II He Had Not Discovered America
the Spaniards Would Have
Had No Trouble.

One OF the most delightfully."- humorous as.
poets of our late antagonists is their utter
absence of a sense of humor. Some Ameri-
can jester having predicted that when the
Spaniards got through with the war they
would repudiate Christopher Columbus for
having ever discovered America, the Madrid
journals are verifying the prediction by as.
sorting with truly Iberian profundity that
Cristobal Colon has turned out to be the
evil genius of Spain.
1t is evident that if the old mariner had
been content with staying in the Mediter-
ranean and had not gone about bothering
monarchs to furnish him the means of dis
covering the new world Spain would have
no colonies, and having none she could not
lose them. cts i'll taking the treeks off a
H;elander," says the Scotch proverb, and by
the same logic, if it had not been for the
mischievous activity of Columbus Spain
would have been thoroughly guarded against
such disasters as have now befallen her.
But even upon the Spanish method of
reasoning-that Columbus was at fault and
not the ages of plumber and cruelty which
have wiped out the Spanish ownership OF
nearly half the world-our Madrid friends
forget that Columbus gave them three cen
turtles of squeezing the colonies that fol-
lowed his discoveries in South America, and
four in Cuba and Porto Rico. Inasmuch as
Columbus was thrown into disfavor and
prison while he lived, we should say that
the balance between him and Spain was
still in his favor.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

AN EARLY SCHOOLMASTER.
Taught Dutch Children in
Manhattan In 1888.

Education in Greater New York, with
its vast and carefully organized public
schools and multitude of famed cole
giate institutions, had very humble be-
ginnings.
The first schoolmaster on Manhattan
island, in 1858, was Adam Roelantsen,
anindiferentcharacter, always getting
into trouble, who eked out the small
pittance he received from teaching by
taking in washing. In 1912 he had
house built for him on the north side of
present Stone street (then an unpaved
road). between Whitehall and Broad
streets. This house. evidently 4 pre-
tentious one for its day, was next door
but one to Magistrate Oloff Stevense
Van Cortland's brewery, and cost S14o.
It was 80 feet long. IS feet wide and
eight feet high, was we'll and tightly
clapboarded and matched. The floors
were tight and made of clapboards. and
it had two doors. one entry. one pantry,
bedstead, a mantelpiece and a stair
case to the garnet. Curiously enough,
the upper part of the chimneys were
made of wood. Notwithstanding the
fact that, he came over free of passage
money and freight of his trunk, ''be-
cause he said the prayers" Roelantsen
was "banished forever out of this coun-
try" in 1916. But, inasmuch as he had
four small motherless children and a
cold winter was approaching, he was
allowed to remain in New Amsterdam
until the following spring.-N. Y. Com.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
your water, and let itstand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder. are out of order.
What to do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder, and every part of the urinary
passage. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or
bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
You may have sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery and book that
tells more aboutit, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Address DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. X. When writing be
sure and mention that you read this
generous offer in this paper.

GROWTH OF CITY TRAVEL,
Some Curious Changes That Follow
Upon Improved Means of
Transportation.

One of the curious and always inter-
esting things about city travel, natural
enough though it may be, is the great
increase in travel along any line follow
ing promptly upon any great improve
ment in the means of transportation.
Thus, if one stands now on any one of a
number of avenues in the city he may
see passing twice as many cars as were
there only a very few years ago, the
new cars twice as big as the old ones
and moving twice as fast, and at busy
hours of the day and on holidays he will
see these cars crowded with people just
as the fewer little old cars were former
ly at such times. Twice the traffic or
more seems to have followed the
doubling of the transportation says the
New York Sun.
Of course the town is growing all the
time and improved means of transport
tation carries population with it in the
city just as it does in the country: and
with fine cars to ride in and wide lati-
tude in transfers, the travel for recrea-
ton is increased enormously. But still
to anybody familiar with the old, little.
plodding horse cars and the streets and
avenues through which they ran, it is
for the moment at least, if not amazing,
curious and interesting to see the new
big cars rushing by, all the time crowd
ed, and along lines where people in COM
paratively scanty numbers were car
ried before; and even at second thought,
indeed, it is still a wonder where all the
people come from.

Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-

weather delays the cure of catarrh. 1t

have enjoyed ourselves if it hadn't been for
the head clerk. He was one of breed that

haughly, disdainful potentate, who con-
sidered it beneath his dignity to show the
slightest courtesy to any of the guests of

will confirm, was a polished man of the
world, totally careless of money, never COM
planning, but accustomed to punctilious
service. He bumped against the majestic
ruler of the register several times and en-
dured his affronts in silence. At last he told
me quietly to secure quarters at another
hotel, which I was only too glad to do.
reported that arrangements had been made,
and he went down to settle our account.
What is our bill, Mr.. King?' he asked
suavely. My names not King snapped the

amount. Coup took out his pocketbook.
