That a peace meeting should break up in a row sounds like a joke, but sometimes truth is stronger than fic- Such a thing really happened in New York the other day. Under tion, the auspices of the Citi- National Committee a mass meeting of citizens was held at Car- negie Hall the other night to support zens’ ratification of with Great the the arbitration treaties Britain and France, It seems that the ratification of these treaties which are supposed to operate in the interests of universal peace, does not meet with favor on the part of the German-Americans of New York who are of the opinion that the which this arbitration movement in country, Great Britain and France are concerned is really aimed at Germany. Joseph H. Choate presided at the meeting and addresses were to be de- livered by Col. Henry Watterson, President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University, Andrew Carne- gie and Rabbi Stephen S. Wise. The meeting had not progressed far when Alphonse G. Koelble, presi- dent of the German-American Citi- League, upon the stage, but was not on the program as a speaker, marched to the front of the stage and in a quiet zens' who occupied a seat voice protested against the ratifica- tion of the treaties and offered a res- olution endorsing the resolution of the Senate committee on Foreign vagrant | these treaties. The ‘leadérs’ of the meeting were dumbfounded by the audacity of the speakef, Who seemed to have the moral and vocal support of hundreds of Germans scattered through the au- dience., Mr. Choate tried to speak, howled down and other speakers did not meet with better success. 5 | but was A dozen determined men were ready-to eject Mr. Koelbe from the stage, Dbut he produced a ' coupon which entitled him to a seat upon the stage. Not until Mr. Koelble had raised his hand did the tumult subside and the meeting adourned without having accomplished. its ob- ject. g ONE BRIGHT SPOT.. An indication that business during the year now drawing to a close was not altogether on the bum may be found in the fact that the value of diamond, pearls and other gems im- ported into this country by way of the port of New York slightly ex- ceeded $41,000,000. Last year the value of the gems received at the Custom House in New York was $40,566,448, which exceeded any previous year trade, with the single exception of 1906, when the total reached $43,- 573,488, in the history of the JUGGLING THE CHILDREN. There is more tinkering done with educational methods in this country than with the tariff and the result in both cases is unsatisfactory patch- work, Every man or woman with some particular hobby or notion on educational matters seeks to graft tavorite fad upon the school system, and, unfortunately, they succeed only too often. At a meeting in Earl Hall, Columbia Uni- versity, the other night, Dr. Joseph Jacobe, president of the American Folk-Lore Society, read a paper in which he changes in the educational system of his or her advocated some radical this country. He advocated that the| purely intellectual training of the children be postponed a few years and the time thus “gained” devoted | to games and fairy tales. He said, it would be a good thing if children did not learn-to read until they were Inine years of age, if between five and nine years the time could be filled folk-tales, folk-songs, folk- | dances, folk-drama and folk-games. with B R R R R R R R ] @ Politics and Politicians. © POPOVOCOPOPPVOOP The .

In the business world the “young man” is always the one who picks the plums. It is an age of “new thought,” “new talent,” ete. and the old man is passed by in the race. One of the first signs of coming age is the appearance of gray bairs. ‘When you see them, act promptly. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy will correct this sign, which so often deceives people into thinking that age is really upon them.
