A Word About Hides.

Don't fail to call on the old re-
liable Hide and Junk Co., when
you have hides, pelts, furs ETC., to
sell remember we pay cash, don't
ask you to trade it out in a store
and don't advestlse 20 pounds of
of sugar for one dollar and never
get 1t. We don't offer $500 for
your hides and turn around and sell
the same hide to some one else for
$3.50 Some one is getting beat on
such deal. Investigate and insist
on the cash. People are becoming
wise on trading hides for trash; they
want the cash. Who pays cash?

Plus N AND AMERICA.

A brief dispatch from Rome, noting the
regret at the Vatican over the resignation
of Secretary Root and the satisfaction over
ernor Taft, recalls to public attention the
important negotiations pending with the
Vatican concerning the position of the friars
and church lands in the Philippines. If not
the most important, this is at least the
most immediate question before the Amer
lean administration in the archipelago, and
a very vexed and complicated one it is. 1t
cannot be settled upon one uniform ruling,
but case after must be taken up and
determined upon its merits, and, this being
the situation, it is highly important that
there be a harmonious understanding be-
tween the civil and ecclesias stical authori-
ties in the islands. Leo XIII took broad
and common sense view of the situation,
and his influence was very powerful in help
ing the American government to straighten
out the tangled situation.
For this reason Americans watched the
election of lis successor with keen interest,
and they have been more than gratified to
note that every act of the new Pope in re-
lation TO America or American interests has
indicated a disposition to do everything
possible to cement the friendly and helpful
relations already established. The first au-
dience given was to Americans, and one of
the first benedictions sent out was to an
American society. More to the point are
the recent consecrations of an American
preate as archbishop of Manila and another
bishop of Mindanao. men whose lives and
education have been American, and who can
have no reason for misunderstanding Amer
ican purposes in the islands or the Ameri-
can theory of the separation of church and
state.
This policy of conciliation and helpfulness
means not only a great saving of trouble
and vexation for the American administra-
tion in the Philippines, but it means also
the future prosperity of Catholicism in the
Islands. If Plus Y is displaying the same
grade of wisdom in all his church policy
that he has shown in his dealings with
America the College OF Cardinals certainly
made a very fortunate selection

MEN AND Rulers.

1t is singular fact that the two most
autocratic and tyrannical rulers in the
world are said TO be amiable, kind-hearted
gentlemen. These are the Car of Russia
and the Sultan of Turkey. 1t goes without
saying that these are two of the most
arbitrarily governed countries in the
world, and, in some material respects, two
of the worst governed The occasional
glimpses and meager bits of information
which the world has had during many
years past of the horrors of Siberia and
of other cruelties practiced by the Russian
government in carrying out its domestic
policies probably afford only an made
auate conception of the reality. Yet the
Car is said to be a most amiable man.
The tyranny, oppression and cruelty of the
Turkish government wherever it prevails
are proverbial throughout the civilized
world, yet the Sultan is said by those who
know him or who have studied him at
close range TO be a mild-mannered, kind
hearted man. OF his ability. especially in
that line OF diplomacy which consists of
cunning, duplicty and mastery OF baser
motives there is no doubt whatever Nor
is there any doubt of his courage. 1t takes
a brave man to smoke his pipe serenely on
top Of a powder magazine. But it is some
what surprising to learn that the most
autocratic ruler In the world, an Oriental
despot whose subjects in two continents
carry their heads on their shoulders only
by his grace. is really very much of a
gentleman and nice sort of person to
know. General Lew Wallace, who has
smoked cigarettes and drank black coffee
with him, says So Miss Patrick, an In
diana woman who has lived in Turkey
many years as a missionary and teacher.
says: mo one more greatly than the Sui
tan regrets the outbreaks against foreign

it brings upon him the wrath of the out

says. according to the report of his lecture
in Thursdays Journal. ''the average boy
is passing through the brain ebb, while the
girl is passing through her best brain de-
velopment At this time the boy has no
power to grasp details while the girl has
sort of detail mania. The reason a boy
drops out in about the first year
ged to death by details. AT this time he is
growing fast, and if held TO the exactness of
details, while he may be able to give rea-
sons for things. he would rather go to work
than be distanced by girl. He needs SYM
pathy of the broadest kind at this time and
it is the fault of the teacher or parent if
he drops out OF school,
In other words if coeducation is objec-
tionabe, it is, i'm high schools at least, be-
cause the girls mind is the more active and
the boy has difficulty in keeping pace.
There has always been a vagueness in the
reasons given by President Harper. of
Chicago University for segregating the girls
in the less advanced classes of that insti-
tuition. but apparently this statement by
one of his lecturers explains the matter.
1t is not that the girls are harmed by the
association, but that the boys are at their
dullest age and do not like the competition
of keen minds. But why not have said so
in the first place?
The entire controversy about brain cells
and their development, the danger of over
work in schools. the need of parental cod
ding, and the thousand and one rules for
the especial care and treatment of school
boys and girls causes skeptical and cynical
persons to bark back to a period when both
boys and girls travelled long distances to
little log schoolhouses, studied their lessons
at home in such intervals as they could
find among heavy household and farm
tasks, never dreamed that they were being
overworked, and really learned great
many things without discoverable injury
to mind or body. Some, indeed, who gained
their education in this way, without the
benefit of modern brain science and edu-
cational theories, even rose to eminence in
various intellectual lines. However, it is
probable that a good deal more depends
upon the child than the method, and that
even variegated educational theories and
the Iock-step system cannot prevent prog
ress if the young student have a fair mea-
sure of ability.

Prof. John Quincy Adams is reported as
recommending works of art and good music
in factories as a solution of the labor prob

of the old rhyme:

So he took his pipes and played her a
tune; consider, cow, consider.

points TO Dickens as affording a parallel
instance. Dickens" he says, was severe
ly criticised for introducing the first Mrs.
Dickens as the child wife in David Copper
field" Is not this exclusive information?
The Journal can find no authority for the
statement that Dickens had a 'child wife"
or any wife save Catherine Hogarth, from
whom he was so unfortunately separated in
his later years. Biographical dictionaries
make no mention of an earlier marriage,
and Forster's Life of Dickens" says
nothing of such an event. Dickens was
criticised for basng the character of
''Micawber'' on his fathers peculiarities,
but even if this charge were true he was
not deserving of severe censure, Micawber
being such delightful parsonage. But how
did the Press man get the impression that
Dora" was drawn from life?
