A DISGRACEFuL. TEACHER

THE exhibition which Fra Elbertus'
Hubbard has been making of himself
for some time past is disgustingly i'm
moral TO say the least.
Posing III teacher and leader of
men, Mr.. Hubbard has been going about
the country lecturiEg on one thing or
another. Sometimes he has taken his
wife with him-the woman by whom
he has had number of children, near
ly all grown to mans estate and he
has frequently referred to her publicly
in endearing terms. Recently this wife
instituted divorce proceedings against
him, naming Miss Alice Moore as
correspondent. The suit was not defen-
ded and the divorce was granted IT
was rumored at the time that Hubbard
was supporting Miss Moore and their
child. Now we learn that the pair
have since been married in theatre
in New York City
The public has grown so accustomed
to this sort of thing that the parties
concerned seem to lose no social stand
ing whatsoever and indeed in many
cases even appear to gather some sort of
enviable distinction from their adven-
lures They are quite sought after in
fact We should not therefore be at all
SurpriaaJ r, find tha o,,;,a,t G,L.., l.,
vited out to dine and to lecture quite
as frequently as before. We have nc
doubt that the sale of the Roycroft
books and the periodical, THE Phillis
tine. noted for its use of indecent
SMILES, has increased since the episode.
We imagine that Mr.. Hubbard is the
kind Of genius" who could make
capital ont Of the notoriety thus
gained
We sometimes wonder whether he
looks his children in the face quite as
unconcernedly or as frankly az he once
did and we sometimes wonder Just how
his children look at him. We believe
that we have seen it stated that some
of them ut least rather sided with him
in the divorce matter. But that has
! little to do with the case one way or the
other. The incident is scarcely worth
IL notice except for the fact that the
man has achieved prominence as the
avowed exponent Of higher ideals and 9
broader plane of thought Wa wonder
whether such conduct rs he has beer
guilty OF ~ included in his advanced
philosophy or whether it is simply q
aggression which he excuses as an in
cidental weakness Of the flesh and dis
misses.
Whatever the feelings of himself Oh
his children on the matter, the genial
Fra Elbertus" has demonstrated to all
the world that in spite of his preten
sions TO the title of advanced thinker he
lacks the innate delicacy of perception,
the refinement of intuition, the sensi
tiyeness, which has always been asso-
ciated with great artists. He has
discounted himself by fifty per cent in
the eyes Of those to whom pure and
lofty morality is not only beautiful in
itself but an absolute essential to the
proper unfolding Of beauty in any
form.

Something That Is Good.

We know of no greater service that
this newspaper can render its many
readers than to let them know of a
really m ritorious article and where the
same may be procured. For this reason
we wish to have every reader peruse the
following letter from Dexter Mahoney,
Quigley, Ill, He says: "Please send
me by express two dozen of Re-Go. /
find it an excellent medicine and have
to keep it in stock" Re-Go Tonic

in height. They got it! The tree
stands 255 feet from the floor. When it
was raised one of the trustees laughing
~ pointed out to the Pastor that the
next tree could not he much higher, for
it nearly reached the ceiling-but the
Pastor assured him there were still nine
feet of space, so that the next tree might
even be little higher.
But 25t feet is quite height and the
little ones close by will have to hold
their heads back to take in all the beau
ty at one time. The tree, as a good old
fashioned tree should be, is covered not
only with glittering ornaments, but
with more substantial things than tin
sci, such rs candies, cakes, apples, etc.
The only new things it shows are the
electric lights, over hundred, but so
small that at distance OF
twenty feet they will delude you into
the belief that each light is a veritable
candle.
At seven o'clock, while the bells are
ringing, the $50 school children with
their four teachers form in line and en-
ter the church while the church band
plays selection. The service is opened
with hymn by the congregation, but
for the greater part of an hour it is a
children's service. Intermingled in
bible recitations are various Christmas
carols by the various school classes
even including the class of smaller chill
dren.
At the end of the services the trustees
go about distributing to each school
child package of candies, nuts, ETC.,
also each will receive story book, the
smaller children receiving illustrated
books But not only these $50 receive
gifts. Many of the smaller ones who
come with their parents will 60 home
happy in the knowledge that they were
not forgotten AT about eight o'clock
the service closes, but the tree will be
shown once more. That will be during
the evening service on Dec 81, at seven
o'clock.

BRIDES FOR SOUTH AFRICANS.
Bound for Cape Town Has . Num-
Der of Prospective Wives.

