The judges in the first event of the
day pulled the bell on the second lap
in the two-thirds-mile handicap. The
limit men sprinted around, and then
sat up, thinking the rae over. There
was no difficulty for the haekmarkers
to win. The protest OF the men was
ignored.
Despite the threatening weather.
there was a good-sized crowd on hand,
the estimated number being 1000.

Back to the Spelling Glass.

0ACA W Vic 0pCAAAuS ~ldSS.
Some of the Wellesley college girls
have been put back to the spelling
class. 1t seems strange that young
women who qualified for entrance to
an institution of higher education are
lacking In the first principles of educa.
ton, those supposed to be taught In
primary schools. They passed in
Greek, but when they came TO do class
work showed that If the examination
had been in spelling and punctuation
they might have failed.
1t is never too late. perhaps, to learn
to spell and punctuate properly, but
the student who fails to master these
points in early life is likely to be lame
in the educational demands of later
life. The protest against drill in gram
mar has resulted in curtailing the
course but spelling and punctuation
are at the very root of education The
old time nobility Of England used
to boast that they couldn't read or
write. Perhaps some of our ''educat.
ed" nobility affect to despise knowl.
edge which is the possession of the
very children of the common people
If so they are FOOLISH and should thank
the college authorities for holding up
their ambition and putting them back
to spelling tasks.

Bull Rides Red Trolley.

A bull, becoming enraged at the
freshly painted red trolley car which
does duty OH the branch between the
Ridge and the Germantown pike, from
Harmonville to Plymouth Meeting, Pa,
charged upon the car, and William
Diamond, in endeavoring to protect
the Schuylkill Valley Traction compa-
nys property, nearly paid the penalty
with his life. The bull leaped upon
the platform, upon which Diamond
was standing, and knocked the conduct
or down. Diamond managed to crawl
into the car, and when the bull, en-
leavoring to follow, became wedge
in the narrow passageway, Diamond
escaped. The driver got the animal
out with difficulty.

Happy Government Clerks.

Happy Government Clerks. -
Several thousand hardworked and
rather poorly paid government clerks
at washington are happy. 1t has been
discovered that it is contrary to the
law of the land for an inferior to give
present to a superior in any Of the
government offices or to contribute to
that detestable passing the hat fund
for the purchase Of Il gift for the man,
higher up. Some Of the clerks pro
posed giving DR.. Wiley, the estimable
government chemist and pure food ex-
pert, a wedding gift. Then it was that
somebody pointed warning finger
to the law, and thereupon coolies Of
clerks, men and women, in that and
other departments figuratively threw
up their hats or their hatpins and
yelled "Hallelujah!"
The abuse Of gift giving by the I'M
derling to the overload, the employee
to the boss, is widespread, not only in
government circles, but in all sorts and
conditions of places of employment.
AS we probably have stated before in
these columns, an employer. a manager
or foreman is by no means calcu-
lated to entertain a higher respect for
those working under him simply be-
cause at Christmas or when he mar
ries or has a birthday they present
him token.
They may like him. Let us trust
they do. They may even be fond of
him. But is that any reason why the
hat should be passed around by some
enthusiast in the service and every en-
ployee, even to the Office boy and the
janitor, be made to contribute?
Frequently it is severe drain upon
the resources of an employee to toss
coin or bill into the hat. He may
have sickness at home. He may be
supporting his aged mother. BE may
have children or wife to whom q
gift bought with the sum he feels NOR.
ally obliged to contribute would bring
happiness.
Do your work, Just as well as you
can. Be faithfulste loyal, but don't be
sycophantic: Don't expect to- curry
favor with the man higher up. merely
by helping him to a present. He
doesn't need it. He will appreciate you
and your work just as we'll and prob
ably better without taking such toll Of
you. If not he is not the right kndsof
boss, and YOU ought to get another one

Dear! Dear! Diamonds Bearer!
Do you hear the wild wall that
comes whooping out Of Gotham? Alas,
It loads the air with anguish! Dia-
m0nds are dearer-n0t the big dia-
monds such as the Cullinan. of some
32f carats, or the Kohinoor. which
might be mistaken for goose egg but
for its cut-up condition; no, it is only
the smaller diamonds that have be-
come dearer, because a diamond trust
has been organized to boost the prices.
This indeed is sad news to the vast
majority of us. How are we going to
get in our second supply of winter
coal with handy little diamonds gone
up to anywhere between 500 and $500
carat? We learn that the prices Of
food products very recently have
taken a slump, which is welcomed by
ALL but isn't half or tvo-tllirxls Of the
Joy taken oct Of that news by this dis
tressing intelligence as TO the ascend
ing price Of small diamonds?
Shall we not be constrained now to cut
down our charities. perhaps even de-
crease the size Of the coin we toss into
the collection box a church, retrench on
the quantity OF potatoes the wife fries
for breakfast and otherwise deny our
selves and our families and society in
general many Of the comforts which
hitherto we and they have accepted as
a matter Of course? How shall we
continue to wear carats on our shirt
fronts or to replenish the supply when
the old ones become threadbare and dis
reputable looking? Are we to be COM
PEELED to wear our diamonds two sea-
sons hereafter, or-perish the thought.
!--even three?
This thing OF trusts forming to force
up the prices Of the necessaries Of
life had gone far enough, we thought,
when it reached beefsteaks and calf's
liver. But now-our pen halts at the
prospect presented by the diamond
trusts cruel act r..

