The Road Hnw.

BY special rcqucstof several Of our
readers, we republsh the commuta-
ton road law. 1t will bc seen from
careful reading of tic net, that ono
who pays is'uot exempt from road duty
n year from the time of pay
mcnt, but exempt from road duty
for tho year in which nal COM
mutation tax is paid.
1t appears that n man is not OK
empt until tho payment of the two
dollars, so paving after nc has been
warned to work will not excuse him:
The tro"s"rcr's receipt for the two
dollars must be in his pocket at the
time he is notified to work, or it will
not avail.

!. Mr. EDITOR: Knowing TINT your col
'tmns are OPEN co all those, who write in
the interest of education, again take up
my pen, hoping chat may be able to
say something that might have tenden-
cy TO awaken some one moro fully to tho
cause OF education. If / could only
arouse the teachers >nuf,; fully to the
work, feel that much would tIen be
accomplished. Teachers should kocp
| themselves abreast with the times. One
writer has correctly said: '"rhe progress
sive teacher ,f orr dny, is he, who socks
to develop and improve self, who studies
methods and principles rs laid down by
educators Of all aFc3 and countries, who
seeks by self culture to be broad and lib
cral and unbiased, worthy tho nnmo Of
teacher, and who then makos such nppli-
cation of the knowledge acquired as tho
wants of his own school dcmand."
Every teacher who expects to succeed
III his word must bt well verscd in the
latest and most approved methods of
teaching. Book knowledge il necessary
but book knowledge only, is not enough.
The teacher must read and obuorve. It
is great help to n teacher to read one
or more live educational Journals. They
cannot prepare themselves too we'll for
the noblo work in which thoy are en-
gagged, noble because he has to deal not
with hc'sFl""i clay, but with immortal
minds, which will live on after tho things
of this world shall have passed away, but
the impressions made upon the young
mind'will romain, and perhaps Influenced
its destiny in the world To come.
This Thought should cause the teach
CT to work with removed zeal and cncngy
such IA nothing clHo can "scitc. Anoth-
or good way for teachers to improve
themselves III the way of ilnparting
knowledge is to meet more frequently,
and cXchang" ideas, and methods Of

SO much, but what they can learn from
others, and sometimes from those whunl
they least expect it.

Washington letter to the News md

nance is rapidly clearing its docket
Of the internal revenue nominations
before it, and to-day asveed to report
fayorably nineteen cases for confr.
nation. Tho name of Col Bradley
does not appear upon the list, al
though Senator Butler asserts conf
IDENTITY that the objections that have
been urged against his confirmation
will eventually be overruled. In this
connection it is understood that sev
eral members of the South Caroline
delegation have received numerous
letters from persons applying for Mr.
Bradley's place, IN the event of his
fe1seFion by the senate. Such com
nunfcationS have received but little
consideration, as tho delegation dc

These resolutions which call on
the heads Of departments for rca
sons in regard to the removal of re-
publicans from Office passed the Ser
ate last Friday by a vote of 80 to 90,
three republicans voting with tie
democrats. We dare say the Yer
mont Senator is now ut the end Of
his row, and will find Tint he has
entirely failed in his purpose to lull-
doso or cntrap the President. The
resololutions could have bccn passed
by the same vote the next day after
they were submitted, but the r2pub-
Hcan Senators WlS!; t. exercise them
selves i'll political discussion, for the
entertainment Of the country. In
this they succeeded WELL but met
with the misfortune of having the
hypocracy Of Ny. EdmumIs, their
leader, laid open to inspection; for it
turned out that Edmunds, several
years ago, refused to consent to the
appointment of Dusliin because he
knew him to be unworthy, but as
Dusliln had been removed by dem
ocratic President, he must know the
reason why.

A French Female Soldier.

The grande nation prides itself On its
women soldiers, from Joan of Arc
downward. Here Is one Of the stories
which the Intermediate des Chercheurs
publishes as "reminiscences OF the
women who have fought in the French
army. The 9th regiment vas ordered
out on May 2, 1903, nea Lisbon, and
lost its colonel in the attack. Sergeant
Chesquiere. seeing his superior lying
beneath his horse under a large rug,
said to his comrades: 1.-The body OF a
colonel is the flag which belongs to q
regiment, and the 9th will keep its
own" The three vent toward the spot
where the wounded man lay, but the
two comrades were wounded on their
way, and remained behind. Chesquiere
arrived alone; but weak as no was, he
tried in vain to take the colonel on his
shoulders. Two English officers tried
to prevent him. The sergeant, grasp
ing his gun, wounded his assailants,
made them both prisoners, and with
their aid brought the colonel who still
breathed into the camp. Chesquiere
had received a slight wound in the left
ARM, and was taken TO his regiment.
Later on he was wounded in the chest
and brought before u surgeon, but
Chesquiere could not DO persuaded to
undergo the operation in public. This
valorous sergeant was a woman named
virginie C~hes9uiere, born at Delermont
nesr Lille. At the beginning of the
year 1906 she had joined the army in
the place of her twin brother who was
of a delicate constitution, and to whom
the hardships of n campaign would
have been fatal. She received a decor
alton from the hands of tho colonel she
had saved, and left the army at the end
OF 1912.
