that | did not close out my stock

to close business, although some
Of my friends in the same bust
ness are telling it that it was only
an advertising dodge to get clear
Of some old stock, and that | am
not going to quit business. To
all such | will say that am posi-
lively selling out to 60 West and

was that | have had a little diff.
Guilty with my landlord in regard
to the lease Of my store, and

THAT APPORTIONMENT.

After copying our article on the Con-
grcssional apportionment in former
issue of the HERALD, the Wa Keeney
World says:
CHOW We desire to sight our friend of
the '.Herald" to the fact that the
WORLD is the only newspaper which
has proposed plan of appol ticnmrnt by
which his (and our demand for "rep,
resentatiVe from western Kansas" can be
realized. AL other plans extend the
so called western districts so far east as
to render absolutely certain the selection
OF n congressman from east Of the geo.
graphical center of the State. Saline
and Ottawa counties, for instance, are
placed by the Junction City Union in
the sO-called northwestern district for
the "avOwed'' purpose of providing a
place for Hon. Lewis Hanback,. Against
Capt. Hanback,, we have nothing to say.
In fact, We like him. But this princi-
pc of providing place for him or any
other particular man is wrong, and
should not be tolerated by the people
for an instant.
A western district is the on'y basis
for the selection of a western Kansas
man to represent us in congress. "her-
aid Brother, what shall we of the west
do? Shall We unite IN purpose and ac-
ton for securing our rights or shall we
refuse to do our duty By ourselves ?
These are live questions, and upon the
answer 10 them depend, in great meas,
nre, the FORTUNES of western Kansas for
the decade to come.

THE SAME OLD FRAUD.

The Hiawatha 'WOrld" has started
the ball, and other papers arc keeping it
moving, relative to a repeal of the sub
sFdy to the "Kansas Farmer" in the
shape of all the State Estray Notices.
The law always was a fraud. We were
in the Legislature when the law was
passed, and did all in our power to de-
feat it, but without avail. The gam
mon that it was for the interest Of the
farmers prevailed. 1t was at the session
of 1865 An old fellow named Brown
was then publishing the Farmer" at
Lawrence, and he personally bored the
members TO support tire kill. A num-
Der of efforts have since been made to
repeal it, but the publisher of the
Farmer has always managed to pre-
vent it. by the cant that it wa in the l.
tCrest Of the farmers. At times the
Farmer" has been kept alive when
otherwise it would have been permitted
to die, for the sole purpose of getting
the money for these cs ray notices. 1t
has changed hands repeatedly, and betr
moved from place to place, but have al
ways held firm grip on these notices
They are Of no earthly use in that pa
per. 1t is paper of no force or infu
ence, and not one farmer in Fifty in the
Srate knows there is such paper in cx
istcnce. Very few people ever see it
But the law is a gouge upon tho State
and seems to have become a pCrmancn
fixture, like other bigger ones that ar,
Just as useless.-Kansas Chief.

THOUGHT HIS TIME HAD COME.

