so THEY KICKED THE KING
How English schoolboys for Once
Failed to Overlook I Title
Much honored.

MOST public school men who look
BACK upon their school days will admit
they We're scarcely conscious Of the
origin OF any Of their fellows. The
son OF tradesman had an equal
chance OF being popular with, the son
Of an ancient family. Tom Hughes was
unerring Ia his judgment when he gave
his scnoolboy hero the simple name Of
Tom Brown. Rev. Augustus Orlebar,
whose hight at Rugby suggested to Tom
Hughes Tom Browns fight with Slog-
ger Williams. thinks that the modern
boy IS pampercd beyond reason and is
In danger Of losing his hardness; also
that ne respects rank more than for
merly. The panpering may sometimes
be real. though we suspect that strict
medical observation. hygienic condi-
tons and careful choice Of food are
commonly mistaken for pampering.
But we cannot accept the social snob-
bishness. Mr.. Orlebar says that In his
day 1t was almost handicap against
a boy to be the possessor Of title"
we are not sure that the attitude Of
the present public schoolboy Is not
better. He would not press the pos
session Of title against any boy; he
would feel instinctively that to do 80
would be to make rather too much Of
the title. which In his view obviously
could never be so important as colors
In the cricken eleven or the football
team. There used to be a story that
when 1t was arranged that the Duke
OF Genoa. then boy at Harrow. was
to succeed to the throne of Spain every
boy IN the school (of sufficient size,
let us presume) solemnly kicked him
in order that he might have the graft.
fication Of saying in after years that
he had kicked q king. An embroidery
upon that significant legend tells ua
that only one boy rejected the great
opportunity, and he was member Of
royalist family. When asked why
he had refrained he piously exclaimed:
How could l kick the Lords anoint
ed ?"-The Spectator.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means SO much
to me that for the sake of other suffer-
ing women l am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter." MRS. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteville, vt.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing woman's ills such as infamma-
ton. liberation, fibroid tumors, irreg-
ularities, periodic pains and nervous
prostration, and it is unequalled for
carrying women safely through the
period of change of life.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice Is free,
and always helpful.

An Honor 20 Allison:


do you know" inquired Wilbur
Reaser, the New York portrait painter
that when my painting Of Senator AL
lison was hung In the lobby Of the sen
ate, the precedent Of 40 years was bro
ken ?"
Surprised being expressed Mr.. Rea
ser explained
1T il q fact that since the beginning
Of the constitutional government the
senate had bought only nine portraits
for the lobby. The first was Washing
toms and the eighth was Charles Sum
ner's. For almost 40 years nobody wal
considered worthy to follow In the d1s
tinguished line.
1T was generally thought that nc
other portrait would ever be added e
the group; but when Senator Allison
died, after serving longer n the senate
than any other man IN the history o.
the government, the rule was broken
and his picture became the ninth.

ALAS, POOR RENO

Something that occasioned a
great deal of surprise for us was
the announcement yesterday that
Reno's commissioners would bring
bach neither Mrs. Belle.Derby
nor Attorney Schnitzer, who were
recently indicted for perjury,
because "the county could not
afford the expense" From this it
would logically follow that Reno
ought to do way with all her
courts and her police force because
they, too. are a big expense to the
city. 1t is expensive to keep the
streets in good condition why not
allow them to fill with rocks? 1t
is expensive to keep city officials
Especially some of thcm) why not
do away with them? 1t is sad
day for Reno when she puts
avarice above justice. Virginia
