THE "DRAGO DOCTRINE"

What is the ''Drago doctrine, :" which is to be excluded from the de- Alterations of The Hague confer ence? It has nothing to do with the late Queen Draga of Servia, but de- rives its name from Dr. Drago, for eign minister of the Argentine Re- public, who, initiating the example of President Monroe, enunciated the convenient theory that debts owed to the citizens of one government by those of another may not be "col- lected" by force. This was when the combined fleets of England, Ger many and Italy in 1909 appeared off Venezuela and caused MT. Kipling to write his Blowers" This "Drago doctrine" was naturally hailed with enthusiasm by all the money-borrow- ing republics of South America but they were told from Washington that it could not be regarded as a subclause of the Monroe doctrine.

POORLY PAID TEACHERS.

1t is a notorious fact that school masters were once regarded as a servile class and treated accordingly. Their remuneration was ridiculously small, often amounting only to the right of living from house to house.
 But it is doubtful if a more pe- culiar method of paying schoolmas- ters was ever devised than that which prevailed in certain English counties, notably Cumberland, dur ing the early eighteenth century. Just before the beginning of Lent the boys would arrange to hold a cock fight, and each boy would make q payment to the master for the privilege. The "cock penny" was regarded legitimate item in the masters income.-Sunday Maga- zine.

Government Surprised.

Washington, June.-The statement coming from Tokio to the effect that uneasiness existed there on account of the dissatisfaction of the Japan ese officials at the attitude of America in relation to the San Francisco uou- bles caused some concern in official circles here Monday, and there were expressions of surprise from those who believed they had seen in the whole-souled exchange of felicita ions incident to General Kuroki's visit to Washington and Jamestown a man Hesitation of the best of feeling be tween America and Japan. What has caused the reported change of feel ing at Tokio is a puzzle to official Washington, because it cannot be learned that there has been any re cent exchanges between the two gov ernments relative to the treatment o1 Japanese in San Francisco.

REBUKE FOR THE VICAR
Farmers Remark Put an End te Further laudation of Clerical
 GentIeman's Achievement.

To test the safety of the church steeple, North-country vicar climbed it with a scaling-ladder-a feat requiring no small amount of nerve. Naturally he was proud of his achievement, and talked rather more about it than was, perhaps, consistent with clerical modesty. He even called a meeting of his parish- toners, and described to them, with a wealth of detail, his feelings while aloft.
 "Whep I reached the top and saw the huge golden weathercock gleam- ing in the sunlight, what do you think I did?" he asked.
 An old farmer, who looked the picture of boredom, hazarded a guess.
 "You cheated the weathercock, !" he said.
 "What do you mean, sir" sharply demanded the vicar.
 "Why, you did it out of the job of crowing," the unperturbed old farmer replied.
 The vicar cut short his discourse then.-London Answers.

French Strikers Surrender.

Paris. June.-The extended strike or the seamen has virtually come to an end with the equalization of the strik- CTS who are expected to resume work at the home and colonial ports Tues- day. Capt. La Peyre, one of the strlk- CTS delegates, conveyed this informa- ton to the Minister of Marine Thomp'
 son, at a late hour Monday evening.
 He informed M. Thompson that the strike committee assembled in Paris had telegraphed the following mes sage to all ports: The delegates have been in conference with the min- ister of marine and the naval com- mittee of the chamber of deputies, and he has requestel the navigation
 companies to rSinstate all officers and men. The members of the naval committee assured the delegates that
 M. Thompson's proposition in the mat ter of pensions would be approved. The delegates therefore unanimously propose that the strike cease. In the course of his long conference with the strikers delegates, MT. Thomp- son declared it was impossible to ac- cede to their demands. He said, how
 ever, that all propositions would be
 considered if the strikers returned to
 duty immediately in which case no punishment would be meted out, and fthe ship owners would be requested to retain both officers and men in their former positions.

Toxic, Jure.-Leading persons ir and out of politics seem to have a feeling of apprehension regarding Ja State. Actual hospitality, however, is not thought of, but it is considered here that the peculiar attitude in which the federal government is plac ed in regard to state autonomy, and the defiant attitude of the labor in terests against Japan's treaty rights as manifested in the second San Fran cisco incident, make politicians un easy.
