The so-called elevation allowances

arrangements by which services per-

are pretended TO be services for the

elevation allowances serve simply TO

A LESSON IN LOGIC

1t is only within the memory of liV-
ing man that legislation has under
taken to protect domestic animals from
the cruelty of their owners. owner
ship was held to be absolute by most,
but there was one man in England a
hundred years ago who could demon
strate the untenable nature of this
theory. This man was Thomas Frs
kline, one of the greatest lawyers and
advocates of his age. A tradition sur
wives at Hampstead, the residence of
Lord Erskine, which Charles G. EIar-
per has put into his book, PLURAL
Nooks Round London" and which
shows how this legal authority would
have administered mora recent laws.
1t is related that the celebrated Lord
Erskine. walking one day on Hamp-
stead heath, saw a ruffianly driver
shamefully thrashing a miserably i'll
cared for horse.
My lord demonstrated with the driver
on the cruelty of it, whereupon the
fellow retorted ITS my own; mayn't
1 use it as I please?" and started
whacking the wretched animal worse
than ever.
Erskine, greatly annoyed, laid his
walking stick over the shoulders of the
offender, who, crouching and grumb-
ling, asked my lord-this is the draw

In busy commercial world the men
who do big things for themselves and
yet will find time to do something of
public nature for the community in
which they live are certainly to be
called desirable citizens"
Glendale isn't a large city, but there
is just as much vim exercised by its
board OF trade, purely voluntary
body, as is to be found among sim
liar associations in the largest cities;
and it's executive officers are actively
engaged in affairs of their own. Yet
let something occur that will rebound
to the benefit of Glendale, then all
work as one-and it is this spirit that
has caused the growth of the town
so rapidly in the past few years. The
board of trade is ever watchful of
every proposed city ordinance, every
expenditure of public money-and
holds out the glad hand to every
stranger who comes into the com
munity. The town has not yet ad
vanced to where it can have an eX
hibition hall, for one for products is
not needed, as Glendale is essentially
a city of homes; and a hall for enter
tanning the stranger just now would
be a luxury.

DOES THE ARCTIC RUIN NERVES?

In view of the Hudson celebration, no
less than of the North Pole contro-
Versy there is peculiar significance in
the following paragraph;
Nerves go to pieces in the Arctic AS
the icy night drags on a WEAKNESS of
heart, a blank feeling gets the better
of the whole man. The Greedy eXpedi-
tion in many ways parallels the Hud-
son expedition. There was dissension
in Greely's command almost from the
start AS the situation of the eX-
plorers became desperate, the bicker-
ing increased with their peril AS the
weary days of starvation proceeded
sense of grievance was developed. A
general mutiny was imminent, and in
his record Greedy says, If I could have
gotten Longs gun I would have killed
him. Out of like conditions came like
results aboard Hudson's ship during
the Arctic winter-discontent, insub
ordination, hatred and tragedies."-

Charm Failed to Work

EMPORIA, Kan, Sept. 24.-Harry
Lowry, who prides himself on being
an amateur snake charmer, ran across
a rattler while at work in a field near
here and proceeded to work his charms
on it.
The rattler behaved beautifully for
a few minutes till Lowry took off his
gloves, when it buried its fangs in the
second finger of his right hand. He
was brought to town and the doctors
worked fifteen hours to counteract the
poison. 1t is thought he will recover.
Lowry has large collection of
snakes at his home, and often carries
them with him.

ern California championship series,
have been duly published and the ban
ners, cups and medals won tell of de-
served laurels.
The Fourth and Sixth street gram
mar schools of Glendale have an en-
rollment of 965 pupils and eleven
teachers are employed. The new
Fourth street building had been occu-
pied but four years when the enroll
ment increased SO rapidly that it was
found necessary to provide another
building on Sixth street, which was
ready for occupancy in January. Con-
elusive of the need of this new building
are the enrolment figures, that of the
Fourth street school being 1856 and
that of the new Sixth street being al
ready 17S. Mrs. Mary ogden Ryan,
principal.
Mrs Mary H. Anderson, teacher of
art and music in both schools is
graduate of the Chicago Art school and
Chicago Conservatory of Music and is
highly esteemed both personally and
professionally by the entire community.
The Fourth street school is unique
in the county, being in mission style
of architecture, having eight rooms,
each with outside exit, built around
cement court with palm in center. The
building is well equipped, lighted and
ventilated. In the basement are play
ana lullCn TOOllS LOT STORMY weather,
and bicycle rooms. The pupils are in
terested in a variety of athletics and
have two basketball courts. The school
orchestra is cOmmendable and praise
worthy feature.
The Sixth street school is essentially
modern IN plan, furnishings and equip
ment. A superior ventilating system,
devised by Mr.. Shattuck the architect,
and Dr. Blackburn, president of the
school board, is in satisfactory opera
ton. The boys have become efficient
in the use of the fire appliances and
in the fire drills the building can be
emptied of pupils in one-half minute.
The church school, conducted under
the auspices of the Seventh Day Ad
ventist, has an enrolment of twen-
ty-seVen pupils who are here pre-
pared to enter the various acad-
emies under the supervision of this
denomination. Aside from the regular
school work pupils are given thor
ough course in Bible study and history
of the Bible. Theory of cookery and
chemistry of food and cookery are
taught both sexes. The individual gar
dens planted and tended by each pupil
are an interesting and cOmmendable
feature, the proceeds of the products
being given to the missionary fund.
A splendid spirit of cooperation is
being fostered between parents and
teachers by the parent-teachers' as
