HERMAN RIDDER's PREDICTION

Herman Ridder. editor of the New
York Stats Zeitung, is making a tour
of the Pacific coast. In an interview
the other day Mr.. Ridder declared that
Bryan would be elected. He said he
would like TO stump for the Democratic
ticket in September. declared that the
tariff is the main issue and that the
hope of the people in this respect lies
in the success OF the Democratic
party.
Mr.. Rider asserted positively that
the Germans will support Bryan to a
man. and gave it as his opinion that
the Independence party will cut a pitt
fully small figure in the campaign, and
that politically w. r. Hearst is a
dead one"
The great German editor is still on
the trail of the paper trust, and, incl
dentally, all other rascally combina-
lions.

HELP SADLY NEEDED.

A pitifui story comes from New York
of the feeble but useless efforts of four
little children. two sets of twins, TO
bread in a doorway; how a passing dog
seized the bread and made off with it.
while the four babes broke out into a
plaintive wall. Had they secured the
bread ii would have been their first
morsel of food for twenty-four. hours,
and as good a meal as they had en-
joyed in months. The bread had been
tossed to them by a little boy who had
had his fill.
An hour later the father returned
and staggered into the presence of his
starving wife and children, and by a
despairing gesture informed them that
he had failed to find work, money or
food. Eleven months ago the man,
who is a silversmith by trade. lost his
position. When his little savings were
exhausted the furniture was sold piece
by piece until nothing was left in the
little rooms called home.
The family was discovered the next
day after the children had made the
struggle to save their morsel of bread
from the dog sitting dejectedly on the
sidewalk. the four little ones scraping
the gutter for stray pieces of water
melon rind. When given bread and
milk they became frantic in their en-
deavors to gulp it all at once.
This is not an isolated case. There
are plenty such in all the large cities
of the country. Business has not re-
vived TO such an extent that there is
work enough for all, and countless
thousands in the crowded tenement
districts must be face to face with the
gaunt wolf of famine How the unfor-
tunate ones will manage to exist
through the cold. dreary winter
months presents a picture too awful
to contemplate.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

| The new president of the National
Educational association, Lorenzo Dow
Harvey, is firm advocate of industrial
education. He believes that the first
duty of the public school system is TO
provide such a variety of schools as
shall furnish opportunity for the initial
preparation necessary to earn. a living.
The Importance of this idea is realized
when the fact is made known that 80
per cent of the pupils who complete the
elementary course in the public schools
earn a living through some form of
manual labor
Another eminent educator calls at
tention to the possibility of offering this
kind of training to over age" pupils.
who are found in considerable numbers
i'll the lower grades of grammar schools
These boys are mentally slower than
| their mates. and are at the present
time left to work their way through the
grades as best they can For these
youths vocational work of the kind sug-
gested would offer manifest advan-
tages.
Salt Lake public schools have a sys-
tenn of manual training which, we be-
lieve, is doing a world of good and
should be extended to the greatest pos
slble degree. Girls as we'll as boys need
such instruction as will best fit them
for the battle of life. whether in the
industrial field or the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the home
III Mr.. Harvey succeeds in ENGRAVING
this idea upon the schools of the coun-
try he will have accomplished a great
work

BRIDGE WHIST

by standing in with the royal family. This
makes it evident, without explanation
that the game was invented in England
The fascination of bridge lies partly In
the fact that the game continues to be
interesting long after the last card has
been played The participants generally
play rubber of three games. and then
spend the rest of the evening doing sums
in simple addition, to find out who won.
Tonight they will find out who won last
nights game, but they will not find out
who won tonights game until some one
remembers to bring home another tablet
of scratch paper.
The varying vaI--S in bridge account
for its peculiarly exasperating qualities
and its skill in breaking up families. The
lead pencil is forever elbowing its way
into the game and multiplying the most
brilliant playing. The winners may. by
the most magnificent and supersc{ SSillat-
ing whist, manage to drag out a trick
in the face of great od9s and win rub
Der. Yet. at the end of the game, the
losers may excuse themselves. and, after
half an hours work with a bank exam
liner. demonstrate that the winners owe
them anywhere from 80 cents to a months
house rent simply because the losers were
skilful enough to hold the honor cards
that were dealt them.
Thus. as in pugilism, the strong point
in bridge whist lies in counting your OPP
ponents out. There are other and more
narrowing ways of doing it, too. When
your opponent has made the trump. you
may decide that you have the requisite
seven tricks in your hand. If you are a
sport, you will then "double"-that is,
double the amount which the extra trick
will win. If your opponents are people of
nerve and recklessness. they will "dou-
bic back. thus quadrupling the values.
You are then likely, after hasty mental
inventory of your securities to double once
more, thus multiplying the trick by eight.
after which the game will proceed with
clenched teeth, each trick lost meaning
another opera ticket gone. 1t is under
these circumstances that ladies who are
otherwise lovely and amiable have been
known to whip out trump after re
voking." and sweep the boards with a
cold and naughty air which defies criti.
cism, providing their social <r5sitiotls are
sufficiently above those of their victims
Such incidents lead the wrathful losers
to make remarks. which in time become
rumors. and before any one realizes 1t an
other social center has been shaken to
the core.

WAITING FOR A FORTUNE.
BIinkey Not Worrying Over 1t, Not
the Least Bit, but All Ready for 1t.
New York Sun


Like many another man. Mr.. Blinkey is
always hoping that something Will turn
up. He's an intelligent man and he knows
perfectly well that there isn't one chance
in seven hundred and eighteen Thousand
million billion that he'll ever get a dollar
that he doesn't work for and earn; and
still he's always hoping and thinking that
something might turn up.
And so when he gets to the office in
the morning he looks in the letter box
there, not really with the expectation of
finding fortune, but nevertheless think
ing that there might be something; not
disappointed if there isn't. but wishing
that he might find there check for a
million dollars from somebody or some
where or notice of some fortune that had
been left to him that he was now to come

It's just the same when he goes home

enough for forty things to happen, for
forty fortunes to come in, and he knows
there hasn't any come, and still it is not

NATIONAL DRINK.

While the Anti-Saloon league is car
rying the liquor war into almost every
county in the country and the prohibit
ton brethren are mixing politics with
their reform movement, let us turn
aside for a moment and hold up our
hands in holy horror at the intern
perate habits of the people of the re-
public TO the south of us.
According to a newspaper published
i'm the capital of the country more
pulque is gulped down in that city
than water. According to the figures
of this local authority, the amount of
national tipple consumed daily is
more than 100000 liters, or more liters
of the juice of the maguey than there
are inhabitants. Every day an average
of 100 carloads of pulque arrive at the
Santiago freight yards. Each car con-
tains at least twenty barrels of the
liquor. and tight skins filed with it are
hung on the outside when the interior
is filed. Figuring $50 liters to the bar
rel, the estimate gives 100000 liters
daily. or 200, Oo,G0o liters yearly.
The total amount of meat of all
kinds consumed is given in official fig
ures to be 1s,622,593 Kilograms yearly,
or one liter of pulque to 100 grams OF
meat, approximately. AS liter of
pulque weighs about one kilogram,
Mexico City drinks nearly ten times as
much pulque as it eats meat.
Pulque is the fermented Juice of the
agave. or maguey plant. and has a
nasty taste when you're not used to it,
After remaining in the skins for awhile
1t is simply awful But it seems they
drink it down there In preference to
water. pretty much as the Frenchman
drinks wine when he can get it. The
real stuff in Mexico. which corresponds
to our forty-rod or KLINE quick, is
mescal. Mcscal is obtained by distil-
