 thrust money upon him or on those

 was the reason they were so bitter against the vice squad at headquart- CTS. So long as that was in honest hands the interests of the people and inc law could not be sold out by a captain. he was unable to make good.

An Elder Brother.

In a case in the orphans court of MI eastern city one of the principal wtI nesses was asked if he had any brohI CTS or sisters.
 'I had brother" he replied. but died l:0 years ago"
 What: X hundred and fifty yenl ago?" echoed the judge, with an inJ pied rebuke for a possible jest.
 "Yes. am telling you the truth. M father was married at nineteen yean] of age. Within the year son wal born to him. who shortly afterwad1 died. Becoming q widower before h| was thirty. my father married again a the age of saventy-fve. l was bon next year. am at present ninety.fom years old. If you will make the neces sary calculation by adding my age n:nety-four. to the number ffty-siI which is the difference between sever ty-five and nineteen. the ages Of mJ father at the time of his respectiys marriages, the result will be exactJ 15O. So it is just a century and hat since my brother died"

Let the Children Play.

It is too often true of the unhappy children who are forced to rise too earl ly in their classes that they are con- ceited all the forenoon of life and str Did all its afternoon. The vigor anal freshness which should have been stotl ed up for the purposes of the haia| struggle for existence in practical lllsl have been washed out of them by ph) cocious mental dcbauchery-by glut| tony and lesson bibbing. Their lacuf| ties are worn out by. the strain pu upon their callow brains. and they aN demoral;:ed by worthless childish uf umphs before the real work Of lie H gins.

EORAkER RAISES
THE RACE ISSUE

Washington, May 7.-The senate to- day spent the major portion of the time on one amendment to the rail- road rate bill, but instead of accepting il, adopted a substitute. The pro vision which was made the basis of the discussion was that suggested by MT. Foraker, prohibiting the grant ing of rebates, passes, drawbacks or special rates to passengers on rail- ways and also prohibiting discrimina- tons in way of accommodations where equal rates are paid.
 The discussion took broad range, covering first the pass question an then the race question in the south ern states The race issue was rais- ed in connection with the clause rela- tive to discrimina tion which was in- terpreted as referring to separate cars for the races and it called out very warm protests from Mir. Bacon. Mir. Money MT. Culberson and other southern senators.
 Mir. Money-declared that he would not support the rate bill with pro- vision which raises the race issue.

1.-THE MAN WITH THE HoE."

An exchange tells us that Millet's famous painting, "The Man With the Hoe,," was in the Crocker art collec- ton in San Francisco and was prob- ably destroyed during the earthquake and fire It is very great pity II the painting has perished. It had un- usual merit as work of art and it's less would be irreparable. The Graphic hopes the picture was saved.
 It suggests the irony of fate that the picture is probably lost while Edwin Markham's vapid poem evoly- ed therefrom remains as it's interpre- tation. Millet was fond of painting French peasants and thought only of the picturesque quality of the stupid rustic he put on canvass. Markham found therein material for Socialist harangue in rhyme, but even from a Socialist point of view his argument and conclusions are entirely unwar- ranted and contradictory
 According to Markham this peasant was "bowed with the weight of cent uries" and had "the emptiness o1 ages in his face.' He had been made "dead to rapture and despair "stol- id and stunned, brother to the OK and the poet seems to accuse some body of the awful perversion of Gods handiwork, which such creature rep resented. Markham's poem argues labor degradation, and if those who labor and whose sires have labored were as he paints this peasant, there would be so marked line between that class and the children of the rich that only ages as long as those that made it could remove it. No laboring people could in many gene. rations be made fit for citizenship.
 Markham's poem is a islander on the lowlv born Despite some of it's striking phrases and really poetic ex- nressions it is fudge of the rankest description. and it has given Millets picture fatuous meaning that was not intended by the painter and which 1t should never have possessed.
 If the picture has survived the flames at San Francisco it will live down the mad reputation the poem made for it. Ii has artistic merit that will cause it alN>ys to be ap- preciated by the cultured when the roem that made transient appeal to shallow minds has been forgot

When You Write Abroad.

In writing to France or Italy, a post master pointed out the other day, the address should be printed, for the printed characters of French, Italian and English are alike, but of the writ ten ones this Is not true. The capital letter T, for instance, Is written in France and Italy like c. The top stroke is made as with us, but the downward stroke curves to the right instead of to the left. Our c Is taken for T abroad. Our T is taken for l or J. It Is important therefore to print instead of to write proper names on foreign letters. A letter addressed in writing to. for instance. d man named Treat would be thought by the French and Italian to be addressed to Treat, and in the general delivery department of the postotice il would he placed in the instead of in the T compartment. Thus when MT. Tre.t called for lis mail searci, of con.partcleat T would reveal no.L:a.s fo: him. a:-d his letter hidden among tie !'s. would never be delivered.

The Word "TariR."

The word tariff has an interesting origin. It is derived from the Arabic ia 'rifa, meaning an inventory of fees payable on demand, and became cur rent in the following way: A certain Moorish general, by name Tarifa, seized in the year TO upon a small seaport some twenty miles from what is now Gibraltar and the solthernmost town in Europe. Here he founded a station for levying toll on all craft trading in the neigh: DOT. sood and be- slowed his name upon tie place. after the manner of Constantine. Alexander and others. The word came eventual. ly to signify schedule of charges and passed into the French, Italian and English

Made the Benr Work.

Bill Winters uses his wit to save his strength. During a camping trip in the Maine woods Bill was easily the laziest man in the party. Finally his exas- perated comrades told him that if he did not kill something besides time they would pack him of home. The next morning Bill borrowed rife and went off up the mountains. Two hours later the men in camp saw Bill run ming down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was bear. The men watched the chase, with load ed rifles ready. On reaching camp Bill turned and shot the bear. When the men could stop laughing one of them said, Bill, what on earth possessed you to run that distance with the bear so close when you might have killed him on the hill and saved your breathF' Bill smiled slowly. Whats the use of killing a bear in the mountains and Juggling him in when you can run him iu?" he asked.-Boston Herald.

DAME RUMoR hints that the

Princess Charlotte of Oldenburg,

second son of Germany's ruler.
1t is said that the Princess has a

the Kaiser's Importance and mag
ni6cence. The heavens have not
fallen as yet, but the obseq uious

ing some such catastrophe, because
would you believe itl-his 'daugh-
ter-in.law has already openly con.
tradicted his Imperial Highness
and thwarted one or two of his
little pet purposes. AS though
this were not sufficient to turn gray
the hair from grief, this audacious
little Princess has exhibited
marked distaste for the stiff for
mality of the German court. And
(just think of twill wonders
never cease?) J, his royal imperious-
ness-so it is whispered-seems to
be just wee bit afraid of the live.

adopted an unusually deferential
attitude toward her.
