The History Of Z KRocker
By 5. Z. RISER.

A knocker knocked through all his
life; when but a child al play
He knocked the little ones who helped
him while the time away
At school he knocked the other boys,
and when he older grew
He knocked the fellows whom the
girls smiled at as maidens do.
He never had a pleasing word TO say
OF anyone
Who wasn't present when he spoke,
he gave good cheer to none;
He rose up from his bed to knock. he
knocked through all the day.
Al night he knocked and piousIy fell
on his knees 10 pray
One day he knocked upon a gate-St.
Peter sat inside:
why come you hereg' the gray saint
asked The man who knocked
replied:
q never killed. I never stole, I never
even swoTe,
I always said my prayers each day;
please let me in. therefore.
You cannot come. replied the saint;
but many leagues below
You'll fed another gate 10 which i'm
mense crowds daily go;
I care not that you never stole. nor
that you prayed each day
Down there no knocker ever knocked
and then was turned away

Childhood Is the sprinetime Of life. The infant
days are devoted the development of the primitive.
The strong foundation for the after structure must be
laid IN tie first days. The mind Is plastic and does not

SPANISH WOMAN SUBORDINATE
AS A SOCIAL FACTOR

Woman n Spain has had no part in
the emancipation OF he sex that has
taken place in most European coun-
tries in the last century, says a writer
in the "Fortnightly Review" ''As fac
tor in social life she stands entirely in
the background; man has the predomi-
nart influence, and the position Of
woman is an entirely subordinate one.
To the foreigner The first sign of this is
visible in the absence Of that easy. and
homeIy spirit of hospitality prevalent in
other countries. and which owes so much

this matter the ideas Of the sDanIard re-
tain a favor OF OrientaIism which the
progress OF the time and the general
advance Of civilization around him have
been unbIe TO dissipate. He possesses
what we should call most limited views
as to the sphere in which woman should
move. He thinks that d good wife
should have no interests which may de-
tract her from the duties of her hos Sc
hold. and hence these duties-the chief
among them being the care and bring
ing up of cdldren-form the chief &C
cupation Of the Spanish lady
ANY unusual development OF intel
lect in woman is held by public oDin-
ion TO be nfeminine. and the proportion
OF intellectual women in Spain is re-
markedly small The majority Of Span

THE HAITIAN SITUATION

German gunboat Panther was war

AIN ALIBI In A CIVIL SUIT
DEFENSE MADE BY H TERRE
HAUTE BREWING COMPANY.
A Woman whose Husband Is I'm the
P-oorhouse Gets a D~ivorce-Other
Court Cases.

In criminal cases the plea of an alibi is
frequently the line OF defense. but il is sell
dom that such a defense IS set up in a civil
suit. This unusual circumstance, however,
happened in Judge Leathers's court yester-
day afternoon in a damage suit against the
Terre Haute Brewing Company. Ethel
Farley was run dow by a team Of horses
at Maryland and Delaware streets one Sat
urday evening last March and the response
bility was placed on the Terre Haute Brew
ing Company. The complaint alleges that
it was one OF the company's teams that ran
over her.
The defense sprung a surprise in the aft
ernoon by attempting 70 prove an alibi. The
company placed witnesses on the stand to
show that at the time OF the accident all of
its teams were in the stable and their
drivers had gone home. The company en-
ploys five team drivers. and these were all
brought into court 10 testify. They said
they got in about 3 O'Clock. put their teams
away, settled with the boOkkeeper and
were nome shortly after S o'clock. The ac-
cident happened about s o'clock at night.
None OF the witnesses for the plaintiff
could state positively whether the wagon
and team belonged to the Terre Haute
Brewing Company. one woman said she
saw the words "Terre Haute' and Com
pany,' but that was all. A man who saw
the accident stated that he saw the words
Ierre Haute' on the wagon and that it
belonged 10 the brewing company. The
driver Of the wagon, Immediately after the
accident. whipped up his horses and got out
OF the way before he was identified. The
case Will hang on this particular point.
