Literary history Is crowded with instances of torpid and uninteresting boyhood. . Gibbon was pronounced "dreadfully dull," and the utmost that was predicted of Hume in his youth was that "be might possibly become a Steady merchant." Adam Clarke, afterward so deeply skilled, in oriental languages and antiquities, was pronounced by his father to be "a grievous dunce," and of Boileau, who became a model for Pope, it was said that he was a youth of little understanding.

To Flake Off An Old Complexion (From Life and Beauty) A woman need never cease to have a young-looking complexion if she will adopt the mercolized wax habit. The wax actually takes off the old complexion, with all its imperfections, and the newer and livelier skin, which then appears, bears that rare beauty and irresistable loveliness that only a youthful skin can possess. The skin is indeed youthful, in reality as well as In appearance. The natural process of tissue-change, which slows up with the passing of the years, and in most conditions of ill-health, is hastened along by this mercolized wax treatment Faded, yellowish or blotchy surface skin is flaked off in powderlike particles, a little each day, causing no inconvenience. Mercolized wax now procurable at any drug store, is the only known substance that accomplishes such results. It is applied at night like cold cream, and washed oft In the morning.

The Awakening.

Over toward the back of the paper is a column Jn which the births and deaths are recorded. We never look at it without wondering whether the tradition of the republic in its younger days still persists that every mother viewing her man-child thinks that some day he may become a president. These later years we have rather doubted ttis. .For now there are many mothers whose faces sadden when they think of what the future may hold for the children they bring into the world. But with all this black future, it is a world that lives pretty much in the present, which even in black st despair goes to the nickel theaters if it cannot afrord the theater, mates over its old dresses and makes last year's Sunday suit do for occasions, although the flaunting style of a cheap hand-me-down may have veered to the opposite pole. It is still a place where things are taken lightly and where to be goody-goody is unfashionable.

They say that every circus day gives a pretty good idea of the American people. The staring multitudes, scrubbed children bossing their parents, take on the appearance of helplessness. These are the everyday citizens these are what the butter raoutherf politicians call "the great American people." It is these simple, unspoiled, honost men and women that form the backbone of America. And the questions always arise, "What show havo those 'against the tricksters of machine politics? What can they do to ward off a danger that they do not even see? How can it be told to these trusting people of the wiles and whispered deals in hack rooms, that steal away from them the very bread from their mouths?

But last Tuesday the answer came in no very mistakable terms. "Practical politicians" have assured us that "the people get what they deserve." ! Let s see what they got. In Massachusetts the everyday people that work in the great textile mills and in the shoe factories were assured by the president of the United States, on the eve of his western tour into the "enemies' country," that the only way in which they could head off disaster was to vote for Frothingham instead of Foss. It was made the keynote of the campaign by the Lodge machine backed by the men who wish an extortionate tariff. But the people voted down the Ixidge machine. In New York, where a year ago the coalition between Wall Street and Tammany put the puppet Dix in the governor's chair and sent a Tammany man to the senate of the United States, the people broke the back of Tammany. In Philadelphia, which for years has been enmeshed In the toils of a corrupt machine, subservient to the wishes of the Pennsylvania railroad and other greedy corporate influences; looted by petty grafters and criminals and made the spoil of rich contractors, to whom the government was farmed out for exploitation the people arose and rolled up a majority so conclusive that all the ballot stuffing of a corrupt organization could not snow it under. The ring was forced to put up a harmless man. But he was like an inncjeent collie in a band of sheep eaters. The public granted that he might have all the qualifications of Old Dog Tray, but that they would take no chances. So the Keystone candidate won over the Pennsylvania railroad machine, dominated by Penrose. In Cleveland, Newton Baker, the friend and co-worker of Tom L. Johnson, takes up Johnson's fight but Cleveland's real fight against corruption is easier now for the everyday citizen had his eyes opened long ago. And Toledo Brand Whitlock (who followed "Golden Rule" Sam Jones is"elccted though a socialist), for the fourth time! There the victory for the people has been won for keeps. In Toledo and Cleveland it was not a serious struggle for plain decency as it was in Philadelphia and in the last tity of bossism Cincinnati. And what happened in Cincinnati? There Hunt, the young man who had chased Boss Cox from his plunder of the city to the point where only his own creatures of the courts saved him from the states prison, won. The everyday citizen turned against the Republican machine, even with the appeal of a President of the United States to his own townsmen to confuse the issue! Yes, it was quite the same story whether you think of the Socialist gains up and down the land, or in Maryland where the people had the choice between the corrupt Democratic machine or the Republican machine the people wherever they had not opportunity to vote for what they actually wanted voted to rebuke the strongest oppressors.

