Women are natural educators, espe-

US Russian women have been drawn
into revolution through efforts to break
down that ignorance which units the
large mass of our people for free gov

Had II Concealed.

AS a reward for good behavior
Johnny was allowed to come to the
dinner table when company was ex-
pucted. He wanted to appear big. too.
so he chose a low chair which brought
his mouth just to the top of the table.
But he didn't mind this because it was
on a line with his plate and he was
not so likely to drop anything while
eating. He ate ravenously OF every
thing. having nothing TO say to the
guests. as his mother had told him to
remember that good children are seen.

when there was a lull in the CONVEX
sation. he exclaimed:

got under the table,"

STOMACH HAS LONG MEMORY

Other Things Which Some People
Consider Of Moment.

It's the full dinner plate and the glad

Steiner.

three squares day are furnished and
the assimilation problem is nine-tenths

But it isn't all a matter of appetite

tenth Of the solution lies in Americas

Ancient Spanish Lighthouse.

At La Coruna, in northern Spain.
may be seen a fire tower, which is.
with the exception of the ruins OF
the Roman lighthouse at Dover, the
oldest Of all existing structures of the
kind
The exact date of the erection OF
this tower is unknown. According to
an ancient tradition it is accredited
to Hercules. whence its name Tore
de Hercules. Others say that Phoe.
nicians. who had established several
colonies "a Spain, had erected this
light tower for their northland cruises.
However. judging from the inscrip-
ton, it is more probable that the Ro-
man Emperor Trajan erected this
structure. The inscription also men
tons the name Of Servius Supus Of
Lusitania as the architect. The tower
is built Of ashlars and is 20 feet
square and 100 feet in height. It has
six separate stories, which can only
be reached by a circular staircase
around the exterior OF the tower. The
lighthouse vas restored IN 1854. but at
the end OF the eighteenth century was
again in ruins. In 1897 it was rebuilt
By the Spanish government.

Necessary Hours Of Sleep.

John Wesley. the founder of Meth
odism. who attained the age of eighty
eight and who could command sleep
on horseback, says. in some curious
remarks which he has left upon sleep,
that no one measure will do for all,
nor will the same amouat OF sleep
even suffice for the same person at
all times. More sleep ie necessary

be the case with some few persons

that health and vigor can scarcely be

stock and they are expecting their
dividends, and tiev maintain that If
an advance rate is necessary TO en-

the increase should be allowed be-

the many.

decision in this case. The shippers
who do not want to pay advance
freight rates have been sending in
their protests with their reasons for
opposing the increase which If granted
of course they viii have to lay. The

civil Pensions up Apaln.

SCueluS 70 create Il civil pelAhiOn list
Ever since the foundation of the
government there has been objection
to pensions for civilians. II has been
hard work even to secure the passage
of legislation giving the widows OF
army officers of high service. PEN
sions sufficient for their support. or
course army officers widows have a
pension which is fixed by law, but
whenever it has been attempted to
increase the pension largely, strong
opposition has been shown by the
lawmakers. There are few civil pen
sioners Of the government today and
virtually none outside of those who
have had some connection direct or
indirect with the armed services Of
the country
In Continental Europe and in Eng
land they have set the example OF
pensioning aged government workers,
and the pillars of state of the coun-
tries which have shown generosity
have not been shaken from their foun-
dations by the government act.
Official Washington is beginning to
look with different eyes upon this
situation. Always there has been sym
pathy for the aged who had to stay
at their work in order 10 live, but
always the thought that a civil pen
sion system was utterly wrong has
moved the majority of the lawmakers
to withhold the vote necessary to rem
edy condition which certainly seems
10 appeal for remedy.
Talk of Old Age Pensions.
Not only are congressman looking
more kindly on proposals to pensions
for government employees, but they
are occasionally talking of pensioning
all worthy men and women who have
served the state by leading decent
lives and who in their old age must
face either penury in the cities or
towns or the poor house with its self
respect killing conditions.
It may be that the bill which Mr..
Reilly of Connecticut has just intro
duced into the house, will not pass
and that no commission to study the
pension question win be appointed.
but If such a bill shall fail this year.
it will pass next year or the year
after. The time OF old age pensions
for government clerks is coming and
coming quickly Just beyond the day
of its coming there probably is the
other day Of pensions for aged Ameri-
cans who have done their duty by
the republic in whatever walk Of life.

Hardest Fight in South.

devoted to the suffrage cause have
realized for a great many years that
their hardest fight is to be made in
the South. Most of the southern
members in congress are opposed to
woman suffrage. At the suffrage head
quarters in this city a plan has been
made to invade the South in behalf
of the cause Of suffrage. A commit
tee composed of noted women. good
speakers all of them and represent

cause, soon will make a trip through
the South in a private car and will
speak in many of the larger cities and
probably in scores of the smaller
places which lie between.
