More than that, she will be forgiven for trying too much to engross his time. This is the youngest of the great cities of the continent. Chicago had been long in existence when San Francisco was not on the map under her present name. | An alcalde was here, exercising the sole judicial and administrative authority over the pueblo of Yerba Buena, when the great city of the lakes was swelling with a sense of its com- ing destiny. The Mexican people of Alameda County, across the bay, were petitioning the cause of the waste of water that lay between and the perils of its navigation, when Long John Wentworth was getting corner lots in Chicago and the people were building docks ‘on The Presidert sees now a bay, ferried every fifteen minutes and crossed by thou-| sands of Americans. e sees a great city upon what were then bleak hills.

One experiment provided cach pupil of proper age with a garden patch thirty feet long and nine feet wide. Three feet at one end of each patch was devoted to flowers and an equal space at the other end given to bush fruits; the remainder was planted with vege- tables. In the first year of the experiment the loss to the school was about $12 per acre, but the work was continued, and with the training of the children better results were obtained, so that last year the school made a profit of about $320 an acre.. The report adds: ‘“Before the gardens were formed the site pro- duced not a shilling’s worth of food for man or beast.

About the only an- swer we can make to his charge is to evade the issue | raised with respect to the treatment of negroes in this country, and demand of the Moslem that he show m Macedonia and the Balkan States generally-the good works in the way of solving race problems that he would like us to emulate. B —— The Massachusetts Legislature has got far enough along with its work to begin considering the advisa- bility of appointing a committee to investigate bribery charges. The fact is looked upon by the Massa- chusetts taxpayers as an encouraging sign of an ad- journment not later than the first of June. S TR Peace and prosperity have had such an effect upon the people of London that the Westminster Gazette recently quoted an authority as saying: “The agita- tor who thundered denunciations to a great Hyde Park crowd of workingmen ten years ago speaks now to a handiul of poor, ignorant creatures who cannot understand what he is talking about.” It is a good showing, but unfortunately British conditions are such that whenever the average worker goes out of a job he ‘goes at once to starvation, and conse- quently the first interruption that comes to the pres- ent prosperity will again give the agitator audiences big enough to make Hyde Park howl like a jungle full of wolves. e Since the last Pennsylvania Legislature, largely composed of lawyers, passed such a stringent libel bill, the editors of the State are talking of electing & Legislature next year which will pass a bill impos- ing a heavy license on lawyers and compelling all who ! do not pay it to wear a muzzle, A Missouri Democrat is reported to have claimed that the country will go Democratic next year be- cause the Republican policies have developed so much business that men have no time to sleep, and are get- ting tired of it.
