OTTAWA school matters are again
undergoing Il somewhat vigorous dis
cussion in the local press. Some time
ago one of the teachers was insulted
by a pupil after school hours, and by
way of -reprisal he "cuffed' the lad
next morning, taking the precaution to
inhict the punishment before nine
o'clock. The matter was taken up by
the School Board and referred to a
committee, which summoned the teach
er to attend the investigation. This
the latter refused to do, on the ground
that, as the OtfenSe was committed and
the punishment inflicted outside of
school hours, the matter was beyond the
competence of the Board to deal with,
and the only course open to the boy
was to prosecute him as he would any
other citizen, for assault The Board
then dismissed the teacher for refusing
TO obey its summons, -~10roaato Globe.

When we see men who for four years
did their best to destroy the Government
and deluge the land with the blood OF
patriots, and who stand responsible for
the thousands Of millions of debt that
now burdens -the million, holding up
their hands in holy horror because the
wife of Republican official took money
that she ought to have refused. we are
led to believe that Republican virtue Is
so clearly established that single de-
parture from it shocks the world, or that
these ex Confederate gentlemen are OBJ
livious to the crimes they have commit
ted in the past in comparison to when
the crime they condemn is as white as
the snow Wilmington Republican.

A Song of Spring.

A gentle step is on the withered leaves,
Where wtnd-swept boughs and molstened
MOSES lie;
At the soft tread the sleeping noweret breathes,
Raise@itself to see who passes by,
Thrusting aside the matted vines that cling.
While small birds chirp and warble, "It Is
Spring"
Adown the fields she passes; as she goes,
Over the trees tmplOring arms so bare,
soft green mantle now she kindly throws
That shakes its scented taasels In the air:
No more like sleeted warriors clad In mall
Their green plumes nod her glad approach 10
hail.
The grass thrusts up Its fingers by the way,
To tell the city of her coming life;
While through the hills the small brooks laugh
and play,
With merry music ms of fiute or file,
Bidding the MOSES, an they dance along,
New-clothe themselves and listen to their song
How many times, o gentle Spring, declare,
Hast thou awaked the sleeping Earth from
dreamsr
Placed fragrant flowers In her tangled hair,
And bathed her forehead from fresh ripping
streams? .
And when our feet no more these paths shall
tread,
still viii thy songs be sungF thy bright blooms
spread?

went down to Smyrna last week to
look at a house. AS I was riding along
the road with Maj. Barry we passed q
couple of fields that were filled with
such wild, tangled confusion of BUSH
es that they resembled a jungle.

''You see, Merrihew owned that
farm, and he got along well enough
until one day an idea struck him. lie
came to me and he said: Barry, Zee
got just the biggest idea you ever heard
Of. Barry says he, there are about
eight million men in this country lain t
there? We'll, how many toothpicks
does each man use in {; year? Say
four month ON an average !; that s
about fifty year apiece, or four hun
dred million year for the whole ma
ton. Now what is the best toothpick
in the world? It's thorn-say two
inches long, hard, smooth, with u sharp
point, and not likely to break. I've
got bush full of them on my place,
and going to grow 'em, fill the whole
farm with 'em, introduce 'em to the
trade, and make my fortune
$50, sure enough, Merrihew went to
work and sewed about lis acres in
those thorn bushes, and the next sum-
mer he had the awfullest crop Of 'em
you ever saw. Filled the whole place.
When the thorns were grown Nlerri.
ew empl Dyed twenty men to pick 'em

one thousand dollars. Then he got the
toothpicks tied up in bundles, and he
sent 'em up to the city. After shin
ming around for five OF six weeks, try.
ing in vain to sell 'em, IL man offered
him forty dollars for the lot, and he
accepted the bid.
The forty dollars just paid his board
bill and carried him home. Two days
afterward the man had him arrested
for fraud, because the toothpicks
poisoned the mouths of his customers.
and the court made him refund the
money and pay the costs. BY the
time the case was settled the thorn
bushes had grown so fast that an ele-
plant clad in sheet iron couldn't have
made his way through one of the
fields, and when Merrihew got some of
his friends to come out and advise
him what to dc, they decided that it
would cost more to clear off the land
than the property was worth and they
counseled him to let it alone. So he
did, and now he is driving q mule
team for man in Smyrna for a dol
lar and a half day, and the toothpick
plantation is going to seed, The very
sight of toothpick sets Merrihew
crazy, and it's no wonder, is it!''