st. Peter Herald: Senator eastman

st. Peter Herald: Senator eastman
ut Owatonna has reintroduced mis-
"eQual rate bill, measure which is
is patterned after the Iowa distance
tariff law. At the last session of the
legislature railway influence was strong
enough to defeat it. but with unbiased
there seems to be hopes of its receiving
fair consideration at this session. In
recent years it has come to be under
stood that Shippers in the smaller
cities of the state cannot compete with
those located at the terminals, but,
despite that knowledge, few people
were prepared for the braZen admls-
sion that appeared In the Minneapolis
Journal of Tuesday night Comment
ing upon the proposed rate law. the
Journal said: 1t IS constructed on
the theory that 1T is not wise to
develop large business centers, but
rather that. all towns should become
jobbing points. The trouble with this
theory is that while 1t does develop
several helpless little jobbing points,
1t binders all large development.
Having been permitted, through the
medium Of unfair aud discriminating
freight rates, to plumber the people of
the state for more than fifty years.. the
twin cities have come to regard the
rate monopoly as; one of their vested
rights, and it is. high time that they
we're put on an equal footing with
other Minnesota cities. st. Peter. for
example. has paid toll to St. Paul and
Minneapolis long enough, and it will
welcome any measure that will make
for its own upbuiiding. 1t any county
member of the legislature harhored
doubts as to the desirablllty Of the
eastman bill, that one sentence in the
Minneapolis Journal should convert
him into one of its most ardent sup
porters.

I1fnco On war e y

ss l y On War Scarce.
Joel r. Benton u. Poug hkeepsie, y J.
long and fayorably known as D poet
Of parts, does the public good serv!|
ice In prose when he calls attention to
the late slamented and still beloved
Abraham Lincoln's notion of war
scares.@ MT. Benton points out this re-
mark, which Mr.. Lincoln made to an
audience in Illinois: -
"All the armies of Europe, Asia and
Africa combined, with all the treas
ures Of the, earth, our own excepted,
in their military chest, with Bona
parte for commander, could not by
force take a drink from, the Ohio or
make a track on the Blue Ridge in a
trial Of thousand years." ?
That Lincolnian remark, it is true,
smacks somewhat of the quality of
hyperbole as the rhetoric books de-
fine it. Yet, like most Of Lincoln's ut
terances, it contains a base rock of
solid truth. Who's afraid, anyhow?
This nation has existed for 1874 years,
counting from the date when the Con-
tinental congress adopted the Declare:
ton of Independence. Washington
and his allies fought nearly eight years
to establish the nation. Beginning in
1912, the successors of Washington
fought nearly three years to maintain
it against the same implacable but not
invincible foe. It is true that during
that war the British did invade us and
burn our capitol, but they never made
a track on the Blue Ridge. and they
never took swig Of the murky Ohio's
water. They had to content themselves
with the blue Potomac, which is salty
to the taste, and their feet stuck only
in the mud fats Of the Washington
city Of those days.
A nation of 10O,O00,0OO freemen has
no need to fear invasion into the
heart of its territory. An enemy might
''board u.s." SO to speak, at the rim
but even in that event the chances are
that he would get knocked off into the
salt water before he could say Jack
Robinson. 1t is we'll enough to be pre-
pared for emergencies, but there's
really no use In getting scared. Lin
coin knew this, and that is why he
said so In that delightfully."- indirect
way.

RELIC OF ANTIQUITY.
The Seal That Is So Often Used on
Legal Documents. :.

The Seal That Is So Often, Used on
Legal Documents.
A most absurd thing connected with
legal business is the little piece of red,
green or blue paper or daub of sealing
wax which we often place at the end
of signature to deed. will or other
important document.
1t is very small thing in size, but
one to which a great deal Of impor-
tauce is frequently given. 1t is a relic
Of antiquity. and no plausible excuse
can be invented for continuing it's use.
Some Of the more progressive states
have practically abolished it's use by
legislation. which deprives it of any
technical legal significance. In others,
however. it is still used with all Sc
robustness and solemnity. and an al
most magical value is given to It by
dfgniied judges that is little less than
ridiculous.
A man died years ago leaving part
Of his estate to another to enjoy while
he lived, with the privilege Of devising
it at his death to others whom he
might select by writing under his
hand and SEAL" A writing was exc
cuted so devising the property. but it
was contested by others claiming the
property upon the technical ground
that the paper contained no seal after
the signature and the devise was
therefore void
A wise Philadelphia Judge closely
scrutinized the signature and after
carefully listening to the arguments
of lawyers decided that at the end of
the signature there was an extra
scroll or flourish made with the pen
with which the signature was made
and that this was sufficient in law to
constitute seal.-Case and Comment
