A REMARKABLE BOY. | William James SIdls, now only 11 years old. is a special Btudent at Har vard university, specializing in the study of guartornlons, one of the high est forms of the high mathematics taught in that institution. He is the youngest student over accepted at Harvard. Although in Ihc heading of this ar ticle the boy Is called remarkable, his father, Dr. Moris SIdis. says that the lad Is just an ordinary boy, not es pecially remarkable, in natural ability. According to the parent the results have come wholly from the kind of education the boy has had. In sub stance the method used by the father intralning his son is to make the work interesting and to begin early. Forc ing is not approved; just let the child follow his own eager desire to obtain There's No Risk If This Medicine Does Not Benefit You Pay Nothing A physician who mado a specialt y of stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia, after years of study per fected the formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made.

All the more do we begin to look life In the face to Bee what it really is; and thus seen, it acquires a value, a substantiality we had not no ticed before. Some men never reach middle ago?as thus defined?at all. The poet that dies young In every man, rarely if ever does. The pro fessional poets went young to their graves, whether with Chatteron's years or Walt Whitman's. They have their compensations?assuredly, the poets?but no man who has tasted knowledge of life, real and solid and good In itself, would wish to return to the stage in which life In a mere medium for sentiment, or lover or ani mal spirit. Perhaps this is a reason why so many men of business and af fairs are inclined to be rather con tempturous of poets and their works. They know that Detter even than hue things said about life is the life itself. Romantic passion is out of sight in tho wake, gone down the wind, but the affections are quite satisfying once one reaches them. After all, the only romantic, loves who hold out to the end are the unhappy loves. Since time was, matrimony and work and Steady aims have already plowed the romantic emotions under. While the] strong patience and affection that can work easily In double harness would never burn Troy Town or lose Acti nia's sea-fight, it creates the world three times anew each century arid does the world's work faithfully. No lovers would change with Phllemo, and Baucis, but no hard-working cou 1 pl"s of whom we have record would be young lovers again. They would as soon to harmless and beautiful green and gold snakes sunning them selves in a mountain dell, work done, no more fevers and chills, no more fits and starts for them; rather reab I sorption into the strength and silence and patient endurance of the natural world.
