wine looked like blood as the dancing
rays shone through it. The old man
was lost in happy reverie. and the young
man ventured to remind him that there
was snake story promised.
"True," said the old man, starting.
"I'm just coming to that. lost myself
thinking of those old days. There were
snakes then, and we had killed them.
Rattlers used to come out on the lodges
of rocks and lay in the hot sun. Cne
or two had come around the mill, and I
had shot one in our door yard. But
we thought nothing of that. People
living in the woods or in wild places get
used to things that would fill them with
horror in settled country. We ex-
pected to find snakes, and as long as
they kept their distance or gave us a
chance to shoot them when they got too
near we didn't mind them.
CAS- I told you, I fixed up things
around the house during the slack time.
One of the bits of furniture I knocked
together was bedstead. It was more
like broad lounge than bedstead, for
it had neither q head nor footboard.
One end was raised little like couch,
and that was the head. We had some
bearskins and blankets to sleep on, and
more blankets to cover us. It was a
big improvement on the floor where we
had been sleeping, and after days
hard work handling logs used to think
it about as comfortable q spot as ]
knew.
"Well, it got along into the fall and
we began to have chilly nights. The
equinoctial gave us big rain and for q
fortnight I had all the water I could use,
Then it got dry again. One afternoon,
after several days of threatening wealth
or, it began to rain. Hour after hour The
rain came down till about 9 o'clock in
the evening, when it suddenly cleared
off and turned cold. It was. late in
October, and we kept q fire burning on
the hearth nights, more for the babyf
sake than for our own. Our bed was
parallel with the fireplace. and stood

Ex-Auditor Pfafr Wins His Suit.

The suit Of ex-Auditor Pfaff to recover from
the county $796.34, for care of the school fund
during his term of office, came up before Judge
Walker, yesterday, and he called in the other
two Superior Court judges to consider the case
with him, it being agreed by both parties that
their decision should be final. County Attorney
Woollen, in his answer to the complaint, claimed
that the Auditor was only entitled to per cent
of the amount of the school fund actually
loaned and that he was entitled to this but
once, and not annually The demurrer to the
answer claimed that the law allowed the Auditor
per cent. annually of the entire school fund,
and this was unanimously sustained by the
three judges Judgment was rendered against
the county for 1896. a.

SURPRISING HISTORY.
The Commissioners Surprised that the War
History Is Not Taught in the Schools.

The publication by the News of Saturday of
the fact that the history of the war of the rebel
lion is not taught in the public schools of the
city has been received with no little surprise by
the public, by whom the contrary had been un-
derstood wherever it had been considered at all
Inquiries by the reporters of that paper have de-
veloped the fact that several, if not all Of the
commissioners, and Superintendent Tarbell
were entirely ignorant of the fact that the omis-
sion was being made, but none of them are in
clined to talk about the matter. Commissioner
Carey places the responsibility for the
fault if fault it is, upon the
shoulders of Assistant Superintendent Mills
who has charge of that branch of instruction.
Commissioner Frenzel expressed surprise that
the history of the war was not taught
and regarded it as very singular that
Superintendent Tarbell did not know of the sup
preston, and that it had been concealed from
the committee. He had been so engrossed with
other matters, he said, since he had become a
member of the board, that he had never given a
thorough examination to the course of instruc-
ton.
Commissioners Thompson and Bell also ex-
pressed surprise on learning of the matter, and
the latter said that he had always supposed it
was taught. ''When we adopt a text book of
any kind, said he sit is with the understanding
that it is all to be taught. / never knew of an
other case where any part of "a book used in the
schools was eliminated, and L am certain there
has never been rule adopted since have been
a member to prohibit the teaching of the war
When we adopted the Eclectic History made a
careful review of it. and there was nothing said
about any elimination. When George p Brown
was superintendent, / am told that, at grade
meeting it was decided that exceptions might be
taken to the account Of the war in the history
used, and that it was policy to omit it. That
was nine or ten years ago, and may have been
the origin of the custom. 1 am, Of course, in
favor Of teaching American history to as near
the present time as possible, and that is why
voted to adopt the histories now in use. They
extended to the beginning of Arthur's admins
tIation."
Rev N. A. Hyde, who was for several years
member Of the board and a member of the
committee text books, stated that he regarded
it as little short of treason for Prof. Mills to
suppress the history of the war, and thought
that the latter had owed it to the committee to
apprise them of the fact that it was being sup
pressed. The idea was preposterous, he thought.
He expressed desire to see the matter sfted in
order that the responsibility for the matter might
be properly located.

Mr. Bright urges Parliament to pass the lin

Mr., Bright urges Parliament to pass the bill
legalizing marriage with deceased wifes sister,
in order that Parliament may 'affirm by an en-
the men and women Of this country in the chief
concern of their lives" But the whole institu-
ton and sacredness of marriage is an abridg-
ment of the principle of personal liberty in the
concern in question Every limitation of choice
in marriage is an abridgement of the principle of
personal liberty; but there needs more delcacy
of perception, more civilization, to understand
and accept its abridgement in some cases than in
others. Very many in the lower class in this
country and many in the middle class-the civ
ilization and the capacity for delicate perception
in these classes being what they are-fail to I'M
derstand and accept the prohibition to marry
their deceased wife's sister. That they ought
not to marry their brothers wife they can per
ceive; that they ought not to marry their wife's
sister they cannot.

The alimentary secret of the life of civilized
man Is by no means possessed by the friends of
temperance as we now see them, either here or

district in France, will surely feel, if he is not
fanatic, that the civilized man of the future is
more likely to adopt their beverage than to eat
and drink like Dr. Richardson

the moral fiber of the English race; monochrome

The middle class in both England and ireland
is the worst schooled middle class in western
Europe. Surely it must make difference to
the civilization of middle class whether it is
brought up in ignoble schools, where the instruc-
ton is nearly worthless; or in schools of high
standing, where the boy is carried through a
well-chosen course of the best that has been
known and said in the world.

1t seems to me that the natural function is
gone for which an aristOcratic class, with great
landed estates, were required; and that, when
the function is gone, and the great estates, with
an infinitely multiplied power of ministering to
mere pleasure and indulgence remain, the class
owning them inevitably comes to be material
lied, and the more so the development of indus
try and ingenuity auglnents the means fluxury
I believe that, with splendid qualities in this
nation at large, we at present tend to have our
higher class in general materialized, our middle
class vulgarzed, and our lower class brutalized
and that this tendency we owe to what Mr.
Gladstone calls our religion of inequality.
My objection to our aristocratic system is that
it SO previously mars and stunts both middle
class and our lower class.
