the value of a flexible Pump that is fastened securely to the foot. This Dancing Tie for men, while in no sense radical, is strictly up-to-date.
Made in Dull Soft Kid, or Patent Leather, flexible hand turn Soles—has four eyelets, just enough to hold the foot firmly, yet not enough to bind the ankle in the slightest.

that merits the investigation of the high school student who is attracted towards science is that of
Chemical Engineering
The demand for experts in this line is as keen as the desire of manufacturers for better processes and for the utilization of by-products.
The pecuniary rewards include both large salaries and liberal percentages of the saving which the chemist brings about.
The course in the University is complete, and after the necessary practical experience and work in research, leads to the degree of chemical engineer.

MA TYLOSAUR SPINS A MORAL YARN
A Bedtime Story for Freshmen
"Once upon a time many years ago," began Mama Tylosaur to little Bobby, "when your great, great Uncle Henry was living out in Western Kansas, the animals all got to fight with each other to see who would win." Your Uncle Henry had won nearly every thing. He could eat the largest tree and drink more water than any other animal.
"One day while he was sunning himself, old Charley Turtle crawled up and got to bragging about how smart he was. Uncle Henry never could stand for any one else telling about him. He said he snorted around, lashing his tail something breadful. He had an awful tail. Uche Henry did.
"Why, you little dried up carbon-
ferous piece of hard shell," he cried,
"what do you think you can do. I
don't know, not on you and smash
to you pieces."
"Then little old Charley piped in a mighty weak but brave voice, 'Now look here, Henry. I can't help it because I'm just a little shaver. I know as well as you that my legs only four inch feet wide and my legs only four feet long, but I'll bet you my last cent that I can beat you in a five mile race.'
"Well, Uncle Henry just laughed at the presumption of that little turtle, but he agreed to race with him just to show how silly Charley was. When the other animals heard about the race they laughed and made lots of sport about it. At last the day came.
"Old Charley Turtle still thought he could run the faster. He took all his family to the end of the course so they could see him come in. Uncle Henry gave Charley 50 yards head start then he started out. It wasn't but a few minutes until he had a turtle old turtle and went on down the track. When he reached the fourth mile post he could just see Charley coming over the hill back at the first post. The sun was mighty hot and there wasn't need of hurrying so Uncle Henry rested a while and the first thing he knew he heard the crocodile swimming up the river and Charley just going up to the judges stand. And ever since our family has never like the turtles."
There was silence as the Tylosar finished. Then little Bobby drew a contented sigh as he went off to Dreamland. On the wall the turtle moved restlessly and the legs in the glass case twitched.

Author of Spanish Epic Unknown but Work Lives on
Prescott, a student of Spanish lore, says; "At the very outset we are met by the remarkable poem of the Cid that primitive epic, which, like the Nielbuenglened or the Iliad, stands as the traditional legend of an heroic figure with a certain date of his growth which belongs to the morning of a nation's existence. The name of the author, as is often the case with those memorials of the olden times, when the writer thought less of himself than of his work, has made it clear that date of its composition is uncertain—probably before the year 1200; a century earlier than the poem of Dante; a century and a half before Petrach and Chaucer. The subject of it, as its name imports, in Diz de Bivar, of the Cid, the Campeador, 'the lord, the champion, as he was fondly styled by his countrymen, as well as by his Moorish foes, in commemoration of his prowess, chiefly displayed against the infidel. The verification is the evidence, and exhibiting all the characteristics of an unformed idiom, but, with its rough melody, well suited to the expression of the warlike and stirring incidents in which it abounds. It is impossible to preserve the carved back to the heroic age of Castile; and we feel that in its simple and cordial portraiture of existing manners we get a most vivid impression of the feudal period than is to be gathered from the more formal pages of the chronicle from which this picture was carri
