THE TARIFF ON HATS.

Fall hats coming into style now have all the earmarks of the military The campaign slouch is the thing, so haberdashers tell us. For the young man it is the chapeau of the cavaI- ry soldier that attracts. Older men adorn their placid brows with felt trimmings that distinguish the colonels and generals in the heavy artillery, or the light infantry, which ever becomes their particular bear ing. For the tall, athletic, striking character, it is the wide brim. For the short, pudgy comfortable and opulent form, the shoulders must be shadowed by a very brief re- semblance of the hat worn in the ambulance corps. To purchase any one of the aforementioned styles re- five dollars,-never more, never less. That is the original cost. Then comes the tariff, the fee that is paid at hotels and restaurants and other places for
  checking such bonnets. In some places this varies, anywhere from a dime to. half dollar. Twenty-Five cents it the usual tariff.
 Before the season is over the hat that costs two dollars, or four dol lars, or whatever it is, will, if the wearer be a frequenter of cafes and other places of that kind, cost some where near twice it's original price, A manager of a hotel in New York has made the statement that a man of his acquaintance paid, in the course of five months, eight dollars in tips for a hat that cost him four dollars. That is due to the high protective tariff on hats. It is presumed that if there were no "protection" on hats the diner in a large city restaurant might have to walk home bare-headed after the meal. So anxious are the hat checkers to prevent this calamity that they go to the managers of hotels and enter competitive bidding for the privilege of aiding the diners Boys and girls are stationed at the en- frances of eating emporiums and other places and told to relieve guests of their hats. No one yet has ever successfully run the gauntlet Life itself is at stake when the process of collection takes place. A nickel mad
 
 a stab in the heart for the offender. No fee at all is punishable by in stant death It is the tariff on hats, that might be removed someday when different parties get in the hotel business. The best that can be said for it is, it is not a democratic busi- ness.

Get The Arabs.
(New London Day)

Thirty Boy Scouts, parading in New York, endeavored to coerce Q street boy into saluting the flag. Seat" re- his gang. The gang chased the Scouts into an apartment house, from which they were rescued by the police and escorted to their respective homes to save them from being beaten up.
 One might draw from this an inter- national object lesson concerning attempts to coerce rowdy, ragged na- tions, when you haven't the goods. But a moro immediate and useful thought suggested by the incident is that somebody miscued when they didn't have tho street boys in the Boy Scouts.
 The juvenile gangster is precisely the chap who needs to be reached bv such organizations. If you mobilize responsibility you just mobilize re- spectabiilty and perhaps increase it's efficiency by 25 per cent. But if you convert gangdom into respectabilitv you have done a vastly bigger thing and multiplied the efficiency of re- spectability instead of increasing it by a fraction.
 The movement for the making of better citizens out of the boys of the country through the various outdoor organizations looking to that end is the most of, it must get the kind of boys who chased those New York Scouts off the streets

When Boys Spoke Pieces.

(Philip Hale in the Boston Herald.)
 Tn our own day the favorite pieces for spouting on the platform were "Spartacus to the Gladiators,' "Cata- lines Def1ance," '"The Seminole's De- fance" beginning with "Blaze with your serried columns,'D speeches from "Julius Caesar "The One Floss Shay" and other poems of Holmes. There was a boy at Phillips Exeter who could speak pages from Southey's epic poems. He came from Portsmouth, N. H. Soon after the civil war a boy in the high school at Northampton recited Lincoln's Gettysburg address. The teacher had shown gallantry as a colonel in the Union army. Deeply impressed, he asked the boy the name of the au- thor.
 The old reading books were worth saving. Is the long-winded compari- son between tact and talent now to be found, or any moral lesson by Jane Taylor? Is Peter Pindar now among the schoolboy's poets? What torture it was to speak especially if parents were invited to be present! Ones schoolmates were far from being sympatheti They g1eeful1y anticipated Willie's breaking down. They snickered at a gross mispro- nunciatio1l. Good old days! Madam, ask your son to read a newspaper to you, and see how unintelligently and unintelligibly he goes through the task

Ruins 0f Roman Temples in Famous Austrian Town

Washington, D. C., Sept. 26.-Pa- renzo, on the Istrian coast of Austria, which according to the latest de- spatches was shelled by Italian naval forces, Is the subject of today's war geography bulletin issued by the Ma tional Geographic society from Wash ington:
 The ancient basilica of Parenzo, which Austria claims has been dam aged by Italian shellfire from fleet off the west coast of the Istrian pen insula, is one of the oldest and most famous ecclesiastical structures in Eu- rope. The campanile, the roofless bapt1stry and church proper date from the sixth century and stand on the site of an even earlier structure, prob ably of the third or fourth century, judging from the mosaic pavements and inscriptions which have been un- covered. The cathedral now stand ing was begun about eleven years after the establishment of the Parenzo bish- hopric in 524. Some of the mosaic work in this building, which Is dedi- cated to St. Maurus is especially bril- liant. and in the apse walls there is rich inlay work in marble and mother Of pearl, similar to that in the more widely known cathedral of Torcello, near Venice.
 Parenzo enjoyed a considerable trade before the outbreak of the war and the principal occupations of it's 17,500 inhabitants, mainly Italians, were shipbuilding and fishing. The port is thirty-fiv knots by sea south of Trieste and thirty five miles distant by rail. It is ten miles north of the interesting town of Rovigno, the Ru-

(Anne Porter Johnson, in St. Louis
 Globe-Democrat). It isn't long since barefoot days
 a-dancing down the lane That treads it's beaten way among
 the rows of swishing grain; I'll hurry, hurry, to he great, wide,
 stretching road, For father will be coming with a
 heaping two-horse load Today I'm playing make-believe-
 a-climbing up he wheel Till fathers hand can reach me, and
 I give a little squeal Because he swings me high upon the
 big, fat jumpy sacks I'm above the horses-I can see their
 shining backs! Just thinking of it brings a smile
 a-bouncing on the seat, While father chuckles low, and then,
 to make my joy complete, lie slips the long, brown thrilling
 lines into my coaxing hands, Just as Pm wishing he would do-
 he always understands!
 in the road To hear the jolly music of that creak-
 ing two-horse load; A child again! Again-for just a
 wee half hour or so. Just time to ride with father through
