PUNISHMENT FOR MASHERS. | Feports of three casos of attempted familiarity toward women which was resented by its\ victims with an energy that arouses masculine admiration for the sever- Ity of the rebuke administered. Jn one case the offender ‘was horsewhipped, in another knocked down by a blow in the face and in the third given a drubbing the marks of which will not soon be effaced. In the light of these mestances of injured womanhood personally avenged the word “defenseless” as applied to the sex has become a misnomer.. After paying our tribute of admiration to the women What aro wo to say of the spirit which prompted the Offensive liberties thus rebuked? Or of that responsible for the ejection of a wealthy guest from a private house @t midnight for entering a young woman's room? Are fwe to infer that mashers are growing more numerous ‘and that among a certain rank of men respect for ‘woman ie lessening? It 1s humiliating that even in a vast community in ‘which evildoers of this stamp must necessarily be in a ‘hardly appreciable minority these cases of flagrant offen- aiveness toward women should be revealed. _ brother to frown upon a masher’s advances wherever een ?

Es THE PRESIDENT’S RIDE. * Boots and saddles for the President and the Presi- @ent’s son Theodore, jr., at 2 in the morning, and a dash across Long Island before breakfast. It was a stirring ride, befitting the cavallers from whom a strain in the Roosevelt blood is derived, Had they been carrying the good news from Oyster Bay to Sayville they could not hhave gone faster or ridden more fiercely.

He was recently talking with Lawyer Michael Harris when the term “a pop- ular tax" was used. ‘Ia there such a thing as a ‘popular’ tax?" suggested Harris. “Oh, yes,"’ replied the Judge. ‘'T know one variety of taxes that are extremely popular.” “What are they?” surprise, | “Those paid by other people,"* swered His Honor. woe ve Tho studio of the New York artist Mrs, Cadwallader Guild, in Berlin, is frequently visited by Emperor William.

Two of the disputants had crossed the Atlantic with Choate during the latter's rocent voyage to this country to attend his son's wedding. One of the two vowed that the Ambassador still wore little gray “alde-boanis,” while the other de- clared with equal vehemence that Choate was clean shaven, A third mem- ‘ver of the party remarked tn conolusior “It's @ case of the vanishing slde- ‘Now you see ‘em; now you don't.

They saw the moon set and the sun rise as they Pounded on through the mud, and when at last they drew rein they had covered thirty-five miles. It was a feat which fame will care for. We do not imitate a President as abroad they {mi- tate a king and Washington does not set the nation’s style. But there can be no doubt that the Presidential example on horseback, in tne tennis court, at handball or with the foils and in all the various forms of ath letic sport to which Mr. Roosevelt devotes his leisure ‘with much energy and assiduity is a good thing for the nation. It means the encouragement in young men of a sane body as the dwelling place of a sane mind and to have served to foster that notion is a satisfying achievement ‘ven for a President.

Sir Frederick Treves, the famous British surgeon, has we ‘tired from practice at the age of fifty years. He has estab shed a record in performing 1,000 consecutive operations for ®ppendicitis without a death. He hates the name, which ts of American origin, and prefers ‘‘perityphiitis.” There were 16,000 operations for this malady in Great Britain last year, with 9 per cent. of recoveries, including that of King Edward. $50,000 FOR $50. There has Just come to light in Bristol an tnteresting ro- mance of a picture. For some yeare there has been hanging in the Bristol Young Men's Christian Aksociation a picture entitled ‘‘The Holy Family.” The owner lent it for a long time, and once proposed that the association should buy tt. He did not wish to drive a hard bargain. The picture was obviously a good one; it was'six feet by four and a half feet, Would the committee Mike to buy it for £10? “If you would,” he sald, “I am #0 much in sympathy with your excellent work that Iam willing to contribute £5 myself toward the purchase money.” But the committee felt that they had more important demands for thelr £5 notes, and they replied accordingly, says the Philadelphia North American. By and by the owner died, and the executors began te realize on his estate. The picture was looked up and the work was ordered to be packed and sent to Lorton for sale. Judge the satisfaction of the executors when they receive an offer of £7,000 for it, and were advised hot to sell unde? £10,000. Experts have identified the picture as from the brush of Pietro de Cortona, the great Italian painter of thy! early seventeenth century. CAR-EMPLOYEE USURERS. The Western Electric Company, of Chicago, found em ployees were renderaj inefficient by worries over exactions of usurers, Men who were ordinarily provident were forced by great emergencies to borrow sums of money at exorbitant rates for commissions and interest. The company considered it bad business to advance salaries, but estatlished a credit department which has been in operation a year.
