we'll worth while. The building is
of steel, iron and concrete, covering
the larger portion of city square.
Inside are arranged the stalls; the
fish and oyster stalls being all in
one section, the meats in another,
milk, eggs and cheese in sections
by themselves. In one section are
long tables heaped with great piles
of corn tortillas, near at hand is a
naenudo stand where that toothsome
dish, boiling hot, is ladled out to
customers in quantities to suit.
Many come with pots or pitchers
that are filled and taken home to
be served for breakfast. Many seat
themselves at table and are served
a plate of which they dispose ION
the premises" If desired a cup Of
hot coffee can be brought from a
neighboring stand, the two making
a delicious breakfast, and at cost
of only one and one-half reales
which are eighteen or nineteen
centGUOs - nine cents American
money. 1t is about A o'clock in
the morning when the doors of the
market are thrown open, and by
tiveitis crowded with a busy throng,
all intent upon purchasing the

general cheapness of prices is also
a matter for comment. The array
and variety of fruits and vegetables

kinds is all the year-is productive
of a wonderment that the hotels do
not send someone to the market to
supply their tables.
Itinerants serve many in small
quantities, and they travel from
house to house, Offering their
wares, crying their kind and quail
lily as they pass along the streets,
the voice of one succeeding the
fading accents of another as he
passes into the distance. One car
ried upon his head a tray laden
with pork, roasted, cut into various
sizes to suit the varying needs OF
such as chad the price," and his
clear, baritone voice announced in
limpid accents that he vended
'paerco cocido" Cooked pork.
From another street there come the
childish treble of a boy bearing
upon his head a basket filled with
oysters, announcing" ostione8, while
third in a deep bass voice sang

consisted of a dozen small sacks OF
charcoal, each holding about as
much as one would get into an or

long pole slung across his shoulder.
The three were but specimens of
long and varying procession OF
people parading the streets and
crying their wares.

The College Graduate

In our opinion the college graduate-we
refer TO the boy and not the girls not
the self-satished and altogether cocky
young fellow he is too frequently pictured
by writer's in general and jokesmiths in
particular
The college graduate is young and con-
sequently rather inexperienced-due TO cir
cImstances over which he has no control
whatsoever. He may be fresh indeed,
and, Unquestionably, he has much to
learn. Life is full Of hope for him. II he
has not frittered away his undergraduate
days in riotous living and idIeness. and
thereby all too early set the functions Of
his liver awry. The particularly big rocks
ahead may not be noticeable to his bright
and glistening eye; that is. they may not
appear especially formidable. anyway.
Even his Latin diploma may seem TO him
an asset Of far greater potency than #
really is.
Be all these things as true as gospel.
they argue nothing to his discredit. nor
through them should he righteously be
held up 10 ridicule. II he IS a healthy.
normal youngster. he knows. though It
may be somewhat vaguely. that there is
a serious problem ahead for him: that he
must really make his own way II that
way ever leads anywhere worth while or
carries him to the great city Of Success,
or even TO the suburbs thereof. To ex-
press the same thought differently, albeit
not so elegantly, the average graduate
knows it is up TO him to hustle If he
wishes 70 make good in this world!
In the early days Of the Revolutionary
war King George III is said to have con-
sidered the American rebellion" pretty
much Of a toke. The country was so
young; It's statesmanship-if it had any
was so immature; it could not govern it
self II # had the opportunity; it was pre-
sumptuous. imperfinent. even fresh. and
excessively jUYenile-just as the college
graduate is so often held to be. But with
all these handicaps. the sturdy young
nation-to-be-the future proudest and most
glorious republic on earth-got exceed
ingly busy with old King Georges SOL
diers and ministers and representatives.
and It was not so very long until
Lord CORVALLIS surrendered, and the
United States Of America took its first
long stride toward its destined place in
the galaxy Of the great. And then some
very wise men came along and consid-
cred the case OF King George III And
this was their verdict: Why. the old fell
low is crazyF' And that verdict has never
been reversed TO this day!
Do not laugh at the college graduate.

