Rubin Had Cold Feet.

The term "cold feetp is generally
used merely as figure of speech, but
the late Gus Rubin actually had an
attack of chilled pedal extremitics the
night that he boxed Jcffries in San
Francisco, @. IA. ~
During the ride to the pavilion Rrh.
lin continually complained of his feet
being cold. His trainers finally made
an investigation, and sure enough Ruh-
lin fippers felt like they had heen
stored in an ice box for couple of
weeks. This peculiar physical phenOme-
non was probably due 70 nervousness,
the result of dread rather than Of fear.

PANORAMA OF THE CAPITAL
Described az Scene Grander Than
That From the Heights Of
Olympus

On an auturan twilight I stood on
the terrace Of the capitol outside the
marble room. utilized during the sum
mer by senators who desired smoke
and breath of outside air during a
session. The wicker rockers suggest
ed the veranda OF a popular summer
resort. The executive sessions of the
senate were adjourning late. and in
side the senate chamber the air was
blue with tobacco smoke as appoint
ment reflections and observations
were made. The historic terrace of
the parliament houses at Westminster
was suggested. except that the tea
tables and tall hats we're absent and
there was no distant rumble of Lon
don traffic In this medltative mood
that thrilled me ns never before with
a realization of the beauty and gran
deur OF the national capitol.
A purple haze and pink aftergiow
gilded the western sky. on to the left
on the skyline lowered the Washing
ton monument. awaiting the first rays
of the searchlight. Silhouetted on the
horizon nearby was the mosque-like
dome of the new National museum.
The tower of the Postoffice building
loomed up in the center like an old
castle. In the distance. toward Arling-
ton. electric cars far away were
threading In and out among the SOM
ber gloom OF the woodland. and the
twinkling lights seemed like tiny
jack-o,lanterns or sprites at play. On
the right were the sparkling and
CHASTITY green lights of the government
printing office, and the white shadows
of the new postoffice clinging to the
classic outlines of the Grecian Termf-
nal station. were contrast of Internal
and celestial color.
In the foreground Pennsylvania ave-
nue., fringed. with foliage. the scene OF
many inaugural parades, military and
naval splendor. narrowed toward the
treasury The pedestal of the new
Grant monument nestled in the leafy
botanical garden below. This to me
was a scene grander. than that de-
scribed from the heights OF Olympus.
How ! longed for the genius OF the
artist to put on canvas this inspiring
scene. Alone. as one of the ninety
million Americans. a citizen of the Re.
public, stood looking upon the beau.
tiful capi;s.. grounds with all the pride
and enthusiasm of ownership-Joe

GERMAN LAuDs. THE CAPITAL
Says. Washington Is Making Great
Strides but Berlin is Best
Governed City.

Washington is making greater
strides toward becoming the most
beautiful city In the world than any
European city, save Berlin" observed
Herr Heinrich Wohlfarth of Berlin
Grunewald. Germany. the other day.
THE new lighting arrangement of
your principal thoroughfare is mag
nificent. and might we'll be copied by
other cities OF the United States and
by many in Europe.
But Berlin Is the cieanest and best
lighted and best managed city in the
world. as It is also the liveliest and
most liberal In the matter OF personal
liberty. In Paris 1t is only the tourists
and the Parisian smart set that amuse
themselves. while the great bourgeois
class Is thrifty and home-loving. This
is not the case in Berlin. however.
The Berliner. of whatever class. is a
sociable person who likes to meet
his friends. He likes to take his prin-
cipal meal with his family at res
taurant or garden on Sundays as well
as week days. This accounts for the
large number OF low-priced eating
houses and gardens"

Mack. Colo.-The annual sheep
shearing bee for western Colorado
started last week, and before the sea-
son ends 10000 sheep will be shorn
in this vicinity. while at Cisco 100000
additional sheep will go through a sim
liar experience.
The wool crop this year promises to
be larger and better than ever. The
past winter has been unusually severe
and as result the sheep have a
heavier coat of wool than ordinarily.
Most of this years crop of wool has
ben sold at prices ranging from ] to
2 cents per pound higher than year
ago, and previous years. About 100
men are employed in the sheep camps
and the shearing viii continue for two
or three weeks. Large numbers of
Boston wool buyers are gathered here
and are bidding for the surplus wool.

Denver.-Due to the appeal of Miss
charlotte Abernathy, teacher of
Arapahoe, Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford.
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion, viii send out letters to the vari-
Gus school boards of the state urging
an increase in the salaries of first
grade teachers in the rural districts
OF Colorado as the first move in
campaign towards that end to be
waged for the next school election in
May.
In a letter to Mrs. Bradford, Miss
Abernathy says that eighth-grade
graduates. given third-grade teachers
certificates in the teachers examina-
tions, teach in the rural district at
the same salaries received by first
grade teachers with normal training,
and from six to twenty years expert
ence. and that as result, first-class
teachers are leaving the rural schools
and their positions are filled by mex
perienced young girls.
In the country districts, she writes,
the services of experienced and come
tent instructors are more badly need
ed than In any other sections of the
state.
The firstgrade teachers In rural
districts. Miss Abernathy states. are
so underpaid that they become dis
couraged and leave. The third grade
teachers salaries were raised: why.
she argues, cannot justice be done to
