Another Choate storv.

1t is related of Joseph Choate, that
when he was a very young man, Just
starting out to practice law, he was
once retained by shopkeeper to de
fend him in a suit for damages brought
by an employe. Unfortunately for Mr.
Choate, his client lost his head com
pletely under cross-examination, fur
nishing evidence so favorable to the
prosecution as to result in a $4,000
verdict.
The merchant was, nevertheless
highly indignant with his lawyer fol-
having lost the case and when they
encountered each other at the court
room door, he clustered:
IF 1 had a son born an idiot I'd
make him a lawyer"
Your father seems to have been OF
another opinion" replied young Choate
coolly.-Harper's Weekly.
There are as many different varieties
of dangerous women as there are styles
of doing the hair.

What Will Become of the
Little Red School House!


5000. Twenty States now have con-
solidation, and all of them report 1t IN
successful, operation at a big reduction
in cost Iowa reports that consollda-
ton has been adopted in ty-three
districts Of twenty eight counties. In
diana reports that 1S1 wagons trans
port $500 children in fifty-one counties,
the largest number being in Whitley
County, where seventy-three wagons
carry lila children. In La Grange
County, Indiana, thirty-eight schools
were closed and 42s pupils transported
at a saving of $6,734 yearly.
From the reports of the twenty
States using the system the average
cost per month for transporting child
to and from school daily is $3.50.
This matter Of transportation has
been the stumbling block in the way
of the general adoption Of the system.
Farmers say that the cost is too much

frequently made sick by exposure to-

wet feet and damp clothing after wad-

way to school.
Regarding the cost Of transportation,
he says that the farmers are already
maintaining the most expensive system
possible. He says that through the
sending of children to graded schools
and high schools, the farmers are
paying double TOLL not only
maintaining their own inefficient
schools but assisting through tuition
charges in maintaining city schools. He
has secured figures which largely prove
his assertion.
Advantages of Consolidation.
The advantages arising from consol-
idation, according to Dean Davenport,
are as follows:
ct is much cheaper for the same
grade of school,
schools can be provided, because fewer
teachers being needed, a better grade
can be secured, a division Of labor es-
tablished, and some sort of supervis-
ion established.
1T makes possible country school
equal in every sense to the best city
schools, yet within the reach of farm
homes.
"The health of the children Is bet

of roads in all kinds of weather.
1.-The number who will attend school
is found to be larger when children
are conveyed; the attendance is more

Eneland's National Color.

Why red should have been selected
as the national color becomes intel
ligible when we look at the cross of
St George. Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote Of how their own sea hath
whelmed those red cross powers" was
merely anticipating the phrase Of to-
day. But Oliver Cromwell, when for
the first time he put the English SOL
der in a red coat, probably did as
much as st. George to monopolize red
as the national color. The aggressive
color has, however, many meanings
and has lent itself to many uses. In
the days Of the Romans when II
fiared on the head of slave it stood
for freedom; in the days of the French
revolution it stood for freedom backed
by blows, while in the streets Of the
city today the red cross stands for
succor. So far back as the reign of
Henry II. there was red book Of the
exchequer, record Of the names Of
all who held lands ''per baroniam,"
and at this moment persons of conse-
quence In the service Of the state find
their names entered in a red book

Curious Marriage Customs


Wedding customs in Servia, that lit
tie kingdom in Europe, are curious in
deed from an American standpoint.
For instance, neither the bride nor the
bridegroom Is the most important fig
ure In a Servian wedding, but the best
man takes the leading part. He care
fully guards the bride all the day be-
fore the wedding takes place, and
sleeps outside her chamber the night
before the girl Is to be married. He
wears big stiff sash made of heavy
silk, carries big white staff and a
huge bouquet all for himself. There
are no bridesmaids, but two god
fathers, each Of whom presents to the
bride silk dress. After the priest
has performed the ceremony the best
man takes the bride around the church
and she kisses all her girl friends good
by and Is finally carried of to the
bridegroom, who at last gets his wife
from the hands Of the best man. Then
the happy couple return to their In
tended home. Bridal tours are foreign
to Servian ideas and only the very rich
or the nobility indulge in them.

Phoenix Park, Dublin.


OF all the pleasure grounds we saw
abroad I liked Phoenix park, In Dub
lin, the best, says a writer in the
Guidon. It covers nearly 1000 acres,
and the seven mile drive around it is
delightful M ~ e8
Acres of it are let to citizens for pas
turage, and herds of fat kline lazily
chewing under the trees or idly stand
ing In a cool stream give touch not
found in any other resort.
On one plat when we were there a
detail of his majesty's redcoats were
pract1eing target shooting. Yonder
came three dragons back from a cross
country run. The vice regal lodge,
plain and white, looked in spite of the
vastness Of the green grounds about 1t,
hot and uninviting In the glare Of the
August sun.
In sight of the house, but long way
from 1t, is the spot where Cavendish
and Burke were murdered some years
ago. In vain do the gardeners try to
keep grass above it. AS fast as a bit
grows it is taken up and carried off by
relic hunters.
Scores of deer were roaming about,
so tame that they frequently came
close to our car. One big stretch of
rolling land was crossed and recrossed
with what looked In the distance like
bitches. They are troughs, our driver
told us, into which at morning and
night water is pumped for the deer,
which come there by the hundreds to
drink.
