HE CIVILIZED HIM.

Long before the kindergarten opened
at the Elm Street Settlement the other
morning two small Italian boys appear
ed at the door and demanded admit
tance, The older of the two was
about years and a regular kindergar-
ten pupil His face was clean, his
hair brushed. his shoes laced and his
appearance gnerally that of child ac-
customed to certain amount of daily
grooming, The little chap he held by the
hand was smaller, Apparently he had
never, in the three or four years of his
life, been washed or combed His
clothes he had evidently worn day and
and night all winter, but there was a
wistful look in his big eyes as he heard
his companion explaining to the laun-
dress why they wanted to come in so
early. She let them in through the
basement and they went quietly up
stairs. Nothing more was heard from
them until Miss Morse, the head desi-
dent, on her way upstairs from break
fast, heard voices and the sound of
spIashing water in the Mushroom that
opened off the kindergarten and
went to investigate. The tiny stranger
from the alley was standing breavely
by the Washstand while the boy who
! had experienced the joys of kinder
garten life and unconsciously acquired
a knowledge Of the requirements there
of was hard at work with soap and wa
ter and a big scrub brush, used for
floors and woodwork, trying to make
the neglected child look presentable.
Spots of white on the backs of the little
| hands and on one round cheek showed
what had been accomplished.
Without menments pause in his
strenuous scrubbing, the boy looked
up when Miss Morse opened the door
and volunteered his breathless explain
alton. I'm cleaning him UP SO he car

NOT QUITE POLITE ENOUGH

We have been so busy in this country
with Investigations and things that we
seem to have failed little in our nat
ural politeness. Germany is complain
ing of us, and the situation is rather
embarrassing to the State department,
because there is little hope that con-
gress will pass legislation which will
relieve the department and make it
possible for Secretary Root to live up to
inducements held out to Germany
which resulted in the temporary extern
sion to this country by Germany Of its
minimum tariff rates pending a read
justment of the American customs reg
ulations. Since Germany extended its
minimum rates to the United States
there have been repeated efforts by the
State department to obtain the much
desired customs changes Secretary
Shaw agreed to these and they were
laid before congress, but the bill under
went notifications, and in the form it
was reported to the house did not make
good the promises of the State depart
men:.
| Two vital changes in the customs
regulations are sought which must be
made by law, and cannot be made by
executive order. One of these changes
provides that goods sent to the United
States on consignment shall be treated
exactly as goods actually Sod and de-
livered in the United States to the pur-
chaser. The other is that there shall be
no penalty imposed when the under
valuation Of goods does not exceed {

OF course we ought not to havo been
negligent in this matter, and Germany
seems justified in her complaint. We
do not want to get any worse reputa-
ton in Germany than we now have

HARD LUCK.

Robert Hamilton, the unlucky Eng
lishman who happened to be in Madrid
and happened to get arrested on suspi-
cion of being connected with the at
tempt to assassinate King Alfonso on
his wedding day, had pretty severe
experience, according to the account
which he has given since his release.
Just as he was leaving Madrid, he says,
two policemen, who vouchsafed no ex-
PLANTATION of their action, arrested him,
and dragged him through the streets of
the town without trying to protect him
against the crowd, who struck him over
the head with walking sticks, spat upon
him, and insulted him abominably. By
the time he reached the police station,
on the very steps of which he was
struck by a stone or a stick, he had
been SO maltreated that he hardly
knew what he was doing. 1t was in
| this state that he was questioned, the
police maniiesting no concern for his
injuries until later on. He no longer
remembers what he said. His clothes
were torn off, the Innings were cut GER
tain spots on the trousers were taken
for bloodstains, and his gaolers forth
with made up their minds that he was
the culprit AS a matter of fact, the
only blood on his clothes was that
which trickled abundantly from his
head. Alone in his cell, he had ample
time to reflect on his situation and to
recover his possession. Next he
received the visit of a man who said he
was the head of the British police,
through whose intervention he was
finally released. But this official re-
buked him roundly, saying: you are
much to blame. You act in foreign
country as if you were in London, and
as if you did not know that bomb
had been thrown Instead of staying at
home you go away, and, although fa-
miliar with the language of the coun-
try and the excited state of the people

piled that he saw no harm in taking
part in the fetes, but his mentor retort-
ed that there was no excuse for his
conduct that he had acted like a mad.
man, and deserved to be shut up as in
sane. Mr.. Hamilton says he does not
know why the officer abused him so
unless it was for the purpose Of i'm.
pressing the Spanish police.

