The First Days Work in School.

You should be present at your school
house at an early hour. You shOuId
gee that the room is in a comfortable
co 3dltlOn, and that the seats are not ar
RANGED in g careless manner. Having
previously prepared a temporary pro-
gramms, you should write it on the
blackboard, that the pupils may know
the order and time of recitations. The
programme should be written as neatly
as possible, because it is an index of
your work.
If convenient, when pupils enter the
schOOlrOom, you should address them
pleasantly. Place your pupils at their
ease If possible. This may NAV be-
done if you make an effort TO be agree
able. You Elust be agreeable not only
the first day cut every day. The time
for opening school having arrived, the
bell should be rung and as soon as pos
slble the exercises of the day should be-
gin. Some teachers commence with q
lecture on the benefits of education.

Some commence with singing, while
others use general exercises of one kind
of another. In making your selection,
choose to interest your pupils and not
yourself. Choose those exercises that
will interest the greater number that
will give them something pleasing to do.
Your first days work in school is but
an Introduction to your pupils. Make
that Introduction pleasant. If YOU sue
eeed in this, your first days work has
been 2 success. You must interest your
p9pils. If you fail the first dav. Won

the term. You must enter the school
room, having the greatest confidence in
your pupils. Your confidence must be

humanity must be unbOunded. 1t is

CHICAGO, ILL, September 19.-Isaac
Jacobson was hanged here at noon to.
day for the murder of George BedeIl
In April last. Rev Charles KoerneI
spent last evening with the prisoner
and called again this morning. The
execution took place In the eastern
extremity OF the main corridor Of the
Jail, and was witnessed by several hun.
dred spectators.
A scaffold had been erected at the east.
ern extremity Of the main corridor. At
noon over four hundred spectators had as.
sembled ON the ground floor, the two
galleries being packed to suffocation.
The jury, twentyfour In number, the
Grand Jury Of twenty-five more and re-
porters, occupied chairs and tables i'm
mediate.y In front Of the scaffold. 1t
was precisely noon when Sheriff Han
chett, accompanied by assistants and the
minister, entered the library and in-
formed the condemned man that his
time had come. For moment Jacob
FOn's face blanched uutil it was white as
his hoary head, and tremor went
through his body. Then, mastering up
his courage, he intimated by motion OF
the hand that he was ready, and the
procession moved to the gallows. Here
the prisoner seated himself in chair d.
rectly under the Eoose while the minister
proceeded to read the burial service of
the Lutheran Church.
1t was evident that Jacobson was
making extraordinary efforts TO maiut1in
his seif-control, as he c,asped his hands
tightly together, shutting his lips aud
looking upward In mute supplication.
Suddenly, just as the minister had
reached the words, "Lord, unto thy
hands we commend this man." the sun
burst brightly through the window over
the prisoners head and a robin, p rched
on the bars, began to MARBLE. The con-
demned man looked up at the heavens
through the window, and then pitifui
hook Of agony, which compelled even the
stony-hearted jail officials to turn away
their heads, settled on his countenaGce
and With groan the tears welled up III
to his eyes and coursed each other dowa
his iurrowed cheeks. For few moments
the sight was painful one. Then by a
strong effort he regained his composyre
and wished the pastor and jail oftici1ts
goodbye.
AS the white cap was about to be adj
justed, he said to the audience: "Good-
bye, boys" When the moose had been
placed in position he could be heard
through the linen calculating, "Lord
help and have mercy upon me-"
At 1906 precisely the drop fell. There
was momentary twitching OF the mus.
cles then all was still aud the murder
OF George Bedell had been avenged.

The Crime.

CHICAGO, ILL, September l9.-The
crime which Isaac Jacobson expiated was
cold-blooded and atrocious. On Tuesday
morning, April 20, 1884, George Bedell,
proprietor of carpet cleaning establish.
ment at 265 North Clarke street, was shot
dead before his store door by Jacobson,
whom he had employed the week pre-
vious to beat some carpets, and to whom
he had paid So, but who claimed 81 for
the work. Bedell was standing on the
sidewalk. Jacobson came walking up
the street. When within a couple
of PAGES OF his victim, he halted
suddenly. No words passed be.
tween the two men. Jacobson
clutched s revolver In his right hand.
Deliberately he raised the weapon and
Aired into Bedell's face, exclaimlng, as a
little girl standing near subsequently tes-
titled. "There you are" Bedel reeled
along the pavement few steps aud sank
on the stones dying in a few hours. The
report OF the pistol having died away,
Jacobson stood motionless, staring at his
victim and exclaiming, 81 did it, did
It,"
The next moment the hand of an officer
who CHANGED to be passing on a horse
car, was laid upon Jacobson's shoulder,
and he was led away to the police sta
ton. At the station the prisoner said
that he had really meant to kill Bedell on
account OF the one dollar which he said
was due him. He contented himself by
saying he was "goiug to the devil any
how"
The story he then told was that on the
preceding Thursday Bedell had employed
him to do job of carpet beating Tor So
day. At this he had worked on Friday
and Saturday. Monday he called to get
his pay, and Bedell gave him So. He de-
manded 81 more and was refused. He
left In anger saying he would make
Bedell pay dearly for the 81 Of which he
claimed to have been cheated. OF the
$S which he received he spent 81 for
lodging and breakfast and the other 50

committed the murder. He said that he

Jackson had the appearance OF shit,
less, dlssipated old man at that time. Ho
was rather tall and stout. built, and had n
shaggy beard OF light color, a blistered
and flushed face, light blue eyes and large
features. He had no fixed place OF resi-
dence In Chicago. He had been sailor
on the lakes until the close Of naviga
tlon, and later worked as a section hand
on the Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad at q
little town nine miles from south Chlca
