as far as | know. | Now, Miss Grey, I believe f could | ‘learn to love this girl; at least, )that's what I intend trying. I have good habits and believe, in the course of time, I could make the girl happy. There ts one obstacle, how ever, which I cannot overcome, and that is laziness. Do you think she could be happy with a man afflicted with this disease? She seems to care for me.

Thanking you A.—-My dear boy, laziness is something that no right-minded girl can put up with for long.

Tam going to tell you of what one man, who does not want his name used, and his money did.
