Just See How Education Has Spread
Was a time, a few lives since, when dere
lict monks earned a few farthings by establish
ing pent hcuses against cemetery walls and
penning love letters for servant girls who had
not. learned the art of writing.
Time and necessity , spoil many a happy
plan. ' One can imagine no more enjoyable
occupation that to sit within the cool shade of
an awning on a bright day and write down
daring proposals for the lovelorn.
But the women have spoiled all this. They
wanted to write their own letters, and they
learned to spell and write and read. Why, oh
why! .
- '
Then, doggone it, they got so far advanced
that they started writing letters for men. They
crowded the male amanuensis out for the
most part. The typewriter was invented, and
for a time it was deemed impossible for any
woman riot a piano player to operate. There
7was music in the world those days. . Alas! The .
pfano fallacy was exploded by the women.
A vision for the future, judging by the
:, is disheartening. Business men of Klam
ath say that the female human of today who
ha) evolved from EheT.carefree damsel of the"
past has learned to do everything but think.
That she is a slave driver who makes him have
a guilty feeling every time he arrives at the
office an hour late.
Yet, the triumph of woman is not com
plete. When he wants to write a few tender
lines the mere man gets off in a corner by him
self, and does his own penning as in days of
old.

from life of uu-
Most enjoyable for the greater part was
. ; the tone of the mayor's annual message,
j . He shows great discrimination in the use
of descriptive adjectives. Only twice did he
use the word, "excellent." This in speaking
of the street and police departments.
But there is a place where he might have'
used "efficient." Klamath Falls has a fire de
partment. It is the one department the public
knows to be efficient. And somehow the
mayor wrote all around it without once men
tioning either the department or its efficiency.
That reveals a facile pen, indeed! Note this:
"The year has been marked with the .,
absence of great fires such as this commun
ity has been afflicted with in the past. No,
doubt one contributing factor has been
greater humidity of the atmosphere, etc."
; No, Mr. Mayor, it won't do. The fire de
partment passage was what the French call a
foxy pass. Next time merely write, "Fire de
partment is efficient," and let it go at that.
Otherwise the style of the message is in
veigling. , It has color, zip, a veiled threat or
two and is self-revealing.

of Ihe northern seas. Then he man
aged to land In tho region of New

the name of Kngland!
Hnnring atorles of Cabot's daring
and boldness. Ferdinand of Hpaln,
eont for him to come to hla court.
Hut tho king died before an expe

compelled hy tho Jealous Spaniards
to return to Kngland.
However, more than ten years
later, he waa back In Hpaln again
and sailing toward the coast of
Hotith America under Hpanlsh colors.
It Is sbIiI that the Portuguese sent

Ho you may see that the whole busi

broke out. Cabot's life was scarce-, A

Without hesitation ha landed Ihe

and proceeded tranquilly on hla way.

which followed waa swift and bitter.
The losses wars reported as 800 na

Cabot waa soon able to seo the

fulled and he was able to go no
further.
When at length he returned to
