Farmers and SPECTATORS.

The day may not be so far distant
when the spectators on the board OF
trade will be asking congress to pro-
mer. For example. the farmers of the
Red River valley got together not long
ago and gave the Chicago wheat gam
blers sharp lesson in high financier-
ing. The Red River valley wheat crop.
ii must be understood, is taken by the
spectators as a barometer of general
wheat conditions
This fact was known to the farm
ers. Consequently. when they agreed
tc send out reports to the effect that
the crop was full of rust. chinch bugs
and other evils, they knew that it was
a moral certainty that the price OF
wheat would advance. With the re-
port they sent in buying orders for
all the money they could scrape to-
gether. The expected happened
Wheat advanced sharply and the far
mers sold. Then they concluded that
at least twice.
They caused to be disseminated, af-
ter they had acquired a line of short
wheat. a report that the Red river crop
would be a bumper. as, indeed, it was
The report naturally caused a drop
in the price. When the figures had
dropped low enough to give the farm
ers a comfortable margin of profit they
bought, made their deliveries and got
out of the game. a wall has gone
up from the board of trade about the
unreliability of the farmers Some
brokers put it even more strongly.
They say they were deliberately rob-
bed by their country cousins, who
occupy the rather unique position OF
being able TO laugh both first and
laugh. And it is to be hoped that they
will stay out of the wheat market for
time except as they have legitimate
wheat to sell. If they don't the spec
ulators may be depended upon to get
back the money won by the farmers
with interest. Your honest agricuItur-
list may be able to turn one or two
shrewd tricks. but he doesn't possess
anything like the package owned by
the average Spectator.
Meanwhile all of US can afford
to smile at the discontinue of the
gamblers. They were beaten at their
own game.

Hush, nightingale, hush! o, sweet

Till listen>and hear
If a step draweth near.
For my love he is late
The skies in the darkness stoop
nearer and nearer,
A cluster of stars hangs, like fruit on

The fall of the water comes sweeter.

To what art thou listening, and what
dost thou see?
Let the star clusters grow.
let the sweet waters flow.
And come quickly to me-
You night moths that hover where
honey brims over
From sycamore blossoms, or settle or
sleep,
You glow-worms shine out and the
pathway discover
To him who comes darting along the
rough steep.
All, my sailor make haste,
For the time runs to waste,
And my love lieth deep.
"Too deep for swift telling, and yet my
one lover,
I've conned thee an answer, it waits
thee tonight"
By the sycamore passed he, and
through the sweet clover,
Then all the sweet speech 1 had
fashioned to flight
But I'll love him more, more
Than e'er wife loved before,
Be the days dark or bright

The Theater Hat in Paris.

The theater hat question is so old
a story that it is no longer even an
available theme for the witticisms of
minstrel show end-men and comic
opera comedians That there ever
was such a question has almost been
forgotten. No American woman with
any "savoir faire" at all ever thinks
of such a thing as wearing her hat
in a theater while the curtain is up.
1t is. therefore. worth noting that
in Paris. commonly reputed to be an
extremely "up-to-date." not to say
rapid, city. the theater hat con-
troversy still RACES. seemingly no
nearer to a settlement than it was
ten years ago. Partisan milliners re-
Gently announced that they were de-
vising q style of feminine headgear
that could be worn in the theater
without occasioning the slightest in
convenience to persons seated behind
the wearer. A Paris manager has
just come triumphantly out of a suit
for damages brought against him by
a patron who claimed that he had
been deprived. with the connivance of
the manager. of the theatrical enter
tainment for which he had paid in
advance, by the inOrdinate millinery OF
a woman seated in front of him, who
had refused to remove the obstruction
at his request and had not been COM
PEELED to do so by the manager. The
court nOn-suited the plaintiff on the
ground that Partisan theater- goers
know that such annoyances are to be
expected at the theater and buy their
seats subject to that risk. The suit
and the decision prove not only that
the theater hat problem is still un-
settled in Paris. but also that French
courts have not yet attained the sane
view Of the legal aspects of the ques-
ton
The fact that this question, long
ago settled and settled right in the

UncIvilIzed Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge has been the scene
of a singular exhibition of popular
ignorance and hostility to authority.
A mass meeting recently held there
EXPRESSED such indignation over the
policy which the local board of health
had wisely proposed TO adopt in
order to protect the community from
yellow fever that the medical men
who were on the board resigned. This
behavior reminds one of the riotous
outbreaks which often occur in India
when the government tries to check
the spread of the bubonic plague. It
is less excusable, however. In India
the authorities have at times found
it necessary to burn the houses of the
natives. no mere cleansing or disi-n
lection being regarded as adequate to
the emergencies that occasionally
arise. Again, additional bitterness is
impaired to the resentment which the
Hindoos feel by the fact that to some
extent they are ruled by foreigners.
The recommendations made to the
people of Baton Rouge involved much
less trouble and sacrifice. and they
emanated from officials who without
doubt belong to the same race as the
majority of persons that attended the
mass meeting. The protest of the lat
ter, therefore. was utterly unbecoming
to a civilized country and in strong
contrast with the good sense and pro-
gressive spirit shown by the people OF
New Orleans.
What is more. the program outlined
by the health authorities at the capt.
tai of Louisiana offers practically the
only available method Of attaining the
object in view. So far as anybody
knows today there is only one way OF
transmitting the germs of yellow fever
from one person to another, and that
is through the agency of a mosquito
biting the sick first and then the well.
The process is identical with that by
which malaria is spread, except that
the insect which is thus related to
one disease (stegyOmia) belongs to
different genus from that which dis
seminates the other (anopheles). Al
together the best way of suppressing
malaria, is to suppress the mosquito.
and the same tactics afford the largest
promise of rescuing a region that is
threatened with yellow fever BY far
the most effective method OF getting
rid of the mOsquito-whether it belong
to a disease bearing family or a less
baIeful One-is to prevent propoga-
tion. Cisterns and small water tanks
and open cess pools are favorite breed
ing places, and such as cannot well
be abolished or treated with kerosene,
can be made harmless only by the use
of screens which will prevent access !

hind the age, but that the American
woman is vastly the superior of the
Parisienne in reasonableness, unset
f1sness and courtesy. No power in the
United States could ever have COM
PEELED the queens of this land to dofr
their hats in the theater against their
own sweet will. In view of the fact
that there is no place like the theater
for the satisfactory public exhibition
OF elaborate millinery, no one can
deny that a great sacrifice was re-
quired of the women of America when
they were asked to sit hatless through
theatrical performances. But they
made the sacrifice graciously and I'M
grudgingly as soon as they were con-
WINGED that it was necessary for the
greatest good of the greatest number
that they should do so. That they
deserve more of thanks and praise for
their selfishness than they ever re-
ceived is indicated by the opposite
course of the women of Paris. In Eu-
rope they say Americans spoil their
women and make them inconsiderate
and selfish by being too subservient
to them. This marked difference be-
tween the conduct of the women OF
Paris and that of the women of the
United States in the matter of the
theater hat doesn't sustain that the
