this act, the person 50 offending

to those who seek to evade it. The
people are taxed to support schools
OH the theory that the better the
education Of the people, the better
will be the citizenship Of the people.
Inferior educational preparation or
schooling means inferior earning
power in life pursuits The best
thing that parents may give their
children is liberal schooling. For
schooling gives better wages (if the
schooling is of the completer sort)
to the citizenship when earning
power is considered, and more and
far better, it gives higher living
power, the capacity to enjoy moro
things in life in more satisfying
way. The law says keep the child
in school; future earning power de-
mands it; and future life happiness
requires it.

telling anecdotes of Philadelphia ceIebri-

his youth and. when secretary to the
American minister to England. he had
the honor of dancing with Queen Victoria
at court ball at Buckingham Palace.
He was the only American who ever had
this honor The queen singled him out
for her partner in the cotillon on account
of his good looks and his grace.

that climbing the Aiguille du Midi from
the Chamonix side is not job for anna
teurs, but rather one that requires sang
froid and rare judgment, it was beyond
the writer's comprehension how con-

falling stones, and in some couloirs these
come down every few minutes. Light