Apology Due from Dr.. Butler.

certainly cannot justify the editorial at
tack made upon the washington public
schools IN his Educational Review. Miss
Edith Wescott, principal OF the Western
High School, has characterized that at
tack none too strongly. and we shall be
surprised II DR.. Butler does not set him
self and his journal right in the forth
coming issue by making the fullest apol-
ogy.
Such innuendoes and slurring illusions
as the Review dealt in. as Miss wescott
truly says. were wholly out Of keeping
with the character OF the publication #
self "a publication supposedly standing
FOR high ideals and whose clientele en-
braces the best OF the reading and think
ing public. It was an Indulgence in the
most despicabIe form Of newspaper writ
ing. II an educational journal may give
itself over 70 that kind OF warfare, then
there is assuredly some paIliation for the
doings OF the irresponsible yellow daIlies
which educators have 50 persistently and
righteously frowned upon.
The community's thanks are due Miss
wescott for so courageously taking in
hand this glaring offense against justice
and fair dealing and disposing OF II so

Foes Minute but Formidable.

II IS the little wastes that count. IN
the aggregate, more than the occasional
large exravagances. It is the vermin of
the earth that destroy more wealth and
that wage more effective warfare upon
the well-being Of mankind than do all the
raging lions and stealthy tigers OF the
wilderness. The prodUctiveness Of civili-
zation pays It's heaviest tolls almost with
in its own threshold. Where the cobra
strangles its hundreds OF lives, the de-
spised rat. destroys its millions in values
created by human effort. The pest, &C
cording 10 the estimate Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. caused a loss in the
United states last year. in grain alone
Of $lo0O00.000, while the total damage It
wrought may reach thrice that sum, or
nearly a million dollars a day-exceedina
the total fire loss. It is true that the rat
is to some extent a fertilizer and a dis
integrator Of soil; but modern appliances
have rendered that natural service to the
farmer far more costly than machinery.
Mankind continues the old struggle for
existence, even II civilization has pro-
gressed beyond the ancient Jattle with
the beasts OF field and forest. The war is
not the less real because It is with the
minute; the foe may be contemplate. but
It cannot be ignored. The ravages OF
the rat are only an example Myriads
Of smaller foes. in all the gap between
the grub and the insect, prey upon the
substance produced by human toll and
make war upon health and life. In its
fight against these wastes, as well as
against the microbes OF disease. civfliza-
ton wages the war that knows no truce,
but II must maintain the upper hand
for its own maintenance and progress.
In this struggle. the observations OF the
naturalist make a contribution to the
conservation Of life and property that
is as far beyond estimate as It is re-
moved from popular appreciation. They
reveal foes that are not to be despised
because their attacks are insidious.

Rev. DR.. Fishburn's Death.

A man OF the people. as well as 4 man
OF God. was Rev. NJ. Ross Fishburn. d. D.
the beloved pastor ot the Mount Pleas
ant Congregational Church. His pass
ing is peculiarly sad. He was young
barely at the middle age-and his field
OF usefulness was expanding day by day
Fitted in the highest degree for the min
istry, by nature no less than by educa-
lion. his fine personal character i'm
pressed itself upon the whole community
He was manly and magnetic, sincere and
earnest, in touch with humanity and
full OF love for his feIlow-men. He
worked steadfastly TO make the world
better, and It is the better for his hay
ing been here. He was generous. help
ful. hopeful. and optimistic. His life
was an inspiration.
In practical Christian work IL is sell
dom that so much Is accomplished by
one OF his years. The splendid con-
gregation which mourns him to-day Is
a living monument 10 him. But. out
side that large and devoted flock whose
hearts are touched TO the quick, friends
without number in Washington who had
come TO know and to love him share

wood for such uses retreats farther from

practical utility of plan that was taken

concluslvely that its continuance and ex-
tension are certain. The company has
even established a nursery 10 grow seed
