BUT ONE MAN IN A THOUSAND
Few There Are Who Can stand Up
right, According 70 Writer Of
Popular Play.

"Here is curious paradox" said
George. eff thousand soldiers are
drawn up in battle array on a
plane"-they understood him to
mean "plain"-"only one man will
stand upright"
Nobody could see why. But George
explained that, according to Euclid,
a plane can touch sphere only at
one point, and that person only who
stands at that point, with respect to
the center of the earth, will stand
upright.
"ln the same way" he remarked,
eff a billiard table were quite level
that is, perfect plane-the balls
ought to roll to the center"
Though he tried to explain this
by placing a visiting card on an
orange and expounding the law of
gravitation, Mrs. Allgood declined
to accept the statement. She could
not see that the top of true billiard
table must, theoretically, be spheri-
cal, just like portion of the orange
peel that George cut out. Of course,
the table is so small in proportion to
the surface of the earth that the
curvature is not appreciable, but it
is nevertheless true in theory. A sur
face that we call level is not the
same as our idea of a true geometri-
cal plane.-From the play, ga Para

LIKE CHAPTER OF ROMANCE
Remarkable Career Of Lady Cook and
Her Sister, Who Have Rsturred
to Our Shores.

Lady Cook, who was formerly
Tennie G. Clafn, has returned here
to the scene Of her former exploits,
declaring that her fortune Of
81 100000 shall hereafter be de-
voted to the woman's suffrage move
ment. She expresses her intention
of going to Washington to talk the
subject over with President Taft
and with congress. Her career has
been remarkable one. Born in a
little town in Ohio nearly seventy
years ago, she and her sister Vic
toria-afterward Victoria Wood
hull-became spiritualistic mediums
early in life and earned, it was said,
as much as 100000 a year. In
1896 they appeared on Wall street
as partners in brokerage business,
with a check from Commodore Van
derbilt as their capital. They start
ed a weekly paper later and dis
cussed sex problems in it and on the
platform with such freedom that
they were both imprisoned for a
while in Ludlow street Jail. They
were emphatically repudiated by the
regular women suffrage association.
In 1872 they published a sweeping
denunciation of Henry Ward Beech
er, starting the whole sensational
Beecher-Tilton scandal. Four years
later they went to England and were
soon after well married, Victoria to
wealthy banker, Tennie Cher

Sir Francis Cook. Her reappear-
ance here in public life after 80
years-"a small, sprightly figure al

SLAMS KING AND HIS TEMPLES.

Once year all the Buddhist tenn
Piles in Siam are visited by the king,
or his deputies, bearing the Phra
Kathin (yellow robes), in conform
ity with an ancient custom by which
the priests were made to seek their
apparel for the ensuing year. During
the lifetime of Buddha, monks and
priests were sent out to beg for old,
cast-off garments, which were after
ward dyed yellow and patched to-
gether to form the required robes
This ancient mendicant custom
gradually gave place to the present
one of making the garments from
new cloth of a bright canary yellow,
provided by joint contributions Of
king, princes, mobiles and common
ers. When the king goes in the
royal throne barge to present the
robes in person he does SO with great
pomp and ceremony. The priestly
garments, folded in bundles, are car
ried to the door of the temple to
await the appearance of his majesty
and his suite. The king, on arriving,
takes a priestly robe and places it
on a decorated altar.-Wide World

HIS LAST JOKE.

The fol lowing incident occurred
at Liverpool bar the other night,
says London exchange:
There were three men standing at
the bar, when a peddler entered and
called for a drink. The manager
was just leaving the premises at the
time, but, spotting the peddler, he
whispered to the other customers
that he would play trick on him
by giving him bad two-shilling
piece.
Going up to his victim, he pur-
chased knife.
"Oh, never mind the change, Pm
in hurry" he said, as he rushed
out of the bar.
The peddler scrutinized the coin,
and, with merry twinkle in his
eye, ordered drinks all round. The
managers wife supplied the refresh
ments' called for, and, taking the
bad two-shilling piece, handed over
the change. The peddler then de-
parted.
Two minutes afterward back came
the manager to see how his little
trick had worked.
lie never played any more tricks
after that one.

REEK1Na OF PoLYaAMoUs FILTH

We have before US a copy Of the an
nouncement made by officers of the
Juarez Stake Academy, Mormon edu-
cational institution in Mexico, for the
| school year 1867.
Upon looking over the names of the
directors we find that nine out of
twelve of them are new polygamists,
while the faculty is almost wholly
made up of new polygamists and the
sons and daughters and other relatives
of such. In view of this fact, it was
natural that they should put out the
following in the booklet, under the
heading HISTORICAL;
The motive which prompted them
Mormon Mexican coonists] to leave
their comfortable homes In the North.
ship. was most worthy one. Their
desires TO enjoy in peace the relations
OF home and family where their children
might grow up In honor and virtue,
seemed paramount to them. AS
would naturally be expected, their first
thought was to keep out everything that
would contaminate, and to foster and
encourage every element OF moral growth.
Aside from the fact that this is
practically reproduction Of the old
wall of Mormon lawbreakers that they
were being prosecuted, and were
obliged to flee from their prosecutors
to secure peace, it is otherwise and
additionally the rankcst bit of vicious
hypocrisy ever uttered by man. Pre-.
tending to "fosJer and encourage every
element Of moral growth they have
practiced in most barbaric determine
tion their immoral polygamy. Their
colony is a veritable nest reeking of po,
lygamous filth. Perhaps there is not
one bishop among the whole outfit who
is not breaker of the law of God and
a defier of the law of man since the
church which he represents solemnly
announced 10 the world that the prac~
tice should cease. The academy re-
ferred to has furnished nearly all the
young men and young women down
there who have engaged in new po-
lygamy, The president of the faculty,
the notoriously unclean Guy c. Wilson,
is the man who forced Miss Anna
Ivins, daughter of Apostle Anthony w.
WINS, into his polygamous harem, even
going so far, 1T is asserted, as To com.
pei performance of the unlawful cere-
mony at the hands of the apostle. This
institution is under the direction and
control of the Mormon church board
of education. with headquarters at
Salt Lake. The church is responsible
for it. and for the new polygamous
rascals who have graduated out of it
into the army of concubining curses
who infest that region.
Is there any wonder that there are
more young men and young women In
polygamy in the Mormon church today
than there ever were at any other one

