StaHingS and
Haught0n Rile
Squire Ebbets
Latter Resents Attempts to Get
His Goat by New
Subterfuge.

Philadelphia, Sept. 9.-Charles Eb-
bets is somewhat annoyed over the
steps which Percy Haughton and George
Stallings have taken TO get his nanny,
Angora or goat. 1t has Just come TO
the ears Of the Squire of Flatbush that
the management of the Braves is al
ready advertising reservations for the
worlds series on the assumption that
the Braves have a cinch on the National
League pennant.
This procedure is somewhat prema-
ture." said the Squire Of Flatbush. 81
have made some tentative plans for a
part of the worlds series at that
stately stadium known as Ebbets Field.
But delicacy forbids me to make any
open avowal Of such plans for the
present. Moreover, TO assume that a
pennant IL won is the worst form OF
the baseball jin1, and it is my earnest
endeavor to avoid any dealings with a
ink at this particular moment.
"Still, il Mr.. Stallings and Mr..
Haughton insist upon doing this indeli-
cate thing | should think that they
ought to wait until the Robins are
bumped out Of first place. And let me
tell you that if they start to wait for
that they are liable to have whiskers
down to their heels. not to mention the
years that will be piled upon their
shoulders in the interim. They say
that he who laughs last laughs best.
By the end of this season you will OBJ
serve BY the tone of my laughter that
this axiom is meant for me. In the
mean time wish you would warn Mr..
Haughton and Mr.. Stallings that my
goat is as safe as though it was in
church. despite their frienzied efforts
60 make it slip It's tether.'

HISTORY AS 1T IS TAUGHT.
n Plea For Really Neutral Tsxtbooks
In Every Country.

History in every country is SO taught
Fas to magnify that country. Children
learn to believe that their own country
has been always In the right and al
most always victorious, that 1t has pro-
Educed almost all the great men and
that It is in all respects superior to
all other countries. Since these be-
ljefs are dattering they are easily alb
sorbed and hardly ever dislodged from
instinct BY later knowledge:
TO take I simple and almost trivial
example: The facts about the battle of
Waterloo are known in great detail
and; with minute accuracy, but the
facts as taught in elementary schools
Will be widely different in England,
France and Germany. The ordinary
English boy imagines that the Prus-
slams played hardly any part; the ordi-
nary German boy imagines that Wei
hngton was practically defeated when
the day was retrieved by Bluchers gal
lantry. If the facts were taught &C.
curately In both countries national
pride would not be fostered to the
same extent, neither nation would feel
20 certain Of victory in the event of

an international commission which
should produce neutral textbooks free
from the patriotic bias which IL now
demanded Bertrand Rus
sell in Atlantic Monthly.
