Several elderly men were sitting
down.
''Hm-m-m," said one of the girls, in a
markedly loud voice. great line OF
politeness you see on these cars, don't
you, Susie? The poor men are tired,
I suppose, but the ladies can stand, no
matter how tired they areI
Don't you care" said Susie, con-
solingly; I'D hate to see them hurt
themselves by being polite"
Neither men nor boys made the slight
est move toward offering the indignant
ladies" a seat, and l for one did not
blame them.
The "aEgrcssive' woman gets little in
the way Of unnecessary courtesies from
men. She antagonizes them, and they
treat her as they would d man.
l have yet 10 meet the woman who
makes much headway by demanding
brusquely where she might request
gently.
OF course, there are men on whom
genteness is thrown away: they must
be sledge-hammered, if YOU would
make an Impression on them.
Frowning Women
Always Stand.
You may notice that the woman who
enters car and looks fiercely at every
man who happens to be seated, as
though she would say, Brute, how
dare you sit while I stand?" usually
continues TO stand.
But if she looks swcotly pathetic and
fatigued, some gallant gentleman offers
her a seat.
Woman has her rights, my sisters. and
many. many Of them, but she holds
them principally because man loves
to give them to her.
When a man offers his scat in the
subway or surface car and she takes
it without a word of thanks, can You
blame him for feeling that his po,itcnpss
mas been thrown away?
Very often it happens that thor
oUghlV tired man offers hi scat to a
woman who has don" nothing but 20 to
a matinee and sit all afternoon.
Some women make the mistake Of re-
fustng n seat thus offered, and saving,
'Nou are more tired than l, keep your
seat"

MEXICANS BURN
CUSTOM HOUSE
But Government Documents
Had Been Removed
GENERAL CASILLAS CAPTURED
Troops Make Slow Progress, Fearing
Snares-otficiaIs' Reported Deaths
Flatly Denied-Stories of Brutality
Are Told.

CalexicO, Cal.-Insurgents in posses
sion of MeXicali carried out their
threats and burned the buildings OF
the Mexican customs service, located
Just across the international line.
Gems. Leyva and Berthold had warn
ed the Mexican officials that if they
undertook to resume the collection of
duties the insurgents would return and
destroy the buildings of the govern
ment. The insurgents kept heavy
patrol on all Mexicali streets, and the
burning of the building was accom-
plished with no excitement.
The Mexican officials had moved all
valuables and papers to the American
side when the insurgents reappeared
in MeXicaii
The insurgent leaders have received
reports from their scouts that Gov.
Celso Vega has divided his troops and
has sent detachment south of Mex
icali to swing around and come into
the town from the southeast, while
another party is marching toward Mex
icali from Picacho Pass.
Rumors which have been current for
several days alleging the death of
Vice President Ramon Coral and Gen.
Luque and Col. Cuellar, the latter the
presidents chief of staff, are spe-
cifically denied.
Jefe POlitico Martinez's public reCep-
ton to Gen. Navarro has been post
poned, as Navarro did not arrive. An
insum'ecto courier definitely located
the federal leader at lake about so
miles south.
The insmrectO forces are scattered
between Ahumada and Juarez, wher-
ever they can find pasture and water.
The country for hundred miles south
of here is practically deserted. Man

Gated of the inSurgent leaders and

ried rifle in violation of the neutral
ity laws and was taken into custody
Navarro, fearing mines under the
tracks or bridges, is said to be pro
ceeding at a snail's pace. The track
is inspected ahead OF the train, which,
together with the repairs he is COM
PEELED, renders his advance tedious.

The Sacred Cod.

The cod was the forerunner Of
American aristocracy. He boasts no
Norman blood and his name is EN-.
blazoned in no Domesday book, but
New England heraldry has celebrated
him for generations. Even discrimin'
ating Boston has deified him, and a
creature which in New York is boiled
and served with egg sauce is at the
Hub gnshrined upon the altars of lib
erty and guarded by the holy vestals.
That is to say, these honors are paid
to the Yankee cod caught or pur.
chased in Canadian waters by fisher,
men cruising under the American flag.
A plain, ordinary Canadian cod intro.
duced by native of the Dominion is
not only rejected by good society in
Massachusetts, but if he insists upon
landing he is taxed at the custom
house at the rate of three-quarters OF
cent pound. From all this it will
appear that the cod, like man, an.
other aristocrat, derives his coronet
and his pretensions from privilege. 1t
is privilege and not the cod that has
been disturbed. Fresh, salted, shred
ded and in balls, the sacred fish still
reposes in Gloucester's bosom, it's lin
cage unquestioned, it's past at least
secure.-New York World.

