waiting for a train. A belated traveler
ran up to him and asked excitedly,

"I really don't know," responded Mr.
Sousa.
"Well, why don't you know?" shout

No Wonder This Poor Child Waa Altai
Bea Over the Question.
The balf-dozen blocks about Dupont
circle In Washington Include the homes
of as many scientists of national repu
tation. These gentlemen, of course,
know each other and meet frequently.
Not long ago one of their neighbors
began to wonder whether such Inttmato
Intercourse among scientists was n
good thing, his cogitation having had
Its rise In the following Incident:
Ills little daughter has Just reached
tho age when she asks "00 questions a
day. About n month ago her father
spoke of some author as lacking tho
proper "temperament" for writing on
history. That word "temperament" ap
parently took root In the youngster's
mind. What was temperament? Slits
asked that question twice an hour for
an entire week, i iinuiy ncr tatner
gave her a note to Professor and
sent her off to find out That scientist
answered the query as follows:
"Temperament Is an Individual ten
dency to the rise of a certain mental
state."
Father and daughter nTestled with
that a little while, and then applied to
a second member of tho scientific group
for'help.
No. 2 called temperament "an en
semble of physical and mental traits
arising from fundamental constitution
al differences In Individuals."
This put the little girl's father com
pletely at sea. So No. 3 was tried.
Ills Judgment was that "temperament
Is the psychic resultant of the whoIj
organic life of tho Individual."
By this time, says the Washington
Star, hope was abandoned. But when
No. 4 volunteered to make It clear thu
family spirits revived. "Temperament
Is a general disposition or the mind,"
he wrote, "the distinctions of whlcn
depend on the dominance of ouo or thu
other of tho physiological systems."
And now the family dictionary Is worn
