attention of any teacher.
She kept running down a little more
each year until finally a genuine case
of nervous prostration set in and she
was confined TO her bed for eight
months, a perfect wreck, physically

thought it was due to overwork, but
she now knows it was due to improper

seeks to abrogate the charter rights
Of the railroad company. This would
be the result of its enforcement. 1t
is claimed that the law and its pro-
visions are in conflict with the inter
state commerce act, and that its en-
forcement would cost the PennsylVa-
MIA road more than $1,000 900 a
year, through the reduction of fares.
It also is claimed that the penalty
fixed is excessive, and would lead to q
multiplicity of suits not contemplated
by the law.

the people Of Richmond 1t is esti-
mated that portions of this very same
cow reached at least fifty different
families and thereby exposed them to
the dreaded onslaughts Of tubercu-
losis. The conditions are such as to
arouse the most conservative in Rich
mond and illustrates the fact that

cattle and immediate steps should be
brought about TO clinch government
inspection now that it is almost with
in the grasp of the people and can be
secured by simply acting quickly.
Bullock Was Condemned.
An eleven hundred pound bullock
was~Tuesday afternoon condemned by
DR.. Waggoner, government inspector
at the abattoir, because it was TEEN
ing with symptoms of tuberculosis.
Neither the abattoir officials nor Mr.
Waggoner would state that the animal
was condemned but Palladium rep
resentative made a trip To the steam
vat where all condemned animals are
destroyed and the tank was tightly
sealed with wire seal on which were
the words: II. s Condemned" The
seal was firmly clamped so that in
case of tampering it could be easily
detected. When the Palladium rep
resentative next approached DR.. Wag-
goner and asked for a notification of
the condemnation of the bullock he
simply smiled and winked. The abb

other case had been found on their

nothing to say, but when the butchers
of the place were approached, they
acknowledged the fact after much
questioning.
Oscar Paddock stated that he had
been called in when the animal
was found and it was suffering from
an attack of tuberculosis, and Dr.
Waggoner had placed his condemned
stamp all over the carcass.

Butchers Lose Nothing.

Butchers of the city will lose moth
ing by government inspection as they
now think, and in fact will be protect
ed in case of prosecution. If council
enforces the ordinance recently pass
ed. which it undoubtedly will, every
butcher and groceryman in the city
who handles meat can be held liable
individually for not handling thor
oughIy inspected meats, while the
state officials can fail back directly
on the butchers individually il con-
talninated or diseased meat Is found
on their premises. II they secure
government inspection they will be
protected. The butchers have no In
terest IN the slaughtering houses pro-
per other than butchering their meats
there and are therefore making moth
ing by their apparent fight against
government inspection but are risking
great deal.

spain and the Peculiar Temperament
of It's People.
II l were asked to sum up the domi-
nant impression that the survival In
Spain Of the old world mediaevalism
makes, l should say that Spain Is in
the precise and specific sense of the
word the home Of romance. The spe-
cial character of the Spanish tempera-
ment and of Spanish developments In
literature and in art is marked by a
quality, rising and sinking with the
rise and fall of Gothic, which we call
the romantic spirit-a mixture, that is.
Of the mysterious and grandiose with
the grotesquely bizarre of the soaringly
ideal with the crudely real, a mixture
which to us today has the cunning fas-
cinatlon Of art, but was really on both
sides the natural outcome of the ex-
periences and feelings of the men who
created 1t. This romantic spirit was
once the common possession Of all
Christendom, but the Spanish tempera-
ment peculiarly lent itself to the TO-
mantle attitude, and 1t is in Spain to-
day that we may catch Its final vanish
Ing echoes. 1t is the church, always
the most powerful stronghold of tradi-
tion among any people, which enables
the stranger most wildly to realize
how well the romantic spirit has been
preserved in Spain. Notwithstanding
invasions from without and revolutions
from within, especially during the
early years of the last century, Spain
Is still the country where the mediae-
val spirit of romantic devotion is most
splendidly embodied and preserved
