A pathetic incident occurred in the
Waits school in Pittsburg. One of the
teachers brought a beautiful red rose
to school, which. holding up before
the scholars, she asked, Now, chill
dren, how many Of you know what
this is?" Nearly every little one
shook his head, to indicate ignorance.
One small boy and couple of little
girls piped out. with great import
ance, Its a posie, please, mann"
But no one had ever heard of rose.
Most of the children had never seen
one before The teacher put 1t in a
glass Of water to preserve It, and
when school was dismissed each child
was rendered supremely blissful by
the gift Of tiny petal. AS they filed
out Of the door, each little waif
clutched his treasure tightly In his
small hand, while he murmured softly
to himself the name. "Pitty wose, pit
ty wose."

MIND YOUR p's AND .Q's"
One Theory 10 That the Old Saying
Originated In the Printing
Office.

Several explanations have beer
given of the origin of the phrase
Mind your P's and Q's." One is thai
it is derived from an old custom OF
hanging a slate up in an alehouse on
which was written or Q-that is
pint or quart-against the name oil
each customer according to the guam
tity which he had drunk; to be paid
when the wages were given on Satur-
day night.
Another explanation given in the
Dietetic and HYGIENE Gazette Is that
the sentence originally was Mind
your toupees and queues" The tou-
pee was an artificial lock of hair and
the queue the pigtail Of olden time.
A riddle used to be in vogue as fol-
lows: who is the best person to keep
the alphabet in order? Answer: A
barber, because he ties up the queues
and puts toupees In irons"
Charles Knight gives the most
plausible explanation, as follows:
81 have always thought that the
phrase Mind your P's and Q's' was de-
rived from the schoolroom or the
printing office. The forms Of the
small ps and as in the Roman type
have already been puzzling to the
child and the printers apprentice. In
the one the downward stroke Is on the
left of the oval; in the other, on the
right.
Now, when the types are reversed,
as they are when In process Of dis
tribution they are returned by the
compositor to his case, the mind Of
the young printer is puzzled to dis
tinguish the p from the q. In sorting
pi or a mixed heap Of letters, where
the p and the are not in connection
with any other letter forming word,
l think 1t would be almost impossible
for an inexperienced person to distin-
guish which is which upon the in
slant"

The Absurdlty of overwork.

DR.. c. Hutchinson Eely, the brain ex-
pert of Duluth, was discussing the new
tuberculin cure for progressive paraly-
sis, malady common to brain work
ers.
"Tuberculin has cured third of the
cases it has been tried on" he said.
Hence 1t may be called pretty good
cure. But a better cure for the diseases
due to overwork is rest"
DIR. Hutchinson Eely thumped the ta-
BILE vigorously.

WOMEN DOCTORS NOT NEW

modern 'feminisme." 1t seems that in
the eighteenth century there was a
lady student at Florence. She came
from Malta under the patronage Of
the knights of the Malta. The ad-
ministrator Of the Majeur hospital
was somewhat embarrassed with his
new pupil, but he found means out
Of the difficulty.
The chief of the Order Of the
Knights Of Malta In introducing his
lady protege to the professors Of the
Florence School Of Medicine wrote:
1T seems to me that the matter
could be arranged without any great
inconvenience If the young lady were

the nuns in neighboring convent, for
which we would pay five crowns a
week. In regard to her instruction

me that she should not be present in

well disposed to the Knights, adopted

elapsed before another lady was en-
rolled In the schools Of Florence. She
was Russian and was admitted to
the schools OF Santa Maria Nuova.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Dog Walks 40 Miles to Reach Favor
lite Spot Behind Butcher
Shop Stove.

II you've ever felt the pangs Of
homesickness and have longed for the
quiet of a small town in contrast to
the hustle and hustle of big city
your sympathy will 80 out to Dewey,
2 white bulldog who, pining for his
personal soft spot behind meat mar
ket stove in La Crosse, Wis, walked
the entire distance from st. Paul to
that city.
A letter from La Crosse tells of the
arrival there of the dog, which Is the
property of Oscar Baum, a ST.. Paul
meatcutter who formerly lived in
the Wisconsin city.
Dewey is now sleeping behind the
stove in the meat market In La
Crosse, which his master formerly
owned. Although Mr.. Baum brought
the dog to st. Paul in the express car
of a fast limited train and offered him
all kinds of inducements and delica-
cies not to be had in small town,
Dewey was not happy.
He ran away and appeared unex-
pected at his old home. Wagging his
short tail furiously, he scratched and
whined for admittance.
The 140 miles he had tramped had
made him footsore and weary. His
tongue was hanging far out of his
mouth and he was painting. Deweys
eyes were bright, however, and he
was not too tired to yawn In a friend
ly manner at his old trusted friend,
the market cat.
When his master telephoned from
St. Paul that he would go to La
Crosse to get him the gaunt little
fighting pet was sleeping the peaceful
sleep of the weary. Between his
paws was a discarded bone, and the
satisfied grin on his battle-scarred
face told more plainly than words that
he preferred a meager bone in La
Crosse to porterhouse steak in st.
Paul.

COMMISSIONS
OF TWO JUDGES

(trom Monday g Adyertiser.)
Yesterdays mail brought to Judge
Charles F. Clemens of the United
States District Court, and possibly to
Chief Justice Robertson of the SUI
preme court, their commissions to the
high judicial Offices they hold, replac-
ing the recess commissions under which
they have been serving.
Judge Clemens new commission is
dated May Is, as finally concurred in
by the senate, and he will serve six
years from that date. Judge Robert
son was unaware yesterday afternoon
that mail had arrived from the
Coast and had not been to the post
Office, but it is probable that his COM
mission is also here.
No definite plans have yet been
made, but as the first Judge of the
United States District Court, Judge
Dole, is away, it is probable that Judge
