Tbare is a uice little story about a
Boston boy who threw a ball through
a window, and then Went honestly to
the owner of the house, confessed what
he had dom. and give him hi> fathers
address. 1t is well to circulate good
stories like these. as they frequently
stimulate other boys to 60 and do like
wise. A Danbuly boy who had read
this story was throwing stones at a dog
on White street, when a missile missed
its aim and flew through a four-dnllar
pane of glass. The first impulse of the
boy was to lift his feet and depart from
that neighborhood with .vehemence,
but the experience of the Boston boy
suddenly Came to him. and with it the
glow Of pleasure he had felt in perus
Ing it, and he made up his mind 1t
once that he would go to the man, tell
h IN whathe had done. and give him the
name of his father. 1t was a beautiful
may. a grand and inspiring scene,
this little pale-faced bnt honest-ev ed
boy humbly but firmly confes>ing the
wrong to the deeply affected merchant.
That evening the manly youth retu. n.
ed home. As he opened the door to
pass in. he felt himself suddenly grasp
ell by the collar and lifted into the air.
and then dropped down again with a
swiftness that startled him. And then

he had proved fruitful. He stud

began his business life as an opera
tor in Illinois. Gradually he rose
in this line OF. work until he be
came superintendent OF a railway
division, and this, too, before he
had reached his 10Th year. At the
age of 20 he entered the Confeder-
ate service as a private III the first
Texas regiment, was twice comrll-
mented in general orders for Ser
vices, and rose gradually to the
rank of major. AT the age of ~
he originated il plan for the organi
cation of a field transportation bu-
reau for the ConfedeIacy, which
was adopted at Richmond. aud the
close of the war found him chiet of
that bureau, in full charge west Of
the Mississippi river, aud with the
largest property account of any off
Ger in the Confederacy. The war
closed in May, 1865, and Bnrke's
business methods we're we'll illus
trated by the fact that he held the
certificates Of the auditing bulean
OF the Confederacy, showing that
his accounts had been received and
found correct to March 81, 1865.
Penniless, he commenced life
anew in Galveston, Tex. as a tele
graph operator for the Western
Union at a salary of SIS per month.
Within a few months he wasplac, d

acquired a fortune, lost it and came

Failing to ecu employment in
commercial pursuits aud disdain

He subsequently became agent of
the Jackson raill Dad aud made an
excellent reputation with the bust

the business of that company and
adjusting long-standing claims.

Teachers Institute.

A cordial invitation is hereby extend.
ed to the friends of educational work in
this and adjoining counties, the invita-
ton, however. having especial reference
to the tee Cheers OF Yankton county to
convene in institute work at the court
house in the city of Yankton for six
days commencing Monday. August the
10th, at 8 q. IN.
l propose III the work OF this institute
to mainly discuss the relation of each of
Its parts to the aggregate work OF the
school.
/ have ever observed that the most
earnest teacher is invariably his own
most earnest student. 1t is the illumin-
elton of this light gathered from your
careful study, teachers, while / ask you
now TO shed over the work Of erecting
this institute to the profession.
Wherever practicable teachers will
in q few days be reached by special
invitation, outlining the work. When
this is not feasible I will feel profound
~ grateful to have others invite this IN
vitation by favoriDg me with their
names.
Public patronage, parental duty, the
work OF the officer, the Office of the
teacher, the relation of the pupil and
the applicability OF the law are q few of
the subjects which should interchange
their ~sslutations with the years ex-
perienoe. To this end I have projected
this meeting OF our teachers to discuss
with me my criticisms, favorable or
otherwise, on their school work in the
respective districts to which they
were severally assigned in the year nov
closing. During my recent inspection
which, ~andeavored to make complete /
at least, succeeded in making my OBJ.
servations minute. Hence this cali.
l have excellent reasons for requiring
that prospective applicants for schools
in Yankton county during the approach
ing year should attend this convocation
of our teachers. 1t has been proposed
to me to make it arch the avenue to
every school in my charge. I do not
believe this necessary, though willing to
believe it wise, and therefore and thus
earnestly invite the attendance which I
am unwilling to enforce.
Al teachers, local or otherwise, likely
to lend yonr presence to the institute or
your talents to its aid, permit me to
urge you to at once send in your names
for registration. I am authorized to
guarantee the inequalities of our
hospitable people to attendants and
would much dislike to have you thought
responsible if / invoked it injudicIously.
Teachers, | have ever observed that
the most earnest teacher is invariably
his WI closest student and in this light
L must invite your experience to my aid
in the work of erecting this institute to
the profession. Very truly yonr friend
