1t was simple. Her lover, Ludwig by
name, had come to America a year or SO
ago. She had followed him at his behest,
he to make a home for her here.
Ludwig met her at the barge office.
Lena was so glad to see him she jumped
up and down and threw her arms about
him. Ludwig was less, enthusiastic. He
had become too much imbued with Amer
lean ideas and customs. He preferred the
chic American servant girls. They were
so different from the frauleins of the old
country. He was appalled, at the prospect
of walking up Broadway with this coun-

TOO QUICK FOR HIM
Mrs. Thomas Girling Whips Up Her
Horse and Escapes Highwavman I

- Mrs. Thomas Girling Of Robbinsdale had
a narrow escape from a highwayman at
a lonely spot on the road between Mime
apolis and Robbinsdale Monday night and
but for her presence of mind, she would
undoubtedly have lost her purse, which
contained a considerable sum of money
AS it was she left the htghwayman lying
In the road while she pursued her way
home, badly frightened but unframed.
Mrs. Girling was driving home in the
evening with her small daughter AS she
approached a narrow place In the road
where bushes grow high on either side,
a man darted out and attempted to catch
the reins of the horse. Mrs. Girling saw
his purpose and struck the horse a sharp
blow with her whip. The animal sprang
forward, knocking the highwayman down.
The wheels passed over his postrate form.
Looking back, Mrs. Girling saw the man
lying in the road and later told some men
what had occurred. "A search was made
but the highwaynnan had evidently recov-
cred sufficiently to- be able to get away.

Stand by the Little Teacher.

i The school medical examiners have
made a report to the Chicago board of ed
ucation that is bound to cause a fuss. 1t
is a report distinctly in favor Of the fat
teacher! In word, teachers who are
neither bulky nor towering enough tc
command the fear or respect of their pu-
pills are. disqualified under the proposed
physical requirements.
The report has raised a storm. Mrs
Sherman, a teacher, said that under the
rules Napoleon, would be barred, but
Trustee Harris replied: .~

mites of men, those tiny .jumpabouts
who are often found in the school room

Mrs Sherman, but it is not applicable
to the women. The little, dark-eye6
women teachers can command as much

Mrs. Sherman is right. We, stand by

to her, the better pleased we are. She
may not weigh $50 pounds and breathe sc
loud that you can hear her across the

A Step Forward.

The board of tax levy before adjourn
ing adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That this board is opposed to
the system of monthly fine of houses of
prostitution as heretofore prevailing, and
that in all estimates, of receipts from
various sources in the municipal court,
these fines be excluded.
That resolution makes long step for
ward in the morals OF local government
in Minneapolis. Out.of the forty Ameri-
can cities with a population of more than
100000, only five, including Minneapolis.
have been in the practice of licensing the
social evil, a vice that is considered so
dangerous to public morals that the laws
Of Minnesota make it a felony. Hereto
fore Minneapolis, by an indirect license
system, has been collecting $4,000 a year
from the keepers of vile houses. The
people would stand aghast at a PROPOSE
ton to license such a crime and evil, but
in effect it has for years been licensed in
Minneapolis. The municipal court fines
have been used not as means of punish
ing or exterminating crime, but a
means Of licensing and protecting it.
- Mayor. Jones was so evidently right
i
that when the members Of the; board
found that one of their number had the
/ courage to speak, out, they could not re-
sist his appeal, Notwithstanding that
$4,000 was good deal of money to a
board that was trying to pound down the
tax rate.
1t was simply a question Of Clean
handed government as against dirty
money, and the former prevailed. Thus,
with scarcely an effort, Minneapolis has
been relieved of a standing shame.
We hope and believe that no succeeding
administration will dare to go back to the
horrible system of municipal .'grafting''
on the social evil. We are not undertak-
ing to suggest any plan of measurement of
this problem to the present Or any city
administration. But 1T Is good to see an
immoral and vicious plan abolished. Bet
ter none than such a one. g., -. X.
