great promise in the field of science and yourself. Which ones would you choose to live and which to die? Givo your reasons for your decisions?" In our opinion the answers to such questions in an examination of tho sort given by Edison will fall to show anything about the cliaracter of the hoys being tested. When choices" required above are requested -on a merely academic basis, they are valueless. The boys taking the Edison examination' were exceptionally intelligent, veterans of other examinations preliminary to the final Edison competition, and wise to the ways of examiners thru their high school experience. "Which ones would you choose Jive and which to die?" means to th boys, "which ones do you think Thomas Edison would chose to live and which to die?" it resolves it self into a guessing contest aa to what Edison would do.

Certainly a proper guess involves shrewdness, knowledge of the humanities, a sense of But a proper guess has positively nothing to do with the chafacter of the guesser.

No one can tell with any accuracy what he would do In the circumstances outlined. Perhaps the Edison examiners wished to know the boys were sufficiently intelligent to attempt to match their own and the scholarship donor's Ideas. But we doubt that. The examiners must have been attempting to test character, of which there is no academic measurement. 19 YEARS AGO From the Files of the Greeley Republican Another disadvantage in having a lap dog Instead of a baby is that you can't blame its meanness on dad's side of the house.

There was more horse sense on the highway in the old days, but the horse had it. There's always a fly In the ointment. The more you read and learn, the more vainly you search for something worth reading. As a last effort to get a good price for Mis wheat, the farmer might dump it in the road and let sucker tourists run over it. Americanism: Pardoning a rich criminal because Jail fare gives him indigestion; keeping a poor man locked up 14 years on perjured testimony.

Yet lowbrows seem as witty to one another as highbrows do when they get equally stewed. If it Is true that sense of taste brings back old memories, why can't we recognize a familiar highway In the dark? When airplanes became common, people on the ground quit sunburning their tonsils.

Klug) Down on the farm, 'bout half past four, I slip on my p'ants and sneak out the door; Out of tho yard I run like the dickens To milk ten cows and feed the chickens, Clean out the barn, curry Maggie and Jiggs, Separate the cream, and slop the pigs, Work two hours, then eat like a Turk, And, by heck, I'm ready for a full days work! Then I grease the wagon and put on the rack. Throw a jug of water In an old gunny sack, Hitch up the horses, hustle down the lane-Must get the hay in, for it looks like rain.

Look over yonder! Sure as I'm born! Cattle on the rampage and cows in the corn! Start across the medder, run a mile or two, Heaving like I'm wind-broke, get wet clear through Get back to the horses, then for recompense, Maggie gets a-straddle of tho barb wire fence, Joints all a-aching and muscles in a jerk, I'm fit as a fiddle for a full days work! Work all summer till winter is nigh. Then figure up the books and heave a big sigh. Work all year, didn't make a. thing; Got less cash now than I had last spring. Now, some people tell us that there is no hell, But they never farmed, so how can they tell? When spring rolls 'round I take another chance, While the fringe grows longer on my old gray pants.

Give my s'spenders a hitch, my belt another jerk, And, by heck, I'm ready for another years work! a livery for more years. than two Invitations are out for the wedding of George E. Cox to Miss Hilda Wyatt, which is to take place on Monday, Aug. 14, at the homo of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

By I SEYMOUR New York--AH the big New York department stores employ staffs to visit rival stores and find out what competitors are charging for merchandise. When price wars are keen, as they have been lately, stores use sales clerks as shoppers, because professional price-spotters tire too easily recognized at rival counters. A young woman, at the cosmetic counter of one store told us, the other evening, some of her experiences as a shopper, and wo said, "Write that down just as you've told it." Here it is in her own words, with store names disguised: Mercantile Sleuth "Sometimes I am sent out merely to get prices of articles at other stores, but at other times I am given so I can buy things, if necessary, without being spotted so easily as a shopper. "As a sales girl I know It Isn't easy to spot a price-shopper, or to tell one from the Icind of customer who wants to try a lot of things she doesn't intend to buy. But anybody who asks prices on a lot of kinds of merchandise is suspected right away of being a shopper, and in some stores olerks must give no information to such people, but call the buyer at once.

"I have gone Into 's several generally with, money to buy if I needed to. One day I asked some prices but tho girls at the counter lidn't want to quote them on anything wasn't purchasing, because their store was trying to keep ours from underselling it. "On the spur-of the moment I cooked ip the story that I was from Long Island and didn't get to the store often, but that I would buy cosmetics mail sometimes if I knew the prices. The girls called a buyer, who apparently believed my story and. told me all the prices I wanted to know.

"The second time I went to that store, as I came up to the counter 1 heard one girl whisper to another, and I didn't accomplish much. Task for Sophisticates "It takes a pretty swanky looking girl to go some Fifth avenue stores more than once to snot prices without being suspected of being a shopper. I have had, girls smile at mo sweetly and say, 'You're from 's, aren't 1 "But I'm an ordinary looking work- Ing girl, without the air or the clothes to buy expensive creams and l.tions riotously, even the store has given, men plenty, of money. A young woman well-to-do and sophisticated, who cared for professional shopping, could have a lot of fun--especially she had a taste for the theatrical. 'In 's, where they know I clerk at A 's, they tell me they are out of things which I know they have carloads of.

"In 's I assured them one day that I was no shopper, and got prices from a girl clerk. "A couple of days later she walked up to my counter in A 's, as a shopper for her store, and there I stood!"
