stricted

otis Hall in February. The income tax was
under discussion, and 1t was the decision OF
the judges that in view Of the arguments
advanced by the Georgetown adherents the
United States government should levy an
income tax.
The debate of tomorrow evening will be
upon the subject: Resolved That the Unit
ed States Government Should Annex the
Hawaiian Islands"

RESCUED HER BABY.
A MothevTs Wonderful Self Control Saves
tho Life of Her Little Girl.


A little child rescued in drowning
condition from the bottom of q deep
we'll by her mother is the incident that
excited the residents of Green Lake last
week.
The three children of John L. San
dell, who lives in comfortable home
three-quarters of mile east of the lake,
were playing in the yard week ago
yesterday. All were girls, two of them
and years old respectively, and the
youngest little tot not quite 2. Near
the house is an 18 foot we'll, with water
in it two feet deep, tho entrance to
which was surrounded by frail picket
fence. The children in their play pulled
and tugged at this railing until finally
it gave way, and before the older girls
could comprehend what had happened
their little sister, going too far, had
fallen into the we'll and was struggling
on the black surface Of the water & feet
below.
The children at once called to their
mother, who was alone inside the house.
Mrs. Sandell, Mortified, ran to the curb,
but could see nothing but the yawning
cavern that held her child. She thought
of ladder at the barn 150 feet away,
and without losing a seconds time she
brought it to the well, but it was only
10 feet long. She realized that desper-
ate chances had to be taken, for the
child had already lain in the water sew
eral seconds, and few more meant that
its life would be gone. She dropped the
ladder in an agony Of fear lest the ends
should strike the baby dead. The in
stant it had settled in place she forced
herself through the narrow aperture at
the top, measured momentarily with
her eye the distance to the ladder
against the wall six feeet underneath
and dropped. By chance that seemed
miraculous she caught it squarely, and,
balancing herself, instantly descended
to the bottom Of the we'll. There she
found the child unconscious. 1t had
been in the water at least three minutes
and was almost dead.
Mrs. Sandell lifted the helpless in
FAINT and climbed to the top Of the lad
der, at the same time calling to the
children above to run for help. While
they were gone she repeatedly rolled the
babe upon her own body, forcing from
it the water it had swallowed until she
was gladdened with signs of returning
life.
1t was half an hour before the chill
dren returned, and when they came
back they brought Otto Aura, an en-
ployee of tho Fremont mill. He obtain
ed from a neighboring house anothep
ladder long enough to reach to the bot
tom of the we'll, and in few minutes
had helped both mother and child to
safety above - Seattle Post-Intelli-

SAVED a LITTLE GIRLS LIFE.

Harvard Student Rescues Child From
Death by an Electric Car In Cambridge.
A signal instance of courage and
quickness Of thought, which undoubted-
ly saved the life of little child, occur
red in Cambridge on Friday evening.
Shortly before p. IN. fremont
House electric car was passing along
Main street at very rapid rate. Near
Windsor street little girl apparently
about 8 years of age, ran from the side
walk toward the track. The motorman
quickly shut off che current and put on
the brake. Then the child paused, and
the motorman released the car
Just as the car had regained its mo-
mentum the child, through some strange
impulse, darted forward to cross the
track. The motorman was almost
breathless with horror There was no
time to stop The car, and the toddling
infant seemed doomed.
Suddenly tall, athletic young man
sprang from his scat at the end Of the
front row, assd grasping the curved han
die on the dasher of the car with his
right hand swung himself out on the
fender. just as the car was about to
crush the little girl under its wheels he
seized her firmly by the waist.
1t was trying moment TO the nerves
Of the passengers and motorman. 1t
seemed for an instant as If both man
and child would fall in front Of the
fender. But by an almost convulsive
effort the rescuer lifted the little girl
from the track and laid her on her back
at one side out of the reach of the
wheels.
So great was the strain upon him that
as soon as tho child was released he him
self fell forward on the fender, and
only an unusual degree of agility en-
abled him to scramble up on his knees
and back to his seat Ill the car.
The whole thing was done in an in
slant. Tho motorman, pale with fright,
was only Able to look his thanks.
The hero of tho affair was the most
composed person on the car. He at once
sought rear seat to avoid attention,
merely remarking to the motorman as
he passed: "Gsd Why don't you get
out of this?"
A passenger said that the young man
was q Harvard student who resides on

RElGNING FAMILIES.

America Has Its sUncommon People, and
They Are Our "fsoyal Families"
In discussing the family squabbles of
one of the reigning families of New
York, Mr. Ward McAllister, as the rec
ognized authority on everything which
concerns the uncommon people, says
that the trouble is doubtless over and the
family probably entertaining some for
eign prince at their house on the
Thames. ="
Why not? Are not our royal families
as good as those of Europe, Of Asia, of
Africa OF anywhere else where royal
families are tolerated?
Mr.. McAllister will undoubtedly
agree with us that they certainly are.
It makes no great difference how power
over man is Observation-Disclosures by the
force and brutality which made princes
in more primitive times or by modern
methods. The result is the same in any
event.
1t is just as honorable and glorious
thing to accumulate hundred million
unearned dollars and thereby master the
bodies and subjugate the minds of 10,-
600, 900 men as it is to do the same
thing by virtue of controlling million
bayonets On either hand it is power
usurped from the people to dwarf and
main their minds and souls for the
greater glory of their masters.
Our royal families need not stand
back for those of Europe or of any other
country. Their right to reign is as good,
their blood is as good, and their man.
ners though sometimes indecent when
measured by ordinary standards Of de-
cency, are even better than those which
characterize the most courtly courts of
the world.
When our reigning families go to
Europe and buy the palaces Of the effete
survivors of decayed feudalism, it is
condescension to entertain the former
owners, and it would be condescension
still if it were done in the servants
hall instead of the salon. New York

of the United States. Since the close of
the last century the school excursion, in
one form or another, has been growing
in popularity in Germany, and today
it forms regular feature of perhaps the
majority OF the elementary schools Of
that country.
The school excursion offers the most
favorable opportunity for introducing
the child into many branches Of knowl-
edge, for the reason that, by means Of
outings, tho pupil may be brought in
direct contact with various phases of
nature and the works of man. And in
deed the locality is exceptionally unfa-
vorable where an abundance of material
may not be found for instructing the
child in geography, history and the
natural sciences.
In Germany this broad study Of the
environment is recognized as distinct
branch of knowledge, known as die
heimathskunde (homeology), and as
such is included in the curriculum Of
the first thrce years Of the elementary
schools. DIR. j. NJ. Rice in Forum.
