Forgot His Sweetheart.
Doctor Brandes, the Danish man of letters, who recently visited this country, tells a curious story of himself, says the Chicago News. At the very moment he had appointed to keep a tryst with his sweetheart he was deep in Hegel.
"With a passionate desire to reach a comprehension of the truth, I grappled with the 'system,' began with the encyclopedia, read the three volumes of 'Aesthetics,' the 'Phenomenology of the Mind,' then the 'Philosophy of Law' again, and finally the logic, the natural philosophy and the philosophy of the mind in a veritable intoxication of comprehension and delight."
The lamentable sequel was that he forgot all about the young girl to whom he had to say good-by.
