When the late legislature passed q
law permitting the sale of cigarettes
under certain restrictions and put the
enforcement of the law up to the
state dairy and food commission it es-
tablished precedent that may prove
bothersome some day. It took from
the local authorities the control of a
considered necessary evil and placed
it in the hands of a central body
What if the enforcement of the LIQUOR
laws, together with the issuance of
licenses, were so centralized. No
prospective administration that I
know of is laundering for such an in
noVation, but it might come in time.

building, for which 100000 was ap-
propriated by the legislature, is to be

ORIGIN OF FIRE WATER"
Indian Method of Discovering i
Traders Whisky Was Diluted.

From Bonfort's Spirit and Wine Circular.
When the Hudson Bay Trading Com
pany began it's trading among the Indians
it was found that by selling the Indians
liquor they could more easily be induced
to trade their peltries.
The first whisky or intoxicant of in
feior quality was distilled in England
and brought to America in large barre.s,
but in transporting it overland it was
found more convenient to divide it into
small kegs
The traders soon became aware of the
fact that by diluting the whisky with
water more furs could be obtained. This
was practiced for some time, but the In
dams learned that good whisky poured
on a fire would cause it to flame up,
whereas had the whisky been diluted the
fire would be quenched- 1t was by this
simple experiment that the term fire
water became a common word among
Indians.
A chief who had experienced the bad
effects Of whisky among his people said
it was most certainly distilled from the
hearts Of wildcats and the tongues Of
women from the effects it produced.

"You have the appearance of a liter

stranger II have no doubt that you

by writing poetry. 1 noticed your resem-

what the world is coming to when re-
spectacle married women who have grown
daughters and beautiful but unfortunate
grandchiId must suffer such nefarious
treatment.
1.-THE only poetress that ever lived in
this community was Mrs. Triphammer,
whose husband was respectable milk
man. That poor man worked from early
morn to dewy eve, being out on his route
selling milk to customers, and when he
went home all tired and hungry do you
suppose that reprehensible woman had
any victuals ready for him? No. indeed.
She sat around the house all day writing
poems to the effect that the rose was red
and the violet blue, and her husband had
cold cheese and sardines. Which is why
I say that any woman who writes poetry
when she should be preparing victuals for
her family is a viper"
well, madam, if you don't write poetry,
you surely have a large correspondence.
A lady of your admirable presence must
have numerous friends among the elite
Of our own country. to say nothing Of the
crowned heads of Europe. and CORE
spending with them must be an onerous
task. especially if you use an old-fash-
toned pen. Now, I am introducing Pro-
lessor Spieler's fountain pen, the noblest
product of science. If you will examine
the pen for one moment
II won't examine your pen, even il it's
Endorsed by all the government chemists

The best thing you can do Is to place as
much landscape behind you as you can
before my husband appears upon the
scene like a roaring lion seeking whom
he may devour, for he loses all control of
himself when anybody mentions fountain
pens in his presence, he having fallen
into the snare of the fowler several weeks
ago.
Mr.. Curfew is grand worthy recorder
of the Sons Of Salamanders, and he keeps
his records at home, and every SO often
he has to make out report to be SUBJ
of the scads. He was writing his report
in the kitchen one afternoon and 1t hap
pened that the pen he was using was a
bad one. Just then an agent came to the
door selling fountain pens and my hus-
band was foolish enough to buy one.

The Man Of the Past and the
Man Of the Present.

There is radical difference between
the man of the present and the man Of
the past
The man Of the past lived in a constant
state of war. Fighting was an occupa-
ton as recognized and as permanent as
tailoring or farming. Every nation was
expected to go to war about once in so
often.
The result was that the works Of mems
hands, their goods, their houses, their
institutions of all kinds. including church
and court, were perpetually threatened
with destruction.
Hence the effort of all good men was
put forth mainly to maintain and defend
the products of their work.
Hence education also consisted in train
ing the child for place in some instl-
tuition. He was prepared to be a noble.
an ecclesiaStic or a warrior; or he learned
by apprenticeship to be a mercer, a
smith, cobbler, farmland, and the
like.
The whole problem was stability. how
mankind could hold what it had got:
The man of the present finds himself
in a different situation.
War is not an ordinary factor; it has
become extraordinary. occasional The
institutions and possessions Of nations
are no more under increasing threat.
So far from a strife TO maintain, the
energy of these times goes out toward
changing. the conditions under which
We live.
Then a reformer was on level with
the traitor and the nihilist; the church
roasted him, the judge hung him. the
king shot him. Nowadays everybody is
a reformer Progression. reimbursement
development, is in the air. Then men
devoted themselves to preserving their
institutions; now they devote themselves
to improving them.
Consequently, education today means
totally different thing from the thing 1t
once meant. The men were trained to
defend the walls; now they are. or should
be, trained to sally out and attack the
enemy.
The child today is to become soldier
of change He must learn to fall on his
feet, to be resourceful, aggressive.
He is no more to be taught SO that he
may be useful lin that station and call
ing wherein Providence has placed him..
but to be equipped for any station.
The son of democracy is as likely to
be president Of the republic, director of
railways or ambassador to the court of
ST. James as he Is to follow his fathers
trade of housepainting.
Hence vocational training for young
children is medieval. The child should
be trained for but one thing-life.
Life under progressive democracy be-
comes more and more fluid. An education
that is hard and fixed is belated

nent collection of the Corcoran Gallery
and the other for the Art Institute of
Chicago. Mr. Fosters style is impressive,
his brushwork is broad. his color held in
loose shapely masses. His compositions,
furthermore. have pictorial quality.

Dearth is scarcely longer to be numbered
with the tonalists, having been infected
by the "modernists'' movement Of late,
but he has some excellent tonal canvases
to his lasting credit.

Willard L. Metcalf is another landscape
painter who renders surfaces finely and
as rule without loss of effect. He is a
realist and at the same time a man OF
poetic vision. Having full command of
his medium, he is enabled to express him
self freely and fully. His Red Oak IN

medal when shown at the Pennsylvania
Academy last winter. His May Night"
is owned by the Corcoran Gallery, and
two of his other paintings. Snow Gear

This full and enthusiastic study Of An
son Burlingame sums to a chapter of
United States diplomacy, both in it's
early bearing upon China and in the sub
sequent enlightened changes wrought in
this policy by the patriotic and humane
service of Mr.. Burlingame himself From
every possible point of view the author
examines the far-reaching wisdom of this
diplomat in his relations with the far
east and in his stanch advocacy of the
then unthinkable proposition of an OPEN
door policy. This study, so abundant in
international fact and inference is mo-
tived by a desire to render just tribute to
the man whose doctrine. long ignored is
now commonly accepted as one of the last
words of international wisdom
