THE TEACHERS DREAM.
The DAYS of June are rich and rare

The DAYS of June are rich and rare,
But, in the schools, are weary days;
The bright sun woos TO out door plays
The trees rejoice in sultry air,
But thought grows sluggish, and the child
Grows restless meath the scepter mild;
The teacher wearies Of her care
The drowsy breath Of June had famed
A teacher, tired Of her voice;
She loved the labor Of her choice,
Yet weary were her heart and hand
But in one moment visions rare
Had duickened heart and lghtened care,
One moment-vears in bright dreamland-
She saw a speaker, who began
To thrill the thro1g in accents bold
Brave, lofty were the truths he told;
Through all their hearts his spirit ran,
For goodness, honor, love he pleads,
Denouncing hate and wicked deeds;
He was her pupil-grown a man.
In dream she saw a lady mild,
With little children by her side.
The mother spoke wise words to guide
Her brood in virtue undefiled.
With trust look up the little birds,
The mother spoke the very words
The teacher taught her when a child.
Two men would lead a third astray.
They promise Office, gold and fame
If he will s-ain an honest name.
'No, =" said the noble man, away!
1t was not thus that l was taught"
How proud she felt The man unbought
Was boy Of hers in childhoods day

A survey of Westminster Abbey, taken
under the direction of the royal commits
sion, has made known the fact that there
still remain ninety places within the edi-
fee where interments may take place. BY
those members of the commission who are
opposed to anything in the form of an ad-
dition to the abbey, this fact is used as an
argument for letting things alone. 1t is
pointed out that taking the average of the
last century it will be long time before
these ninety places are filed up.-Ex-

STAGE GAGGING.
A Few Instances Where Interpola-
ton Is q Decided Advantage.

Chicago Tribune.
Arthur Beresford, an English gentle
man. is at the Richelieu. During talk
Saturday evening. he said: "a few days
ago | saw something in the Tribune
about a bill to license English actors.
Such bill has been presented to the
county council, but whether it will pass
or not is yet q question. In that bill
there was clause which would have
provided punishment for an actor for
gagging. In a forcible and logical
speech Hon. Augustus Harris killed
that clause, and it's well he did,
for what would nearly all of our actors
do il they were not permitted to slip
some joke or local hit into their lines.
You might as we'll retire Mr.. Toole and
Mr.. Penley from the stage If they were
debarred from gagging. Your De Wolf

win and nearly all the rest would be
staid actors if they were not allowed to
ramble about, as it were. Our late Mr..
Blackstone introduced a gag into She
Stops to Conquer One of the clever
est bits in English dramatic literature,
now classical, is nothing buta gag intro
duced into the text. There is not one
person in hundred who knows that
the comic sermon delivered by Nav
worm in Blckerstaffe's 'Hypocrite' is
not in the original. 1t was introduced
for the first time on the opening night
OF sthe Lyceum, in 1909, by Charles
Matthews. He was reciting his lines,
when he suddenly branched off and
spoke the very words OF a Methodist
minister, perfectly initiating the voice
and gestures. The gag was such a won
dro us success that you never see the
.'Hypocrite' without listening to the
from gagging would be like dispensing
with the credit system in business"

CHANGE or TITLE.

To the common citizen OF this country
it seems of the smallest consequence
whether the gentlemen who go abroad
to talk diplomatic taffy to the dignitaries
are called by one title or another. There
has been an effort for years to induce
congress to adopt the nomenclature of
other lands, AMI it is expected that this
session of congress will authorize the
designation OF ambassad in place of
minister OF envoy eXtrao rdinary, at
least at the chief courts Of Europe.
The argument in favor'of the change is
that ambassador is the highest recog-
nIzed title for a diplomatic representa-
tive all over the world, and in most of
the courts favor goes by style and
tinselry. This is more especially true
of the oriental and more barbaric
countries, but it can hardly be ma
teriaI in England, France, Ger many,
Austria, Italy and Russia. These are
the great powers, and with which
this country has its chief dealings.
They are too nearly enlightened to be
influenced by mere verbal pomposity,
when they know what the plain citizen
of the great republic represents. But
the proposition is to confine the term at
first to the representatives to these
powers. 1t was in the court Of the sui
tan that Minister Cox said he was
halted in the outer halls until all the
ambassadors from the petty states and
provinces all over the world had had
their innings. 1t would follow then that
il part OF the diplomatists sent abroad
are to have the aromatic and royalty
favored appellation, it should be the
portion sent to the kingIY ignoramuses.
A representative to some royal nibs in
Africa or the interior of Asia might
have all the titles he could remember,
but with the civilized and progressive
nations it is doubtful il any verbiage Of
this sort would promote the standing
and influence of the United States.

