BEARS AND DA3lES.

Some "philosophic thought payer
has been glorifying the teddy Lelrs
because the children's familiarity Nith
than tends to dispel their fear and
hatred OF animals and make ClGm
humane and loving. But IL the midst
OF the applause stirred up by this dis
covery there comes q clergyman OF st.
Joseph, Mich, who breaches hot!y
against the same woozy little toy-for
what reason? For the reason, aS be
gees It, that the attractive and loyable
little beasts in the hands OF the little
girls are destroying all the instincts
Of Motherhood The reverend gentle
man predicts a worse development OF
race suicide than ever as result OF
the blighting effect Of the teddy bear
on the maternal feelings of the rising
female generation.
This is very curious idea; probab-
ly It will take decades OF terrible toll
in the child study departments OF the
universities to determine whether
there is anything in It. II We may be
permitted mere conjecture, we
should say that exactly the opposite
result from that apprehended by the
Michigan clergyman is to be expected.
It Is all case Of playing mother"
anyway; the little girl cultivates the
disposition by her tense interest in
the toy; and the waning OF the teddy
bear craze will probably be followed
by an unexampled development Of the
doll business.
And BY and by, In her search for
the most beautiful forms Of diversion,
the little girl grown bigger. substi-
tutes live man for both doll and
teddy bear. This Is when the ques-
t!on really arises.

evolved, according to Mrs Rogers, who
Is "a cross between magnified, rath-

Mrs Rogers's indictment of her sex is
true, it must be said for the men

ELECTIVE AFFINtTIES.

Chemists first noted the disposition
OF substance brought into contact
with other substances to cleave to
the one for which it has the stronger
affinity, says the New York World.
But II is to artists and the posses
surs of the artistic temperament gem
orally since Goethe's day that we owe
the application Of the principle 10
human beings. The fact that the af-
fnity is not always found at the first
trial, and usually not until her youth
ful bloom is seen in contrast with
fading charms at home, does not nee
essarily indicate n defect In the law so
much as u lack OF opportunities OF
comparison and selection. A hus-
band familiar with green-rooms may
be expected TO find his affinity much
sooner than the one less favored with
facilities.
Usually the sffinity is kept In the
background until the divorce proceed
ines make her appearance essential
to the interlocutory decree. But II
the old reproach that America has
sacrificed art to commercialism Is not
TO be deserved. a professional artist
should at least be accorded the same
privileges in the choice of an affinity
as a steel president.

AMBAsSApORIAL LUXURY.

Some OF our innocents abroad ap-
pear to be much scandaliZed by the
eYtravagant style OF living displayed
by the American Ambassador at the
Court Of st. James. Whitelaw Reid.
They say that though his salary is but
s1y,500 h!s house In London must cost
him not less than 100000. This lux
ury they regard as In shameful con-
trast with the simplicity Of the lives
of Franklin and Jefferson when repre-
sentatives OF this country in France.
Yet matters and customs have chang
cd since then. even In diplomacy.
Franklin and Jefferson were no less
honored at the extravagant court OF
Versailles than II they had expend-
ed 5000 900 a year, and Whitelaw Reid
has no more political consideration
with the British Government than II
he confined his expenditure to his SAL
ary OF S1i,500 Others have done 1t
before him and have made very res
pectable figure In English society.
Whose business Is It II Ambassador
Reid expend his own money layishly
In dispensing his hospitality as Ameri-
can Ambassador? He does the same
thing at home when private citizen
in his splendid residence in Madison
Square. Should he be required to
change his style of living on his trans
fer from Now York to London and In
exchanging his private station for
diplomatic post? There is no neces-
sity that his successor should BE- a
millionaire capable Of vying with him
in expenditure. With his home fur
nished him an American Ambassador
can live very respectfully on $l75Oo n
wear. and many good men will ee
willing to take the position on the
same terms.

THE pRuNKARD's BLACKLIST.

In Fond du Lac, Wis, there Is a
portrait gallery which grows apace. 1t
Is made up OF pictures of the towns
habitual drunkards. Every saloon Is
q branch gallery Woe and license
forfeited for every saloon-keeper who
sells a drink to a man whose face Is
in the collection, says the New York
Times.
From this It is perceived that Fond
du Lac is q town which initiates but
does not learn. London had the idea
OF the picture blacklist ordinance in
1903 and discarded 1t in 1904. 1t did
not work 1t never will work. Where
there Is a determined thirst there Is a
way which cannot be blocked by a
photograph hung on a wall. Besiden.
the way to cure durable man Of ev-
II is not by triding with whatever he
may have remaining Of self-respect.
A town burgess in Pennsylvania. by
name Ponnypacker, also tried the
blacklist scheme few years ago and
promoted chiefly the gayety Of the un-
listed.
Solon OF Athens punished inebriety
with death. Lycurgus OF Sparta des-
troyed his vineyard to cut OF the
wino-bibbers. II Is far cry from
these classical examples OF heroic
dee ling with drunkards to the nagging
processes Of saloon rogues' galleries.

