GRADE THE STREETS

Permanent grades must be established in Globe and as rapidly as possible the streets should be brought down or built up, as the case may be, to these grades.
 There has been an intmation, and in some instances an expressed intention; on the part of the city officials to fix the streets temper ariy This is money thrown away and a loud protest should go up from people who believe in Globe and the city $ future.
 For instance, it was the ''intention" of the city dads, if we mistake not, to roll that portion of Mesquite street at the junction of Hill street down the hill toward Broad to, in measure, reduce the grade. That would have been worse than shiftless.
 Globe is on the eve of great and substantial growth. On the street cited number of very valuable improvements are contemplated Among the more expensive of these improve ments is the proposed new Catholic church. The congregation of this church proposes erecting an edifce to cost between $30,000 and $50,000. It may exceed in value the latter figure At present the lot owned by the Catholic people is the highest on Mesquite street. They are naturally anxious that the grade be established and that the street be brought down to the grade at the earliest possible moment. It is important that the promoters of this enterprise be given the exact grade They do not propose to build for today and tomorrow alone but for many years to come. 1t was pro- posed that seven feet be taken from the street at point immediately opposite the proposed church. The dirt removed from this point was to be taken down the street toward Broad, Where the street is at present two to five feet above what should be the real grade. Now, we will suppose that the Catholic people accepted this seven foot cut as the grade and went ahead and erected the church. In less than five years the city, by reason of other improvements, would be compelled to bring the thoroughfare down to the true grade and then the foundation walls of this costly structure would stand at least five feet above the level of the driveway On the other hand, if the building is dropped down at present to the true grade, which Is at least drop of twelve feet, parachutes would have to be provided the worshippers and during the wet season canoes might be necessary if the attendants were to worship in perfect safety This is just one instance and on one street Costly homes are contemplated in number of sections. They are being held up on account of the grade, or rather the absence of it. sew craze system is thing of the very near future The pipes cannoI pe PioPeiiy i'iu oii'ii $ i0"oo have been established. In fact, permanent city cannot be builded here until grades have been established and streets brought to the grades When this is done the drainage ques- ton will be solved. But more important when this improvement is an accomplished fact hun dreds of thousands of dollars now waiting and wondering, will be expended in substantial buildings. The future of the city largely de- pends on intelligent action and the council will have to get down to real business and turn deaf ear to the obstructionist.

THE CYNIC'S CLUB DISCUSSES LOVE AS A FORM OF HYPNOTISM
By Maude Marie

''Is love form of hypnotism?" inquired the Cheerful Cynic, as the Cynic's club of America settled in it's rufhes and assumed an effectively serious expression. "A young woman has asserted that she was 'hypno- tized into marrying the wrong man. Now the question is, Is this possible?"
 "Well,' drawled the sarcastic member, thoughtfully, "when you observe what most people marry you d almost fancy it was GUS tomary."
 "Have any of you girls seen 'Pauline?' :" inquired the blonde kitten suddenly.
 The Cynics' club started guiltily and blushed in chorus.
 "He only has to gaze into your eyes and hold the tips of your fingers, continued the blonde kitten, 'and-and you keel right over And when you have done all sorts of foolish things he wakes you up with slap in the face and you come to yourself with shock and haven't the least idea of where you are or what you have been doing" ''I don't see anything unusual in that commented the sarcastic member with shrug. ''Dont most men do it that wayf"
 'Whata'' cried the club.
 Commence by gazing into your eyes" ex plained the sarcastic member, "and holding the tips of your fngers-and finish by walk ing you up from love's young dream-with a slap in the face"
 "And don't you always come to yourself with a shockg" added the Cheerful Cynic. ''And do you ever know where you are or what you have been doing-when you re- cover from the love trancea'
 "Yes,'' sighed the sentimental member. "It's easy enough to see how hypnotist can hypnotize twenty people on the stage and whole audience full of girls at once, but how about some of the awful little chaps girls marry or fall in love with with their eyes wide open and hypnotic stare of adorationf What is it about little, tubby sample of hu- manity, with no figure or nose to speak of, and nothing to recommend him but his sex that enables him to hypnotize every women he meets into hopeless state of mental sub lection and sentimental imbeciity9 If all men were Adonises it would be easy to under stand their power over us. But after all, the average man is just an ordinary creature with stubbly chin and knuckly hands and derby hat and hideous clothes.''
 "Oh, well," put in the Cheerful Cynic hastily, 'you can't tell a love hypnotist by the shape of his nose or the breadth of his shoulders. His figure simply doesn't figure

Grand Duke to Earn Salary

From the Baltimore American.
 The influence of popular opinion, as voiced by the Duma is already seen in Russia, where the Grand Duke Mich. ael has insisted on doing active service in the Russian army, of which he is an officer, although this service takes him from the gayeties of the capital and is real work instead of nominal duty. He will be the first grand duke to earn his salary, but there will be others.
