PINK TEAS AND POLITICS.

The Philadelphia Ledger has discovered that

politics hereafter. since no much OF the cam

femnized. For the female sex is taking hold
OF political things and. instead OF adapting her
self TO conditions Hanctlfcd by years of
ouline habit. is making politics adapt itself to
her methods and ways OF thinking. This may
IN tho long prove welcome innovation, yet
there are those who will miss the campaign jam

FITNESS TO LEAD

member OF the British parliament recently
dug up the old argument that some mon were
created to lead and others to follow In other
words that there is a dlvinely appointed com
mission to certain people to show the public
the way and others whose capacity fits them
only for following the leadership, Nobody over
nationally contradicted this fact except az 20 its
divine appointment. II is well known fact
that there must be leaders to lead and follow
ers TO follow; also that the rank and file OF
humanity always waits for some dominant In
telligence to point out their course OF conduct
and shape the initiative OF their ways OF think

native ability and strength of will In the lndi-

and the fact that ho made such an impression
on his time was not because OF his imperial
claims but because those claims were backed
up by unusual qualifications to rule and the
traditional subservence Of great nation OF
people to the idea OF imperialism. That he
did not lead wisely is matter of history, but
that he had strong place in the reverence
OF his people. and in the admiration OF men
generally, IL none the less true because he

AN INTRUDER IN THE SKIES

The meteor which appeared in this part of
the earth a few days ago chose an unfavorable
time to make its appearance Most of the peo-
pie were too much absorbed In national politics
to givo the siderial visitor more than passing
notice. within limited circle of awe struck OBJ
servers, the matter OF it's origin and fate have
had much thoughtful and some hysterical con-
sderation, but In tho sum total OF human af-
fairs the appearance OF a meteor was too com
monplace to affect the train OF thought OF the
average citizen.
outside OF tho remaining few who are sub
ject to unreasoning superstition and regard
with fear what they do not understand, II Is
even more strange that anybody should have
been excited, tho only excuse for unusual
element being the personal one-that an event
which had come to be regarded u matter of
course the world over should have happened
whore they actually saw It with their own eyes
and felt the thrill which always comes with
contact with the mghtlness OF nature outside
the ordinary mutations Of our own sphere.
The amusing feature OF the occasion Is the
attempt of more laymen to theorlze to what
sort of a thing 1t was that came, where II came
from ana whore It landed. All these things
have been tentatively settled In advance by the
scientists OF course. doctors may disagree. but
until their conclusions are proven false. they
are the best guides have. They know more
about 1t than tho common everyday citizen
And they teach us that fragments OF exploded
planets are travelling around wildcat" fashion
in and among the orbits OF the more sedate
planets Of our system. All except n very few
of the largest OF these sderal tramps are In
visible, except when they venture into an atmos-
phere, when the friction, OF the air creates a
heat that causes them to shine. The probable
why the landing place OF the meteor
seen here can not he located Ia that It burned
