How to Get Rid Of GOssips.

A poor woman, much given TO gOs-
sip but anxious to soar to higher things,
is explaining to Miss Hopkins her
means for ridding her house of the gos-
sips of the neighborhood. In answer
to remark of Miss Hopkins, that ''the
Bible tells us to be courteous, and that
to turn folks out of our house, however
much in the way they may be, is apt to
look rude," she replies: "The first
thing l did was to get the brush and

Michigan is one of the States which

there is 100000 in it's sinking fund to

THE WE'LL POSTED TEACHER

THE WE'LL POSTED TEACHER
The teacher you do not find every
day. You do not see him in every
school house in this broad land, either
in city or country. He is not ALWAYS
the teacher who makes the greatest
pretensions. Perhaps he has some
glaring faults. But go with me to his
school room and see how his scholars
respect him. They feel that they are
drinking from running brook" not
from a stagnant pool"
The aceW posted teacher is "opt to
teGch." He may not be SO at first, but
he becomes SO with surprising rapid
ity. Why is this? l will tell you.
Because, having the matter that he is
to teach, thoroughly learned, he has
only to give his attention to the man.
ner of presenting it. He has only to
devise the methods of illustration best
suited to his particular pupils, and
"pr0ctice develops him aoondertuzzy'
in this line.
When we think about these facts, we
begin to appreciate the value of our
State Normal Schools, whose aim is, to
furnish teachers equipped for their
work. What great thing it would be
for our country, if all our district
school teachers could have honorably
gone through mot "p0nied" through,
the four years Normal Course.
Then indeed would they be respect
ed, for down deep in the hearts of
great majority of the boys and girls in
this free country, there exists a desire
for an educational desire for that
kind Of an education of which General
Grant spoke, in his address to the prin-
cipals of the public schools of Pitts
burgh, Penn, Dec 10, 1870. Said
Grant: Intelligence is the security of
the Republic, as ignorance is the up
holding of monarchy. To insure our
selves against the disasters of war. par
ticularly of civil war, we want educa-
ton 0Iffused, that the minds of our
youth may be sufficiently taught to read
and to distinguish betaOeen right and
a0rong, and with such education, uni
versally diffused, the Republic can
never be in danger"
The we'll posted teacher is not with
out his trials. Like his brother, who
merely "keeps" school, he sometimes
has the terms 'pedagogue' and school
ma'am" applied to him in sneering
manner by the thoughtless. But he
has only to bide his time, to meet with
a compromising reward, which his
brother, the "school keeper" knows
not of. 1t is when, in after years, the
boys and girls that he worked SO hard
to teach, who often tried his patience
soTely, when these same boys and girls
" rise up and call that teacher blessed"
when they speak to him of the DAYS
when they went to school to him. and
how he made them love the pursuit of
knowledge, and how grateful they feel
toward him for it, ah, then does the
well posted teacher receive a reward
greater to him than all the wealth of
the Indies.
The we'll posted teacher Would
that we had one in every school house
in the land
Teachers, shall we not make great
effort to deserve that title?
Parents, can you afford to reduce
the salaries of such teachers to a mere
pittance, and thus discourage them
from attempting to reach this model?

COMPULSORY EDUCATION


The compulsory school law which
was enacted last winter makes it the
duty of the board of each district to
meet on the second Monday of Febru-
airy of each year and make a list of the
names Of those children between the
ages Of seven and fifteen who shall not
be in attendance on any school, and to
record each violation of the law, and
lille such record with the clerk. It IS
the duty of the director to prosecute
any parent or guardian who shall vio-
late the law.
We hope that the provision of the
law will be carried out in each dis
trlct. The only way to test the efficacy
OF a law is to fulfill all it's provisions,
and then if it does not suit, the people
may repeal it.

Fatal accident at Mendoza.

At about half past 10 yesterday morning

of Mendoza, met will his death suddenly and
most shockingly. He had started to walk
across the bridge by which the Milwaukee &
st. Paul road Is carried over the st. Paul Sioux
City road. when bis attention was attracted by

ward the man of the Omaha express, the engineer
If which was sounding his whistle to warn the
man of his danger. The man stepped off the
lower track and at that moment Mr.. Hayes,
too late, saw his own danger. The 10 o'clock
local passenger from Minneapolis was coming
and was within short distance of him before
the engineer saw him. An alarm was sounded.
the engine reversed and the air brakes SET all
as quick as possible, but all too late. The
locomotive was fifteen or twenty feet away
when Mr.. Hayes turned and saw it approach
ing. He might have jumped TO one side and
escaped, but he appeared to be confused. When
the engine struck him he fell under it and was
instantly killed, his body being cut,
crushed and mangled frightfully
by the truck wheels. and his
blood being forced in jets to ten or twelve feet
away. Mr.. Hayes was about so years old and
was proprietor of a combined grocery, saloon
and boarding house at Mendoza where he has
resided in Mendoza for twenty-five years. His
surviving family is quite large, including one
or two married daughters and one son grown
to manhood. He has also two married sisters
living in St. Paul. Mr.. Hayes had not long
ago recovered from injuries received in fall
from a wager in this city last winter.
