Chapman Eieb School

a Visit by the REFLECTOR represen-
tatiVe to the county high school at
Chapman showed the school to be pro-
crossing beyond all expectations. The
most sanguine scarcely dared hope for
more than fifty students. There are
now in attendance 76, from all parts of
the county, They are young men aud
women who are there for work and are
making every minute count for all that
is possible. The original study room
is overAowed and the assembly room is
used for the purpose Of study. In
order to accommodate tie pupils this
will probably Be TeSeated with large
desk chairs, The recitation rooms also
have proved altogether too small and
the taking out Of partitions seems
likely to be Decessary.
TIE re instructors are doing excellent
work and are enthuSing the students
with the love of learning for its own
sake. Literary societies have been Or
gained, receptions are held and every
thing is done to develOpe the social as
well as mental abilities of those en-
trusted to the school. We think the
most casual visitor will be impressed
with the sense of earnestness observ-
able in the schools work and will be
convinced that the county has done a
wise thing in preparing for the higher
education of its sons and daughters in
such a way that they will be encouraged
to go on to better things.

THE COBBLER'S DEFEAT.
'rispin Learns, to His sorrow. That Ap-
 pearanccs Are Dcceitful.

' We were sitting in front of David i sons grocery one summer afternoon when some one objcrvcd that "Old | Taylor was coming He was dried \ up, little old man, who might have been anywhere from fifty to one hun | dred years old, and he had d voice to remind you of broken glass rattling in q tin pan.
 "Now, boys,n said the village shoemaker, who was about forty five years old, and weighed one hundred and scvcnty-fve pounds. 'Ill show you some fun I'm going to scare old Taylor half to death.
 The old man drove up before any explanations could be sought, and, after hitching his old plug, he stood for minute to wipe the dust off his ancient plug hat with his elbow. The shoemaker took advantage of this to advance and say:
 "Uncle Taylor. it is over twenty years ago that l sold you pair Of boots on tick. They have never been paid for yet.
 They didn't fit, and they ncvor will be paid fur.' hotly replied the old man.
 'I have waited and waited" con- tinued the cobblcr, but my patience is finally exhausted. You must now pay me or I'll take it out Of your hide"
 "Goin' to lick mo, hcy" shouted Uncle Taylor, as he drew back step.
 "Pll have to, answered the cred itor.
 Then pitch right inn'
 "Will you pay?'
 "No, sirr'
 Uncle Taylor, hate to break you in two, but if you don't pay that old debt I'll-"
 Then come onI' squealed the old man, and with that he swung and caught the shoemaker on the jaw and laid him out. He followed it up by piling on, and he kicked, bit, scratched and pounded so vigorously that inside of three minutes the cobblcr was shout ing to us to take him off. He was a licked man. Instead of having fun with the old man, the old man had made circus of him. We hauled him into the shade of {, sugar hogshead and famed him with hat, and after about ten minutes he faintly re marked:
 Boys, was licked?"
 Right from the mark" we an- swered.
 And by Old Taylor aloneo" "Yes"
 Well, that shows how man can be mistaken he sighed For over twenty years l have fondly figured that l could lick that old cuss with my eyes shut and both hands tied behind me, and now he does me up in a fight of my own picking and with all my tackle clear. Please leave me alone for awhile, boys. My head swims and my body aches, and l want to reason it cut and find scme excuse for makiag fool of myself. IN. |. Sun.

IN EARLY SUMMER.

dewy hush upon waiting world. 9 gentle silence of the early morn, gre yet the queen Of night her robe hath furled,
 Ere yet tho day is born. uark! From the grove a burst of sudden song, A thousand tuneful voices join in the lay, Each tiny herald mid the joyful throng
 Procams tho coming day. The solemn owl from out the pine trees gloom With discontented mutterings wings her To the dm wood, where e'en at Garish noon
 Lurl shadows of the night Now light and darkness meet in final fray. The path of conflict dyed with crimson stain And flushed with victory, the god of day
 Renews his welcome reign. And, lavish with the ardor of his rays, With burning fever woes each bud and Who shrink and droop beneath his ardent gaze
 As hears the noontide hour I lie at case beneath a fragrant pine, Whose spreading branches make grateful gloom. And watch the sunshine play at hide and seek
 With every holding plume" And list cnraptured 10 the song of bird The brooks low murmur o CT it's nebbly bed The wind soft whisper scarce the leaves that stirred
 Soft as an angels tread. Each feathcry fern bends low her graceful crest
 To see her face within the langnd brook Which slldes without ripple on it's breast
 Through shade or sunny nook. Slowly the day god cilded chariot wheels Draw near their haven in the western sky; .And lenslhenng shadows, spectcr-like and grim.
 Along the landscape lie Worn out at last, with cares of royal state, Called by the pressure Of his burning crown, The wear!cd monarch hastes to abdicate,
 And lay his scepter down. Iris twilight now; the cow-bclIs tinkhng rhymes
 Blends sweetly with the song of vhtp-poor- will, And e'ening's queen, fair, gentle Luna, climbs
 Above tho eastern hill.
