fessed inability OF Scotland Yard to

lamentable failure Of the cat and

public face to face with the propo-
sition Of taking the law into its own
hands.
Since McKenna has refused to heed
the popular demand Of let them die
in prison." those who have watched
the growing ugliness of the crowds
in the public parks where the out

meetings are convinced that the time
is not far distant when the cry will
be taken UP of XIII them In the
past few weeks many of these meet
ings have been broken Up. and in
numerous instances the women have
narrowly escaped serious injury at
the hands of the disturbers.
OF great significance is the atti-
tude taken by police magistrates who
have been called upon to try the
,disturbers. In no case has severe
punishment been inflicted.
The recent tone OF the English
papers in handling suffragette news
also has served to fan the flames of
popular anger against the women
who burn churches, blow up coro-
nation chairs, and-what Is least
forgivaole from the British stand

IN HIGH COURT FAVOR.

Rasputin was the son of a fairly
wealthy peasant. He received little
or no education and until thirty
years old led an uneventful life. Then
he began to exhibit signs of a relig-
ious fervor and went on a pilgrimage
from convent to convent, becoming
one of the best-known lay monks.
When Theofan was introduced into
st. Petersburg in 1900 Rasputin soon
had his own apartments in the re-
ligious academy and seemed to have
some hypnotic power. and. though he
was imperfectly educated. his gift of
repartee and salon-like conversation
enabled him to keep a circle of ad-
mirers in the very highest families.
Latterly he abandoned the simple
life for luxury. dressed elegantly and
lived in a large house in Mayfair of
the capital, where his waiting rooms
were crowded with all sorts and con-

women to the society danes and from
generals to moujiks.

Learn to Write Well.

First legibility; second, sightliness,
should be the endeavor in handwriting
and let the character" and the "indi-
viduality" take care of themselves. If
you wish to devise a signature hard to
forge. that is another thing; but ones
everyday handwriting should be plain
and as good-looking as one can make
It. The art of writing q neat, legible,
well-punctuated, correctly expressed
and spelled letter should belong to
every high-school graduate, much
more to every college graduate; and
the thanks of the community are due
to those who are testing and trying to
improve our methods of education;
but they must remember that the let
ter-style is properly more loose and
conversational than any other, and
therefor should not be criticized in
just the same way.
