Educated Woman
and MdtrimOny.

The London School Board makes
official compl Amt that "the average
professional life of the women teach
ers is only eleven years, because of
the havoc wrought by matrimony
among this remarkably attractive
class of the community" New York
and other cities have called on the
courts to compel a woman teacher
to give up her school as soon as she
marries. Cnicago contemplates re-
quiring all teachers to sign pledge
that they will not marry during the
school year. The Agricultural Col.
lege of Colorado reports that 1t edu-
Gates girls for teachers, and then
they marry as soon as they are grad.
lted. The Government is trying to
discourage matrimony by discharg'
ing the guilty woman employee.
Oae class mourns because educat'
ing women will destroy their taste
for marriage, another class grievei
because the educated women insist
on marrying; a third class insists that
going into business will make wo
man so unattractive that she cannot
marry, and.a fourth declares that she
shall be punished if she does. Oh
the JOY, the independence, in being
a man, for in his conjugal affairs th'
world neither cares nor dares to med

Woman Hits the Mark.

Not long since in this city of Belle
fontaine there was a wedding. Be
fore the wedding there was the usual
preparations, chicken salad to be
made ready etc, etc. At the rear
of the house a neighbor's dog stole
one of the chickens which was to be
prepared for the salad. All at once
there was screaming from the women
brooms fiourished, and great running
after the dog. At last one of the
women threw her broom at the dog
and hit-the dog?-not a bit of it
She hit another woman, knocked her
senseless, and the woman was uncon-
scious for half an hour. This is a
true story.
Moral, Get out of the way when a
woman comes toward you with a
broomstick.

''Mary is "a years old Mary is
twice as old as Ann was when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. How old is
Ann?- There il is-that's the Mary
Ann problem upon which so many
are figuring. There has already been
many solutions presented to and
printed by newspapers of the country.
Inasmuch as Hon. Tom Johnson likes
to have people fire questions at him
when he is addressing political audi
ence somebody might appeal to him

EN-. II would be no more impertin-
ent than to ask him why he doesn'
pay his taxes. Furthermore all ques-
tions coming up at this time are sup
posed to be given a political turn. so
as to have them settled by the stump
speakers. Perhaps Mary and Ann
might be made the subjects of a joint

Too Close For Comfort.

Mr.. John Johnson, who lives about
two miles from Middleburg came
very near shooting his wife, Monday
morning. He took up gun, without
a fear of It's being loaded, because he
had always cautioned his son about
leaving a load in when he put a gun
away. Lifting the gun the hammer
struck the table and the gun went
of and the bullet whizzed foot from
the ear of his wife who was standing
near him

party

THE political move that is consider
ed all important this fall was the kiss
and make up of the factions of the
Republican party in Cuyahoga. and
it Is believed that the embrace will
defeat Tom l. Johnson in his own
county. The leader of the McKisson
faction, Minor G. Norton is to have a
desk at the headquarters of the Re
publican Committee and he will have
joint direction of the campaign, and
the Hanna men have agreed to give
that faction certain state and loCal
patronage in case of victory. Fifty
McKission men ratified the agree
ment, but say they will work against
Hanna and Herrick, at the first in
dication of treachery.

informed his father that il the boy was
not sent on an ocean cruise or to the far
West he would die of consumption. Ac-
cordingly the father put him aboard
ship, with $1400 in cash and started him
off to Samaria, being advised that the
dry country between the River Jordan
and the Mediterranean was food for con-
sumptives. When he reachad Queens
town the boy made the acquaintance OF
hard-headed, sensible chap, who told
him that Samaria was sure death; that
the only way to save his lungs was to go
to Wicklow county, near .Tinanely, and
set to work on farm. The advice was
taken, and for nine months the scion of
Back Bay aristocracy did chores for a
man who owned castle. At the end Of
that period he was as lusty as bull

ATHENA, JANUARY 2, 1908

We have not yet got free trade with
the Philippines, but we are in way to
get. it. AT present; products OF the
Philippines entering the home ports pay
rs per cent Of the Dingley rates, while
our products entering the Philippines
pay the full rates of the Philippine
tariff. All duties collected in our Gus
tom houses on Philippine products are
paid into the Philippine treasury. The
United States does not receive one cent
Of taxes from Philippine commerce, nor
do our products have the slightest ad
vantage over the products OF other coun-
tries in the Philippine markets. A bill
has just passed the house of representa-
tives reducing the duties on Philippine
products to 25 per cent Of DINGHY rates,
the other conditions remaining as now.
The effect Of this measure, il it becomes
law, will be to greatly increase our i'm
portations from the Philippines per-
haps without injury to the Philippine
treasury. In fact, it is probable that 70
per cent of DINGHY rates on the goods
which will be imported will yield more
than rs per cent collected on. the guam
tity which is imported now. There is no
reason for imposing any duty whatever
on the commerce between this country
and the Philippines The islands are
now as much part Of the United States
as is Alaska or Arizona. An awful pro-
test would be raised il an attempt were
made to impose duty on commerce be-
tween California and Arizona, though 1t
would be as nearly justifiable as the
Philippine tariff. Congress and the su-
preme court have decided theislands be-
long to this country, hence there is
neither sense nor justice in putting up
tariff wall around them or preventing
the freest intercourse between the two
countries, truthfully rays the Times
