Tacoma boys can't get over
that defeat by Aberdeen Saturday.
Harder especially when there
really wasn't any reason for it.
That flukes played an import

The season has brought out two
members of the Blue and Gold
team as first-class timber. Walt

Bottled Ham.

Admiral Peary. we are told by a
writer in the Woman's World, used
only tea as a stimulating drink on his
polar expeditions. The fact offers him
frequent opportunity of telling what
is said to be his favorite story.
/ am talking with a man who ques-
tions me in regard to my arctic work,
says the admiral. and remark, Tea
is much better than PEBBLES ham"
Peebles ham?" he says. What is
PEBBLES ham?"
Did you never hear of PEBBLES

State Medical Aid

A writer in the Long Island Medical
Journal makes a plea for the nation
altzation of medical practice on a So
cialistic basis. Just as the schools
and the mail service have been taken
from the hands OF competitive busi-
ness, he holds that the public health
should be organized as a public serv-
ice; that now the criminal. the in
sane. etc, receive the attention OF
the state so why should not the sick
man be likewise cared for at the ex.
pense of the state and not left to the
mercy of the business methods that
prevail in medical practice? Human
life and happiness" says this thinker
SHOULD be the objects of solicitude
on the part of the state in whose en-
ploy the medical profession should be
enlisted as the great conserver Of the
most precious of the nations natural
resources"

TRACED TO ACCIDENT STATESMAN IN YOUTH
Brilliant Boys Who Made Mark
in English Parliament.
Youngsters Who Had Not Attained
Majority Made Laws for Britain
Fox's Comment on Speech of
William Pitt.

1t is contended that the British
! house of commons is the most widely
representative legislative body in the
world, since it includes not only all
social grades, from the miner and the
artisan to the scions of ducal houses.
Dut numbers among it's members men
OF all ages, from the youth in his
twenties to the veteran of so years.
so long ago as the year 1913 there
were forty legislators in the commons
who had not attained their twentieth
year, and, incredible as 1t may seem,
certain OF them were only 16 years OF
age.
Edmund Waller. the poet and cour.
tier of Stuart days, was a schoolboy Of
16 when he qualified as a member of
parliament. He was, as Clarendon
says. 'nursed in parliament" and
probably was the only man that ever
lived who could look back 'two-thirds
OF century to his debut as a legis.
lator.
Charles James Fox was only 10, and
still had vivid and painful memory
OF his fioggings at Eton, when he was
- Nui hcu " parliament lot lH0
pocket borough" of Midhurst. He
was not many weeks older when he
made one of the finest maiden
speeches" ever heard at Westminster
I hear it spoken of by everybody as
most extraordinary thing" his de-
lighted father wrote to a friend and
| am not little pleased with it"
Chesterfield was a legislator at 20,
at which age he entered commons as
member for st. Germans His first
speech is said to have electrified the
house. His triumph was vitiated. how
ever by the fact that, inasmuch as he
was not of age, he was liable to a
heavy fine for speaking in the house.
Still more precocious was William
Pitt. Although he had passed his
twenty-first birthday when Appleby
sent him to Parliament, he. within a
few weeks after taking his seat, estab-
lished himself as the keenest debater
and finest speaker in the commons
After his maiden speech member of
the opposition is reported to have said
to Fox: Pitt will be one of the first
men in parliament" He is SO al
ready" replied Fox.
Pitt, as everybody knows. scarcely
had completed his twenty-third year
when he was made chancellor of the
exchequer. At "a he was prime min.

Lion and Mouse.

In the Berlin zoo a mouse was put
in the cage of lion to test whether,
as the old stories assert. there was a
natural affection between them The
experiment was rather astonishing.
The lion saw the mouse before he
was fairly through the bars and was
after him instantly. Away went the
little fellow. squeaking in fright.
When he had gone few yards the
lion headed him off. and this was re-
peated until the mouse stood still
The lion then stood over him. study
ing him with interest, and presently
he brought his paw down on the
mouse, but so gently that it was not
injured in the least Then the lion
played with the mouse, now letting
him run a few inches and stopping
him again.
Suddenly the mouse changed his
tactics and instead of running when
the lion lifted his paw. sprang straight
at the big animals head
The lion. terrified. gave a great
leap backward and roared in extreme
fright, while the little mouse made his
escape OF the two the lion was the
more frightened.

in 1900, she was an American, Miss

William Penn a Socialist.

