About the funniest play I have seen vas that of the Board of Health with
terpret tn first VIZ letters in the ttle-the whole conocahon of letters only
means Diseoverer IF the Female Rocks. WELL the Doctor got the better If
the Board Of Health at the legislative meeting, whereupon al astonishing thing
happened-Presdent Pinkham ineontinenty surrendered. Pinkham is nt a
surrender man by nature, by bringing up or by education and his complete

do 90 much for Wallach. After all, Wanach was a fine fellow. He should

handsomely paid for his trouble. When I read all this I rubbed my eyes

collective eyes and then it broke into a most amiabe grn. 1t had wn the

When the Board got things into this position it woke right u p ad took
smashed Walach to a turn, And Pinkham himself received the blow with
III best imitation If sheepy meekness I ever saw. He actually turned the
other cheek-and incidentally winked the other eye. Talk about you col

I believe it would be a good plan to have a policeman o duty near the
churches during hours Of service to keep the ndghborhood reasonably
service in o"e OF the churches for at least i've minutes Beled pushcarts OF
candy wagons commit the same nuisance nj sometimes small boys yell and
just outside the open windows Of the sanctuary. The presence of a police
nan at sue times would be well worth while.

ne othef Gay IN going u the Punaho line somewhere near PunchboWl
street, / noticed a small girl walking about a foot from the track with her
back to the approaching car. The motormanr rang buly but. thu chld walked,
anything, nearer the danger point. Finally the car crawled by and the
child, laughing skipped to the sidewalk. The motorman told me that this
thing was happening all the time He thought, eventually, here would be an
killing IN perhaps a pemeditated damage suit.

The spaniards look as if they were worth while. They are a fne peasantryI
and well, III doubt, give us new ideas of the Spanish character. 1t is a
singular fact that America judges Spain by its record in the fourteenth century
and there is a lurking suspicion among our orthodox classes that in som Of
the outofthe-way corners of Alfonso's kingdom, they still burn people they
hke-a practice which is really confined to the Southern States of
America. Then again W e unconscUuay class Spanards with the mongrels of
the race, the Latin Americans who come Of ancient Spanish unions with the
negro ad the Indian. That ism air. What w are going to fnd, I think, a
these new people are the admirable qualities that mark the best class of
