e. Otit of this diseuesiort Mr. Duncan
evolved the copy line, "The seecege
of a life is in direet proportion to its
' net coral -Da -Mien to human happiness "
end Dave sat writing -it fat. MO the
night.
As soup as Dave had learned to read
a little ide Duncan thek him one day
to the publie library, and the young
man groped in amazement 11 and
.tlown the great ,roWs of book, Pre-
seribly a strange eenee of inadequate-
ness, came. corer him. "I can never
read ell' el' those books, nor half of
-
them," he se.ti. "I suppese one artist
read there m order to be well in-
formed," '
Mr. Dunean aiineaxed to charge the
subject. "Yea like fruit?" he asked.
"Yes of course Why--"
"When , you 'go inte a fruit store
do you stand and say, 'I can never
eat ell ce that fruit; crate arid crates
of it, and :Carloads more re the wale -
house'? Of course you don't. You
eat enough for the good of your sys-
tem, and let it go at that. Now, just
apply -the same tense to your reading.

and no more. The trouble With Many
of our peopleis that they do not read
to think, but to save themselves the

chloroform it."
Mr. Duncan also took occasion to
speak with Dave about his :religious
viewe: Ile did not forget Dave's ex-
planation of why he went out of the
chureh. "I sympathize with your
point a view a great deal,", Ire said,
"but don't be too &Weeping- in your

mind oif men—whish' is his link with
the .Infinite—into some narrow, soul -

think of a man who, was trying to sell

"What about Socialism'?" asked
Dave. . •
"Very goon, in so far as it is eon-
etructive. But there is a destructive
brand of Socialiern . which seizes the
fancY.of diseppointed and disgruntled
men and. WOMANI, and bide them de-

"I haVe beena:t seine ef their meet-

,
"Between -husband and wife in; the

Mr...Duncan, "Nothing is to be gain-