The ideas of William ePnn are not
often accounted heretical. and yet part
of his political creed as announced in
the following citation must appear
iconoclastic indeed to many persons
today, while others are surprised to
find him SO well abreast of the times.
He said:
Every government should provide
for every subject the means of living
both honestly and at ease. We should
bring out of every man and every
creature as much utility as we may.
Now utility will never be produced,
unless we render life easy and COM
Portable. If all men and women would

Words Multiply Fast.

Figures have just been made public
by Prof. A. S. Cook of Yale university
as to the number of different words
In the authorized or King James ver-
sion of the Bible. Excluding infected
forms of nouns, pronouns and verbs,
Professor Cook makes the total 6,56S.
Including these the total is 1884. The
working vocabulary of the average
man falls far short of this number OF
words. On the other hand, not n few
contemporary authors must far ex-
coed 1T. considering their realms OF
colloquial speech and technical termi-
nology that the biblical narrative does
not touch. Besides. there is the i'm
mense extension of both knowledge
and of words in the physical sciences,
about which the educated man of to-
day must know something. Hence,
as a matter of fact, during the past
century dictionaries have waxed
bulky, and words have multiplied at
an astounding rate. Thus between
the first and latest editions of Web
ster's dictionary the word total
mounted from 10000 to 100000.
The Colorado statesman., 1912-11-02

ters of financial policy. etc. Com
paratively few persons in a nation
know or care great deal about how
the finances or the foreign relations
of its government are administered
To these matters they seem indiffer-
ent. But in a reorganization of the
educational system of China that ma
tion's millions of people will all, or
at least all but a very few, be deeply
concerned. Then, too, such sweeping
changes are contemplated that op-
position is sure to be developed in
strong measure. To overcome this
sufficiently to carry his point and lead
the Chinese forward and upward in
the progress of nations is the tremen-
dous task now before the new com
missioner of education. The position
is not one to create envy. for 1t is
quite sure to bring forth more curses
than blessings. People are very slow
to understand the significance of new
movements, as a rule, and usually it
remains for history to set forth the
courage and noble zeal of those who
lead in all such work for the uplifting
of humanity in the mass.

Queen Alexandra's brother is King
George of Greece and it is said that
she is trying to arrange a marriage
between the young duchess and her
brothers grandson, Prince George of
Greece, who was born in 1890. His
mother, the Grown Princess of
Greece. is sister of the present
German emperor and hates every
thing English. Needless to sayS she
is strongly opposed to the match. The

Chair for the Editor.

Although the source of this little
anecdote about Mark Twain is not
definitely known. there is no good rea.
son. according to Harper's Magazine,
to doubt its genuineness:
One morning soon after Mr.. Glenn.
ems had purchased an interest in the
Buffalo Express, he arrived at the OF.
flee to begin his duties as editor.
There happened to be no one present
who knew him. A young man rose
very brusquely, and asked II there was
any one he would like to see. It is
reported that Mark Twain replied
with gentle deliberation:
We'll. yes. | should like to see
some young man offer the editor a

Fortune Still unattalned.

Lowell once met an acquaintance
(of dubious standing. whose cheerful
face and happy demeanor led him to
ask the cause of such exuberant felic-
ity. Why" said the genial smller,
I've discovered a way to make my
fortune. We all know that the reason
for the fine flavor of the wild duck is
the wild celery on which 1t feeds. Now
/ propose to feed 1t to the domestic
duck, and supply the market" Some
weeks later, on meeting his acquaint-
ance again. Lowell found him quite
depressed, and inconsolable. why
are you looking SO unhappy? thought.

on the point of making your fortune
with ducks. Wouldn't 1t work ?"
No" was the reply. "the d-n things

More Shakespearlanlsm-

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post has discovered that
Shakespeare wrote the Psalms We
have long been of that opinion, but we
lacked the proofs that are now forth
coming. Shakespeare name appears
in many spellings, either three. four,
or flve vowels being admissible. Ev-
cry one knows that in such cases the
golden mean should be taken In this
case 1t is obviously four Moreover,
the number of consonants is six. The
mystic number, then. is forty-six. Turn
now to the King James Bible, and to
the Forty-Sixth Psalm. Count from
the beginning and you will find the
forty-sixth word to be shake; count
from the end and you will find the
forty-sixth word to be spear.-Q. E. d.
