Aristocratic Hens.

A rather poor family unexpectedly came into possession of a fortune. They purchased a large farm, with hens, cows and pigs. One day the little daughter of the family was showing a visitor about the place.

The oriqin of Gotham.

This name. Gotham. was first ap-
piled to the city of Manhattan in n
book of humorous sketches called
"Salmagundi," written about 1907 by
Washington Irving In collaboration
with his brother Peter and the poet
Paulding. 1t was evidently intended
to suggest that the people of New
York made updue pretensions to wis
dom, and that there were both sa-
tine and wit in the suggestion is
SHOWN by the story of tho original
Gothamites.
Gotham was n parish in Noting
hamshire, England. The old story
tells how King John wished to pass
through the parish, but the people
there, fancying that the passage of
the King over a route made 1t n pub.
lie road, decided to prevent the trans
it Ivy all pretending to be crazy.
Therefore, when the King and his
party arrived they found every one
of the inhabitants employed in some
peculiarly foolish task. Thus, n group
were joining hands around thorn
bush to keep cuckoo from getting
away; some were trying to drown
an eel, others dipping water with n
sieve, and so on. When the King saw
these performances he swore Mt the
people for a pack of idiots, and turn.
ing, departed with all his retinue.
The Gothamites were delighted with
the success of their scheme for turn
ing aside the King, regarding it as
superlatively clever
After this, Gotham came to have
the reputation of being a sort of
Headquarters for cOnceited fools In
the time of Henry VIII book EMIT
led "The Merry Tales of the Mad
Men of Gotham was published.
Among these was the story of the
Three Wise Men of Gotham" one OF
whose exploits was to go to sea in

is the only day n men may be
dropped from the force without trial
or hearing of anykind and it takes
place once il every three years-this
fateful May 4. 1t is known that many
men are likely to be let out tomor-

ly ~reorganized. Many murders and
other crimes ave been committed in
Kansas City within the last few
months and the failure of the police
to discover the perpetrators is n of
the causes OF prospective changes.

ROOSEVELT AT JAMESTOWN.

Wall Street Journal.
Three centuries ago on the coloni-
cation of Virginia at jamestown, the
world little apprenended that one
day the product of that sowing would
blossom forth a Nation of almost nine
ty million souls, the acknowledged
leader in the cause of human freedom
and abreast with the most advanced
in civilization, commerce, science and
invention. Such a wonderful transi-
ton the world has never witnessed,
nor was it ever called upon to solve
the problems that the infant civiliza-
ton of the New World had to meet
and face. A contemplation of these
today fills us with wonder, not u1mix
ed with admiration for the substantial
formative efforts of Americas pio-
neers. Looking downward through
the winding aisles of three hundred
a of struggle and vicissitude,
bravely endured and patiently with
stood, it was altogether appropriate
for President Roosevelt, in his ad-
dress today at jamestown, to lay
stress upon the grave responsibilities
of the present that crown the summit
of our National achievement. It was
in keeping with the purposeful intent
of the man to bring about in business
and politics a sane idealism, and was
III every T6Sp6cL worthy OI IulS his
toric occasion.
Wealth, both corporate and i1di
vidual, which has expanded in proper
ton to our unprecedented prosperity,
must be opposed, said he. when it
i'll. 1t must not be turned against
the legitimate interests of the public
nor should it be so fettered as tt de-
stroy individual initiative. The chan
nels in which it is to nov must be
marked out in no spirit of vindictive
but with due regard to the right
of its owners in a spirit of practical
morality. This, he would like to see
with temperatures and
equity, but with unshakable resolu-
ton; for the State must be preserved
as well as reformed and the best way
prove ourselves a friend of proper
ty is to refuse to tolerate it's abuses.
those responsible for the preva-
unreasoning and indiscriminate |
enactments against corpor
atoms, particularly against the rail
roads, we commend a thoughtful peru
sal of this advice. His sentence:
purpose is to build up rather
than to e a down." is a tex which is
fairly aimed at them.
When he adds, "and we care not

lister agitation directed against all
property or whether it is due to the
datory classes whose anti-social pow
er is UNNECESSARILY increased because
of the very fact that they possess
BILE proof of the Presidents optimism
and confidence in the judgment of the
people to go direct to the o of the
evils attendant on wealth, 40 matter
what the moving causes may have
been, and to deal with them adequate
ly and justly. In doing SO ne admon-
ished them to bear in mind the prin-
ciple that our safety lies in preserving
the interests of the whole people-not
the interests of a class, either plu-
tocratic or vindictive. Equality and op
portunity are the common heritage
of every American citizen, and if we
keep this concept before us, the char
acter of the Nation, individually and
collectively, must improve. From the
trained intelligence acquired in our
schools ne sees the promise of a
higher sense of responsibility and
in the average citizen, and,
with these, still greater triumphs for
free government.
Wealth cannot take exception to
such constructive utterances, nor cor
p~orations find a menace in his words.
Reform, determined and impartial,
but with moderation, justice and equi-
ty is all he asks, and this will find a
responsive echo in the hearts of all
righteous and decent citizens.

MississiooI EDUCATORS.

Gulfport, Miss, May 3-Delegates
to the twenty-second convention OF
the Mississippi Teachers association
held their first business session this
morning in the pavilion at the n of
the pier. The feature was the discus
sion of the report of the committee
on course OF study IN the common
schools. Separate sessions were neld
by the various sections, including the
department of high schools and col
leges, the department of school sup
e~rintendents, the department of rural
and elementary schools and the scien
tifc department. This afternoon the
teachers will enjoy an excursion on
the gulf. DIR. E. B. Craighead, presi-
dent of Tulane university at New Or
leans, will deliver an address this ev-
eaing on the subject of "A Training
School for Teachers" which will mark
the opening Of campaign by the Mis-
sissippi teachers to secure the pas
sage of a law by the next legislature
providing for the establishment of a
state normal school. An interesting
feature of the session tomorrow will
be the presentation of a memorial to
the famous Mississippi poet, Irwin
Russell, funds for which were raised
by the teachers of the state. The me-
mortal will be accepted by Director
Dunbar Rowland of the department
of archives and history, who will
place it in the states hall of fame.

causes, and they depend on the 9th
er. In SO far as values have arisen
because of speculative or semispecu-
lative purchases, because of a tenn
porary plenty of money and a sue
cession of good crop years, it may
be a fictitious rise.
If real and permanent values in five
years have increased one-nalf of 50
per cent. the farmer has p~rospered to
a remarkable degree, and probably
far beyond the increase in the pros
perity of any other large class.
If he be wise, he will reckon as a
real increase in value, only SO much
as has come from these permanent
causes. 1t is interesting to notice
that the increase in farm land values
by sections of the country, has in
these five years beef as follows:
The Southwestern States, 40 per
cent; Western States AZ per cent:
South Atlantic States, SO per cent,
and North Atlantic States Is per
cent. Measured by the crops that the
land produces, cotton land showed
the greatest increase, 4S per cent;
hay and grain land, So per cent; live
stock farms, "a per cent. The far
mer, therefore, is the man of all who
is now entitled to the ~sincerest fell
citations. What orators and poets
said about him for a thousand
years seems at least TO he coming
true.
