THE DEVIL THAT BECAME TAME.

The Police Gazette, regarded by many as unfit for perusa by the respectable, and probably the original pink sheet of this country, has ceased to exist, recently ending 85 years less of existence as a weekly journal by the filing of petition of involuntary bankruptcy There was little startling about the periodical in recent years when other and more lurid weekles and dailes started publication and scantiy clad females, once almost exclusively featured by the Gazette, adorned the pages of even the more sedate newspapers and magazines

It began publication in 1S45 as a weekly and until early in February 1t never failed to issue regularly Under the direction of Richard Fox, beginning in 1876, it reached it's heydsy One of it's mythical writers exploded the underworld, and the magazine was prideful that it could always find bigger and more sensational sins than the crusading divines of that time It was the arbiter of all disputes on sporting subjects It was most frequently to be found in barber shops and pool halls where each week the sportively inclined awaited it's distribution with ayidity.
 Then came new era, different and more sophisticated public, Its sporting was old stuff when 1t reached the stands The woman in tights it's front cover page wore too many garments for the educated readers The sins it held up to view were pinkish in hue and lacked the vivid brliance of those clothed in yermilion by its more progressive contemporaries.

Current Events at Rake.
CKetchikan Chroniclel

 Whats going on in the world doesn't puzzle the pupils of the Rake school much as it does students at the University of Washington So, at least we assume from the information contained in the current bulletin of the Office of Indian Af fairs in Alaska which states that list of ten questions prepared by the University of Washington Daily did not stump the youngsters of Rake nearly as much as it did 90 students in the Seattle insti- tuition of so-callad higher learning. The questions were:
 Who are Grand and Gandhi?
 Who is the outstanding Democratic can- didate for President?
 Who is the Vice-President of the United States?
 When is the next Presidential election?
 Who is Prime Minister of England?
 Who Is Pierre Laval?
 Who is the political leader of Russia?
 Where is Manchuria?
 Who is Mayor of Seattle?
 Who is Mayor of Chicago? The 90 students at the university who took the test flunked-every one of thenl-with average of AS per cent But at Rake, according to Principal Edward L. Keithahn the eighth grade students aver aged 33 ranging from 10 to 60; the ninth grade averaged 40 and the tenth grade averaged 70 per cent Twenty-Five per cent of the students taking the test passed it. The highest grade was 80 per were answered incorrectly.
 As MT. Keithahn pointed out, the university students had a handicap not only in being better educated but in the fact that they were asked the identity of the Mayor of their own city

BUILD A FOUNDATION, TOO.

There was sign in savings bank window the other day which said: If you dream castles Tn the air save and put a foundation under them
 Once there was a young who had always dreamed of being wealthy. AS boy he pictured himself dressed in the height of fashion, snappy cut to his clothes and all that, walking down Main Street People on the sidewalk would point him out, saying. "Yes, there's Sam Green, young fellow put smart Yes sir, smart Owns that big house on the hill, and has a good pile salted down already. Must be worth $lO0000F
 So Sam, as an initial step toward wealth saved, and after time reached his first goal, the SlOOO goal after which, 'tis said the money just grows.
 But about this time Sam got a girl and then he wanted to makea splurgs. He wasn't going to take her into any little two by four house. he was going to have that house on the hill. So Sam began looking around for ways to help that $1oOo grow. and like many thrifty, but too impatient young man, bought wildcat stock And the $10OO was gone and with it Sam's dream of the house on the hill and all the rest.
 To return to the ad in the bank window If you dream castles in the air and put founda- tion under them" But be sure the foundation is solid

Comfort for Cold -Catchers.
Manchester Guardian0

About once a year enthusiastic messages from the other side of the Atlantic inform the world that an American millionaire has left a vast fortune which is to be applied to the investigation o the cause and cure of the common cold. The nforma- ton is always announced news, but experienced observers note with sigh that it is the same millionaire, the fortune-and the same cold In the meantime presumably the same research continues-and with the results, for on this subject the medical profession offers no hope of prompt relief and very little evidence of actual progress. An untreated cold says the cynic lasts fourteen days; treated cold can be cured in fort lnight"-and the situation described is not far short of the truth. However fresh aspects of an ancient trouble presented from time to time and there seems to be some small measure of com fort in observation just made by Sir St. Clair Thomson to of the sections of the Royal Society of Medicine The cold" he said was of the penalties paid for civilization and might be device of nature to vaccinate us against more serious evils" Two forms of soace are thus opened up to the sufferer He gaze upon the civilization
 that surrounds us and reflect that there is rose without a thorn and that catarrh three times a year may be the price of commercial supremacy, 1 or he regard his cold as kind of personal
 insurance policy against eprosy the Black Death.
 Neither reflection will make any difference to the
 quality of the cold or in any way hasten its de- parture.

Kidnapping.
Cincinnati Enquirer )

Kidnapping has become of the most ominous crimes the list of modern raeketeering The aura of picturesque, though evil, colorful romance may surround the Albanian Greek Balkan and other bandits of desert and mountain terrain and fast ness who immemorally have held prisoners to ran som. But there is nothing romantic attractive or picturesque in this form of outlawry as practiced in American cities. As matter of fact, in our cities it has become recognized to be cod-blooded busi- ness activity with murder callously designed in case the demanded ransom is refused or for any reason cannot be turned to the criminals the victim will be killed in order to facilitate escape or as a measure adopted by the outlaws in the eff fort to avoid discovery This being true, the crime should rank with the crime of murder-be made capital offense.
 The Kidnapping of the infant son of Colonel and
 Mrs Lindbergh gives striking evidence of the urgent need of a Federal statute covering this savage and most heinous offense-an offense which strikes with heartless diabolism at the hearts and souls of the innocent connections of it's victims.
 movement to secure the early enactment by Congress of such law is under way Kidnap- ing should be made Federal offense and punished as capital crime This penalty particularly should be exacted in the of kidnappers of children. It is impossible adequately to describe in mere words the dreadful anxiety and sorrow which must grow cut of such fiendish depredations,
