FORTY IS THE IDEAL AGE.
Women Know Much at Two-Score ant
 Have Not Lost Their Charms.

Have Not Lost Their Charms.
 When a woman reaches the age of 40 she has attained the prime of her mental and physical perfection. It was a French man who remarked not long ago that a woman past 40 should either take the veil or be abolished. Miss Janet Achurch, the well-known actress, rather inclined to the former view in g. lecture which she delivered at the Pnaros club in Lon- don on The Woman of 40 or There abouts." The woman who has passed the confines of youth. said the lecturer. has come to be regarded as Of much greater importance than she was. say, twenty years ago. The changes in her status can best be seen by consulting the nove,ists. From the period of Fielding to that of Thackeray the girl of F was always the center of attraction and she always disappeared after her wedding day. After Thackeray came the long innings of the woman of 30.
 The woman of 40 ought to be happiest Of women. She has peculiar privileges possessed by no other woman. She Is not troubled with anxiety like her younger sisters at crossing the borderland of youth. Her future is more clearly de- nned-for at 70 has she not chosen and settled down in her career. irrevocably chosen, too, her man? Loneliness Is bogy. Remorse Is the only thing she need beware of If she has a profession she Is at her best at 70. She can act better. paint better and write better. In conclusion Miss Achurch thought that the age of % should be looked forward to as an inheritance rather than dreaded by every woman.

THE FIRST PANToMIME.
The English Borrowed the Art from
 the Italians.

Golden Penny.
 Most pantomlme characters were origin ally bortowed from the Italians. Tho first real English pantomime was pro- duced at a theater in Lincoln's Inn Fields In 172o It was called Harlequin Exc cuted, and its subtitle was "A New Italian Comic Scene Between Scara- mouche, a Ear.lnquin, @ Country Farm CT, His Wife and Others" The perform ance was very successful. About the middle of the eighteenth century the character of pantomlme performances was completely altered, chiefly because of the genius of the famous Grinaldi, who made the clown the first figure in the pantomime. Grimaldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells Theater, where he played the part of a monkey. He was actively engaged on the stage for forty-nne years. ana at the close of his career he took a benefit at Drury Lane Theater. which realized nearly 500 pounds. He also re- ceived 100 pounds from the Drury Lane Fund This was in June, 1928 He died in 1887, and was buried in the churchyard of St. James Chapel, Pentonville Hill.

The Mckinley Policy.

~AO ~AASAAAhAoy 4OAASys
 In that were proof. if proof. indeed. had been lacking. that Bingham had not been removed for violating the spirit of civil service reform. The President distinctly recognizes without adverse comment that other Federal officials had participated actively in politics without detriment. He also recalls the fact that Mir. Bvrne had been originally appointed bv Mir. Me Kinley. even though MT. Addicks. who had helped to renominate and re-elect MT. Mckinley. may or may not have been his friend. In that. therefore. MT. Roose- welt was merely carrying ont the policy of Mir. Mckinley. and at the same time rewarding services to himself. For Byrna had been stanch supporter of the President when he ran for Governor and afterward." There is nothing in that assertion intimating that Mir Byrne will be expected to insure MT Addickss x stanch support of the President for re- election. Against that tntimation are these words;
 'I was a candidate for the nomination for the Presidency in 1904. have been eliminated. and am not now in any sense. a candidate'
 The Presidents anxiety about the cleo tions in New York and Pennsylvania was directly traceable to the stringent condl- lions in the anthracite coal region threat ening to pervert at the polls the Republi- can party and it's packers. These had heen so intense that earlier in October the President of the United States had made to the President of the United Mine Workers who was leading the strike. the following revolutionary proposition:
 'If Mir. Mitchell will secure the imme- diate return to work of the miners in the anthracite regions the President will at once appoint a commission to investigate thoroughly into all the matters at issue between the operators and miners. and will do all within his power to obtain a settlement of those questions in accord ance with the report of the commission ' Exercise of Executive Power. The President of the United States may have the right to appoint a commission to investigate the strike. But 1t Is oues- tionable whether he has either the legal or the moral right virtually to promise to use the weight of his offlce to obtain settlement of the questions at iasne m accordance with the renort of a commits Eon not ct the time in existence.

gality Of these acts, the attorney gen
eral says: THE presentation having

that is, within twenty days in which
work might lawfully be performed
his alleged reason for yetOing is nc
reason at all, in legal sense. This
principle is recognized by the supreme

subject Of even plausible controversy
The inconsistency Of the action Of the
governor in approving some Of the
bills and yetoing others all presented
at the same time, is manifest He
had no right to approve unless he
had the right TO yeto if he vetoed q
part Of them because he had honestly
regarded them as not presented in

approved some because he favored
them and vetoed others because he
did not FAVOR them he should, had il
