Schools Begun
By PERCY SHAW.

THERE is quiet on the street;
4 Almost every one you meet
Looks at every other one.
And there's something queer in that.
Here's the secret-School's begun.
Where's the racing pit-a-pat?
Where the rush of children feet?
Pray behold the doing cat
In the chair where Harry sat.
Look at mothers face she feels
10 one tagging at her heels;
Now the breakfast things are done,
She can sit and think awhile;
She has even time 10 smile.
Ioe'> not pulling Nary's hair;
There's a stiffness in the air;
Sort Of pleasant not to call:
Give your sister back her bail"
With a half an hour to spare
Seems like heaven everywhere.
Here's the Schools begun.
Wonder why it is? You know,
After the first day or so,
That the hours pass kind Of slow?
What's the reason that YOU look
AZ the clock and leave your book?
What's the reason that YOU kiss
Forty times the babblinp miss

Easy to Hypnotize
Supposedly Cool Men.

Even Americans, cool-blooded
and equally tempered as we imas-
inc ourselves to be. are able to fall
into d hypnotized state on slight
povocation, and while it does not
take us as long to recover our
selves to a normal condition as it
might a crowd of innammable
Celts, either of the French or Irish
type, yet we too know how to dis
cucumber ourselves of some of the
more human features of our nature
and to become momentarily obliv-
ious of our brains and forgetful of
our consciences.
A striking instance Of this oc-

Without at all disparaging the
Wonderfulness of the victory which
he gained, it is nevertheless the
fact that it SO upset the mental
equilibrium Of US all, and so para
lived that department of our being
Where our reasoning processes are
conducted, that the reason why no
one pronounced us insane was be
cause there was no one left that
was sane enough himself to be
qualified to adjudge us to the asy-

In New York we filed up our
streets with Inexpensive but daz-

it was only the general prevalence
of theistic convictions that pre-
vented the erection of affairs and
the prosration of ourselves in wor-
ship; and after a few days when,
as we remember, there came a re-

vulsiCn of sentiment, we tore down
the plaster shrines in as much 20
d spasmodic hurry as we put them
up.
We are not often silly as a peo-
pie, but we are liable to be.
We lose our heads, become boz
vine just frequently enough to con-
vince us of our possibilities. and 70
persuade us that to Whatever
height we have built ourselves m
in point of intelligence we can. .un-
der the mob impulse of some fiorv
incentive, throw off several of the
upper stories of our being and
bring it down to almost an asinine
level.
A funny little exhibit of the same
thing, where enthusiasm, excited to
high pitch and participated in by
a rather motley crowd, works
large volume of qualification and
reveals man with most Of his up-
per lights extinguished is afforded
by the prolonged bowling of a NOM
mating political convention that
will stand upon its feet by the
hour and belch forth its Republican
or Democratic delirium with a per-.
tinacity of vocal eruption to which
very few of the inferior order Of
animals would show themselves
equal.
The phenomenon is an interest
ing one-We might almost say an
impressive one.
One is curious to know what an
intelligent visitant from some other
sphere, where such nominating con-
ventiOns are not in vogue, would
imagine to be the real genius of the
occasion; what singular impulse it
could be that would engender such
an inundation of inarticulate dissC-
nance, and why so many creatures
Of such seeming ferocity can be al

His IDEAS on tne ownership of this

Should this resolution be adopt.

many OF the countries they are oper-

aggregate population OF $50, 0,000.vvU
and in every instance they have been
found to be OF immense financial oene-
tit to the people, in Doth promptitude
and profit.
Opportunity for Extension
"Postoffices are maintained in many
places not having telegraph wires,
and proposed construction there
would serve favorable opportunity
for the extension OF telegraph facil-
tiles. In many small towns where
the telegraph companies have Offices

De handled readily by the same EN-
ployes 1t Is evident that the separ

under present conditions results in
needless expense.
The first telegraph wire in the
United States was operated for years
by the government under authority of
congress and from many view points
it is desirable that government con
troll should be resumed A method
for the acquisition OF telegraph lines
is prescribed in section 5267 of the
revised statues, which provides that,
for postal, military or other purposes,
the government may purchase tele-
graph lines operated in the United
States at an appraised value.
Compared to Mail Service
"My own view is that every reas-
on for the transmission of mail un-
der government control can be urged
with equal force for the transmission
of communications by telegraph. Be
cause OF the more extensive organi'
