TIME FOR HIM TO DEPART
Youthful Lecturer, at a Lose to Know
What Next to Do, Had t* B*
Given Strong Hint.
. A young author and critic, who had
come to be an authority upon a cer-
tain jnodern phase of education, went
a few days ago to deliver his first
lecture at a girls' school. He bad lec-
tured before, but never at a "young
ladles' seminary;** and as two wbite-
frock ed. curly-haired ushers led him
out to the platform, and he sat down
beside the matronly principal among
the women who made up the faculty!
and faced a sea of girls' faces, he was
young enough to feel a bit of embar-
rassment himself It was rather dif-
ficult st first, but once the lecture
was started things went all right
He finished what he had to say and
sat down The audience and the ms
tftmly principal and the women who
made up the faculty clapped their
hands enthusiastically Then the ap-
plause died down and silence settled
upon the lecture hall. The young man
sat on watting for some one to say
something, dimly conscious thst a
move of one kind or another was ex-
pected of him. But his lecture was fin
tailed. he had said all he had to say:
there were no quratlons from faculty
or students^ A few of the girls be-
gan to fidget but no one spoke
The young mac became unpleasant-
ly aware that be was expected to do
something and to do It st ooce; but
he did not know what to do He re-
flected miserably that he did not know
the etiquette of a girls' school any-
how And then there was s signal
from the principal and a move In the
audience, and the prettiest of the
tw^ girl ushers approached him, a lit-
t!4 shy, determined to do ber duty.

Chair Built for Tramps.
Of late Bingham. Me., has been able
to say that it had fewer tramps than
any other town of lta size in the
state. The reason for this is a “tramp
chair.** This chair is made in the
form of a common upright chair of
strap iron, but is encased, the door
being made of the same strap iron
material. It is on wheels, and can
be moved to any part of the town Not
a great while ago a tramp went to
the village, and there being no lock-
up there, the officers had occasion to
take care of the man. and he was
put into the tramp chair It is not
known how long the tramp stayed
there, but at least long enough so that
he wanted to get out of the town as
quickly as he could. He evidently got
word to his brother tramps, and warn-
ed them to stay clear or Bingham, as
!no tramps have been seen In the town

The rosy tight that tinges so beau-
tifully the summits of lofty, snow-clad,
mountains before sunrise and after,
sunset is due to the feet that the*
yellow and red ray* of light posses*

Th* flrat-mentioned ray* mak* their:
way through stretches of the atmos-
phere which entirely arrest and turn
beck the blue, and they do this the
more eepeclaly If the air is laden at,

that augment their opacity.
When the sun is below the horlson
the red end yellow rays struggle on
through the air as far as the snowy
heights, dropping their associates by*
