The Woman of Thirty.

Keith Clark, In The Reader for September.
When one knows the age of a woman one
knows the woman. The very fact thai she
permits you to know her age exposits her
character. She no longer masquerades. She
has lost certain uncertainty, an evanes-
cent delicacy, that was irresistible charm.
Women. like philosophy, are divided into
two classes-the movable and the un-
movable. Also like philosophy, it is the
unknowable woman who is the Speculate.
Therefore, to get her at her highest ca
pacity, she must be unmarried and about
thirty.
The married woman presents certain in
escapable tell-tale data. She has children,
and those children nave apparent ages, two
facts which go far in determining her
annals. If she is unmarried and is not
about thirty she is under thirty, again
a definite fact. Being "about thirty" Is in
definite. She may be more or less. No one
hazards a guess. There is a delightful
vagueness in being "about thirty" 1t has
nothing TO do with dates; and many of us
who from our youth up have felt no attach
ment for dates can forgive the unattached
their confessed indifference.

Should Have Been Credited to
The School Fund.

During the progress of the civil
war the state used large am cunt
of money drawn from the school
fund to equip its quotas of troops
for service, and as the general gov
eminent reimbursed the state for
these expenses it had thus incurred
the amounts received were general
ly, and should always have been
placed to the credit Of the school
fund. The last, and as we under
stand the final lamount, was received
about a year ago-$458,697. This
amount was turned into the treasury
and is to be used for the general ex-
penses. This sum should have been
credited to the school fund instead
of being used by the administration
to reduce the state levy for the sake
of appearance. The sagacity Of this
administration seems to be directed
with an eye single to the political
situation rather than to the business
aspect.

Republicans Certain of Success
in the Presidential Elec-
ton Next Year.

General Grosvener, Congressman
from Ohio, the "oficial predictor,"
shows that it is practically impossi-
BILE for the Republicans to lose the
president at the next election. Here
is his estimate of the electoral vote !:
"Surely Democratic States-Ala-
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia, total of Isl electoral
votes.
doubtful States--Delaware, Ida
no, Maryland, Montana, Nevada,
Utah and New York, total. sixty
two electoral votes.
'sSureIy Republican States-Cali-
fornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Iowa,
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Jersey, North
Dakota, South Dakota, New Hamp-
shire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, Vermont, and
Wyoming, total Of 263 electoral
votes. The whole number of votes
in the electoral college is 40"
In all of the states mentioned as
doubtful Che Republicans have a
better chance of carrying them in a
presidential election than have the
Democrats. New York, Delaware,
Idaho, Nevada and Utah are Re-
publican states and are pretty GER
tain to give their electoral votes to
Roosevelt. Maryland, Montana,
Kentucky, and even Missouri, are
likely to give majorities for the Re-
publican national ticket.

Fire in the hall of inscriptions of
the Vatican at Rome recently for
time threatened the destruction of
this great treasure house of anti
quities. AS it was the loss was con-
siderable and irreparable. The
library of the vatican is one of the
most valuable in existence. Besides
its $4,000 of ancient manuscripts it
contains priceless treasures of print
ed books, statuary and paintings.
This ancient palace consists of a
group of fine buildings covering
thirteen acres of ground. The
foundations and walls of the build
ings are of stone but much wood is
used in the interior construction, SO
that the structures are far from be-
ing fire proof as they should be
while housing such priceless treas
ures. There are more than one
thousand apartments in these build
ings.

The state aid to High schools has
been apportioned for the year in ac

raised is 100000. Out Of this first
is paid the salary and expenses of

amounts to $2,562 and the balance,
$97,438, divided among the High

with four-year course all receive
the same sum, $434.57, while those

An exchange says that in New
Zealand where suffrage is universal
10 per cent of the women voters go
to the polls and vote but they vote
as do their fathers, brothers or hus-
bands. We do not think the
fact that they generally vote as DO
their intimate relatives or husbands
is a valid argument against woman
suffrage. It is a credit to the
women that they are in agreement
with their friends. IF woman suf-
frage antagonzied members of the
same family that fact would be a
stronger argument against confer
ring the ballot upon women. Among
men members of the same family
almost invariably vote the same
ticket. The son follows his father
in politics as in other things. The
writer of the statement above con-
cludes that because women vote as
their friends do their voting amounts
to nothing in determining the result
of an election.
