QUITE number of the best teachers
of the county express determination to
adopt some other mode of livelihood next
year if wages do not improve. This is
question which the people must consider
at the next annual meeting. Our schools
cannot improve if the quality of teachers
depreciate. Not in years have there been
50 many inexperienced teachers employed
in this county as at present, and it was
only by great effort that a sufficient mum
Der of teachers to supply the schools were
secured, without lowering the standard
of qualifications to level to which the
sentiment of this county is not partial.
The wages of country teachers must be
increased or their continuance in the
business will be of brief duration. The
prosperity of the schools is at stake, be
cause their effectiveness must be impair
ed by placing them in charge of incom-
petent or Inexperienced persons. Just
as soon as maturity of mind is reached
other lines of business offer greater in
ducements and the country schools will
be left exclusively to the management of
callow youngsters.

BEAUTIFUL GOODS
Suitable for gifts at Robinson & Hin
richs', Central Drug Store.

FRANK SRIDL purchased boat lately
from Charley Beers. The boat had
paunch as if it had been overfed, but
Frank attributed it to broken ribs. Beers
and Seidi held consultation as to what
was best to do with the nondescript affair
which had all the appearance of being
pregnant. Jim Butler was called in for
expert testimony. he suggested that
she be tied up to await developments
and kept away from the water as that was
bad for her. When snow comes, by
placing runners under her she might pass
for a swell box cutter and with that idea
some horse might be induced to run
away with her. Seidl is in great distress
as he is kept busy explaining to farmers
that the thing is not q new kind of stump
puller and he wants to bury it in some
vacant lot.

A LITTLE five year old child had mir
aculous escape from death on the evening
express from Milwaukee, near Port Wash
ington. A mother with two children oc-
cupied a seat in the rear car. The moth
er found it necessary to withdraw with
the younger. leaving one little girl in the
sea-. The little one grew alarmed at the
absence of the mother and went in search
of her. She opened the door leading to
the rear platform by mistake and !s.. off.
the cars going at the rate of % miles an
hour. When the mother returned she
missed her child and on making inquiries
the terrible truth flashed upon her mind.
Conductor Langlois ran the train back
distance of three miles before the little
one was found. Strange to say she
escaped almost entirely unhurt, receiving
but q slight bruise on one shoulder.
The father was aboard the train but
was in the smoking car, drunk, leaving
the care of the children to his wife,
Being one of the lords of creation the
work of aiding his wife to guard their
children was something beneath him.

THANKSGIVING.

A holiday avowedly sensual but in
cidentally an occasion for the manifesto
ton of the noblest sentiments. 1t may
not "knit new friendships" but it
prepares the heart for the revival of old
ones. It is not sacred in the sense that
it bears the stamp of religion. 1t is
not purely secular as 1t commentaries
no event in profane history. 1t rears q
platform for mankind in whose con-
struction oredo fluids no place. Its
birth is not shrouded in antiquity nor
the issue of apocryphal goodness. 1t is
holiday "of the people, for the people, T"
and defves deep to the fountain of
thankfulness by opening way to
happiness. Fifty millions of people
are called upon to express gratitude for
the general prosperity, and what more
likely than that the bounteous past will
gild the promise of the future and that
the beauteous flower of hope will bloom
more sweetly because the atmosphere
is one of JOY.
To-day the heart may be full, but it
may be grief that holds carnival. While
the hand of plenty is held forth to some,
ashes are strewn on the heads of others.
The past may have nothing but regrets,
the future nothing but despair. 1t
mocks distress to be called upon to give
thanks for prosperity in which it had
no share. To the old, the New Life
which they are nearing, brighten it as
you may with the ehulganee of divinity,
is place of exile, whose paths are beaten
by the tottering steps of fear. Regrets
FOR vanished youth cloud the visions of
future bliss and gratitude gives place to
"reminiscences sad as ''the memory of
buried love-" As the years creep on
they bring pleasure and pain. The one
lights the eye but transiently while the
other leaves scars that time fails to heal.
1t is well that custom has suppressed ed
proclamation as to the manner in which
the day is to be observed The cross
which every life must bear until its
Calvary is reached is not laid aside for
fasting aud praying. From the gospel
of love and friendship and quiet content
the true philosophy of life is preached.
There is much gained if even for one
brief day we snatch respite from care,
anxiety and toll. The sybarite is not a
whit less wasteful of life than the
ancboret, and the revel which to-day
marks many O festal board is far more
conducive to correct living and to that
charity switch thinketh no evil than
is that solemnity of visage and bitterness
of heart that come from religious
contemplation of the worlds wickedness
and ones individual trials. If the pres
ent offers pleasures let not their
enjoyment to-day be marred by painful
memories of the past nor fruitless
concern for the future. Let thanks be
uttered by the voice of mirth and prayer
be syllabled by the lips of Joy. Kind
reader, we know of no wish to-day more
expressive of good will toward you than
the worldly one of the Bard of Avon,
that with you ''good digestion may wait
on appetite and health on BOTH"

HOARD of Fl. Atkinson is troubled
With subscribers coming to his Office and
asking him to take cord wood. The
trouble is that Hoard is so genial com
panion, subscribers pay him two or three
times year in order to have few min
utes chat with him. When your pile
grows so large as to be in the way, Friend
Hoard, send us little by mail. Chill
dren born within the last decade here
have no idea of what wood is except
from hearsay. Send US a splinter or a
shaving and we will sit down and call you
blessed. We will start church fair with
that curiosity and devote the proceeds to
the conversion of the heather who failed
to elect Charley Williams in the First
district.

On Thursday night of last week as the
marshal and a Waterman were OF the
corner of York and Eighth street, they
heard man coming over the bridge at a
Bull Run gait. When he reached Bran
deis' store he slipped and fell and was
caught by the officers. He explained
that he was one of the Muskegon hands
and was in south side saloon; that
crowd there knowing that he had lately
oeen paid off, pitched on to him for the
purpose of ''going through" him. The
marshal wanted him to return and point
out the saloon where the robbery was at
tempted but be professed to be too much
alarmed. Inquiry developed the fact
that he had played pool and lost num-
Der of games. To settle the score he
skipped out the back door followed by
the saloon keeper, who soon abandoned
the chase.
