How This Solid Earth Keeps Chang.
ing.

The student of history reads of the
great sea-tight which King Edward III.
fought with the French off Sluys; how
in those days the merchant vessels
came up to the walls of that fourishinp
seaport by every tide; and how cen.
fury later, Portuguese fleet conveyed
Isabella from Lisbon, and an English
fleet brought Margaret of York from
the Thames, to marry successive Dukes
OF Burgundy at the port of Sluys. In
our time, if modern traveller drives
twelve miles out of Bruges, across the
Dutch frontier, he will find asmall agri-
cultural town, surrounded by corn
fields and meadows and clumps of
trees, whence the sea is not in sight
from the top of the town-hall steeple.
This is Sluys.
Once more. We turn to the great
Bale du Mont Saint Michel, between
Normandy and Brittany. In Roman
authors we read of the vast forest
called Setiacum Menus" in the CEN
ter of which an isolated rock arose,
surmounted by temple of Jupiter,
once a college of Druidesses. Now the
same rock, with its glorious pile dedi-
Gated to st. Michel, is surrounded bv
the sea at high tides. The story of
this transformation is even more strik-
ing than that of Sluys, and its adequate
narration justly earned for M. Manet
the gold medal of the French Geograph-
ical Society in 1928.
Once again. Let US turn for mo-
ment to the Mediterranean shores of
Spain, and the mountains of Murcia.
Those rocky heights, whose peaks
stand out against the deep blue sky,
scarcely support blade of vegetation.
The algarobas and olives at their bases
are artificially supplied with soil. 1t is
scarcely credible that these are the
same mountains which, according to
the forest-book of King Alfonso ell
Sabio, were once clothed to their sum-
mits with pines and other forest trees,
while soft clouds and mist hung over
rounded, shaggy outline of wood where
now the naked rocks make hard line
against the FURNISHED sky. But Arab
and Spanish chroniclers alike record
the facts, and geographical science
explains the cause. There is scarcely
a district in the whole range of the civ
ilized world where some equally inter-
esting geographical story has not been
recorded, and where the same valuable
lessons may not be taught. This is

BESIDE 4 LITTLE GRAVE.

Call no one happy till he dies" the old
Athenlan saying, has the stamp of truth;
And OH how many bright and glowing youth
Int with the mornings sunshine and its gold,
As years swept on has darkened with the mold
OF vice and bitterness and sin-brought careI
How many fond and fearful mothers prayer,
Had been unuttered if she could have told
His future life whom she sought God to sparel
Nay; rather she had prayed he should lie cold
In all the purity of childhood drest;
And standing Ger my frst-born's little grave
can but humbly murmur God knew best.
Stainless He took the precious flower He gave.
Good Words.

that time it has had charge of the hooks.
Fully one-half the men trusted with re-

known Of the people to have been venal
and corrupt. The navh Secretary stole
whole millions outright; the war secre-

two administrations we're clothed with
shame: the interior Secretary Delano

EE General Hancock spoke the views
OF all patriotic American citizens when
he said: The war for the Union was
successfully closed more than fifteen
years ago; all classes of our people
must share alike the blessings of the
Union and are equally concerned in its
perpetuity and in the proper admins
tration of public aff,irs. We are in 8
state Of profound peace; as one people
We have common interests" The Re-
publican leaders can not find words to
express their detestation Of these senti-
ments, because they wish continually to
keep up sectional hatred and to destroy
the blessings of the Union. The people
of this country have "common inter-
ests," and it is their common interest
to order the Republican party out OF
power.

When the terrible panic and conse.
ouent disaster Of 1873 overlook the
country and begeared SD many hitherto
prosperous citizns, the people were not
slow TO recognize the fact that it was in
q large measure due to to the blunders
OF thirteen wears continuous Republican
rule. Their first move was to elect
Democratic House of Representatives,
under whose legislation the business in
terests of the country began to revive,
and during the present Congress. with
the cooperation of a Democratic Sem
ate. the legislation originating with the
majority has been abundanlly justified
by the rapid return to prosperity now
so manifest in all business affairs. All
that is now required 10 insure the con-
tinuance Of prosperity, is the co-opeis-
ton Of an Executive in harmony with
the .makine power. This the people
will provide for by the election of Han
cock.

Mr.. Editor We, for one, decidedly
object to the "wet- blanket" notice
which the Teachers Association re-
ceived at the hands of the Inlepend-
ent this week. It complains that the
interest taken in the organization is
not "what we would like to see." Now
we hope we are duly appreciative of
the fatherly interest which the indie
pendent takes in our welfare. But
what does it want of us ? If it wants
rant and fury and a display of hard
shell bowling, the Association, we
think, respectfully declines to furnish
the dish. But if it ."would like to see"
genuine interest and enthusiasm, it
should have been on hand last Satur-
day.
The meeting, as a fact, was a grand
SUGGESTIVE best educational meeting
ever held in the county, to our knowl-
edge. Class drills were given which
we have never seen surpassed, and pa
pers were read which would command
attention from any educational meet
ing in the land. Besides these. the
general discussions OH living questions
were full of interest and profit.
The attendance, too, considering the
state of the weather, was remarkably
good-creditable both to the teachers
and the town. The room was three
fourths filled with an appreciative au-
dience. At the close of the session
congratulations upon the success of
the meeting were heard on all sides.
Tho Association has now been rum
ming eight months, and considering
the fact that during that time, every
day Of meeting, with one solitary eX-
ception has been almost intolerably
disagreeable, the interest and attend
ance have been preserved remarkably
well-mOre than that, they are con-
stantly increasing. PED.
