A Letter That Aroused King Christian
Of Denmark.

A Letter That Aroused King Christian
of Denmark.
King Christian of Denmark once
found In his morning mail letter
which moved him more than did most
matters Of state The letter was In 4
boyish scrawl aud read as follows:
Dear King-We are four boys at Flax
kebjerb school. and the master whips US
daily with piece of steel rope he found
in the harbor II he doesn't stop there
will be fire.
The name OF the teacher being given,
the king ordered him to report Mt once
to the minister OF justice, while he
took the next train for Flakkebjerb
and examined the class In the teacher $
absence. The children, nawed by the
presence of the cruel teacher told their
grievance to the kindly old king. who
promised immediate relief, closed the
school for the day and ordered that the
boys be treated to chocolate and cakes
at his expense ito remember him by"
But he did more than that. On re-
turning to Copenhagen he dismissed
the cruel teacher without pension, al
the same time giving n general warn
ing 10 all teachers to be ehary of cor
poral punishment. III boys cannot be
trained without cruel beatings," this
wise king said. then there must be
something the matter with those who
train them. The coming generation
must not be made ruffians by ruffianly
teachers

The Oyster, Psycholo8ically
By ED. MOTT.

It is the fate of the oyster, peace
full as he is, to perish in many broil.
And how he is deviled!
How he must submit to everyone's
sauce!
How delighted people ever are to
touch him on the raw!
How they love to keep him in hot
water!
What stew he is frequently in.
Poor oyster! His case is, indeed,
uncommonly hard
Quiet always, mild to placidity, yet
he participates in nightly scenes Of
debauch and revel.
He frequents midnight suppers,
companions of wild roisterers of every
degree.
His very name suggests irregularity
of living, late hours, riotous company,
unwholesome haunts, unlimited pota-
lions.
And yet ladies and gentlemen, the
highest and most exclusive, have him
at dinner, not only without scruple,
but with undisguised pleasure. There
would be blank "a the board with
out him.
What creature of fate, indeed. is
the oyster
His earliest close associate a heart
less rake.
Later in life welcome guest of the
high, the mighty, the brave, the fair.
His inevitable end and epitaph:
in the Soup! From Judge.

Why Woman Suffrage Fails.

Why the propaganda for woman
suffrage does not prosper in this
country, even in the limited degree
in which it prospers in England, is
suggested in an exceedingly interest
ing article in Harper's Weekly by
Sydney Brooks, its London correspon-
dent. The greatest obstacle ahead of
the movement, he asserts, is the apa-
thy of the women themselves. Not
only are most of them Indifferent to
it, but considerable number actually
go to the trouble of forming associa-
lions for the single purpose of oppos-
ing it. Nor, after all, is that so very
surprising. AS a sex, women in
America have virtually no legal or So
cial grievances. AS women they en-
joy full share in the benefits of that
free expansion of the individual
which is the mainspuring of American
life. The traditional inequalities and
disabilities of the sex have been abol-
ished, and the career is almost as
freely open to feminine as to mascu-
line talent. The American woman
does not trouble about her rights
because She has few, if any wrongs"

Brown is one of the colors this sea-
son.
Silver and gold trim many of the
new gowns somewhere and somehow.
Plaid taffetas are very smart. The
big blocks are the most employed
There is very little sleeve seen
anywhere, especially in evening
dresses.
The colors most employed are
blues, delicate reds and browns fad
ing into buff.
American women have reached
such perfection in dress that they
will perhaps never adopt the long
skirt for the street again.
Madame or Mademoiselle may be
as loose and bulky as she wills in cor
sage or blouse, but the skirt, to be
fashionable, must be tight.
Heavy linens and mohairs make
ideal dust coats, which are nowadays
simply made and provided with high
collars that may be buttoned closely
about the throat if desired.
The surplice effect has made its
way even into the realm of the tailor
made, and many of the handsome
suits for spring suggest this feature.
A smart suit among the light col
ored ones is of blue and white half
inch striped worsted trimmed with
half-inch check of the same color and
material.
Colored linens take precedence this
year over white, though one can
scarcely imagine wardrobe that
does not contain a few all white
| fsocks.
With the new colors the silver is
very pretty. Dull gold or rust was
the thing for gowns, but people soon
tired of the morbid shade known as
'rsuille" or mildew.

Dragging the Roads.

The following rules for using the
road drag were given out by the
State Highway Commission of Illi-
nois:
Make light drag.
Drive the team at walk.
Ride on the drag, don't walk.
Don't drag dry road.
Drag when the road is muddy.
Drag, If possible, Immediately be-
fore freeze.
Begin at one side of the road. re-
turning on the opposite side.
Always drag little earth toward
the centre of the road until it is
raised ten or twelve inches above the
sides of the roadway.
Do not attempt to move very
much material at one time with a
drag.
If the drag cuts too much shorten
the hitch.
The amount of earth the drag will
carry can be regulated by the driver,
accordingly as he stands near the
cutting end or away from it.
When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell, vehicles
should drive, if possible, to one side
until the road has had chance to
partially dry out. The exercise of
a very little care on the part of the
users of the road will do quite as
much as the drag toward securing
a smoother road. The law provides
a penalty for anyone who wilfully
ruts or cuts up a dragged road.
