To His Advantage Two strangers in a first class compartment were in a friendly conversation. The wiidows had been closed by previous occupants, and the desultory talk had drifted to the subject of ventilation. "I make it," said one, "an invari- able practice to advise people to sleep with their bedroom windows open all the year round." "Ho, hol" laughed the other. is easy to see your profession." "Indeed, and what do you think it is?" "It is fairly obvious," came the reply in lofty tones, 'that you're a doctor."

"It / ~ Time Wasted "This theory of governing child- ren by appealing to their reas. n isn't all it's made out tg be," said a worried school-teacher recently. "A youngster needs a little spanking once in a while. "One of my little boys had skip- ped his classes, deceived his moth- er, been found cut, .and caused much unhappiness all round. I took him aside, and we had a heart-to-l.eart talk. Johnny sat still, looking at me intently. "I thought I was making great headway.