WILD TURKEYS.
They Are Reported TO Be Plenti-
full in Perry County.

They Are Reported TO Be Pienti-
full in Perry County.
New York Sun.
Most fishermen who visited the
mountains of Perry and Miffiin coun-
ties on the opening day of the season
returned with the cheering news to
hunters that wild turkeys promise to be
more abundant during the coming sea-
son than they have been in thirty years.
This noble game bird has always been
more or less plentiful in the Central
Pennsylvania counties, especially in
Perry county, and it is singular fact
that this region is now the only one
where the wild turkey is found east of
the Mississippi river. The news that
now comes from thar county through
the trout fishermen is that many turkey
hens with newly Matched broods were
disturbed in their hiding places by the
fishermen as they passed along the
streams. something that has been of
rare occurrence for many years. One
fisherman saw five old hens, each with
a large broad, flashing away through
the underbrush, while he was fishing
over a distance of less than mile, and
native residents reported that scarce
ly day has passed this spring
that the early morning calls of turkey
cocks have not been heard in all parts
of the woods. The wildcat. the fox
and the hawk, natural and implacable
enemies of the turkey, will, of course,
sadly thin out the young broods before
they succeed to the power of flight and
attain size and plumpness that make
them rare prizes for the hunter. but for
all that the promise of turkey shooting
in the JunIata valley and the cOntigu-
Gus hills is such as to awaken anticipa-
ton among sportSmen hereabouts that
the younger of them never enjoyed be-
fore.

A BALLOT POINT.

The fact that in the late municipal
election there were thousand and more
votes cast for the mayor than most
other names on the ticket may be pre-
sumed to be mainly due to the neglig-
ence and plumbers of the voters, as
rule. Very few failed oplace the cross
against the choice for mayor, and then
in the eagernesS to help out some favor
lite for alderman or other Office, the
second name was crossed. This of
course lost the vote for all other candi
dates. Possibly there were cases where
it was the intention OF the voter to SUP
port names for only portion of the
positions, but this class must be small.
The greater number no doubt had an
impression that the rest of the ticket
would be counted for the same party
indicated in the choice of mayor.
To obyiate this seeming objec-
ton to the law, some would
have the more common require
ment that only the names crossed shall
be counted. This is the case in Massa
ehuSetts, and it will be remembered
that, even in state where the voters
are supposed to be exceptionally intelli
gent and patriotic, they did not all sue
coed in voting whole ticket. All the
candidates below the governor fell off,
until at the bottom the shortage eX-
ceeded 5000 votes. Gen. BUTLER took
the romantic view that it was a scheme
to disfranchise voters. 1t was evidently
the result of indifference, rather than
plumbers, in that case. The ballot
choppers would not take the trouble to
check the other names, and this dsin
clinatIon increased as the ticket was
followed down. Neither method will
do full work until thu voters become
more familiar with it. There are a
great many who have always been so in
the habit of having their tickets pre-
pared for them by others that they feel
lost when the duty is forced upon
them. The system will gradually edu-
cate the voters to entire self-dependence
in this matter, and there will be less
proxy and mercenary work in the bal

Spelling raE THEORIES.

The hardest blow the attempt to put
the South in the grip of federal officials
in its elections has received is in the
statement before the congressional CON-
mittee, by JOHN L.. DAVENPORT. a few
days ago. He is the famous Republican
expert in election matters, and has been
the highest possible authority with Re-
publicans. He told these gentlemen
that 1t they gained anything at the
South, which was doubtful, they would
lose much more in the North. Ii il
wouldn't help elect more Republicans,
OF course it is not wanted. Purity of
the ballot and honest elections are but
Republican ways of saying that they
must get their men in. Not less disas-
trous to Republican theories was DAvEN-
PORT when he also told the committee
that elections in New York city are
COW absolutely honest" He had been
the federal supervisor of them, and
could not be disputed. This seems to
spoil for Republican use their great OBJ
ject lesson in Democratic depravity.

NanOIeOn.

