The courts of Missouri have taoitly
recognized the right, or at leaet. the
inherent impulse of choleric gentle
men to swear over the telephone.
Social ethics, good taste and pr opriety
deory the use of violent words either
on or off the wire. But the law is
the law, and in Missouri it ia statu-
tory privilege to curse into the trans
mitter in moderate degree. :"
Unfortunately the human animal is
not naturally tranquil creature.
Time, Sunday schools and the society
of womankind have taught the aver
age man to play at being civilized by
keeping the muffler on his conversa-
tion--to keep hack his thoughts when
they are not pretty or polite. And
the conversation of the average man
has been so persistently expurgated
that it ia flt for reproduction fiftyiive
minutes out of the hour. Every gen.
Grafton helps to purge the language.
There is less swearing today than a
century ago. And il it were not for
the telephone, oursing, as a resort Of
passion, would be almost obsolete.

The calm surface of historical soci-
eties, patriotic orders and genealogical
fellowships has teen agitated of late
by story TO which the New York Sun
gave circulation. In fact there has
been something approaching a panic
in the ranks of those to whom the
conservation of the early traditions
and historic interests Of America
seems especially important. The dis
turbing rumor was to the effect that
Plymouth rock is being submitted to
horrible indignities. Half of it, a

EDUCATION AT MODERATE COST

GooSA AON n MSOENA = SSo .
The Y. W. G. A. of the Lewiston
State Normal School has just issued a
circular explaining how it is possible
for young men and women who are
without financial means to attend
the Normal School at little or no
expense to themselves. Naturally. the
expenses Of each individual student
vary more or less, but ordinarily. the
expenses for nine months, including
board and room. laundry, books and
stationery, gymnasium suits and
students fees. shousnn M. .,xcead $19b.
Residents of Idaho are not required to
pay tuition.
To meet the needs of those Young
people who are thoroughly in earnest
and ambitious, and yet who are with
out the necessary funds, the Y. W.
G. A. of the Lewiston Normal has
organized students self help COM
mittee., 1t is the purpose of this COM
mittee to assist deserving students to
secure work. During the past year,
and for several years, in fact, many
young men and women have succeeded
in working their way through school
at Lewiston. 1t may be added that
the demand for Normal students is
always in excess of the supply.
Beginning with September 1. 1909,
there will be also available for deser-
wing students three loan funds: the
Columbian Tsceminican and the
Normal School, The Columbian club
at Boise offers to students of Idaho
who present sufficient credentials as
to character and evidence of need,
loan of 500. This sum must be
paid in installments of at least $5 a
month after the recipient has secured
regular employment. The Tsoeminiean
Fund has recently been established by
the Tsceminican Club of Lewiston.
The Normal School Loan Fund is
larger than either of the other two,
and in the fall Of 1909 will probably
total 1900. Deserving students may
draw upon this fund. paying a low
interest. with the understanding that
the principal be repaid upon the re-
oipient's receiving employment.
Undoubtedly, there will be great
number of young men and women who
will thus be enabled to obtain an
education at the Lewiston Normal who
otherwise would be deprived of the
opportunity.

streets crowded as | had lever seen
them before. The great case, which
would be reached within a day or two,
many persons coming even from Lon
don. These were chiefly gentlemen
of the nobility and gentry who were
friends of Giles Vcrnon's, for never
man had so many friends.
II was a cold, bright February night;
and the street in front of the assizc
hall where the ball was held was
packed with chariots, chaises, and
people on foot, fiaring torches and
bawling footmcn, as If it were a Lon
don rout. AS our carriage passed the
entrance, the way was blocked by the
judges chariots, from which they de-
scended in state. Our cOachman, whip
ping up to get the next place in line,
locked wheels with the coach of Sir
Thomas Vernon. He sat back, his
face visible by the lamps in the court
yard. and as u~nconcerned as IL the
case which had brought us all to York
was one of his servants beating the
watch, instead of the trial of his rela.
tive and heir on a capital charge.
The crowd showed its disapproval Of
Sir Thomas by hurting abusive
epithets at him, which only caused him
to smile. But he had another enemy
to encounter, which was Lady Hawk
shaw, and in full sight and hearing
of the judges, as they stepped with
stately tread up the stairs, occurred a
battle a mort between her and Sir
Thomas Vernon, to the intense en-
joy.nent of the crowd, which was up
roariously on Lady Hawkshaw's side.
Neither Sir Peter nor | took any part
in the fray, seeing Lady Hawksha "
had the best of it from the start, and
! that, against man. the populace
was heartily with her.

Thomas. We are called here upon a
sad occasion, but | hope that English
justice will prevail to save the life of

grin, replied:

HOW THE PYRAMIDS WERE BUILT
Theory That Explains Expenditure Of
Time and Labor.


No one has been able 10 decide how
the enormous stones in the pyramids
were handled: for, even allowing for
the vast army OF men. some sort OF
mechanical contrivance must have
been used.
One theory is that as each course
of stone was laid a sand embankment
was built around II with long. easy
slopes SO that the stones for the next
course could be pushed on rollers
and slid into place. without any actual
lifting, and so on. the pyramid being
in fact buried as fast as 1t was built.
until the top was reached. when the
stupendous job OF removing the sand
embankment was commenced.
This might account for the vast
army OF labOrers used; for instance,
it is said that In building the great
pyramid OF Cheops 100 900 men were
employed for 30 years. although the
quarry from which the stone was OBJ
| tanned was nearly 5000 feet from the
| pyramid.-Engineering Magazine.
