AN IN INTERESTED WOMAN,
Mrs f'lubb. who lives next door.
Meier was so distraught before.
Twill be a relief to her
When the White House wedding stir
Has abated and the pair,
Blushing groom and bride SO fair.
Have gone forth as man and wife,
Thus to stay, we trust, through life.
Mrs Flubb the papers reads,
Household duties scarcely heeds:
quite forgot that she was bid
Out to lunch with Mrs Gidd.
Has of late fretful way
And has oft been heard to say
That she fears the dreadful strain
Shortly will drive her insane.
Mrs. Flubb's a relative?
Near the Wilson's used to live?

constantly assuming that these evils are

are not being got rid of at all; and the
reason of that, 1t seems to me. is that we
are not capable of getting rid of them.
We are ugly; we have narrow minds;
and we have bad manners. A great deal
of that is due to the effect of being
brought up in q society of inequality. 1
know perfectly we'll what happened to
myself. can remember one of my ear
liest experiences In life was my father
finding me playing with a certain little
boy in the street, and telling me I was
not to play with that little boy, giving
me to understand that he was a very In
ferior and Objectionable kind of little boy.
| had not found him so. l asked my
father 'why?' He said: '.His father
keeps shop" said to my father: 'Well.
but you keep millp Therefore my
father pointed out to me that he sold
things wholesale, and that this little boys
father sold things retail; and that, con-
sequently, there was between me and that
boy a gulf which could never be re-
specially bridged.
When you are brought up, as you in
evitably are in a society like ours. with
that sort of blasphemy being continually
dinned into your ears; when you are
taught to be unsocial at every point, and
brought up to be unsocial, then any little
chance that your natural endowments at
your birth may have left you of being
able to grapple with the enormous prob
lens of our modern civiiization-prob-
lens that demand from you the largest
scope of mind. the most unhestating
magnanimity, the most sacred recogni-
tion of your spiritual and human equal
ity with every persons in the nation--is
utterly destroyed. That is why l doubt
whether these problems can be solved by
us, brought up in that way. To solve
them, you need a new sort of human
being.

President Wilson, announced last Friday,

orally accepted in Washington as
marking the end of the yearly hand
shaking which custom has for more
than a hundred years forced upon the
chief executive. At the first New Years
ever spent in the White House by
President Thomas Jefferson there was
a general public reception. History
records no break in the chain from
that day to this. Even on the New
Years days following the deaths of
Garfield and Mckinley the customary
receptions were held by President Ar
thur In 1882 and by President Roose-
welt 20 years later. Within the past 20
or 30 years the White House New
Years receptions have been growing
more and more formal, and insofar
as the public was concerned less and
less interesting. The expansion of Con-
gress and OF the army and navy, the
marine corps and the diplomatic group
have taken the time previously de-
voted to the general public, and from
year to year there have been fewer

These child-cherubs should not be
confused with the biblical cherubim,
although they are the outgrowth of
the cherub idea. Strictly speaking,
the seraphim and cherubim are the
two orders of angels placed in pic
lures nearest the figure of the Diety.
In the earlier Italian paintings they
are seen merely as faces or heads
surrounded with six wings, either
red or blue in color The wings of
the seraphim are red, because the
seraphim are the angles of love, and
stand nearest the figure of God, The
wings of the cherubim were blue, the
cherubin being the angles of know
ledge, and they are placed next the
seraphim. But as early as the time
of Fra Bartolommeo we find that
there had crept in a perversion of
this idea, we find cherubs as little
winged babies, used in the pictures
of the Madonna to help out the COM
position. -. ~.~=@ 49, 800

WANT LARGE SUMLFR0 TUNlS
Sons Of Gen. Ben Alad Are Suing
Small Country for tho Recovery
+ Of $73,o0o,000. =.

A case has begun before the civil
tribunal of Tunis which the sons Of
the late Gen. Ben Aiad Cor Ayed) are
suing the defendant, the government
Of the regency, for fantastic sum Of
money something like $73,000,000.
: The claim has been heard Of at
intervals for the last half century, is
briefly as follows: -
In 1856 Emperor Napoleon III. was
asked to arbitrate between the hey
of Tunis and his favorite, Gen. Nah
mud Ben Alad. The hey accused the
general Of robbing the public treas
ury. . Il.
Napoleon III. consented to be UNI
pire and sentenced Gen. Ben Aiad to
refund to the Tunisian government
the sum of half million sterling.
AS for the final settlement of accounts
between the general and the govern
ment, that was a matter which the
arbitrator left to the Tunis courts to
decide.
The general retired to CONSTANT
5nople without calling for settlement
of accounts and nothing was heard of
the affair until 1886, when one of his
sons sued the Tunis government be-
fore the Seine tribunal for one and q
half million sterling.
The case was next heard Of four
years ago, when the claim had risen
to O.000, 900. Now it Is $4,000, 900

various schools o fthe state and be-
lieve that the aid given in the past
has largely been the means of making
the Minnesota school system superior
to that of any other state, but the
state aid should never be made so
large as to overstimulate the schools.
The present legislature has increased
the state aid in many instances from
rs to 40 per cent and if the present
rate of increase shall continue year
after year, it must necessarily result
in a tremendous increase of state
taxes. The total state tax revenue
for the year 1913 will be $40 mills
as compared with 3.58 mills, for
1912, an increase of 1852 mills or As
per cent. The levy this year will
produce $7,O2O,OO0; whereas the
levy last year produced only about
$4,S00,00O In addition thereto the
state income through the Increased
tax on railroads and other corpora
tons has been largely increased and
it seems to me that the present in
reaseS in the state tax levy is not
justified.'
