Ratold For Choir Singers.

One of the wealthy members Of q
fashionable church in Boston approach
ed her pastor with the complaint that
she was greatly disturbed by one of her
neighbors.
'Its positively unbeatable" said she.
'aThat man in the pew In front of us
destroys all my devotional and pious
feelings when he attempts to sing.
Couldn't you ask him to change his
pew?'
The good pastor was sorely perplexed.
After few moments reflection he
said:
"Well, naturally would feel little
delicacy on that score, more especially
as would have to give a reason. But
will tell you what might do" Here
the pastors face became illuminated
with happy thought II might ask
him to join the choir. - Harper's Mag

BRINGING Up CHILDREN.
There Are Some Curious Customs In
This Queer World.

There Are Some Curious Customs In
This Queer World.
There has been much discussion over
the proper bringing up OF children, but
ideas continue to differ. And the far
ther you get away from home the
stranger the ideas seem.
The Filipino father cries out with
proud delight as his three-year-old girl
baby takes her puff at her first cigar.
Among the Seri Indians Of the gulf
of California the father Is the last one
expected to have any influence on the
children. The mother rules the young
er members Of the family, and when
she must enforce her authority by
physical force she calls, not on the ia
ther, but on one of her brothers or
some other male adult of her family.
The father must never chastise his chill
dren.
A Navajo father administers punish
ment to his children very much as any
other father does, but the Navajo boy
has a means of protection denied to
white boys. He has only to catch a
rat by his own unaided efforts. From
the moment he has accomplished this
feat, no matter how young he may ba
his father may not lay hands On hi1n.
The ohilipeM o1 the PuAn4 BaSuOw
Eskimos have special training in po-
liteness to foreigners. In converslng
with strangers who make mistakes In
the native dialect children must care
fully note those mistakes and repeat
them, even to initiating the wrong pro-
nunciation of words. To speak correct

Pools Mistaken Zeal.


In an ecstasy OF official energy, the newly
installed secretary OF state, aided and abetted
by the equally newly-installed, and therefore
also excessively Jealous, attorney general OF the
state OF Nebraska, has been whooping It up in
the interests Of reform and economy ever since
he took HIS office. His last broadside was di-
rected against the farmers mutual insurance
companies Of the state when he declared about
seventy insurance companies we're doing business
without being Incorporated, and we're therefore
working in defiance OF law, and liable to prose
cutlon."
II Mr. Pool or Mr.. Reed had troubled them
selves 10 inquire little further. they would have
discovered that the farmers mutual insurance
companies, organized under the law Of Nebraska,
are not liable to prosecution because they fail
to incorporate as regular stock companies These
organizations being purely mutual. and not OPP
Grated for profit in any OF the word, with
limited territory and limited liabilities, are not
subject to the provisions OF the general insur-
ance law. They all make reports on business
done and their transactions are always open to
proper inquiry. Their service is undisputed,
and their right to operate has never been
seriously challenged.
Secretary Pool may be able to find plenty of
places for the application of his capacity as a
reformer. but he should be warned in advance
that proceedings against the farmers mutual in
surance companies may render him liable to sus-
,pieion Of being concerned in the welfare Of the
old line companies that are already so well
trenched in the state house.

The President and the Partisans.

A complaint is heard from Washington that
the presidents shipping bill has been defeated
through partisan activity II is insinuated that
the failure of this measure to go through the
senate as smoothly as IL did through the house
is to be charged to the active opposition of the
republicans In the senate to the program laid
down by Mr.. Wilson and his advisers.
Let us examine the facts little more closely.
IL will be admitted that partisanship did enter
to a very large extent into the consideration of
the shipping bill. At the very outset 1t was in
troduced a partisan measure; the partisan
support Of the president so thoroughly de-
veloped that he positively refused to permit even
the consideration OF amendment to his pet
project. II was made party measure by the
democratic caucus, which organization adopted
the presidents suggestion and positively declined
to allow any change to be made in the bill for
any purpose whatever. This record ought to
fairly establish the partisan nature of the ship
ping bill.
When 1t finally failed in the senate, it was
because seven democrats broke away from the
party organization, and refused to give their
votes to the measure. The most severe criti-
clsms of the administrator course in this con"
nection uttered on the floor OF the senate. dur
ing the prolonged debate on this bill, we're ut
tered by democrats. II the shipping bill was de-
feated by reason of partisan activity, that ac-
tivity must be plainly charged to the democrats
themselves, and the president must take his full
share OF the responsibility.

Anarchy in Mexico at HIGH Tide,

Carranza's demand TO the nations that he be
recognized as the one supreme head in Mexican
affairs marks the swelling tide OF anarchy in
that unhappy country, and will serve to bring
conditions little more clearly before the world
The announcement from Mexico that the minis
ters Of such countries as are stll represented
there have been given instruction by their home
governments TO be guided by their own judy
ment. means that very shortly Mexico will be
without official standing anywhere The Span
ish note, reported from London. which asks
that the powers take some action to estab-
lish responsible government in Mexico, was
anticipated. This matter win sooner OF later be
brought to the attention OF the United States.
and the policy Of ''watchful waiting will then
be subjected 10 a very severe strain. Prevailing
conditions in Mexico cannot be tolerated much
longer by the civilized world. The day is coming
closer when some well-established government
will be forced 10 assist the Mexicans in working
out their destiny.
