MltcheI,s boxing Lessons.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Through the filing of his campaign
expense account it was disclosed that
Mayor-elect John Purroy Mitchell
found it one of the necessities of his
campaign for the mayoralty to spend
1910 for boxing lessons and a course
in physical training. Just how i'm
portant he regarded the bearing of
boxing lessons on his chances to be-
come mayor and the work that he
might be called on to do in the camg
paign is shown in the prominence OF
this item in his statement of election
expenses.
The cost of the boxing lessons is the
biggest single figure in the account,
and represents more than half the
amount it cost Mr.. Mitchell personally
to be elected The 1910 was paid to
John Cooper for physical training
and the boxing exercises with a
helper" between September 16 and
November A.
All of the boxing lessons We're taken
by Mr.. Mitchell at his home, and there
were more than three of them week
while the campaign lasted. His in
structor, John Cooper, runs an ath-
letic school in West Forty-seventh
street. Manhattan, and devoted his
very best efforts, he says, to make
the mayor-elect sufficiently proficient
to protect himself from overzealous
campaign opponents.
The other items of Mr.. Mitchel's
election expense account include $55
to DR.. Frank e. Miller for throat
treatment" $50 to DIR. Harold Bar
clay. and $31 to Dr. G. j. Halrnar for
medical treatment" and 1881 for

Slll6S or ordinary comforts OF lllo'
The mother had made all sorts OF
sacrifices for the rearing and edu-
cation of her son. and after her hus-
| bands death had moved to little
village where, by taking in washing
and doing all sorts of drudgery. she
managed to pay the boys tuition IN
the academy there. And this was
the gratitude the poor old mother
received from her selfish, heartless
son. who for many years almost
never visited her. and rarely wrote
to her. and vet who had become rich
largely through his mothers train
ing. His whole life was so absorbed
in the money making game, his clubs,
golf. etc. that he had no time for
the mother who risked her life for
him.
Not long ago / heard mother,
whose sufferings and sacrifices for
her children during a long and terri
BILE struggle with poverty should have
given her monument, say that she
guessed she'd better go to the old
ladies home and end her days there.
What a picture that was! An old
lady with white hair and sweet,
beautiful face; calm, serene and pa
tent. yet dignified, whose children,
all of whom are married and success
full. made her feel as If she were a
burden. She had no home of her
own. not a single piece of furniture
or any of the things which ares so
dear to the feminine heart, while her
children lived in luxurious homes.
1t is a strange fact that our moth
ers, the molders of the world, should
get SO little credit and should be so
seldom mentioned among the world S
achievers. The world sees only the
successful son; the mother Is but a
round in the ladder upon which he
has climbed. Her name or face is
never seen in the papers; only her
son is lauded and held up to our adj
miration. Yet it was that sweet, pa
thetic figure in the background that
made his success possible.
How many mothers practically sac
rifice all that most people hold dear
est in life for their children! They
deliberately impair their health, wear
themselves out, make all sorts of sac
rifices to send their boy or girl to col
lege. They take in washing, go out
house-cleaning. do the hardest and
most mental work in order to give
their children an education and the
benefit of priceless opportunities that
they never had; yet, how often they
are rewarded only with total indiffer-
ence and neglect!
There is no one in the average fam
lily the value of whose services be-
gins to compare with those OF the
mother, and yet there is no one who

by the decision by which the will of

spent many weeks of intense study
while preparing Mr.. Sage's will. He
knew approximately what the value
of the Sage property was-something
like seventy million dollars.
Mr.. Sage instructed Mr.. Goodwin
to nominate in the will three execu-
tors of whom Mr.. Goodwin was to
be one. No money was bequeathed
TO the executors in lieu of executors

administration and execution of Mr.
Sage's estate would, by statutory
law, have entitled Mr.. Goodwin to
fees aggregating about 100000. Thai

The Cork Industry of Spain.
Z. S. Consular Report.


Seventy per cent. of the worlds
cork is produced in Spain and Por-
tugal. According to the best infor-
nation obtainable, there were pro-
duced in Spain during 1912 approx
mately $4,000 short tons of cork, of
which 1880 tons came from Seville
consular district, 1860 tons from
Catalina and Castellon, 7,110 tons
from Galicia and 1850 tons from the
two CASTLE Provinces. 1t is esti-
mated that the cork growers re-
ceived an average of $3.50 per ton
for this product, or $4,516,200 for the
entire quantity produced in Spain.
Practically all of the corkwood ex-
ported from Spain is from Seville
district, whereas only about one
sixth of the cork waste is exported
from here. The total value of the
cork exports of Spain during 1912
was $685. 69. divided as follows

About $500 tons of cork sawdust
are used in Spain annually in packing
fruits for shipment Some 10000 per-
sons are employed in some manner
in the cork industry in Spain, with
an average wage of about 81 cents
per day.

