It's  all  for  the  Good  of  Somebody  Else.


                                  0  doubt every one is acquainted with  some  one whose every act of whatever kind is all for the
                                     good  of  somebody  else   And  recently we  have  come  to  be  thoroughly  ac'luainted  with
                                     just ~uch a  man.  lie  has  done more for this city than auy other man.  .\nd yet it was all
                                     for  the  good of somebody else.  The  reader, on  learning a  few of this  man's  good deeds,
                                     will see the truth of this statement.
                                          It is  said  that  this  man, as  an  insurance  agent,  wrote  up  a  policy  for  the  college
                                     buildings  for  many  thousands of dollars.  But  this  was  all  for  the  good  of the  college.
                     To hear him tell  it· he had the Girls· Dormitory built, but this was all for the good of the girls; he had the streets
                     of the  city  pa,·ed, but  this was  all for  the  good of. the  citi1.eus  and  the  liverymen;  he spent much of his  time
                     dictating as to how the college should be run, this was for the good of the  institution.
                          By  some  means  or  other  he  did  not  get  married.   This  was  for  the  good  of the  woman  who  didn't
                     allow herself to be taken in.
                          On  being  approached  by  the  business  manager  of the  l'I"i\KIDI\  for  an  ad., whi  h  would  co~t  ~2.  he
                     hurried  on, saying  that  he  had  no  time  to  talk  about  such  a  thing  as  that.  This  was  for  all  the  good  of  -
                     we have been  unable to find  out just \1 hom yet.
