"A year or two ago Knut Hamsun a Norwegian won the Nobel Prize for literature, one pf the highest honors obtainable by authors and ojic of the most coveted, Forty odd years ago he was a street car conductor on 'a Chicago train. Befgre that he was a hired man on a Dakota farm, Amusing stories are told of his experiences, With books of classic authors bulging his pockets and dreams of his own unpenned verse absorbing his thoughts he was as unsuited for his tasks as a man conld be, : A copy of Euripides in one hand, he rang np fares with the othér. He read Aristotle, and let passen- avers ride far beyond their destinations. Yet on tha exposed platform of a bob-tailed car with the Weak winds éutting through his thread bare clothes and with frostbitten hands cherishing a precious volume 'Knut Hamsun unconsciously developed an intellect which was some day to win for him the world's prize for literature. But he was mot a success 8s a street car conductor, and was soon dis- missed. The eompany wanted conductors who -wonld let passengers off at the right streets and not dream dreams. Next followed an even less poetic post when Knut became a fisherman on a Newfoundland | fishing smack. But the captain soon decided that Knut was not the right man and dismis®d him; shortly afterwards the dreamy Norwegian was found in his own eountry, A little later appeared his famous "Pain" poems in fifteen volumes. These created a sensation in literary circles and paved the way for the winning | of the Nobel Prize. Farm boy, street car eonductor, | tisherman, the winner of the world's greatest liter- ary prize. That is making dreams come true! F ROM OUR EXCHANGES A GOOD FAMILY TO KNOW (New York Central Magazine) Have you ever heard of the SUCCESS family?

They till like to preach the *"self-made man,' and to cite examples, A professor in Penn: sylvania has pertinently made answer thus; *' There are antiques of which one may be proud, but schools are not among them, There should be no sentiment connected with the little red sehool house, You may say that the little red schodl house produced a Lincoln, but I say that Lincoln was produced in spite of the little red school house."'
