Small Brains Astoplshed Older Employes. I wag ttiiich abused the other day, said a hardware dealer, at a small toy who came around looking for a Job. One of the clerks bad dropped "a lot of tacks Into a drawer of brass screws and had given up the Idea of taking them out. When the youngster turned up, looking for a job, we thought we would try him out by letting him sort the two articles. Ho went at it the same way we had begun, picking out the tacks with his fingers and getting the point cf every third tack in the ball of his thumb. He had enough in about a minute and he straightened up. We all began to smile, expecting him to give up the job. Instead of that he went over to the show case and picked out a horseshoe magnet. Then he came back to the box. In thirty seconds he had the tacks out and the screws were still in the compartment. He knew that the magnet would attract iron and not brass, and in a jiffy he had accomplished what we had been trying to do all the morning. We didn't really need a boy, but thiB chaps smartness appealed to ua, and we find him so handy to have around that next Saturday he gets a raise. Exchange. Boy with ' sharp-pointe- d While away, it is possible that Turner had not done as he should have done, or had done as he should not have done. In a meaure a disturbing sense of thiB oppressed him. He endeavored with the best possible grace !to banish such thoughts. Unfortundid success he discovered that ately not attend the mere effort. There was that thing, which has sometimes been and misnamed conscience,which allowed him but little peace of mind. He had been away from his home village long enough to forget the faith due Louise, the girl to whom he was engaged, and to become involved in a delightful and altogether satisfactory affair with that other girl. He saw, distance and separation aiding his active imagination, that Louise was Incomparably Inferior to her rival. The fates so ruled It that Turner, whether Willingly or otherwise, was much in the company of Eleanor, the brilliant girl whose star was now so phenomenally In the ascendant, patters progressed with undue haste. Turner, if not a man of sudden fancies and dominating Impulses, was nothing. Weeks that seemed to him as months, so filled were they with teeming incidents, were hardly necessary in the maturing of his affection. The admitting of this love to himself barely preceded the declaration he made to Eleanor. Perhaps he would have betn more circumspect and less hasty had he not felt sure that he foresaw his answer. The sequel substantiated what, until then, could be no more than an opinion. Thus it chanced that Turner, without actively desring to play the part of deceiver, was engaged to two girls at the same time. Originally Turner had been a man of honor. Even now he possessed a few stray sparks; his subsequent acts attested to the truth of this. He wrote a long letter to Louise, going to much trouble to treat the subject exhaustHe. told her Just how It was, ively. in conclusion assuring her that it was best for both of them, and contritely begging her to forgive him. He rewrote the letter, revising it carefully. When satisfied that he had dontf the best he could the letter was laid aside for a day ere being dispatched on its explanatory mission. By the next morning his good intention had escaped, and the letter was carefully consigned to the open grate. In a moment a small heap of ashes was all that remained. Now that he was home for a time, he determined to tell Louise. He was no coward, but he realized the amount of moral courage requisite. The aversion he felt for It, and the - self-sacr-i- sense of this oppressed him. See it would Impose, he looked upon as the price of his perfidy. When he called on Louise he took She was note of many things. beautiful In her simple gown, this he could not pass by. He saw, too, the look of love and trust In her eyes. For the first time, perhaps, A disturbing a pang of real remorse shot through his heart They talked long and earnestly; now of the present, the past, the possible future, and their love, planning with the enthusiasm of young lovers. As the time passed Turner saw it become more difficult to tell the trusting girl what he had to say. Once indeed, he had approached the subject by asking her: What would you think and say if I told you that I had been faithless I would not believe you," she answered at once. Hastily Turner retreated from his dangerous position, nor did he feel to-yo- u? "I would not believe you," she answered. safe until they were comfortably discussing some subject foreign to the one of which they had just disposed. His stay in the village was for not more than a week. During this time he called on Louise with praiseworthy Iu each instance he enregularity. deavored to tell her of his love for Eleanor, but he could not come to it He genuinely. feared the effect it would have. Louise loved him so blindly, so devotedly, that she could not imagine him capable of such a defection; and to tell hen to disturb the beautiful serenity of her trust that required moral courage far beyond Turner's. In the end he left.' with Louise still in Ignorance. At the last moment he consoled himself with the thought that he would write to her and fully explain. It would be so much more generous to leave Louise in possession of her happiness for a week or two longer. In the meantime he would seek Eleanor and banish all care in the sweetness of her presence. When he came to her home she had gone out; at any rate, bo the servant said. He insisted upon being admitted, but it was of no avail. Later, when he again called the same story greeted him. Having a vague, undefined fear that something was wrong be wrote her a note, requesting per mission to call, or at least an explanation. The reply was brief, but comNo explanation is due prehensive: you," were Eleanors words. And it is presumption in you to make such a request To my notion, this affair between us has gone far enough. I must beg of you, therefore, to cease those attentions you have been paying me. Henceforth all intercouse between us is broken off. Turner was dazed as he read, but it was plain enough. The writing was unmistakably Eleanor's. No explanation was given him, nothing but the bald statement with which to console himself. That afternoon, as he stood In one of the stores on the main street of the town, he saw Eleanor go by. With her there was a young woman he knew well. It made him feel sick and faint as he rccognized her; he knew he could not be mistaken, for that face, that figure, and that walk, could Princeton the Champion. The distinctive mark which will make Nov. 14 notable in football annals In the years to come was the defeat on that day of both Yale and Harvard, the two universities which originated the American game of football, and vhich have for so many off seayears, with an occasional son," maintained their supremacy over all rivals. Both have been beaten before and many times since the .birth of football both have been beaten in the same year, but It is doubtful if history contains a date on which both succumbed at practically the same hour. Yale's defeat by its second oldest rival In the game, Princeton, was a defeat and an unexpected one to EIIb rooters, but not a humiliation, because the Tigers are foemen which rank in Yales class and every year have sturdily disputed victory. But Harvards downfall before Dartmouth, which has never even claimed entree to the sacred precincts of the big four, and coming as It did in the first contest In Harvards magnificent new stadium, was humiliating to a degree, and every Cambridge graduate throughout the land will so feel it The victory, while a glorious one for the New Hampshire collegians, will not be considered by them as entitling them to the first rank permanently, for they have this year a team unusually strong for an institution of their size, and Harvard has an unusually weak team this season, according to the records it has made.

After witnessing the games between Boston and Pittsburg I am firmly convinced that the foul rule should stay. The baseball public has actually grown to like the rule, and a vote of the people would mean 5 to 1 in favor of the rule.
