Laughing at the Teacher.

The adage: ats easier said than
done" is only a variation on what we
are constantly observing in life of the
difference between theory and practice.
We may be fully equipped with a theory,
and ever ready glibiy to cxpound it,
though when the occasion arises for
putting it into practice VIC forget all
about it. .
The teacher of chemistry in a large
public school was s~peakingto his class of
the properties of a particular acid. In
oac hand he helda glass vessel filled with
the acid in question: in the other he he'd
a stick of chalk with which he had Just
been writing a chemical formula on the
blackboard.
BY the way" he said, addressing his
class. Il may remark here, that should
any of You by accident spill any Of this
acid on Your hands, l should ;dvisc you
not to give way to the very natural I'M
pulse to rub it off with your pocket
handkerchief. Take a piece of chalk in
stantly, and rub 1t over the wet surface,
anil the chalk will neutralize the effects
Of the acid
Just then, by an accidental movement,
he spilled the acid on his own hand.
Quick as a slot he dropped the piece of
chalk which he held in his hand, pulled
oIt his pocket handkerchief, and be
gan rubbing the injured hand vigor-
ouslv.
Everybody who was present laughed
at this unexpected application of theo-
retical knowledge; and after a bewil-
dcrtd glance round the room the teacher
laughed, too.
The demonstration of the difference
between theoretical knowledge and
practical efficiency was complete.

Do Girls, Do.

Do be natural. A poor diamond is
better than a good imitation.
Do try to be sensible; it is not a par
ticular sign of superiority to talk like a
fool.
Do observe. The faculty Of observa-
ton, we'll cultivated, makes practical
men and m
Do avoid causes of irritation in Your
family circle: reflect that home is the
place to be agreeable.
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
mother to.know better than you do. She
was educated before you were born.
Do be ready in time for church: if
YOU do not respect yourself sufficiently to
be punctual, respect the feelings Of other
people.
EDo be truthful; do avoid cxaggeration.
If you mean a mile, say a mile, not a
mile and a half. If you mean one, say
one, and not a dozen. ,
Do be contented: martyrs are de
tc>tablc; a cheerful, happy spirit is infec-
tious; you can carry it about with you
like a sunny atmosphere.
Do try to be accurate, not only fol-
your own sake, but for the sake Of your
sex. The incapacity Of the female mind
for accuracy is a standard argument
against the equality Of the sexes.
Do avoid whispering; it's as bad a
giggling. Both are to be condemned
there Is no excuse for either one Of them.
If YOU have anything to say. say it; il

LETTERS OF ADVICE
Sent to Mrs. Garfield by Stranger Cause
Ills Arrest.

CLEVELAND, O, Nov. 80.
Since last August Mrs. Garfield, wife of
the late President, has been greatly annoyed
AT her country home in Mentor by the receipt
of letters of advice, etc., from person sign
ing himself s. A. Bodde. Some time since
the man went TO the house, coolly walked
into the hallway and Inquired for Mrs. Gar
field or her daughter Mollie. A servant
asked him his name and business, and he pre-
sented a card bearing the name of the letter
~riter. The fellow was persuaded to leave
the house and upon going he promised to
write no more letters. As he went, however,
he turned and cursed all the members of the
household. For some time no letter was re-
ceived but recently the fellow began writing
again. Yesterday be once more appeared at
the Garfield farm and, on being refused per-
mission to see Mrs. Garfield, he swore as
before. He was followed from the house
and later placed under arrest at Painesville
Bodde is 80 years old and q native of Hol-
land. He formerly lived at Fort Wayne,
Ind. After an inquest in lunacy, the judge
decided that Bodde was not of q sufficiently
unsound mind to warrant his incarceration in
the asylum. He was therefore sent to the
county poor house for safe keeping.

