Artist Did His Best, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Be Satisfied.
FOOLING WITH THE LANGUAGE.

Another of that class of "educators’*
who Imagines that he must propose
something "original” In order to obtain
prominence has announced to the lit-
erary world that be has succeeded In
eliminating nine letters from the al-
phabet, thereby working In It a vast
Improvement So far as the process
of elimination Is concerned he is, pos-
sibly, porrect In his statement The
“matter of improvement'* however,
will have to be left to the majority
to decide, and there is no doubt that
the verdict will be overwhelmingly
against him. While the Instance Is
not important of Itself, It Is Illustra-
tive of another of the many attempts
that have been made within the past
few years to tinker with the English
language, the lntroductlc n of “fad”
methods of teaching and the general
tendency toward the bizarre In Im-
parting instruction. Very few of the
radical innovations that have been
made within recent years have been j
Justified, says the Philadelphia In-
quirer. The majority of thdm have
tended to befog the student and ham-
per him in after life rather than make
bis path easier.^ This was the case
with vertical handwriting and many
other “improved methods’* that might
be mentioned. ‘
An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the hag of out nation played
a large part, .tie drevf the flag, first
time, with five stars in the blue field
and took It to the managing editor,
who promptly let out a yelp.
"Wadye think this country is,” said
the managing editor, "a trust?”
"What’s the trouble?” asked the
artist.
“Trouble.” bellowed the managing
editor, “why, we need more stars,
stars, stars!”
So the artist brought the picture
back and this time he had 117 stars in
it by actual count.
The managing editor felt his head
and cboked slightly.
"What do you think you’re draw-
ing?” he asked at last.
"You’re the hardest man to please
I ever met In my life,” said the artist
indignantly, ‘first it’s too few and
then it’s too many. How many stars
do you want, anyway?”

Concerning a report of the dean of a
western university that nine of the
students “should have been engaged in
some simple manna! labor,” the New
York World wants to know: “Is a
boy's right to go to college to be de-
pendent on his capacity for knowl-
edge?" It seems that It Is not In prac-
tice; but does that destroy a dean’s
right to comment on the situation?
What the Copy Boy Wrote.
Representative Dan Anthony or
Kansas, publisher of thp Leavenworth
Times, once had an ofilce boy who
yearned to know how to use a type-
writer—which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-down
machine over to him, says the Wash-
ington Herald, and bade him learn to
run it.
"What'll I writer* the boy asked.'
“Oh, just take some sentence, any
sentence at all,” Anthony told him.
“and see how long It will take you to
fill a page with it”
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony chanced to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: “Who the-Invent-
ed school?”

Pekin, Feb. 13.—After occupying the
throne of China for nearly three cen-
turies, the Manchu dynasty represent-
ed by the child Emperior, Pu Yi, ad-
dicated.
Three edicts were issued, the first
proclaiming abdication, the second
dealing with the establishment of the
Republic and the third urging the
maintenance of peace and approving
the conditions agreed upon by the
| Imperial Premier, Yuan Shi Kai, and j
the republicans.
At an audiehnce the Empress Dow-
ager touchingly thanked Yuan Shai
Kai for his successful efforts in ob-
j iaining good treatment for the imper-
ials from the republicans. The publi-
cation of the edicts has given pro-
; found relief to every one in Pekin,
both foreigners and Chinese. The ar-
rangement, is considered to be a skill-
ful compromise, and it is believed that
the terms will satisfy the republi-
cans.
The first edict provides that the
terms shall be communicated to the
foreign legations for transmission to
their Governments, the object being
to record a world-wide way the repub-
lican pledges.
In consideration for abdication the
republicans make the following eight
pledges to the Emperor:
The Emperor shall retain his title
and shall be respected as a foreign
monarch.
The Emperor shall receive an annual
grant of 4,000,000 taels until the cur-
rency is reformed, after which he shall
receive $4,000,000 Mexican.
A temporary residence shall be pro-
vided in the Forbidden City and later
the imperial family shall reside in the
summer palace, ten miles outside of
Pekin.
The Emperor may observe the sac-
rifices at his ancestral tombs and tem-
ples, which will be protected by re-
publican soldiers.
The great tomb of the late Emperor,
Kwang Su, will be completed and the
funeral ceremony fittingly observed
at the republic’s expense.

in Indianapolis, Mr. Tarkington said,
the first evening at dinner:
"I believe In the simple life. I get

“Thank you, Mr. Tarkington,” the
Englishman answered, “but I don’t
