thing TO do. Also Il is having its ef-

given these movements by the more
strictly feminine magazines.

in the schools. If the women are look

THE SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
[Grinnell Register

When a trial which hints at per-
ver,ed sexual relations is before the
court the room is sure TO be crowded.
Day after day men and women will
endure the worst discomfort that heat
and foul air can give TO hear every
word of salacious testimony that can
be forced from the lips Of witnesses.
We have always been willing to dis
miss this phenomenon from the mind
with the contemptuous thought that 1t
comes from some hidden streak of
morbid curiosity which is apt 10 find
such strange hiding places. We are
beginning to believe that there are
other causes.
In some things only a thin veneer
covers up the savagery Of our fore
fathers. We like to see men take des-
perate chances. The circus draws a
crowd by advertising some death defy
| ing novelty. The Roman gladatoria

1T PLEAsEs THE SERVANTS
5erlin Police Arbitrarily Fix the Sums
They Shall Re Allowed for
Food.

Another instance of the way in
which the Berlin police authorities in
terest themselves in every detail Of
the private life of the city's inhabi-
taass is afforded by q decree just is-
sued by the police president which
arbitrarily fixes the sum per day
which is to be allowed for food to
domestic servants during their en-
ployers' absence in summer.
The term domestic servant In
cluces everything, from the maid of
all work of the small household to the
butler, with all his retinue of lesser
lights, In the house OF the rich, and
the decree lays down that each man
servant shall receive a daily allow
ance of 80 cents and each maid SER
want 80 cents for food during the
whole time Of their employers alb
Sence.
The new police regulation has been
greeted with more delight by the
servants than by their employers, es-
pec.ally among the middle classes.
where the domestic servant problem
in Germany is already acute enough.
Although the amount OF the daily al
lowance cannot be considered as ex.
cessive in relation to the present
prices of food, when it is remembered
that the ordinary wage, which in Ger
many is anything from $3.50 pc,
month upward for the average do0es
tic servant, has also to be paid dur
ing the employers absence, it will be
seen that the new regulation will
mean q considerable item in the
reckoning Of the middle-class family

came curious. After awhile one OF
them dropped into broken English ana
the crowd discovered the important
news the letter contained. 1t was

The two men were Austrians en-
ployed on the extra crew now at work
In the Madrid yards. They had just
been to the postoffice. and received the
letter. The faces OF the father and his
friend both shown and music sang
within their hearts. What cared they
now for the hard work on the railroad
and the binding sun and the hot
nights? The greatest miracle OF mod
ern days had happened-it was bog.
The half dozen or SO who had been
attracted by the actions of the two
men. were glad. too. A warm smile
fitted over their faces, and they felt
like walking up and grasping the ia
theirs hand and telling him that they
were rejoicing with him. that they
hoped the boy would grow up to be-
come q credit to his dad. and ask how
the mother was getting along. etc.
The heart Of humanity is the same
wherever you go. regardless OF the flag
which floats over your head or the COL
or Of the soil under your feet. The ex-
terlor may be different we may have

our environments. teachings. history

The world is better place because
this is SO. AT the best there is too

there are certain strains to which the

an evidence that there is an eternal
brotherhood OF man. one Father and
one God.
And SO it was Of interest to the hall
dozen or so Madrid men the other day
when the happy Austrian fathers eyes
danced with happiness and his heart
sang within him. They knew how he
felt and while the man was of an alien
race. unlettered, uncultured and I'M
known, with absolutely nothing in his
appearance to commend him, there
was something about the incident
which sweetened the hearts Of all who
witnessed it and started them on their

and hearts little lighter. Humanity
is very much alike under the skin.