DEMOCRATS SPLIT
ON "UNIFORMlTY."
Speaker Vinine and Senator Yount
Hold Different Views on School
Textbook Question.

Columbus, O.-Speaker Vining OF
The Ohio house of representatives and
Senator Yount, both Democrats, are at
loggerheads over the declaration in the
Democratic state platform in favor OF
uniformity of text books"
Speaker Vining says the plank means
state uniformity and in line with
that expression has had bill intro
duced by Representative Gebhart
which provides for state uniformity.
Senator Yount introduced bin for
county uniformity early in the session.
Speaker Vining says the county uni
formity bill has the backing of the big
school book companies. In circular
Just issued, Senator Yount charges
that state uniformity would be wholly
in the interest of three or four big
school book publishers. Senator Yount
makes direct attack on state uniform
ity, although a year ago he was the
author of a measure which provided
for this very thing. In his circular,
Senator Yount says state uniformity
would cost the people millions Of dol
lars because it would mean a change
of all school books; and he points out
that county uniformity would not per-
NIT one small commission to contract
for five million dollars worth of books.
Senator Yount charges school people
who oppose his bill as being Influenced
by small graft"
The educators of the state are
against both measures, and they are
active in their opposition.
1t is expected that Speaker Vining
and Representative Gebhart will make
an answer to the Yount circular and
show up the fallacies of the Yount con-
tentions.
Small book companies complain that
both the Yount and ViningGebhart
bills are in the interest of the big COM
panies. School men throughout the
state complain that the Yount bill will
put the question of selecting school
books into politics.
Senator YOunt claims that millions
of dollars may be saved by the enact
ment of his measure while the Oppo-
nents point out the absence of any
price limitations in the bill, and assert
that the operation of such law would
involve millions of added expense with
no price reduction.

NAME NO LONGER A SECRET
Meaning Of Initial That Has BaffIed
Cleveland People Has Been
Revealed.

Another mystery at school headquar-
ters has been dispelled.
The middle name of Assistant Su-
perintendent Frank P. Bachman has
been discovered. It's Puterbaugh.
Ever since Mr.. Bachman entered
Cleveland school circles some three
years ago to take charge of the Nor
NAL Training school, diligent efforts
have been made to learn what the
middle initial in his name stood for.
Girls at the Normal Training school
used to ponder between lessons on
what that mysterious letter hid from
the eyes Of prying world. In vain
they tried to fathom the darkness
that surrounded the second appela.
tion off their principal. Some finally
decided that it must stand for Per
cival. This met with indignant de
NAL, however.
But now the secret is out. 1t was
citizen of Athens, O.-Bachman' for.
mer home-who turned the trick.
Said citizen stalked into an office
at school headquarters the other day.
rs Puterbaugh in?" he inquired of
Frank Sheppard, Office boy.
"Puterbaugh, Puterbaugh?" ques-
toned the office boy. 1--WE have no
such person here.
Surely Mr.. Puterbaugh Bachman
is one of your superintendents."
And then the secret was out. Nor.
NAL school girls and others may now
breathe easier.-CleVeland Leader.

Exoneration of Charge of Wrecking

Observation-Disclosures here are

the United States since the publishing
of an exoneration of Spain in connec-
ton with the Maine explosion.
The Liberal warmly espouses prop

the statement of the North American
commission be translated into all the
European languages and the Philip
pine native tongue, with an explana-

be carefully distributed throughout
the world, to give the widest possible
publicity to the injustice of the charge
against Spain now withdrawn after 13

Invention of Gas,

The application of especially gener-
ated gas goes back at least to 1892,
when William Murdoch lighted his
house at Redluth, in Cornwall, by coal
gas. MurdoI O was possibly antici.
pated by LHbon and his "thermo.
lamp" in wlhch gas distilled from
wood was burned, however Murdoch
and the firm of Boulton, Watt & Co.
started the lighting of works. But
It was not till 1910 that the bill of
the London and Westminster Gas
Light and Coke Company was passed
by parliament.