A Tree That Is a Weed.
~npa thu Cotrntrxy nnnf1op1

FROM the country GenIleInan
Many instances are on record in
which men have unwittingly intro
duced serious pests-the gypsy moth
in Massachusetts, the jack rabbit in
Australia, the hawkweed in Canada,
and the English sparrow all over the
map. But the most notable example
of a perverse weed persistently pro-
pagated and widely planted with un-
told labor and expense Is the Usage
orange hedge of the Mississippi Val
ley States. Today hundreds of thou
sands of miles OF this worse than
worthless weed line the roadways
from Ohio to Central Kansas.
It Is rather pretty as feature of
a fiat landscape laid out in checker
board plan along straight section
lines, but the men who planted it
were not landscape gardeners and
never had a glimmering idea of in
vesting their time and labor in Usage
orange hedges for the Identification
of the countryside. They planted it
and tended it for years on the theory
that it was going to be useful. AS
matter of fact, proved now by the
universal experience of forty years,
these hedges are weeds of the worst
order They do more actual dam
age than sunflowers and Russian
thistles. Each one robs a strip of
land one or two rods wide. Neither
grain nor hay nor pasture of any
value will grow within sixteen and

Usage orange. And as for its being
of any use, everybody knows that
not one mile of that hedge out of
every 500 was ever used for fencing.
When cattle have to be turned in
there are always big gaps in the
hedge, and the quickest way to mend
them is to put in one complete
barbed wire fence. Wire fence is
cheaper, UNNECESSARILY better and
doesn't steal an acre of land.
OF course the Usage orange is a

Shrewd Suffrage Scouts.
From the New York Sun.
The detachment of Jersey woman
suffragists that invaded Washington
showed it's tactical and strategic COM
potency by making straight for the
key of the position.
Instead of wasting efforts on Con-
gress, these women asked Mr. Wilson
to urge the committee on rules to
have woman suffrage committee
appointed and boost the woman suf-
frage amendment to the constitution.
To know where the cnat of power Is,
where the essence OF Congress Is, to
apply to the all-powerful committee
of one instead of dribbling away time
on secondary bodies, this is evidence
of a high and sound political sense,
upon which the Sun congratulates
these suffrage scouts of Jersey.

From the Phila. Record.
| The hunting parson is not SO
| common feature of English society
as he once was, and that is possibly
| the reason why a monument has been
erected to one and an archbishop has
made an address before it, justifying
| the habits of the deceased. There was
a time in England when no ceremony
of that sort was needed when a rural
clergyman passed away, and If it had
been the whole bench of bishops would
have been insufficient to deliver the
eulogies.
Fox hunting is in truth very slight
ly connected with a fox. In this
country, where it Is not a national
institution, and where the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
often makes itself inconvenient, anise
seed has been found to be a tolerably
satisfactory substitute. Fox hunt
ing rests upon the medical dictum
that 1.-THE outside of horse is the
best thing for the inside of a man."
It's the ride across the country, and
not the killing of the fox, that is the
essential part of the fox hunt
Until humanitarianism became very
highly, and, in the opinion of some
hardened persons, morbidly, devel-
oped the attitude of the fox toward
hunting was not at all considered.
There are some persons in England,
and a great many in the United
States, who would not scruple to put
the harmless but unnecessary cat out
of their way, who are indignant at
the cruelty of chasing a fox to his
death.
But on the other hand it is insisted
that the fox Is perfectly useless and
depredator upon henroosts, and when
eggs are worth five cents apiece he
would be exterminated If he were not
saved for the hunt. The fact that he
is alive at all the owes, therefore,
to the fox hunters, and as to his
end Ernest Thompson Seton tells us
that all wild animals die violent
deaths, and the fox gets as little
mercy from other wild animals as
he in turn shows to the hens and the
geese. Furthermore, Mr.. Seton be-
lieves he enjoys the tunt until the
dogs actually get him, and frequently
they do not get him, and he has all
of the exhilaration of the run and the
final sense of triumph.
AS the argument of an optimist this
could hardly be surpassed, but 1t has
been once by one of the most eIniiicIs
OF Americans. The president emeritus
of Harvard University has nicely bal
anced TIE sensations of the tiger and
the antelope when they meet, which is
always involuntary on the part of the
latter, and has reached the conclusion
that the JOY of the tiger in getting
square meal is keener and lasts longer
than the distress of the antelope is
supplying 1t, as his unhappy moments
are extremely brief. Therefore tie
amount of happiness in the world is
increased every time a tiger meets an
antelope.
This view Is commended by the fact
that Dr. Eliot, being neither a tiger
nor an antelope, is necessarily impair
tial, but 1t also recalls the ribald def
milton of an optimist as man who
does not care what happens so long
as 1t doesn't happen to him.
