Jiui Lviy waa ihe stwu of Industrious
■ u» Unu't) poieuu, but be wan ue ex
emplar of thv doctrine of heredity. Ak
a bo.v be UaJ gone to school bvesuse
If bv baJ uol gone there the truaut offi
cer wvulvl have luuvJv existence elae
vv here uncomfortable twr hiui, sua Jinr
dearly loved to be comforlubl*. At
school it was easier to at the
foot of bis dus* tbau bibber up. so he
philosophically chose the easy ihiug
ana stuck to it. JUu was not a tula,
chit w us boy or a baa oue iu any seu*«,
because those attribute* require effort
to ma lu tula tlieiu. As somebody h*C
to be at the foot of the class, ana there
were those who were aiacvnleulea
there, the teacher aevepted Jim as a
special providence aua rnaile tlie nioat
of hltu.
"It's beyond me about Jlmmle." his
mother was wont to say. "He ain't u
bad boy uor up to no mischief, ami
you'll think when he went to school
he'd leuru his lessons Just beeu use he
didn't want to learn nothiu' else, but
he wou't learu a single thing, gooil or
bad. lie just seems to be everlasting
do-leas settin' around and settin'
around and settin' arouud. And I'm
sure he dou't get It from the Anderson
side of the bouse neither."
Mrs. Doty was uti Anderson, and this
conclusion of hers was an unsupported
animadversion u|kiii Mr. Doty because
that worthy man not ouly made a very
comfortable living, but owned a small
farm and had money laid away for s
rainy tiny.
When Jim waa old enough to go to
work, ids father secured a place for
him to learn the carpenter trade, which
was rather a surprising selection, as
success In that depended upon n skill
which did not appear to be one of the
characteristics of the young apprentice.
"1 put him at that," Mr. Doty ex
plained to an inquiring friend, "becsuse
I've seen that boy set on a soapbox In
the shade and whittle fer six hours
hand runnln'. Of course he never wlilt
Ilea nothing out of the wood he uses
up, but 1 kind of thought maybe he
Would learn to ir I put him at carpen
lerin'."
Time, and not a very long time either,
proved the speclousiiess of Mr. Doty'a
logic, and JllW was no longer seen
about Ihe shop where he had essayed
to huttdlc the dtnwknlfe and the saw.
After this a Hemp t to make a skilled
laborer of his son Mr. Doty thought
possibly there might be an UiideVelob

he saw Jack lying acroaa the rails, with
his leg twisted under hltu and his foot
fast In a frog. He had paaaed out to
the main tracks, and Jim heard a train
coming. Quicker than he had ever
moved before In all his stagnant life
he cleared the apace between them and
stood In the track over lila rlvsl'a body.
The heavy engine coming down had
been reversed, but too late, and no pow

each other In rlelmte grew very warm
and took to commenting on each otli
er'a oratorical nanftr. One of them
spoke with much emphasis, letting the
stress of his voice fall explosively on
eertaln passages.
Ills opponent opened his speech by
saying, "My friend ou the negative
thinks to win this debate by speaking
exelamatlon marks ami Italics."
The other could do nothing at the
moment to turn the laugh which this
speech raised, but when his tnrn eame
he "got bark" at his opponent with
tld» retort:
"My rrlend on the affirmative says I
speak Italics, t should say that he
uses .Italics In the way they are used
In the English Nlble-not to emphaslr.e.
but to mark what Is not original and