A valuable railroad 'hand." who, in
spite of his services, probably receives
no salary, is thus described in the Sci
entific American. He resides at Salida,
Col, and belongs to an engineer Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad:
Napoleon has been engaged for the
past two and half years in helping his
master run Locomotive No. ST. His
apprenticeship began at the age of
six months, and he can now go
into the round house, where twenty
eight engines are kept, single out and
mount his own machine, and, in the alb
sence of his master and the fireman, de-
fend it against all intruders. He rides
on the fireman's side of the cab. with
both his front paws and his head hang
ing out of the window, intently watch
ing the track.
He often scents cattle at long dis
lance. When they appear in sight he
becomes greatly excited, and looks first
at them and then at his master. as though
trying to make the latter understand
the gravity of the situation.
On nearer approach to them he
gives a cry similar to that of a human
being. If it is found necessary to come
to full stop, he bounds out of the cab,
runs ahead and drives the trespasserS
out of harms way.
When it is desirable to communicate
with the pumping stations. frequently
at long distances from the track, a note
is written and given to the dog, who de-
livers it speedily and returns with
reply.
He readily interprets signals to start
from his own engine, but pays no more
attention to the whistles and bells of
other locomotives than to the cattle
which are safely grazing by the road
side. Ii accidentally left at any of the
stations, he returns to Salida by the
next train.

Murdered His Father.

New York Times.
A sad case has just come to close in
the Vienna criminal courts. In the dis
trict of Bagozzi. near Rovigno, lived a
farmer named Michael Calcich, aged
fifty-two, with his two sons. They were
happy enough together, till Lucia
Kubic, peasant girl of eighteen, came
as servant. Lucia was pretty girl,
but coquette. Both father and eldest
son fell in love with her. Stormy
scenes passed between father and
son until, to put a stop to them, the
father determined to dismiss the girl.
One morning, when all except Michael
Calcich, Jr. were asleep, the father sad
died his horse and rode to RovignO.
Toward evening his horse, still saddled,
but without bride and riderless, trotted
into the little courtyard. A search
was made for the elder Calcich, and his
body was found in wood, in a
pool of blood. Five wounds in his
head left no doubt as to the manner
of his death. Suspicion fell upon
his son Michael, the motive being jeal-
ousy of the servant. Michael denied
any connection with the murder, and
sought to incriminate the servants. His
demeanor in the dock was regarded as
unsatisfactory. The girl was not a
credible witness, for it appeared that
not only had she carried on an intimacy
with father and son, but had firted
with servant. After patient trial.
the jury pronounced Michael Calcich
guilty of the murder, and the judge SEN
fenced him to death.

AColt That Joined a Herd of Deer

Portland Oregonian.
This weeks issue OF the Milton Eagle
contains the account of a curious Cir
cumstance that occurred few miles
from this city, and which is vouched
for by one of our leading and most re-
spected citizens.
William Nichols, of Milton, when
gathering his horses from the range last
fall, found that favorite Percheron
colt was missing, and all efforts to find
him proved unavailing, so the animal
was abandoned to its fate. which no
one doubted would be that of the vast
number that have found their way into
the equine paradise through the inclem-
Grey Of the present unusually severe
winter. During the present week Mr..
Nichols, accompanied by another gen
tleman, while hunting deer among the
mountains that form the source of the
Walia Walla river, started band of
seventeen blacktalls from deep canon,
and, to their surprise, observed a year
apparently as frightened as the
deer themselves. Although the
colt had acquired their wildness
by association, he lacked the
speed of those mountain climbers,
and was soon left far behind in the mad
scramble over the rugged hills. The
gentlemen, who were well mounted. pur-
sued and overlook the colt, which proved
to be Mr.. Nichols Percheron.
From the fact that tracks of the colt
following the trail of the deer were
seen in several instances, and other cyl
dences that were to be seen, 1t is be-
lieved that it had spent the entire win
ter with strange companions, and pro-
longed its existence by following the
guidance of the excellent instinct of
the deer in search of food when the
SNOW WAS deem.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

The Evening Dispatch. whose loyalty
to its party ticket during the recent
municipal campaign entities it to recog
milton as the organ of the st. Paul Re-
pubIieans, rises ABOVE the horizon of
the partisan to say these kind words of
the GLOBE: I'VE extend our congratu-
Iations to our Democratic brethren, in
that through their recognized organ, the
GLOBE, they have made campaign ina
manner entirely worthy of the success
which they have achieved"
The GLOBE duly appreciates the
graceful compliment contained i'll the
above, and with becoming modesty rec
ognizes the truthfulness of the nice
things that are said of us; yet we do
protest against being designated IAN
organ" The GLOBE is a NEWSPAPER
in the true sense of the term. We be-
lleve III Democratic principles. and al
ways advocate the election of Demo-
cratic candidates when they are worthy
of support. But we wear no mans
collar nor submit to any ones dictation.
Our business is to gather the news and
give it to our patrons without fear,
favor or affection. Our aim is to be
just, and to treat men and measures
fairly. Whether in campaign or out
of it, the GLOBE can always be relied
on to be clean, crisp and conservative
in its treatment of all public matters.
