*-LIFE: Ovations. Evens now and then word comes to us of the Filipinos tendering ovations to somebody, Do we sufficiently bethink oursel what this signifies Filipinos tendering ovations, or, anyway, what our great newspapers are willing to call ovations, can mean only one thing, namely, that benevolent assimilation has at las' through the hides of these people and seized upon their emotions, They are getting to be like us with a subliminal and not a merely superficial likeness. No doubt the character of the ovations leaves something to be desired. That these raw Filipinos should be able to as much fuss as we do, while knowing as little wh not to be expected. They are new to the blessings of liberty, and naturally handle them more or less awkwardly. We should not forget that it has taken us, with all our fine Anglo-Saxon traditions, more than a hundred years to perfect the art of yelling twenty minutes at nothing with- out stopping. The impulsive will say : ‘* Since the Filipinos have done so much, let us modify the tariff to the extent of permitting them the free importation of megaphones."” But this, of course, is a delicate matter. “She put some poison in his tea” The sacrament makes beautiful what otherwise were hateful, And odious and loathsome, too,—we all should be so grateful | ‘0 matter how we disallow commandment number seven, If we but keep the sacrament, we'll all stay wed in heaven, We operate for other ills and give a quick quietus Noblesse Oblige.

Mr, Ganderbill was very courteous, putting the Magis- trate at his ease almost at once. A fine of $10.37 was imposed. Mr. Ganderbill listened with interest while it was ex- plained to him that the fine was only nominally punitive, its real purpose being the replenishment of the fund for keeping the roadways clear of the débris of collisions, which would soon render them impassable if left to accumulate. He smiled good-humoredly, but made no comment. Mr. Ganderbill was not accompanied by Mrs. Ganderbill, but a reporter called at the Ganderbill mansion as soon as yssible and learned that she wore a pink dressing-sacque, ith diamonds. John Lomax. Chivalry. “O NLY ladies,” declares the Rev. Dr. Charles R. Henderson, Professor of Sociology inthe University of Chicago, ‘are treated with chivalry ; women do not receive it from the gentlemen of to-day."’ ‘This is not as esoteric as it sounds. Indeed, it is only other way of stating the old familiar truth that gentlemen arry women, whereas ladies are employed by them tu cook their victuals. Itis rather a new discovery, however, that the way toa an’s chivalry is also through his stomach. Dr, Henderson istinctly enlarges the gastric function, and th sociolog- ically significant. It brings us a step nearer to that day when the stomach shall have got itself sufficiently into the public eye to be mentioned in the conversation of fairly “Uwe but keep the sacrament, we'll all stay wed in heaven.” cultivated persons, comicbooks.com