Hardly a mail steamer leaves England
for Cape Town without bearing on board
an English bride for a sweetheart who
has gone before to provide home In
that land of promise, says a London dis
patch.
Not infrequently the list Of passen-
gers includes three or four brides, who
ingenuously conf1de their secret to each
other with the result that the vessel is
seldom many days at sea before the
bride becomes known all over the ship.
Sailors consider It lucky to have brides
on board.
The bridegrooms meet them at the
landing place, and forthwith they re-
pair to a public Office to be married by
special license, while genial Jack Tara
crowd the gangway and throw rice
among the brides hair.
These marriages are mostly happy Sc
quels to the conclusion of the war, many
Woman having decided to settle In
South Africa and bring thither the girls
they had left behind them.
But there have been exceptions. Fir
tations on board-no place equals
ships deck for that pastime-hava
brought bitter disappointment to wait
Ing bridegrooms. Sometimes girls get
engaged on the voyage to fellow passen-
gers Or memb ers Of the crew, and arrive
at the Cape "off with the old love and
on with the new"
1t has also been recently observed that
young girls are going to South Africa
from England in increasing numbers
as domestic servants in the smaller up
country towns. II they have not calcu-
lated upon the chances of matrimony,
they are not long In their new home be-
fore offers come along for their selec-
ton.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
Christmas Program Given By Pupils of
the North Side

Before an appreciative audience OF
friends and relatives, the North Side
High School pupils gave a Christmas
entertainment last Friday preparatory
to their entering on their Christmas
holidays The program was rather
long but there was no lack of en'hu-
siasm and everything went off with a
will. The musical part of the enter
tainment came first and was on the
whole the most remarkable thing about
the entire performance. Miss Catherine
Strouse, the Supervisor of Music for the
School certainly deserves great deal of
credit. 1t was sight to see the school
orchestra, four boys in knee breeches
and girl get up and play as well as
it did And the part singing by the
sextette and the girls glee club, while
pretty ambitious for unframed voices,
was, on the whole, remarkably ac-
curate. The work which the pupils are
being taught to do along such lines
should meet with the hearty common
dation, interest and cooperation of
every parent in the community.
Scenes from Dickens christmas
Carol were given by several of the
boys who entered into the spirit of the
thing with evident enjoyment. -Four
original descriptive Christmas stories
were read by four girls and a
silver medal for the best one, was
awarded TO Miss Helene Canright.
Other features of merit were the read
ings by Margaret Carey of Dickens's
wonderful "A Child's Dream of Star
and by Pauline Shimek of Solomon
Crows Christmas Pockets" Miss
Genevra Sherman recited very credit
ably the enunciation from Ben Hur"

TIE CUBAN TREATY

WHATEVER may be the opinion Of
the country at large with regard to our
duty to Cuba it il pow too late for any
body to do any kicking, The much
discussed treaty has gone into effect, the
bin making it effective having passed
the senate BIZ a vote of 81 to Is.
BY the terms of the treaty it il very
evident, even from II cursorY review,
that the United States, despite the
high moral arguments Of the admins
tration, will profit very:much more than
will her little bare legged and penniless
sister. Our Infant" industry, the
sugar trust is wisely protected from
catching cold by exposure to anything
greater than n 20 per cent red,pc-
ton in the tariff, and in fact all the
little industries are likewise cared
for The tobacco trust, however, IL
not allowed TO enjoy the benefit Of any
concession or rebate of duty when it's
wares are imported into Cuba from the
the United States which rather sug-
gests An old saw about the uselessness
Of bringing Goals 10 Newcastle"
But no particular provision seems to
have been made for any possible futnre
infant industries in Cuba. In fact
the provision for the reduction in the
Cuban tariff of 40 per cent on manu-
features of cotton, knitted and all
manufactures of cotton, not included in
the % per cent and 80 per cent schedules
would rather seem to kill Cuba's
chances for starting mp a little mann

Copenhagen lies on the narrow strait
leading from the Baltic Sea out through

1t has a fine harbor. n this has made
II one OF the most important cities OF
Northern Europe.
II commands the straits. and has always
been a great meeting place.
Three years before Columbus discovered
America Bishop Absalon built a castle
here and lived on the trade.
Since then the harbor has been widened
and deepened. and IL now one OF the best
in Europe. The city has established a free
port at a cost Of S~s.oO0.Oo0. and there are
two miles OF quays. at which the largest
ocean steamers can land. Thirty-nve thou