It seems to us that these results have a national significance, far deeper than any partisan measure of success in 1912. No fairminded man can say that the people of every community did not disregard outside influences and avoid the bait put out to distract them. It was no longer the staring helpless crowd of the circus but the enobled and enlightened voting strength of the republican democracy.

It was no hope to those machine politicians who weight the vote in the terms of party strength. Who can say that this is any forecast for the supremacy of any particular party? But nevertheless it does shed a very real light on 1912. What would the people do confronted by a standpat candidate like Taft and equally standpat candidate like Harmon. It used to be that 6uch a trick could be put over. Those were the days when allegiance to party was as sacred as the sanctity of the home. But this very trick of putting up one dummy to be beaten by another has been found out. Would it work again?

The Palladium believes that were such criminal folly to be undertaken by the two old parties there would be a demonstration made by this staring circus crowd of American citizens which would not be forgotten in a hurry. The men who are inveighing against Socialism can not be too blind to the cause of the Socialist gains in this last election. The Socialists themselves will scarcely claim that every man who voted the Socialist ticket believed or understood the doctrine which every holder of a red card believes in. But peole will not sit by idly and see themselves tied up by a band of political mercenaries and then docilely march up to the polls and say they like it.

If the two old parties want to be crippled and then overthrown they have only to put up standpatters on the two tickets and their ruin is spelled. We do not imagine that the machines are broken and that henceforth they will close up shop. Far from it. But the election shows that the people will not stand hitched. They no longer look on it as "reform" it has become a matter of bread and butter. To vote the straight ticket is a pretty big pill to swallow for a man who belongs to, say a railroad brotherhood, when he knows the record of the man in congress has been dead against him. He thinks of the small child, just born, and wonders not whether he will become President he only thinks of the unequal opportunities which have become more and more unequal these last few years. Instead of wondering whether his child will become President, he wonders whether he will get a job, and whether he will have enough money to buy the necessaries of life. And so the very milking of the people has waked them up. The machine which has its feet in the mire of the big cities and rears its head into the senate Is quite the same whether the state be Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, or its senator the blatant Penrose or the polished Lodge. The machine, we say, is quite the same it is the people who have changed.

Some Gossip Gathered From The Gay American Metropolis

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. The Metropolitan Opera company will begin its fourth season under the direction of Guilio Gatta-Casazza next Monday evening with a performance of "Aida," and there is every indication that the opening performance will be a great artistic as well as social success. Tht cast will include lime. Destin, who will sing the title role; Caruso, who will make his reappearance as Rhadames and Margaret Matzenauer. the new contralto, who is cast for the part of Amneris. Signor Toscanini will conduct. As usual on the opening night of the Metropolitan opera season everybody who is somebody will attend the performance and to figure up the billions of wealth represented ! by the occupants of the row of boxes in the "golden horseshoe" would make any ordinary mortal dizzy. The new season promises to be quite interesting to music lovers. One of the interesting announcements is that the new American opera "Mona," the music by Prof. Horatio Parker, of Yale, and the libretto by Bryan Hooker, will be given its first production during the season. Other new works to be presented are "Boris Godounoff," by the Russian composer Moussorgsky and "Lobetanz," by Thuille. Furthermore, the American premiere of "Le Donne Duriose" will be given, and the composer, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, has promised to be present on that occasion. The season will include several performances of "Parsifal," and a complete cycle of the Nibelungen Ring. Last year's operatic novelties, "The Girl of the Golden West" and "Koenigskinder" are again to be presented and the repertoire of standard operas will include Bizet's " Carmen," which has not been heard at the Metropolitan for several years. Public School 2, located on Henry street near Pike street in Manhattan, will celebrate its centenary anniversary next week in a manner befitting the historical importance of the event. The board of education and the graduates of the school have combined their efforts in arranging an elaborate program for the exercises. "The old Seventh Ward School" is the name by which the school used to be known for many years in its early history. That was before the district changed and when Montgomery street and Henry street and Pike street were lined with neat brick dwellings with carved doorways and knockers and all that distinguished in those days the homes of substantial citizens. Today about the only English heard in that neighborhood is spoken in the classrooms of the school. Alien languages are heard almost exclusively outside its walls and crowded tenements now surround it on every side. The site on which the school of today stands was given to the city for establishing a free school in the city of New York by Col. Henry Rutgers. It consisted of two lots and in 1806, when the gift was made, the value of the two lots was estimated at $2,500. The building used at present is the second erected upon that plot. The first school, which was" opened on November 13, 1811, accommodated on a pinch 450 children. Into the present building there are squeezed about 2,500 children, nearly all Russian Jews. The original building was remodeled

