GaIleys Mixed.

In small country newspaper offices,
where the copy goes from the editor to
the compositor, then, after printing, di-
rectly to the subscriber, the need of a
proofreader is often felt. In this connec-
ton William Allen White, the Kansas
newspaper man, tells of an amusing break
made by boy in the Office Of such news
paper in that State. In making up" the
forms the boy got the galleys mixed with
the following result:
The first part of the obituary of an i'm
pecunious citizen had been dumped in
the forms, and the next handful of type
came from galley in which was de-
scription of fire. The subscribers were
greatly startled when they came to the
paragraph which read thus:
The pallbearers lowered the body in
the grave. 1t was consigned
to the flames. There were few, if any,
regrets, for the old wreck had been an
eyesore to the town for years. OF course,
there was individual loss but that was
fully covered by insurance"

r. r. D. Men Have Right of Way

The Postmaster General of the United
States has decided that when he puts
in a rural delivery carrier, he at once
transforms the highway he is to ira
verse every week day into post road
in the sense of the federal constitution.
Congress has power to establish post
roads. and the Postmaster General holds
that when rural carrier is put at work
his route is post road. 1t follows,
therefore, says an exchange, that he has
the right of way, on that road, and
all other wagons must get out of his
way-even automobiles and motor
cycles. The Postmaster General has is
sued an order that gives his thirty odd
thousand rural delivery carriers the
right of way on their respective routes.
1t is serious offence to interfere in any
manner with the United States mail,
even to make a rural carrier turn to
tie right or to the left Hereafter the
rural carrier will keep straight ahead in
the middle of the road.

Married Teachers, Etc.

Quite livelv controversy is likely to
be the result of the late action of the
Barre school commissioners in dsmissing
their seven married teachers. On the
one hand, it might be claimed, with
some degree of truth. that a married
woman would naturally make better
teacher, having, we will assume, child
rem of her own. And, on the other hand,
there is good ground for the belief that a
single woman makes better teacher be-
cause she has not the cares and tolls that
the mothers of men experience.
There are married women with child
rem that could never be fitted to become
teachers; and there are single women
that can bring up their married sisters
children better than their own mother
could. So this theory will not avail us
greatly in the matter. A good woman
is Heaven.sent blessing, be she single
or married. Perhaps the sterner sex
could do great deal toward solving the
problem involved, If the thousands of
young men, holding good positions, and
that are single today-and declare their
intention of so remaining-would each
take to himself "schoolmarm" and set
tie down to the simple life and get out
and hustle for his own fair maid, instead
of trying to throw ridicule on the whole
marriage relation, a great move in the
right direction would be made.
One of the greatest troubles is that the
average young mans manner of life
costs him so much that he can barely
pay his own bills, to say nothing of sup
porting home and being factor for
sober living and thinking in his commun-
ity. And when woman, who has de-
veloped taste far beyond the income of
her father, WEEDS this average man, there
Immediately exists condition similar to
that of the man that tried to lift himself

Another strange tale is going the
rounds in regard to find of a nugget of
gold in Shelburne. The gold is reported
to have been found in ledge on farm
near the village. This may be all true;
but we haven't time to hunt up that
ledge 1t is fact, however, that there is
gold in nearly every farm in the old State
if you only know how to get it out And,
instead of using prospectors hammer
or any other kind-the proper imple-
ments to work with would be plows,
cultivators, hoes, rakes, etc. 1t may be
a slower way to amass gold than the
nugget hunt, but its vastly more sure of
definite results.

Science, Society and the COED

The highest tributes to girl graduates
and to women in general that have re-
Gently been paid have come in the dis
guise of criticism and admonition. OF
course, a Lecture. however severe in tone,
that implies great compliment to ones
ability and rank is infinitely preferable
to a condescending compliment of the
hollow, conventional kind.
In his spirited book on "Sex and Soci-
ETY. ;" certain misunderstood chapters of
which have excited the displeasure of
feminine commentators, Professor Thorn
as really paid a remarkable tribute to the
intellectual qualities of woman. He as
cribed the alleged inferiority of the work
of professional and scientific women not
to lack of capacity for the several taskc
in the field of thought and speculation
but to the enforced 'amateurishness' of
women who enter the larger life.
Woman, he explained, has not quite been
taken in" by the former lords of crea-
ton as professional" and equal; she is
still regarded as stranger and invader.
Before she is judged let her have for sew
eral decades, if not centuries, full oppor-
tunty to apply herself as a professional
to her new vocations and functions.
Assuredlv that was fine recognition
of the claims of the most emancipated
among the fair sex.
Now comes Professor Henderson of the
same institution, the University of Chi
cago, and in an ostensibly "crue" re-
Duke to the CO. eds pays them the most
generous and handsome tribute conceiva-
BILE. He complains that too many of them
take "hghtI studies" and avoid mathe-
mates, law, political science, Greek
and philosophy. He!tells them that they
let men do the higher thinking for them
in theology, in politics and in economics.
But he also tells them that the world is
seriously suffering on account of this
failure of woman to do her full share of
the severest mental work, that our great
problems cannot be solved without the
aid of women, and that it is their duty
to society, as well as to themselves, to
cooperate with men on a footing of
equality.
And not long ago it was the fashion
to argue learnedly that woman was not
meant to be mans equal, that she hadn't
brains enough for that, and that she al.
ways remained, like Peter Pan, half a
child-a delightful, capricious creature to
be humored and cajoled and adorned, but
not to be. taken too seriously in any OF
the real things of life. Verify. woman
has made great progress-and man as
well. Mirror and Farmer.

Liquor Laws in Norway.

New Norwegian liquor laws are sue
cessful. The Sondag system gives power
to municipalities to grant all the retail
spirit licenses which they deem neces.
sary to company which would bind it.
self to carry on the traffic in the inter.
ests of the community, with fixed an
nual return of not more than 5 per cent.
on its paid up capital.
In establishing the system the ques'
ton of compensation does not appear
to have presented much difficulty. The
allotments of the profits are as follows
To the State, IS per cent. to the NUM-
cipality, in lieu of larger license duties
now abolished, IS per cent, and to OBJ
jects of public utility operating as count
er attractions to the public houses il
towns, 10 per cent, and in the surround
ing districts 10 per cent.
The profits of the trade under these
restrictions have contributed $7,000.OOC
for objects of public interest since the
founding of the system During the
last eight years the proportion accru
ing to the State has been increased
and set apart till 1910 to form the
nucleus of an old age pension fund
which now amounts to $2,300,000. The
most remarkable fact in the history OF
Norway sobriety, is that the consump
ton of alcohol per inhabitant has de-
creased about As per cent in the las
fifty years. The decrease has been mos
marked since the establishment of the
Sondag system.
The aims and principles of the Son
dag system are these: The elimination
of private profit and securing the mon
opoly value for the public; insuring
highest quality of liquors sold; the re
duction of the number of licenses; thu
easy enforcement of the law; the de
truction of the power Of the spirits
trade; and the furtherance of all pro
