NO SCHOOL FOR HOUSE HELP.
In London Need of Such an Institution
Is Being Urged.

In London Need of Such an Institution
Is Being Urged.
It is significant fact that though
there are, according to the last census,
considerably over 100000 domestic en-
ployes in the metropolitan area, says
the London Argus, there is not in the
whole of the elaborate and costly sys-
tenn of educational training which the
London county council has under it's
control a single school or even class
for training young girls for domestic
service
Z Let maiden aspire to be a type
writer, a clerk, a dresSmaker or a mu-
sic teacher and a hundred doors are
eagerly opened to her. She is not
only free to enter, but she is implored
to come in, and in order that she may
find things quite pleasant nice little
dances and evening parties are ar
ranged for her benefit.
Good domestic service is not only
the healthiest occupation that a girl
Of humble parents can adopt, but it
lis the best paid. Compare the posi-
ton Of girl who goes to a city Of
flee or teashop every day and that Of
a maid in suburban household. One
gets possibly FL to { 5 shillings a week
and has to find herself in everything
and to defray the cost Of getting to
and from her business in addition.
So far as real independence is con-
cerned there is no sort of comparison
between 'the young lady" who is at
the beck and call of possibly irascible
superintendent in place Of business
and a housemaid who gets out once
on Sunday and one evening a week
and has an entire day off every month,
with a fortnights holiday in the sum-
ner. Whatever it may once have
been, domestfce service is to-day the
most lucrative and certain Of all forms
or female employment. To ignore it,
as our technical training system prac-
tically does is to accenthate the mis-
chievous, vulgar ptejudices which sets
the workingman against home employ
ment for his daughters as slavish and
derogatory to their independence.

INDIANS "MAY BE So"
Their Use of the Phrase Cost a Man
Allotment of Farm.

Their Use of the Phrase Cost Man
Allotment of Farm.
The phrase maybe So is of as COM
mon use among Indians as don't you
know" among Englishmen, says the
Kansas City (Mo) Journal. According
to story told by H. r. Banding,
United States Commissioner, this Ill
dian phrase prevented the Interior De-
partment from giving man 100 acres
OF land.
Before the opening Of the Kiowa-
Comanche country to settlement the
department sent representatives there
to ascertain the actual number Of In
dams in order that provision might be
made for their allotments. Among the
Indians they found Herman Lehman.
a German-American who was cap
tured when small boy by the Co.
manche Indians in Texas and has
been with them ever since. He made
application for an allotment and the
matter was taken under consideration
by the officials.
In order that they might determine
that no fraud was being perpetrated
they required the testimony of Indians
to substantiate the fact of Lehmanns
capture and his abode with the tribe.
In giving their testimony the Indians
made frequent use of the term may
be so" in such expressions as: Maybe
so he was captured by the Co
manches." Maybe so he is Quanah
Parker's son." This testimony was
taken by stenographers and typewrit-
ers and then transmitted to the secre.
tary. The department officials III
Washington did not understand this
popularity Of the Indian speech and
took these expressions to mean that
the Indians were not sure about what
they said Lehman was, therefore,
refused an allotment.

Clifford B. Hildreth is the proprietor
of a hotel at York Beach, Me-, few
miles from a promontory known as
Baldhead Cliff. The place is wild and
picturesque, and is the mecca of many
summer visitors.
Hildreth is called Cliff by all who
know him. His head has pushed
through his hair, and he has little
use for a comb. A few weeks ago a
party Of tourists stopped in front of
his hotel, and, seeing Mrs. Hildreth on
the veranda, one Of the men called out:
"Can you tell me where Baldhead
Cliff Isl"
HE must be around the house some
where" said Mrs. Hildreth. 81 saw
him just few minutes ago." She was
not disconnected by the slangy title
that she believed the tourist had be-
slowed on her husband.

LETTER FROM CHAPLAIN HALE.
The Accusation Against Gen. James
Misunderstanding of Kansas.

The Accusation Against Gen. James
Misunderstanding of Kansas.
e. A. Kilian, Of Alma, Kas., recent
II wrote to DR.. Edward Everett Hale,
the eminent minister and historian,
who at the advanced age of 80 is still
an active man, says the Kansas City
Journal. The Kansas gentleman wish
ed to know more about a historical
statement made by DR.. Hale. The re-
oily is published in the Alma Enter
prise, and from it we quote as follows:
"The great American authority
about all these things was Gayarre.
It was he whom the State Of Louisiana
sent to Spain and France. had the
pleasure of meeting him in 1876, when
he was well and strong. But do not
know what became Of his collections
Of papers. 1t was he who discovered
III Spain the absolute evidence that
oursGen James Wilkinson was in the
pay Of the Spanish government, from
whom he received $4,000 year while
he was in the service Of the United
States. When my mugwump friends
talk to me about the purity of our
early government am fond of asking
them to beat this transaction if they
can"
The discovery to which Dr. Hale al
ludes proved conclusively that which
had been suspected of Gen Wilkinson
for several years before he was dis
missed from the American army in
1915. He was mixed up in conspir-
acy to form a southwestern republic
under the protection of Spain and
Spain was regularly paying him pen
sion or subsidy while he was hold
ing a position Of responsibility in the
United States army. 1t will be remem-
bered that Aaron Burr declared that
Wilkinson was a party to the success
sion scheme, but court-martial trial
held in 1911 did not regard the proof
as conclusive and Wilkinson was &C.
Quilted, only to be dismissed on anoth-
er charge four years later.

add a final touch to the process.
Residents of the District are familiar with
the arguments brought against the whip

repeatedly urged that the menace of the
lash would not necessarily check the dcs-
piCable practice of wife-beating, even
though it lessened the number of COM
plants in court. 1t will be interesting to
note how far the offer of the sheriff of
Washington county, Oregon, to place the
lash in the beaten wife's hands Will en-
courage court prosecutions. If it is likely
that the publicly whipped husband will re-

developed that this agreement was subject
to the condition that the seven express
companies reserved the right TO adhere to
their original warning to the drivers in their

pathy they would not be re-engaged in any
circumstances. Thereupon the Joint coun-

The first result of the reversal of deci-
