When the king was a child to ride
these lions was his greatest delight, and
on one solemn occasion, when he and
his mother were receiving a delegation
of dignitaries, he slipped Off the throne
and bestrode one of them In the midst

1t is not the business Of the press

is the rule. As to water: Not one
person in a thousand drinks sufficient

pure. Dilute your food. Give diges-

when the sanitary sewers Of a city are
clogged? AS to air: Most persons
breathe with only half their lungs. Men
and women go for weeks and months
without taking dozen filings of the
lungs with oxygen. Half tho cells of
the lungs are unused day after day.

me that 1t was on the vest of her old
sweetheart, and that one Sunday she
said that she wished that she had a
button like 1t for her charm-string, and
her sweetheart unscrewed 1t and gave
1t to her. 1t was the top button. Nam

unsurpassed. Many have fine parks
and boulevards and handsome streets
Of fine houses. Some have excellent
public buildings and magnificent
bridges. Yet, as architectural cons
structions, no American city is beauti-
full as are Paris and some other Euro
pean cities. Oae reason is that the
ancient cities have had time to put on
the beauty Of age; but their modern
portions, constructed often at less ex-
pense than too many American build
ers lavish on costly monstrosities, have
Zone, harmony, good taste unequaled in
in this country. The reason is that in
European cities there is authoritative
supervision over every building. Arch
itects are required, as they are not re-
quired In this country, to build with
reference to the architectural and nat
ural surroundings The American unit
of design is the building. The Euro
pean unit Is the street, the district, the
whole city. There is change for the
better. Washington, which owes what
architectural order 1t has to a French
man, will have a consistent plan to
which future buildings are to conform,
and the main street to the Capitol will
not always be lined with squalor to
the very foot Of that mighty building.
The Mayor Of Portland has recently
issued pamphlet on the identifying
Of his native city. A more dignified
approach is being planned to the beau
tiful Brooklyn Bridge, the great piers
of which now rise out Of rubbish heaps.

be work Of art, not a chaos.

OF late certain of the magazines have

or late certain of the magazines have
departed from the literary standards
created by their predecessors and have
engaged with the yellow press In
searching for low life in high places.
Their ceaseless investigation, not of the
moral state of the majority but of a
hopeless, If rich and influential, minor
ity, has led to the conclusion among
many readers that our legislatures, ma
tional, State and city; our railroad
corporations, our manufacturers, our
trusts, our political parties, are corrupt.
We have, 1t is true, great deal to con-
tend with In checking the arrogance of
wealth and the ruder arrogance of poy-
erty, but this nation has subsisted for
100 years on mutual trust and common
Righteousness, nor In spite of the alarm
signals do we see any tokens of disin-
tegration.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1906-06-16

While corruption has been wide
spread, 1t has not been universal. A
large and saving part Of the commun-
ity Is honest and honorable. Social
progress Is only sure and lasting when
the average citizen Is ripe for it. That
our citizens are alive to the dangers
threatening our social and political life
and are bravely attempting to avert
those dangers Is the best guarantee we
can have that, at heart, the nation Is
sound, honest, self-respecting and able
to purge itself of corruption.

Doubtless there Is such a thing as the
newspaper habit which comes to be a
form Of mental dissipation and tends
to weaken the power of close attention
and prevent the sort of study and con-
centration which leads to intellectual
growth. That should be avoided, but
no man Of to-day, however much he
may be absorbed in his occupation or
however much he may pride himself on
a culture that consists chiefly In knowl-
edge of bygone things, can afford to
neglect or be Ignorant of the marvel
GUS daily record that Is made In print
of the time In which he lives.

People who know what a home Is are
not SO many as middle-aged men and
women think, and they who never had
one will hardly be expected to join In
the lament at its gradual disappear
ance. That 1t Is going out of fashion
there is not doubt. Every new pile
Of flats, every conversion of dwelling
to clearinghouse is elegaic of the cir
cumstance. The modern family shifts
from one tenement to another, loses or
damages its goods In the transit Is
constantly making new acquaintance,
but as constantly losing the old, and Is
without quiet and retirement and peace.
The older people regret the change !;
the younger have no standards by which
to measure 1t.

RAILROAD REBATES MUST STOP.

My own idea about rebates IL
this: The rebate must stop, and
the railroad is not the only sinner
in the case. Such action must be
taken by legislation and the en-
forcement Of such legislation as
will apply the remedy to both the
beneficiary and the railroads. It
Is the great and vital evil of our
commercial system, and l am sure
that every person engaged legiti-
mately in the business Of shipping
or hauling will agree with those
who are seeking relief.

Collecting Is sort of cumulative pas
sion. 1t starts with taste for quality,
1t develops into a greed for quantity.
Once the collector discovers he is the
possessor Of an article of which there
are few or no other copies. he is lost.
Thereafter he has only one concern-to
seize upon more rarities. 1t would be
all very well If the mania pertained to
what may truly be called treasures, but
too often these things have value only
because other collectors covet them.
That he may have an example of the
ceramics Of every dynasty of China Is
more to the collector than that he has
beautiful specimens of one.