1
For twenty years an old man of our
country, whom we will call Jack Bald
win, has cultivated the suil and drawn
therefrom support for himself and his
wife he Is childless. Not long since
Jack left his house IL search of miss
ing COW. His ruute led him through an
old worn out piece of clay land of about
six acres In extent, In the center Of
which was a we'll about 30 feet deep
that at some time had probably furn
ished the inmates Of dilapidated house
near by with water. Ia passing the
SPOT an i'll wind drifted Jacks hat from
his head and maliciously waited it to the
edge of the we'll and it tumbled In. Now
Jack had always practiced the virtue of
econ,my, and he Immediately set about
recovering his hat He ran to the we'll
and finding that it was dry at the bot
tom he unroled the rope which he had
brought for the purpose of capturing
the cow, and after several attempts TO
catch the hat with q moose he concluded
to save time by going down into the
well himself To accomplish this he
made fast one end of the rope to
stump hal By, and was soon on his way
down into the well.
1t was fact of which Jack was lesr
obvious than the reader hereof-that a
mischievous fellow, whom We will call
Neal Willis, was in the old building and
saw Jack 90 down into the we'll, and it
so happened that Jacks old blind horse
Was near by with a bell on his neck
The devil himself or some other wicked
spirit, put it into Meals head to have :,
little fun; so he slipped up to the old
horse, unbuckled the strap and ap-
preached the well with the bell in his
hand, ting ling. Jack thought the
old horse was coming, and said in an
audible tone Chang the old blind
Il rise he's comm tits way, sure, and
he amt got nc more sense than to fall in
here on me-wo, Bah !" But the
sound Of the bell came closer, and Jack
was resting at the bottom of the well.
Great Jerusalem = said Jack the
old blind fool will be right on top of me
in miEit--wo, Ball-wo, haw, Ball p
Just then Neal got close to the we'll and
kicked little dirt on Jacks head. Jack
thought Ball was about to come, got
close to the side of the well and began
to pray: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on
-wo, Ball-a poor sinner I'm gone
now-wo, Ball-Our Father who art in
-wo, ball-heayen, hallowed be Thy
name Now I lay me down to sl-jee,
Ball, out OF your livers just Chen in
fell more dirt) back Ball Oh Lord, if
you ever intend to do anything for me-
back, ball, wo, no! Thy kingdom come
-jee, Ball-Oh, Lord you know 1 was
9aptised in Smiths mill dam-wo, Ball:
ho'up murder wo-farewell world.
Neal could hold in no longer and
showed himself at the top Of the well
with big horse laugh which might
have been heard two miles. This was
more than Jack could bear and he
started up the rope like monkey
Darn your picture, I'll give yon fits
I'll make your ears ring worse AN that
bell" Neal took to his heels and
ran like a quarter horse, and the last
that was seen of him he was half mile
from the we'll, with two big dogs grab
bling at his coat and Jack close behinG

How to Conduct a Spelling Glass.

How to Conduct a Spelling Class
There are several ways of conducting
a spelling class. Gone way would be to
call up a class and hear them rccite, }
The first important thing is to have
them come properly to their places, call
them up by Numbers and teach them to
come quietly. [ think it good plan,
when a word is missed to say nothing
about Il, and let the first one in the
class that observes it spell! it and go
above the one that missed, as that learns
them to pay attention to their lesson. l
should always give them head marks.
Another good way is to have them write
their lessons on the slate or On the
blackboard Gf you happen1to have one)
and have them mark the sounds Of the
letters, that IS an advanced class.
I wonld not have a small class spell this
way. Perhaps if I had any experience
my ideas might be different.

Method of Teaching Geography.


With beginners, I would not refer to
books at first; but make pupils tamil
lar with the local geography of their
homes; let them learn what hill, river,
pond, brook, valley, city and town is.
then extend their lessons to the sun
rounding country, by asking pupils what
they have seer in some of the travels
they have taken. [ should now use the
BOOKS and the globe; showing on the
globe the grand divisions of land, the
equator, the poles, etc. As pupils ad
vance, let them draw a map of the
scho u room then Of the school house
and grounds; then if possible the
county in which they live, and so on.
Have them draw places they are ac-
quaintcd with at first. Train pupils in
particular with the geography Of their
own state, then the main points of the
United States, Do not attempt to over
tax the memory with the local geogra-
ply Of all the states, for they can not re-
tain 1t. The most important questions
should be associated with history or dis
criptions. Itls pleasant variation for
one pupil to describe place and have
the rest tell the name of it, or to name a
river and have the rest OF the class tell
where it is. And also, what the princl-
pal imports aud exports are, and have
the class tell what country they are
from and to wh at country they are sent
The lessons of, geography can be varied
and made as interesting as history, and
not have It The same monotonous study
that it in generally. ELLEN Lowe.

from the shelf heavy oak cheese In
stead of appearing suddenly and robuk
ing him for the theft, as another would,
and thereby losing his custom forever,
the crafty old gentleman gave the THE!
his change as if nothing had happened,
and then, under prctence of lifting the
bag to lay it IN his horse for him, took
