the story goes, the multitude departed

Col. Harvey would emulate the wis
dom of the willy Don. Having intimat-
ed and insinuat9d-in the most covert
and sardonic way having had fun With
the ladies-he seeks to piacata them.
Here is a fair sample:
We are convinced that the time has
arrived when the welfare Of the ma
ton would be most e~ffectually con-
served by comforting upon women the
privilege of voting and holding politi-
cal office.
The claim of leaders OF the cause
that the franchise should be granted
because of q presumed inherent rtght
we cannot admit. Whether or not
in strict conformity with purely ethical
considerations, it is nevertheless q tact
of surprising moment that. NEE the
world began. the possession of power
has depended upon ability to acGulr
and hold it. Practically, there has
been no change in this e2aid GER
tainlv since the German balOns took
possession Of the valley of the hhlnc;
and, theoretically, custom OF long
prevalence often cOnfers authority
euual to tina of written law. Man nm
self is not permitted in this country
to vote except in compliance with ar
bitrarv regulations. which universaily
sfranchis him until he reaches the
age of twentN-one. and frequently our
ing his entire lifetime.
Advocates of the change only
weaker their ease by resting; it upon
the untenable proposition that the &C
tion of the founders of the republic
in restricting suffrage to their own sex
was immoral. Nor do they strengthen
if nv insisting hat the policy was UNI
wise. Ethically they may IN their ar
onments adduce q semblanCe OF Justl-

when Miss Dressler flounced out
upon the stage to do her turn, she
was nonplussed at the exceptional
wave of laughter that convulsed the
audience. She had expected that her
three hundred pound self in a baby
frock would induce considerable audi
BILE smiling, but the prolonged hearth
mess of her reception frankly puzzled
her. She glanced down to see wheth-
er anything was wrong with her cos
tune, but nothing was. She ran her
eyes over the audience, but there was
nothing unusual to be seen there.
Then her glance fell on the placard at
the left of the stage announcing her
act and she realized at once the rea-
son for all the laughter. The boy
had made a mistake in the sequence
of the acts and had heralded the
weighty Miss Dressler as "Tessle, the
worlds greatest trick elephant" =

that Disregard Of duty is not con-

that there are men who cheapen
their diplomas by getting them for

The speaker also found most un-

CURGOSITIBS OF THE SAVAGE
MIND .rE.i


Miss +. Klickmann. Assistant Lit
erary Superintendent OF the British
and Foreign Bible Society In London,
is necessarily In close touch with
missionary work all over the world,
especially in connection with the
dissemination of the Scriptures, and
has many opportunities of observing
the strange mental attitude of ma
tives.
Some of the cnirdosities of the
savage mindS' she wrltdS ''are
shown very strilingly in connection
with the distribution of the Bible.
In many parts of the world the ma
tives are considerably affected by the
appearance of anything that Is given
or sold to them. Certain vivid col
ors appear TO possess for them pc
culiar fascination. I believe that
traders who seek TO do business
among natives frequently wrap the
goods they have to sell in paper OF
particular color most appreciated
by the natives OF the district.
"This love OF vivid coiors is par.
lticularly strong In India, and the
Gospels which we send out for sale
in the bazaars are protected by
bindings of brightly colored paper.
Each Gospel has its particular color
and these are selected according tc
the length of the Gospel. The native
of India likes TO get as much as
possible for his money. He will buy
a bulky Gospel merely for its bulk
Independently of what color it IL

WHAT HAVE THEY LEARNED?

In this June month some hundreds
OF thousands of boys and girls are
being graduated from the high
schools throughout the land, at the
close of an average period of twelve
years. They have received, pre-
sumably, about all that organized
society has to give them in the way
of preparatory training for life.
Their capital OF knowledge is just
what they have acquired at the ex-
pense Of the state.
They are young ambitious,
anxious and properly serf-conceited.
They are eager to prove to their
sires the superior strength of the
sons and daughters.
But what do they know, after all =?
Is it their fault If they have not
been taught quietude OF demeanor and
due regard and respe,t for their eld-
ers? Is 1t of no importance that
they have not learned the element
airy lessons which inculcate good
manners?
In so far as the public schools
teach geography and grammar, his.
tory and arithmetic, they do fairly