Congressman W. r. Morrison lett here
this evening for Washington. He declined
to say anything about the contest or investi-
CATION except to d. clare that he would not
contest the election even If he were defeated
by majority of one vote. Ii is known to a
number of friends of Col Morrison in this
city that Speaker Carlisle desires an investi
CATION to be made Of the election in Morri-
sons district. Such an inquiry could be un
dertaken by resolution of the House. under
which special committee can be created.
This can be done without any contest being
made by Morrison. The object of such in.
vesligation would be the bearing it might
have in the next Presidential campaign. If
it Is made it will not be until Congress meets
In the meantime Col. Morrison intends to
follow the even tenor of his way during the
coming session, while at home his name is
being considered as that of candidate for

The Brunswick Maine Central depot came
near burning Sunday night 1t was just be-
fore midnight The watcbman, Willis Watts,

utes and WAS going to burst in the door when
the boy who opens the restaurant for the mid
night train came up the walk with the keys
The restaurant and waiting rooms were tull
of smoke. Fire hsd caught from the cook
ing range in the kitchen, and had burned a
hole through the partitions into the ladies'
waiting room big enough for man to crawl
through. They turned on the hose and ex-
tinguIshed it. AS is often the case, five min
utes more would have been too late. Ths
depot is one of the biggest and the restaur-
ant is one of the best appointed in the state.
1t was one of the wstchman's lucky streaks.

GERONIMO'S BAND
Sentenced to Imprl. onment in Florida for
Lie.
New YORK, Nov. 80.

New YORK, Nov. 30.
The follow ing special from w ashington ap-
pears in the World this morning.: The fate of
the Indians captured in Miles campaign is
practically settled. The President has ex-
amined the case very carefully, and decides
that lite confinement for all of these Indians
in Florida, where they can do no harm, will
be the most thorough punishment which can
he visited on them If the criminals among
them were to be singled no military COM
mission would have any authority to try
them. They would have to be turned over to
the civil authorities ia the place where the
crimes were committed.
1t would be travesty on justice to have
these Indians tried in Arzont or New Mexi-
CO. There is not a white man in either of
these territories who would sit on the Gaze,
involving the rights of an Indian, with any
kind of fairness. The conviction Of the Grim
inals would leave their families untouched
these families would train up their children
to avenpe the deaths of those who were pun
lshed and the result would be continuation
of the outlawry which for years has made life
and property so insecure in the two terrific
ries. The removal of the Indians to Florida
takes away nearly all of the families and
leaves no stock TO breed robbers and assassins
for the future. AS matter of fact, the FIVE
hundred Indians transferred to Florida have
been sentenced to lingering death. They
have been brought up in mountain countries,
accustomed to freedom in high attitudes.
Their transfer to and confinement in the
warm climate OF Florida will simply result in
their dying off like SO many sneep. Expert
enced army officers do not think there will be
one of them alive at the end of the next FIVE
wears.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80.
The secretary of the navy, today, accepted
the following bids for construction of the new
cruisers and gunboats.
Cruiser No. 9, Charleston, Union Iron
Works of San Francisco at Sl.0l7 500.
Cruiser No. 3, Baltimore, Cramp & Sons,
Philadel phia, 81, 1925, 900.
Gunboat No. 2, Columbia, Iron Works &
Dry Dock Co. of Baltimore. S242 900.
In the case of gunboet No. l, no decision
has yet been reached as between the bid of
Reede &. Sons, Baltimore, who propose to
construct the vessel according to the plans of
the department, and the bid of Cramp & Sons
of Philadelphia, whose proposal contemplates
the construction of the engines after their
own designs, although the Union Iron Work.
of San Francisco put 10 the lowest bid on
cruiser No. /, Newark. Yet as the figures
exceeded the maximum amount fixed in the
appropriation bill, the secretary was unable
to accept their bid. He will probably refer
the matter to Congress with a statement of
facts and recommend that the appropriation
for the construction of cruiser No. be in
creased, or that the government be authorized
to build the vessel at one of the navy yards.