"plEASE" ON THE PHONE.

The $50 girl operators Of the Key
stone Telephone Company will not
say please" to the subscribers, and
the subscribers have been requested
not to say please" to the operators.
The word is used here 100000 times In
twenty four hours on the average. -
Philadelphia Dispatch.
If this idea could be carried out In
every business in the world. what u
wonderful saving of time would result!
The marvel is that the genius of the
Philadelphia telephone company has
not thought 1t out before.
Billions on billions of hours a day
could be saved by cutting out all the
courtesies of life and reducing every
thing to the level Of the cave-dwellers.
Think OF how much time could be
saved by leaving off the prefix MI"
IN addressing your less Intimate
friends No statlstician can calculate
how much breath could be spared by
wives and sweethearts II they would
abandon the use of terms OF endear-
ment.
The time-saver Of the telephone e4-
change might better have adopted n
rule against expletives in denunciation
OF the usually vexatioug service. IL
the time spent In holding the wire and
the time spent In cussing out the op-
orator could be reduced to statistics
It probably would make the waste on
politeness look trivial. Here is where
the most economy Of telephone t!mc
can be effected.

COST OF LIVING.

A very reassuring publication Is
made by the bureau OF Labor at
Washington, giving tables of statis-
tics TO show that the percentage Of
increase in the wages of labor Is
greater than that Of the cost Of food.
The computation is ingenious even
II obscure and unconvincing. But tho
main consideration, in accepting or
rejecting the conclusion. is that our
people do not subsist on statistics as
q regular diet, and that the butcher
and grocer and baker do not base
their price lists upon the per cent OF
averages. Every housewife knows,
better than the Washington statistic
ian, whether the weekly wages buy as
much as they used to buy.

To elderly people London is no lon

horror and difficulty, a region of hide

down lampposts and impinging on the
shelters, the unfortunate citizen
knows not whittier to wend his
trembling steps.-London Graphic.

those who want to know how people
are ever going TO get about in the

AUTOMOBILE SLAUGHTER.

The number and frequency and ia
tality of automobile accidents are ap-
palling. Not day passes without an
addition to the mortuary record. And
the popularity OF II all is that the
'scorchers" are the victims IN the
great majority Of cases. The number
of innocents slain by the speed mani
acs Is comparatively small.
We doubt, however, that this looks
to reform in the use OF power vehicles.
Other people have learned how to get
out Of the way; the scorchers have not
learned how TO take care OF them
selves.
But we are In a transition period.
and before long It will be brought
about that the perils OF riding in an
automobile are no greater than those
Of the pedestrian who gets in the way
Of these machines.-Boston Post.

PROGRESS,

The arts and sciences advance at

ism. The steam locomotive, the most
fascinating of mechanisms in the eyes
OF boy, is gradually being lost TO
our youth. In place of its throbblng
soul we are brought face to face with
the lifeless electric motor. Instead
of noble Percherons. Normanuies,
Clydesdales and Cleveland Bays haul
ing our merchandise we are rapidly
getting used to autotrucks, which have
no Interest beyond the fact Of their
utility.

WEST POINT
FACES SCANDAL

WEST POINT, N. Y, June SIN
the absence of her husband who had
gone to New York for the day, Mrs.
Elizabeth Fairfax Ayres declined to-
day to discuss the details of the suit
for damages which it is said she is
about to bring against several of the
high officers of the United States milf
tary academy. Mrs. Ayres said the
case now is in the hands of a New
York lawyer and the formal papers In
the suit soon will be served.
If the case comes to trial it is be-
lieyed that some interesting side lights
will be thrown on the social life at
the academy. Under ordinary circum-
stances any Misunderstanding in
which the officers of the academy or
their wives might become involved
would be threshed out before a court
martial and the testimony never would
be published. In this case. however,
appeal is to be made to the civil courts
and any testimony probably would be
given in public.
Mrs. Ayres is the wife of Lieutenant
Colonel Charles G. Ayres. who return
ed Saturday on leave of absence fol-
lowing duty in the Philippines and is
now stationed at the academy. She
resides just outside the reservation, in
Highland Falls. and under a recent
order issued upon request OF the
academy oficiais Mrs. Ayres is denied
