GLAD TO 20


The proprietor of n of Il sal
oons, which was closed up last Sun
day, said he didn't know when he had
passed such a comfortable Sunday.
Heretofore when he had undertaken
to close up his saloon there was al
ways someone to complain because
others kept open and they thought
that he should oblige his customers
too. But last Sunday they knew it
had to be done and no complain
were made. So il would appear t1at
the fault does not lie with the 81 800 .
keepers altogether and it proves what
has been said before in these columns
that the task is great before those
who have begun this good work.
They have already accomplished
something in the closing of several
of the saloons on the Sabbath and
that ought to encourage them to keep
it up

"FADs AND FRILLs' ALLOWED.

'Fads and frills" in the public
schools will not be curtailed this year
because of the lack of funds, nor will
the number of special have to be cut
down.
The Board of Estimate allotted
$3O2,030.44 for especial branches"
for 1906, a reduction of $%150,00O
under the amount requested by the
Board of Education. The reason
given for the reduction was that the
sum should be saved by limiting the
work in the "fads," and assigning
the special teachers to regular work.
Under the law, however, the Board of
Education has the sole right to APP
portion the total sum allotted for the
general fund, and in doing so, at its
meeting Thursday, $446,712.95 was
allotted to the special branches, or
nearly $145, 600 more than the Board
of Estimate had a~pportioned.

ued to fail, had no appetite, wa

no ambition to play, but wished to lie
down all the time. The last three
doctors who treated her said she was
in consumption, was in a decline, and
tlere was no help for her. Then |
commenced to give her Father Johns
Medicine. From the first, her appe-
tite kept right on improving, until
now she eats a hearty e three
times a day, besides a lunch between.
Nervousness has entirely left her.
She goes to bed at 5 p. m. and sleeps
until 7 a. m. | am still giving the
medicine to her, to be sur to cure
her lungs if there is really any rou-
Bile left, although she does not cough
now. IA
Il have given her almost three bot

The Decline of Muscle, g
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

Unskilled labor is daily becoming of less
worth to society. The man who has nothing
but his muscles to offer to society in return
for bread now finds that society does not
think the bargain good enough. The strong
arm and fleet foot were. enough perhaps, to
make candidate for kingshfp long ago:
they are scarcely sufficient today even for
the making of a stevedore The high priests
of muscle and their fanatical supporters are
more utterly out of date than the worship
ers OF any African fetish. The struggle for
existence Is not, as formerly, an immediate
struggle of man with nature-wfth the re-
calcitrant soil and the uncertain sea- The
arrangement now Is social. not individual.
You may live If you are worth enough to
cles to o1er, society will point you to its
machinery. which your muscles are power
less to emulate. What are the legs OF a
man" compared with an internal combus-
ton engine? The jinriksha-runner and the
motor car are types of the contrast. What
is the biceps of the blacksmith compared
with the steam hammer? In short, modern
society is such that, other things being
equal. the educated mind wills beat the edu-
Gated muscle every time.
If, them we are to remedy poverty and
unemployment. we must see to it that in
our training of the young we pay attention
to the factors that increasingly count in
the struggle for existence today. The par
emit who exploits his child at the earliest
age, depriving him of any chance Of making
the mental. requirements that society is
to add to the ranks of the unemployed of
tomorrow Society Is in less need than
ever heretofore of hewers Of wood and
drawers Of water.

The Incendiary Blonde.
le st. Louis lobe-Democrat.


Little ones with blue eyes and a baby
stare, and who wear ''fussy'' clothes, are
perhaps the most dangerous of the species.
though the red-headed ones are often a
menace to the peace and dignity of the
state. However. the enlightened Russian
government does not discriminate but to
restore the equanimity of the empire is
waging q relentless war against all blondes.
It was in Warsaw that the great movement
originated. cablegram from that city
declares that since a '1ight-haired woman"

are to be placed under arrest If this
program is carried out, we predict an early
settlement of the Russian troubles Blondes
have caused almost all the trouble In the
world, anyway. Eve was a blonde: Semi
ramis was blonde: Cleopatra was a
blonde; the Original Florodora sextet'' are
blondes. Men pretend that they revolt, or
rebel. or write, or preach, or pray, for the
good Of humanity. 1t Is not so. They do
these things for little blondes Look I'm

Where Cortes Lived.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harper'S Magazine
OF all old Spanish houses we are most
proud "a little shamefacedly. to be sure)
of the ones in which Cortes strangled his
first wife. We admit. of course, that his
act was not q commendable one; but the
fact that he committed it here in our own
Coyoacan does give us pleasantly tickling
sense Of our own historical Importance. The
house is fortresslike structure Of stone
built in part Of squared blocks taken from
a temple or from a cacique's dwelling-and
has a sinister look about 1t that fits 1t to
a nicely.
Dona Catalina-the first wife, the stran-
gled one-was fll-advised in coming over
unasked from Cuba, after the conquest, to
join her husband in Mexico. The fact seems
to be established that Cortes-although he
put a good face on the matter by receiving
her with a great show of state and dig
nity-was in dudgeon at her coming. AS
for Cortes himself, he seems to have been
a person who liked to have his own way
and who was not particular as to how, or
at whose expense, he had 1t. Since the es-
sence Of conquest Is domineering insist
ence upon making somebody else uncom-
Portable, I suppose that conquerors must
be of that temperament; but 1t makes them
exceedingly disagreeable people to have
dealings with-as the luckless Dona Cata-
lima found out, with f1nality. on All Souls
eve in the year 1922. Since men will muir
der upon holy days." that was a time most
proper LOT Tragedy. AS Is well known, on
Ali Souls eve the entire host of devils is
let loose from hell.
There was dance followed by a supper
in our old house-which then was brand
new house-that evening; and while the
supper was forward Dona Catalina had a
spat about the servants with Don fernando
that sent her away from the table huffed
and sorrowful-so sorrowful that she said
out plainly to her tirewoman that she
longed to die. Very shortly that longing
was gratified. Cortes came up to their
chamber some time later; and presently
the serving folk left them together for the
night-to be called hurriedly, in the early
hours of the morning. and to find their
mistress dead in the bed with livid marks
on her throat as though of fingers and
thumbs. In answer to the question of Ana
Rodriguez. the tirewoman. How came
those marks there. my lord?" Cortes an
swered: II made them in breaking loose
her necklace. that she might the better
breathe"-and, apparently regarded as cir
cumstantial evidence in his favor the fact
that the gold beads of the necklace. the
thread broken, undeniably were scattered
all over the bed and on the floor. Bernal
Diaz tells politely that Dona Catalina died
of an asthma-which Is stretching polite
ness about as far as 1t will 90.