The Common Way.

I sat beside her on the train
And she was fair, indeed, to see;
looked at her a hundred times
And once or twice she looked at me.
She had monthly magazine,

She wore fragrant little bunch
Of violets upon her breast.
We had sped along, mile after mile,
Out from the noise and smoke and

To where green valleys stretched away,
And l forgot the flight of time.
I heard her signing as she read
The tale of love, and l was glad
To sit beside her as we sped,
To see the graces that she had,

She glanced at me time or two
But nothing happened on the way,

TIE Ely IN THE OINTMENT.

Whom the Lord loveth He chasten-
eth. Yale might have felt too big if she
had won everything this week. Of
course she wanted everything in sight,
and meant to have it. That is the Yale
spirit. She made a strenuous and a
noble try for it. Two or three lengths
isn't much in a four-mile boat race, but
it is quite enough for the crew that has
it, or the crew that lacks Il.
OF course it can truly and fairly be
said that Harvard needs little en-
enlargement She has rowed long and
as well as she could without any to
speak of She has some now, as the
sayings and the doings testify. And of
course 1t isn't much for Yale to lose
once. That is, it wouldn't be if she
hadn't such a habit of winning. A
steady and apparently sure winner
seems to have some obligation that the
steady and apparently sure loser hasn't
just as a sober man is not expected tc
get drunk.
But let us shed no futile tear or gnast
natural or false teeth over the sac
event. There will be another year, yes
other years. The past is secure, all but
yesterday. Let us forget yesterday, ex'
cept as a teacher, and go on to make
the other days secure.

ENGLISH RARMAIns

The information was conveyed by an
Englishman the other day that the
style of shaking hands at the height of
ones head was the invention of the
English barmaid, who in shaking hands
with her customer over the counter
forced him to reach up toward her ele-
waited position. The inventor of this
handshake, who has long figured in,
what has been considered art and IL
terature in England, is about to be-
| coming a creature of the past, provid-
ed the National British women's tenn
perance association has its way.
AT a recent discussion on the sub
ject before the association it was re-
called that a resolution was passed a
year ago. in favor of prohibiting the
employment Of barmaids, but that a
concession to the moderates had caused
the insertion of clause to the effect
that women already engaged in that
occupation should not be disturbed.
But that was when an anti-temper-
ance Parliament was in power. The

The United States Senate has called
for list of suits instituted by the gov
eminent under the Sherman Antitrust
law, the Elkins law and the Interstate
Commerce law. The list will be impress
sive. At the head of the list will be the
criminal proceedings against the Stan
dard Oil company, the filing of the
suits in which will take place within
the next few days. Other actions which
the federal government has actually be-

against railroads for giving rebates to

be instituted against it and against the
roads which acted in collision with it
in violation of the law will be of long
duration. The proceedings against the
Tobacco trust and railroads charged
with granting rebates to the Sugar

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
Dependent Upon the Character Of
Those Who Read Paper.

Dependent Upon the Character Of
Those Who Read a Paper
Perhaps there is no more difficult
problem in the world Of business than
to arrive at a fair judgment of the
advertising value of space in news
paper. In the nature of things this
value cannot be definitely measured as
are yards of cloth or bushels Of wheat
or pounds Of coal. 1t is as intangible
as is the something that lifts great
picture above the level of a mere paint
ing. The canvas of each may be alike,
the colors from the same tubes laid on
by the same brushes, yet the result
may have a market value of 100000 a
square foot, as a Meissonier, or IS a
square yard, as hack work.
Circulation is often the only claim
to an advertisers attention that a
newspaper presents. But circulation
+ alone is far from being the all in all.
There must be circulation or there can
be no advertising value. The more
circulation there is the better for the
advertiser-if the right people are
reached by it in the right way. And
there the problem appears. Who reads
| the newspaper is vastly more important
| to the advertiser in it's columns than
how many read it.
Deaahead circulation is well-nigh
value-less to any advertiser. So is
slum rculation-except for the cheap
est of bargain offerings So is circula
ton that reaches the shiftless, dissatis-
fed, complaining classes, always out OF
| harmony with the established order Oh
things-the classes that envy success
and rail at any opinions but their own
! A newspaper that panders to these
classes can get them as a following
but whether they count by thousands
or by hundreds of thousands, theii
value to an advertiser of substantial
goods is very small.
