Henry Wits Pride.

From the Westminster Gazette.
One is not surprised to learn that Prince
Edward of Wales is one of the most
promising of all the dancing pupils at the
Royal Naval College Osborne, for skill in
dancing seems to run in the royal blood
of England.
King Edward in his younger days was
as graceful and nimbe footed a dancer

of his partners, now stately dowagers.

exception, are all members of his fam

Henry Wits dancing. from the pavon
to 'conrato high" was the envy and de-
spair of his courtiers. but he was prouder
of his performance in the ballet
Queen Elizabeth had no rival In the
stately pavon unless it was her favorite
partner, Sir Christopher Hatton. and
Queen Mary's grace and agility in the bal
let sent more than one poet into rhymed
raptures.
Charles II. however. seems to have been
the king of royal dancers. He never knew
when to stop. for when every one of his
courtiers was dropping from fatigue he
would call for a round of country dances.

Working in the Void.
From the Atlantic.

The college should guard against an un-
due stress on self-expression and an in
sufficient stress on humane assimilation.
This danger Is especially plain in certain
courses in English composition. A father
once said to me of the daily theme
course that 1t had at least set his sons
wits to working. But what If it set them
to working in the void? The most that
can be expected Of youths who are put
to writing with little or no background
Of humane assimilation is clever inn
pressionism. They will be fitted not to
render serious service to literature. but at
most to shine in the more superficial
kinds Of journalism. Ultimately a great
deal Of what goes on in the more elemen-
tary college courses in English may we'll
be relegated to the lower schools-and
the homeland what is done in the adj
vanced courses in composition will prob
ably either be omitted altogether or else
done as It is in France. in connection
with the reading and detailed study OF
great writer's. Assimilation will then keep
pace. as it should. with discussion.

D'Alessandro' the other laborers called
him-and they laughed at him-and even
suspected him Of treachery. and 1t was
Of the evil eye" At noon time he
would sit silently by himself munching
his poor bread and onions, while the
others laughed and chatted and told tales
of the Sicilian hills.
DAlessandro was thinking Of his con-
ditton and that Of all Italian laborers in
America, but his plans did not begin to
shape themselves until he got a job as
bod carrier on one of the public build
ings in Boston. There he met Italians
and who gave him valuable information
about labor conditions and the relations
between employers and employees. The
vast padrone system. with it's wicked
began to be an open book for him, as II
is to every one who. has fallen into its
clutches.
Started the Society.
But where other Italians cursed their
i'll luck D'Alessandro set about single
handed to fight an evil which may well
be likened to a monster with innumer-
able tentacles that drain the life blood
Of tens Of thousands Of Italians yearly.
He called a meeting of the hod car
riers working with him. and in Q little
room near North square. in Boston. he
organized a small society for the protec-
ton of Italians against the padrones.
D'Alessandro was then earning SIPS q
day and was paying out good part Of II
to the man who furnished him with Q job
The society determined that this sort OF
graft" would have to stop.
The little society took a bold stand, and
for time 1t seemed that all its members
were doomed to death. The secret agents

night A knife thrust in the dark or a
brick dropping mysteriously from the. sky
was a common danger. D'Alessandro him.
self was set upon by several thugs and
painfully hurt more than once. but the
two years Of determination were not to be
forgotten. In the face Of almost certain
death the untiring D'Alessandro worked
by day, carrying the hod. and by night.
strengthening the dropping spirits of his
colleagues in a fight in which the greatest
power in their world was arrayed against
a pitiable handful of men, who had no
money and no friends.
Success Came at Last. 4
D'Alessandro succeeded in his efforts
because he was absolutely honest and dis
