In the Ave words, "though, although through, programme, catalogue," there are S9 letters. If we leave off the final superfluous letters of these five words and spall them, "tho, altho, thru, pro nam. catalog," as recommended and adopted by the National Education association, we save IS letters. This Is a saving of 334 iwrcent. When people nowadays are so raster to save even 1 percent in their business and work, Is It not passing strange that they will for a moment tolerate such a waste Id their spelling? Western women are not only worthy, but able to obtain public recognition and to hold public office with credit to themselves and satsfaction to their constituency. Miss Rose R. Turner has been nominated superintendent of pub- tic Instruction by the democrats of Spokane county, Washington, and Miss Anna Connor was elected treasurer of Shoshone county, Idaho. Pacific coun ty. Wash., has bad a lady school sup erintendent for years. Both aides profess themselves satis fied with the award of the anthracite eoal strike commission. Perhaps this is because they feel that Justice. has been done, and perhaps it Is because they both realise that the public would have precious little sympathy with any kicking about the decisions of this tri bunal.

Secretary Cortelyou Is one of the few remaning men in public life who af fect the pompadour style of brushing - the balr. Fifteen or It years ago It seemed as If all mankind had the pom padour craze. Probably it has been counteracted to some extent by the ad vent of the football style. Fifteen thousand colonists are coming aver from Great Britain and will settle somewhere in .the northwest of the do minion. They will bring with them ther clergymen, school teachers, editors and physicians and will form a com pact cobny. An enthusiastic Britisher has figured out that at least 500.000.000 people of the world speak the English language. After a while It may grow so popular that even the people of London will speak It A physician declares that people who sleep with their mouths closed live the longest To this might be added that if they kept them shut while awake they will live more comfortably. Some of the Soutb American repub los propose to have a Monroe doctrine of their own. They had better let Uncle Same have the exclusive use of this doctrine. He knows how. The government has appropriated $7,000,009 for the construction of irrl gallon works In certain points in the west This Irrigation will help 600,000 acres of arid land.' Don't kick, son, because you are tied to mother's apron strings. She will let you go arter a while, ana some time you wjU discover that she Is the dear est friend on earth. Of the K men who have been presi dent of the Vnited States, 10 todny have no descendants. The United States has the highest murder rate of any country in the world. A parliamentary- return Just issued show's that 40,401 persons emigrated from Ireland in 1902. Of these 35,472 went to the colonies and foreign coun tries. Since 1851 4,000,000 persons have emigrated from Ireland. "Buffalo Bill" has sent a warning to President Roosevelt that unless the sheep are kept out of the mountains there will not be enough water for ir rigation purposes in five years. They kill the underbrush. Mr. Hearst is said to take his presi dential boom seriously All the same ft Is safe to predict that for some time to come the presidents of the United States will be "white" men not yel low ones.
