...rather than a dutiful pen. The two leaders which follow on "Harvard's Goodies and the Living Wage"--be it noted that the Monthly when she muckrakes generously gives both sides a hearing--are eminently serious; and the second, it seems to the reviewer, effectively silences the first. For, though we grant that the present system of capital and labor may be wrong, we must in fairness admit that as long as it is in operation the College, in self-defence, can pay only the market price and no more.

...several narrow escapes form infuriated elephants and rhinos, once stopping a charging elephant only ten feet off. Buffaloes, also, were very dangerous. Lion hunting, though Colby said, is the finest sport of all, for the hunter is pitted against another trained hunter who knows much more about it than he does. Lions are crafty, and often seem cowardly, for they know that their charge is dangerous only within 40 yards. Once started, however, nothing but instant death can stop them...
