CORRESPONDENT SEES THROUGH DARK GLASS Dear Mr. Editor: Some people are naturally born wise. An association for the propagation of culture aniong the heathen met in this disial city last week to ex pound to the meek lanibs of the colleges of the state the need for men of noble quality to spread the good work ainong the benighted worshippers of wood and stone. And said as sociationl, Mr. 1"ditor, needed such pious and exemplary characters as college imen to pursue the noble task. But, Alice and Aleck! though col lege men are so model, they are somewhat low-browed and rough-necked. The association for the diffusion or culture re ilized that to get these youngr men who had beconie estranged from the vision they must put a burnish upon the dull sur face. And-here's wIiere some one was wvise-to bring the straying laibs into the fold, the conference decided to set forth the ideas and ideals where they would be met--but perhaps not heard-by a large audience. So, as a meeting place for the presentat-ion of facts so engrossing (?) to col lege men, paradise was select ed-namely a certain home or school for fair young things with apologies to the other liomie--it, also ir- paradies). Then and there, Mr. Scribe, the association's proispects be r.an to rrow, and the chance for t le improvement of the souls of the forsaken creatures in Madagascar and Ceylon began to bloom. And oi Our camIIpus, -usually the scene of esca pades that would distress the unfortunate mortal in the South Seas who has not seen tle light, great bustle and ex citeiment became manifest. This is how the conversation ran: t lhik : "Why the excite itient" More lnk : "The Soc.iet yN for Dit'TuIsion of (Great Ideals ieets this week." Blank : "We1, what t hei Sami Ilill has that got to do with a gool poker game?"

Well, anyhow, a nole light I was striking these sonis of (lark ness, and( I veniture to say that I the jewelers up town sol out aill their gol for hialoes. One nnnally burdelned character famous for his bac dianalian revelries was seen to be mubniling something fer vently and heatedly.

I could miltiply a Iuindred fold tlhese remarkable tales of restoratioi to godliness, but I hlfl eite oilly one iiore ilci lent: Last Priday night I was wending my way through the Uapitol ground.s. The hour was late. In front, of me, same Lwenty or thirty paces, was one >f our most distinguished hard Ioiled campui;s cliaracter-s. Ite was hurrying along when sud leily a hold-up Iman tIlrust. a p)istol inl froit of limi and de iianded moiney (I don't think ie had ally) or his life.

Now, knowing my friend as I did, I said to nlyself, "'Another goo volumie A lim-caccio rulined." Buit Ivolld youl believe it, Mr. Edi or, Ie shiowed Ime the bullet 0rn book and it was a copy of PIilgrimii's Progress." I swoon ~d.