system approved 10y Gradgrind, Il

Owing TO the extreme sdiversity in

WAYS OF THE TURKISH Po11cE

WAYS OF THE TURKISH POLICE.
Here Is an instance Of the meth
DDS of the Turkish police.
About twenty years ago Constanti-
nople was literally flooded with
counterfeit money-gold Turkish
liras and half liras. The circula-
tion of this base money became so
alarming and the efforts of the po-
lice TO find the perpetrators were so
futile that even the Sultans Cam
arilla" had TO take notice Of the
mhtter and inform His Majesty
thereon. The consequence was that
the Chief of Police was summoned
| to Yildiz Kiosk and informed, on
behalf of the Sultan, that he had
got to find the malefactoIs in a
fortnight otherwise there would be
trouble. Needless TO say. the Chiet
of Police promptly made UP his
mind to find and arrest somebody
1.-The codners themselves If possible
but, at any rate. somebody. What
he did to attain his object Is as
| follows.
There lived in the outskirts OF Pera

mides, who was the possessor OF a
nice lhtttle villa with small gar

thinking the way clear, noiselessly
crept into this gemtleman's garden
which was only protected by low
wall, and dropped into a we'll a sack
containing coiners' tools and q
quantity of false money. Then they
quietly retreated.
FAny next morning small de-
taehmenb of police surrounded M.
Adamides' house, and the officer in
command demanded to see him.
The poor man, greatly alarmed al
this intrusion, requested an explain.

that he must consider himself and
all his family under arrest, as he
was suspected OF coming false money
and that they had orders to make a

innocence, invited the officer and
some of his subordinates to pro-
coed. After some time. needless tc
say, the articles dropped in the well
by the police were fished out of the
water, and the poor merchant was
| promptly handcuffed and marched
off to prison, But 1t was decreed
that the police were not to have

nately for M. Adamides, that a serv.

RACE.
Julian Street, the author, is an en-
thusiastic motorist and his own rae
ing ca: was used by George Rob-
ertson as practice car for the
Vanderbilt Cup which he afterwards
won. MIR. Street contributes an in
teresting article to the July Ameri-
can Magazine, in which he describes
his experiences during the week he
spent in Robertson's training camp
on the course prior to the race. In
speaking OF the strain that Is placed
on car during such a race, MIR.
Street says: n
Few people realize the strain
that is placed upon a racing car.
There are many machines which
could be driven across the continent
and ba X successfully, yet could not
possibly endure the racking that a
road race of several hundred miles
would give. III weaknesses exist

the furious and sustained pace. One
of the mattresses of early Ameri-
can cars was in the steel of which
they were constructed. In 1905 the
best alloy automobile steels could
not be bought in the United States
but were imported fop use in cer-
tain racers. Ordinary steel might
do for ordinary work, but for racing
the highest grade was none too good
In 1906, however, our steel men
awoke and made the alloys 50 nec-
essary in high grade automobile con-
struction. Once obtainabld they
were eagerly taken by the American
automobile manufacturers for use

TIE JAPANESE IN HAWAII

The japanese incident in Hawaii
could easily make some trouble for
the United States. About 1000
Japanese laborers on sugar planta-
lions in the islands struck, and THE
disorder which ensued resulted in
the Indictment of seventeen of their
leaders. Because they used incendi-
airy language the editor OF the Jill,
Japanese paper in Honolulu, was
arrested, his office was raided by
the sheriff, and members of the edi-
forial STATS of other Japanese pub
licaFlions in that town have been
brought before the grand jury. The
matter has been reported to the
foreign office at Toxic, and an inter-
national incident has arisen.
It must be remembered that the
Japanese are the dominant indust-
rial element in Hliwhii. Out OF a
population of 154 900 in 1900, two
thirds were Orientals, and this pro-
portion has greatly increased in the
past nine years. The population in
1909 is estimated at about 175,000
and the ir:reasa since 1900 has
been among the Japanese almost en-
tirely. The native Hawaiians are
decreasing steadily. The white peo-
pie in the islands number less than
$4,000. and these include Americans
English, Germans and others. The
Portuguese inhabitants, who num-
ber about 10000 are not classed as
whites by the rest OF the Caucasian
element. They are placed on a low
er level than the Chinese. There are
75,O00 Japanese in the Islands, 65,'
900 of whom are males, and 10000
or is 900 OF whom were soldiers
either in the war of 1S94-95 agains
China or in that of 1904-05 agains
Russia or in both conflicts.
Manifestly a people as clannisf
as the Japanese are, and who form
the dominant element in a mixeC
community, as they do in the island
of the Hawaiian group can make
good deal of trouble for the author
