They Set Up . Day Nursery at Sea-
aide Resort and Do q Paying "a
:, Business.

Two enterprising Los Angeles girls
who wanted to earn some money and te
have a summer outing this year alons
with the process have thought up o
clever scheme, and are making it pay be-
yond their widest expectations, al
though they have been established but
two weeks, reports the New York Com
mercial of recent date.
Both of them know something abou'
kindergarten work and are fond OF chill
dren, SO they rented large tent, pitchet
it on the sands, at popular resort along
with the snake charmer, the fat woman
the toy railroad and the rest of the side
shows. They had no flooring put in thu
tent, but made it attractive with festoon'
of seaweed, kelp and shells. On the SAINT
they spread heavy rug or two, heaps o.
pillows and hassock cushions, covered
with gay wash cases, added two small
bamboo screens, behind which are con
cealed more pillows on rugs, and in two
great trunks they keep all the rest Oh
the accessories necessary to their enter
prise,
Then they hung out their sign. Day

some charges to the tent shelter; giddy
young aunts going fishing with their

little ones left.
Now, when fond parents want to &C
off for the day they take Johnnie y

proprietors. 1--WE are not only making

Might Mad Woman.

A cable train was scooting down State
street as fast as the wire rope could drag it.
The gripman was rafting off 'Hiawatna"
on the gong, and just ahead a woman, who
was almost as broad as she was tall, had
leased the hold on the cable and switched
from 'Hiawatha" to a breakdown jig,
but the woman never stirred. The
next instant the street car Jumped" the
preempted claim in the street, and
$50 pounds of mighty mad woman
was taking a ride on the fender The grip
man stopped the cable train, leaped over
the dashboard of the car, and expected to
find dead woman. But she wasn't dead.
Indeed, she was sitting there adjusting
her hat. When she caught sight of the grip
man she ground her teeth together, leaned
forward, shook her fist at him, and said:
Blame you, anyhow" A minute later she
was up and away without saying another
word.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

N~THEN Lord Salisbury died
AYASH there passed away not
NeNN merely a great statesman
EAQA{ and a commanding person
Y GU atty, but the last of the dis
tinguished group of dipIo-
matists of European reputation who
made modern Europe. Beaconsfield,
Gladstone, Russell, Bismarck, Gorts-
chakoff, Crispi and Andrassy-these
were his contemporaries, and one looks
for successors with such wide-reach-
ing influence.
The great influence welded by Lord
Salisbury in a democratic age and
through the medium of system with
which he had scant sympathy is a
striking illustration of the power ex-
ercised by high character, lofty mo-
tives and ardent patriotism. Without
any of the f1exibility of political con-
viction which distinguished Mr.. Glad
stone, and wholly devoid of the arts of
the demagogue which often temporar-
lily command public success, Lord Sal
isbury yet managed to find following
at the polls larger than any English
statesman ever enjoyed before, and to
secure a degree of confidence at the
hands of the nation which has scarce
ly any parallel. His great rival, Glad

stone, had stronger personal follow
ing it is very likely, but Lord Sails
bury's strength lay in the confidence
which he inspired when any interna
tional question arose.
He was the survivor of day Shen
the grand manner ruled in politics and
great personages steered the ships of
state. He had witnessed the last great
dramas of European history, and was
regarded as a sort of Nestor ripe with
wisdom, rich in experience and, above
all, imbued with that great sense of
responsibility which is SO conspicu-
ously absent from the mediocritles
produced by the present democratic
regime in England.
There have been greater names in
English history than that of Lord
Salisbury, but no minister could ever
point to so favorable a condition of the
country and the empire as that which
attended his administration. He was
scarcely a reformer, and was never an
enthusiast for the new Imperialism,
and yet the people prospered and the
empire became more and more of
constructive statesman he was seen at
his best in foreign affairs. and he was
most in his element, says a we'll

study international problems"
He embarked upon politics the inner

Born on February Is, 1880, Lord
Robert Cecil was the second son of the
second marquis, who was himself
statesman of some note. having twice
held office as cabinet minister. He
went to Elton and to Oxford, and took
his B. A. in 1S49. He did not offer him

WORLD MARCH OF ENGLISH.
Larger Number of People Speak the
Language Than Any Other in
Europe or America.

There is no reason for surprise at the
announcement that the English Ian
guage is to be the medium employed at
The Hague court in the coming arbitra-
ton of the Venezuelan dispute. OF
course, the two big English speaking
countries, England and the United
States, are among the parties which are
interested in the adjudication. Ger
many, Italy, Venezuela and one or two
other countries are also partners in the
controversy. When the Samoan dispute
between England, Germany and the
United States was dealt with in treaty
the language which was used instead of
French, and the new departure caused
some surprise at the time.
But there is less cause for wonder at
the conquest which the English tongue
makes in The Hague courts delibera-
lions of 1908, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The number of persons
using this language has greatly in
creased, relatively to the other tongues,
since the, Samoan settlement was made

A larger number of people speak the
English language than use any other
tongue spoken in Europe or on the
American continent, for though Rus
STA has as many inhabitants as the
United States and the United Kingdom
combined, there are many millions OF
them who are unable to speak the Rus

A. L. I. Excursion.

The excursion of the Alexandria Light
Infantry to River View tomorrow,
promises to be one of the most enjoyable
outings of the season. The absence of
the Alexandria soldiers at the behest of
their State, and at a great sacrifice
of pleasure and money, should not de-
tract from the attendance. The money
derived from the excursion is to be used
in some important work the men have
in hand, and it is believed that the
attendance will be large. Music, dane
ing and all the other attractions will be
ready to give pleasure, and Wizard Heer,
the bicycle magician, will be an addi-
tional attraction. His performance is
simply wonderful. The steamer Pent'
will leave Reardon's wharf at 1920 a
M, 2:45 and 7:15p. m. Tickets will b.
25 cents for adults and 10 cents for chill
dren, and can be had in the drug stores
and at the wharf tomorrow.
