He explains in the Yale Alumni Weekly that he believes just as much as ever in thé Oxford system in which he was brought up, in the old- ‘fashioned English tholepins, and all the rest of it. He also suggests that American crews row best in rough water, but could not expect te do much against the tholepin boats in smooth water. It is cruel to remind Mr. Nickalle that his Yale boys have been consistently licked on water smooth, rough and all sorts between.

BPT, 10 (con.).—1 think that I screamed when Mra, Winthrop Was shot, But the confusion Was so «reat that apparently no one hoticed it, Guests, waiters, every- body in the Trois Arts dining room seemed to bo rushing toward our table or toward another diagdénally across from it, There stood, hia back against the wall, one of the handsomest young men I have ever seen, If his face had not been arresting in its beauty {t could never have impressed itself Upon me at auch a moment. He was not like @ Greek god, for 1 have always imagined them blue-eyed and fair-ekinned, But he might have en @ faun from Tuscany. He had black, curling hair, slighuy dis- ordered, enormous black eyes, an olive akin and a cleanly chiselied pro- ond), Ble, All this I saw in one glance, the lance that told me he held in his hand a revolver etill smoking, I noted one thing more. He was amil- ing! He had not tried to run away, he was not even looking in Mra, Winthrop's direction, He just stood there, smiling calmly and @ little vacantly, But I saw him only in the fret moment of horror and surprise. In @ second I was around the table and at Mrs, Winthrop’s side, Ned al- ready was lifting the lovely head and waving back impatiently, with one hand, the curious group already gathering about us. I put my arm about Mrs, Win- throp'’s shoulders and my hand touched something wet. “What is it? Oh, what ie kt” 1 asked Ned in a whisper. “Nothing serious, I think,” he re- plied, “But I must get her out of this mob, where I can make a caroful examination, If the manager would only come.” * And at just that moment, as if summoned by Ned's words, he ap- peared. “| trust the lady te not seriously injured!" he exclaimed. “She must be removed to @ private room at once, And if you will call a doctor— he turned interrogatively to Ned, “1 am @ physician,” my husband remarked crisply. “The lady has fainted, but probably ts only slightly wounded, If you will tnke us to a quiet room I will seo if she ts in proper condition to be conveyed to By Roy L.

I must get a chance to go downtown to buy some summer thinge for the children,” re- plied Mra, Jarr. “Do you think I can pack up and leave in a minute with- out any preparation? If we go to the country I want some jumpers for the children, some barefoot sandals for them, a couple of cheap wash skirts to wear with shirtwaists for myself and a lot of other things.” “Why don't you get them then?” asked Mr, Jarr, “In this weather?’ replied the good lady. “No, indeed; you won't catch me dressing up and going downtown shopping tn weather like this.” “When will you go; when the weather gets cooler?” asked Mr. Jarr, “Yes; when the weather gets cool- er,” sald Mrs, Jarr, “and when I get some money to buy the things.” “Last week, when it was cooler, you said there was no use leaving town, as it was @o pleasant in the oity,” replied Mr. Jarr. “I'd rather y in town tf it was cool,” said Mrs. Jarr, “and even if I had everything now it is too hot to pack and too hot to travel. Oh, I do hope we »,on't have a night like last night! L never slept a wink, Ah! there's @ breeze!” she added, “I'm eure it will be cool to-morro “Then you'll go shopping?"

We will run out to the country, mayoe. Shall I let Clara know you'll come? You'll enjoy it,” But did Mr, Jarr enjoy it?

(Satan: An ex-archangel.) Don't try to freeze a man's love out; just tell him that you can't live without him and it will gradually evaporate. Oh, no, Humpty Dumpty wasn't an egg! Humpty Dumpty, to judge from the impossibility of patching him “together again,” was a woman's faith in @ man—or a man’s illusions about a woman, Some men are born with an understanding of women, some struggle tq acquire it and some just shut their eyes and live happily with their wives. To a woman love is as necessary as food, to a man it is as necessary, as—well, as champagne, or olives, or terrapin. Don't fancy that a man will die of disappointment or a broken heart ‘f you refure to marry him; he is much more likely to drop dead from am. man receives full value for all he accomplishes and nothing for what he doesn't accomplish? I reflected. “T evolved a plan whereby each man was to receive ten per cent. of the gross profit on all sales to regular customers and fifteen per cent. on those to new customers. Travelling expenses were to be allowed by the house. Then I reapportioned terri- tories so that’ each man would have an equal opportunity. After securing permission to inaugurate the change, 1 called in the salesmen and explained the new plan. “I pointed out the fact that it set no limit to @ man's earning capacity and that !t meant that his job was safe in hard times as well as good. The men were favorably impressed. Pay ohecks were discontinued, but a certain sum was put to the credit of each man, upon which he could draw; this sum to be repaid from his com- missions. “The results were soon apparent. By the end of the second month every man was making more money than he had been previously and our sales expenso was less. In other words, the men were working harder to their own profit and to ours, “The year's figures showed that we had netted about twelve per cent, more than during the previous twelve- month, despite the fact that we had paid out considerably more in com- missions than we ever had in salaries, Increased sales due to increased effort explained the improvement,” —— INDOLENT, “Here's the clockmaker come to fix our asitting-room cloc! funny man’s wife, “W and get it for him Vhy, it isn't upstaire, is it?” re. he, lazily, tonishment or incredulity.
