A FUNERAL HYMN.
Comments Of the Spanish Press
Upon the Protocol.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mali says:
ne comments of the press on the pro-
tocol are a veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction of Spanish colonial en-
pire. Some days ago the desire tor
peace made the people close their eyes
to the price. but now, upon reading the
protocol, they realize that the cost is
the loss of that empire which Spain
had conquered with so much glory, and
that Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned, and there is general mourning.

1900. He refused all offers OF public
employment made by Napoleon, OPP
posed the assumption by the latter OF
the life consulate and the imperial ti-

restoration OF 1914 Lafayette became
vice-president of the assembly. He re-

posed the reactionary policy Of the re-

In 1924 he was an honored visitor OF

who. fifty years before, had shed hi6
blood in defense of the infant liDer-

a township Of land and a gift of $780,

his republican principles, and no man
ever questioned his absolute sincerity
and sterling honesty. He died at Paris,
May 20, 1894, ten years after he made

This is the simple story told by the
biographers of this great friend of free

miles of our city and who was an hon

Parents Are Unfair to Teachers.

That existing methods of educating
the young fall short Of the ideal there
is scarcely any question. The most
prominent educators of the land admit
this fact. Every effort is undoubted-
" made to better prevailing systems.
But the fight is single-handed. As
teachers and educators constantly say:
1--WE are alone; parents give us no as
sistance. They do not even give us
the benefit of ordinary interest" And
this is Fundamentally true. Par
ents are all too lax about the methods
pursued in educating their children.
In hundreds of cases they do not even
know what the methods are. They
know nothing about them. There Is
no cooperation of the parent with the
teacher. However much we may be
able TO improve modern methods of ed
ucation, the best results to our chill
dren cannot be reached until parent
and teacher shall come into closer re-
lations than they are at present.

The tan shoe, so far as woman is
concerned, has about had its day, OBJ
serves a Philadelphia paper. For the
last two or three years it has held its
own over all other summer wear, but
this year finds its popularity on the
wane. Like everything else in life,
the tan shoe has its good and its bad
points. 1t does not show dust and
mud like other shoes, andis admirably
adapted to country and seaside wear,
but there is something in the dress
ing of tan leather which draws SEN
sitive feet into almost doubled and
twisted bowknots. Perhaps this is the
reason that so many women have dis
carded tan shoes for plain black or
linen-covered canvas boots and ties
this season. At any rate, swell boot
makers say that the tan shoe does not
occupy the place in the estimation of
womankind that it once did, and CHR
opodists and bootblacks, who profited
by this fashion, are mourning its de-
parture.-St. Louis Republic.
