Rodney. Of New Mexico, who has been
in Washington this winter fighting for
joint statehood, tells a story illustrative
'of the trite. saying that circumstances
alter cases. Some of the citizens OF a
certain southwestern town which was
still in the class of frontier settlements
devised a new. method of inducing
"tenderfoot" visitors to furnish enter
tainment for the crowd. When the
stranger arrived in town and began the

ROYAL Courage.

When was royalty ever afraid? ask
the historians. The following is quoted
from the description Of the Empress
Eugenie's escape from Paris in The
Second French Empire" by DR.. Thomas
W. Evans. which the Appletons publish
ed in the fail:
"SignoT Nigra has told me that. while
standing here Cthe door of the Louvre
opening on the square in front Of the
Church Of St German TAuxerrois), OBJ

offered her his arm; and that soon after

Hearing these cries. he asked tie en-
press II she was afraid
Not a bit she replied. why do
you ask me? You are holding my arm;
do you feel me tremble?'
BY curious coincidence, the same
reply 10 the same question was made
by Louis XVI under nearly similar cir
cumstances. When on the twentieth Of
June, 1872, the Paris mob, invading the
Tuileries, entered the royal apartment
and laid hands on the person of the
king, some one cried out, Are you
afraid?' and the king. turning to the
man, said, Put your hand on ny arm

mans published in translation here in
America not long since. Nj. Boutmy
was the pupil. and close friend untii
his death. OF Taine. and his philosopn-
zeal attitude is clearly marked by the
influence Of his master
Two interesting facts in regard TO Nj
Boutny-one of a personal nature, the
other concerning his place in French
public Iife-are worth noting First, II
is perhaps not genera Ty known that he
was almost blind. He could discern the
verdure OF the trees or the light OF the
stars. and could fairly distinguish the
features of person talking to him at
close quarters, but tie general aspect
OF the world was hidden from him, and
reading and writing were both beyond
his powers The other fact of interest
is that he was the founder Of the Ecole
/ ibre des Sciences Politiques. a training
college. Independent Of state support or
control. which has become the recog-
nized preparatory school for the diplO-r
matte service and the higher branches
OF civil administration.

HySterical Boosting.

The Kansas City folk, of whom
5000 saw Bernhard act the other
evening, announce proudly that
No dramatic performance in the
history of the world ever before at
tracted so large an audience"
This is sheer nonsense. The
! theater of Dionysius at Athens
seated nearly 10000 persons, and
that at Megalopolis about $4,000
They were often filled, as the writ
ings of the Greeks bear ample testi-
mony. Besides these colossal places
of amusement there were plenty of
others scattered about in the later
Roman empire, any one of which
would seat audiences putting that
at Kansas City completely out of
sight.
In New York, Madison Square
Garden; in Philadelphia, the Music
Hall; in Boston the Mechanics Hall
auditorium. and in half a dozen
other American cities half a dozen
other halls have often held more
than 5000 persons at what NAV
properly enough be termed dramatic
performances.
When men feel like making boast
full statements of the Kansas City
sort, it would be we'll for them to
acquire knowledge in some way of
what has previously been done and
is now being done elsewhere in the
world.

H0nOrS Well Earned.

Citizens who have followed the
course of District affairs at the
Capitol these past ten years will
hurrah for the resolutions adopted
recently by the Civic Center and
sent by them to the District Conn
missioners. Those resolutions
recommend, briefly, that the park
which is created by the new filtra-
ton plant shall be divided into
two equal sections and that one
section shall be named Mcmillan
Park as a memorial to the late
chairman of the Senate Committee
on the District of Columbia, and
the other section be named Gal
linger Park in honor of the present
chairman of that committee.
If Senator Mcmillan had done
nothing more than provide for the
District park commission, the debt
of the Capital to him would be
great. But he did, of course,
thousand things for the large well
fare of the District every session.
His view was broad and his interest
unvarying. When he passed away
there was among those citizens who
had had occasion to observe his
watchfulness over District affairs
a general dismay. Yet his sue
eessor has done no less and been
no less watchful of the Capitals
broadcast interests.
The Commissioners recognize this,
but they indicate in their reply to
the Civic Center that the two parks
are under the jurisdiction of the
War Department. That is, of course,
the situation. 1t is earnestly to be
hoped, however, the Commissioners
