City fathers Of Madrid, Spain, have forbidden

grooming love songs to inaccessible young ladies on bal

1t Is unfortunate that the modern municipality can
not simultaneously lower its taxes and increase its
public improvements. To wish for much is no less
futile than the search for the fountain of eternal youth
It is criminal to take from bank that which you have
not previously deposited therein.
Many communities try to evade the issue but all

Such exremities are formidable to new industry bus-

A LADY OF ANOTHER AGE


An S1-year-old woman is dead in obscure retreat
near Copenhagen, and with her death went Of the
last links that this age with age that has
passed.
She is the one-time Dowager Empress Marie Of
Russia. mother Of the late Gear Nicholas and widow
of Alexander Ill. She outlved the into which she
was born and her last years have been empty and
desolate.
The Russia of Maries day must have seemed to her
circle, a fine place.
The car was the little father" of his people. He
ruled by divine right and he held unlimited authority.
He and his family lived amid all the pomp and cere-
mony that nation of uncounted millions Of industrious
people furnish. Life in the imperial palace at
Petrograd must have been very pleasant and inspiring
To be sure, those in the palace occasionally caught
the sound of murmurs of discomfort flterng up from
below. There shocking abuses in the land. But
Nicholas amable and good natured realized his respon
sbilities itte father These abuses could not be
remedied overnight Slowly step by step, they would
be made right, the Russian people would be happy,
and all would be we'll.
But people have way of becoming impatient with
slow reforms. They got impatient in Russia. Then
there came the war, and million Of peasants,
poorly equipped, betrayed by schemers in high places
and sacrificed by bungling officiadom, killed by
the methodical efficient Germans and Austrians And
at last there a vast explosion and unmanageable
forces came yelling and boiling up from the dark
places below; the and czarna lost their lives and
the Dowager Empress Marie fled to Copenhagen to live
another decade in lonely, amazed obscurity.
We often hear that it is tragedy to be born before
ones tme Probably it is. But it is infinitely worse
TO be born too late for ones time
Marie was part Of a medieval system in day when
that system had to go the scrap heap. she could
have lived century earlier, her last days would have
been made easy and pleasant empire could
make them. There would have been court physicians,
formal populations of court ladies, messages Of COM
tort from kings and princes, paatial sick in
great palace Instead there is the loneliness of exile
who has seen all that familiar and dear ground
to bits.
It is tragic to be out Of date To be fixed and
changing in world that is eternaly changing and de-
veopng is to court disaster. The twentieth century
is cruel place for all who try to live by the stand
Srds and watchwords Of the nineteenth.