TOURIST EXPENDITURES.

The amount of money spent by Amer
lean tourists in Europe has been esti
mated all the way from $l0o,000,'
600 TO $200,000,000 year. This year
| 1t is pretty sure to reach the higher
sum, even if it does not go away be
yond it. 4 dispatch printed yesterday
morning is illuminating on one form OF
that expenditure, the money spent in
purchases, which arc said to be larger
than ever before, ms the following
comparative statement of expenditures
shows:
In the fiscal year 1909 only s3So0 ,000
worth OF art works were imported. but In
the fiscal year just closed. art works 10
the value Of $2l 100000 were brought IN
In diamonds the increase was from $2d,
100, 900 TO s39,S00, 900 In undressed fur
skins, from sl1. roc, 900 to s15,2Oo,o0o. In
dressed furs and manufactures thereon,
from $9,4o0.o00 TO $11,0oo.ooO.
There is a total of $S7 100000 on
these four items of luxury alone, the
most Of it undoubtedly personally pur.
chased and brought over without pass
ing through the hands Of dealers or
middlemen. And the statement says
nothing of the dresses. the apparel, the
adornments, the lingerie bought in the
same way and brought here in num-
berless trunks, the examination of
which by the customs officers raises
such an uproar every year, and yet in
spite of which rigid examination so
much smuggling is yet done.
No wonder we have such cutting
down of our favorable balance of
trade; no wonder the various govern
ments of Europe are passing laws and
putting into effect regulations forbid
ding the taking out of the country va
rious rare objects of art, for fear tho
there is an ever present fear in all art
and collection fields in Europe that
Americans will buy the best they have
in all directions, and bring it all to
this country. 1t is justifiable fear,
too; for we bavo already acquired an
amazing lot of the best and rarest OBJ
Jects of art and articles of won
derful worth and beauty, from gems to
rare books, paintings and sculptures,
And there is little to criticize in all
this, so long as the genuine thing is
bought; this country will be all the
better for the possession of these things
But there is no excuse either in taste
or economics, for the lavish personal
expenditures Of American tourists in
Europe, where they pay double or
treble for their expenses, for the many
things that they buy, and for their per
sonal services, All that is crying
evil, as censurable in good economics as

IN NO DANGER.

The Smoot paper is trying to raise
clattcr that the tariff on lead and
on wool is in danger through the OBJ.
jections to the bunko tariff bill passed
last year. 1t is wild notion alto
gether; for there is not the least foun.
dation for such fenr
In the old Territorial DAYS. when
we had but Delegate in Congress
and he caring nothing in particular
about lead, and in fact good share of
the time being opposed to lead mining
there was no difficulty in retaining a
just tariff on lead. And much less
should there be difficulty now, when
we have two Senators and Represen
tative- 1t is true that Senator Bris-
tow of Kansas has attacked the lead
tariff. But Kansas always did OBJ
iect 10 the lead tariff. That obiec.
tion, however, never was effective, and
is never likely to be.
AS to the wool tariff we presume
that it will be rather hard to scare
the wool-Growers on the proposition
that they are to lose protection. The
present bunko tariff law has turned
them over so completely to the ravages
Of the woolen manufacturers trust
that nothing in sight is In the least
likely to be any worse for them than
what they have. They went in with
the woolen manufacturers in good
faith, TO retain the old wool schedules
and won; the old wool schedules were
retained in the present law. At once
the wool manufacturers saw that this
gave them complete control of the mar
ket, They fortified themselves by
buying upwards of s20,o00.o00 worth OF
foreign wool, most OF it clothing woe.

which they evolved was this: If an
elder in Israel desired to take a new
polygamous wife, and Mt the same timo
evade certain technicalities which might
involve the church officially, ii was not
necessary for him TO appear at the
temple with the woman. After making
proper request there, subsequent TO

woman would 90 to the Salt Lake Nor
mon holy of holies and some one Of the
male workers. there would stand as
proxy for the living brother while the
sealing ceremony was performed There
after the woman would go out to CO.
habitation with the living brother as
his plural wife,
Now, these things should attract tho
serious attention of Apostle Senator
Reed Smoot, but apparently they do not,
he being content to say that ho has no
doubt the saints arc ''ful6llipg the mis-.
sion that God intended them to fulfill. -
1t may be, though. that Smoot does not
feel called upon to concern himself over
these matters, even though he was pro-
claimed by Senator Hopkins MS the
apostle of the higher Mormonism, and
had done more than any thousand men
on the outside Of the church to wipe out
the disgrace Of polygamy. He may
treat it as he did an important situa-
tion once presented to him, by queru-
lously replying to critics, "What the
hell do i care7''