COAL THIEF FINED DOLLAR AND COSTS For stealing a bushel of Pocahontas coal valued at twenty-five cents from the yards of the P. C.

The various Greek letter fraternities of America have 300,000 members today in the colleges and universities of the land. They are all derived from a secret fraternity, organized in 1750 by the students of William and Mary college at Williamsburg, Ya.. and called the Flat Hat Club. Among the members .of the F. H.

in 1834 and etiil later was torn down and replaced with the building still in use. More than 20.000 of the graduates of that old school are still living and many of them will take part in the four days' celebration planned. Some members of the gentle sex are not always quite so gentle and lamb

like as one might expect them to be. It is true, history contains many re- ' cords showing that tigers are comparatively gentle and harmless creatures compared with infuriated women, yet flagrant examples of the lack of gentleness in women of the present day, especially among those not actively engaged in the suffra- , gette business, are always more of less a shock. There were two such , examples within a few days. A constable visited a saloon in Yonkers the other day to confiscate the license, I when he was attacked by the woman i who runs the place and nine other ; women. The women beat, kicked and : bit the constable and tore every stitch ! of clothing off his body. When the po- ; lice arrived it. was found necessary j to use a barrel to convey the constable : through the streets. It is reported that the woman who keeps the saloon ; alone bit the man sixteen times and I his body was literally covered with cuts and bruises. The same woman, ! some time ago, attacked a man who i came to collect a bill and broke nearj ly every one of his ribs. For weeks his life was despaired of. A young Italian woman came to the j East 104th Street police station a few ! days ago and requested the lieutenant in charge to send two policemen to her house, as a man had been hurt there. Two detectives were detailed to accompany the woman and on the way the woman, who is only twenty years old, confessed to the officers that she had killed her former lover because he had jilted her. When the officers arrived at the house they found the dead body of the victim, who had been stabbed by the woman three times in the head, twice in the neck and four times in the region of the heart. The great reform wave which has swept over this state during recent years and has led to a war against all forms of gambling-in-public is responsible for the decline of horse racing in New York. According to advertisements now appearing in the daily papers, the old Sheepshead Bay race track, the scene of many an exciting and famous horse race, is on the market for sale. The property, which comprises of 430 acres has an assessed value of $2,750,000, but it is said that the land can be bought for considerably less than that figure. From present indications the property will be offered for sale for residential purposes. The land extends along Ocean avenue from Neck Road to Voorheea avenus, thence to Cedar Woods, and the waterfront at Sheepshead Bay. The final public hearing of the budget fo 1912 was held the other day in the Council Chamber of the City hall, and, after the hearing was over, it was estimated by the officials that the final figures of the budget will be close to $189,000,000. This is quite a large sum even for running so large a city as New York. Police Commissioner Waldo's request for 1,000 additional policemen foi next year was struck from the budget with the consent and approval of the mayor. VICTOR EMMANUEL IS 42 YEARS OLD (National News Association) ROME, Nov. 11. King Victor Emmanuel was forty-two years old today and popular enthusiasm over the war caused the anniversary to be marked j by national rejoicings upon an unj usually extensive scale. The national colors and pictures of the royal fami- ! ly were displayed everywhere. Mili tary reviews were held and dinners were given by the municipalities and villages for the poor. During the day all of the foreign diplomats resident in Rome called at the Quirinal and presented messages of greeting in behalf of the sovereigns and nations they represent. - REST AND HEALTH TO MOTHER AND CHILD.
