The above story is told in few lines. To
expatiate on the fear she must have under
gone, the great strain on her delicate con-
stitution in performing the arduous tasks
and the intrinsic value of this brave girl
would fill volume, the size of which would
rival the prescription book in an apothecarie's
shop. Suffice to say. for genuine bravery, she
is standing on the Eiffel tower looking down
on Juan of Arc in the deepest abyss. And
she don't live in some foreign country with
poetic name either, but right here in old

For an answer, ask the primary, fussy little
girl who dons frock and comes to school,
bringing with her all the eccentricities and
uncharitableness of a mother, who, per-
chance. may have taught school herself at
one time, and who has inwardly and outward
ly Ito few neighbors) resolved to "keep her
eye on that teacher" The fussy and prim
little girl is instructed to remember every
thing that takes place in the school room and
give to her busy-body of mother a graphic
description of it all at the end of each day.
The fussy and prim little girl endeavors to
fulfill her inquisitive mothers injunctions,
and as result, develops before long into q
fussy and prim little liar. Small happen
ings, and in themselves nothing, are painted
by the misguided child in glowing colors.
Aha the mother has got that teacher just
where she wants her. She will see once and
for all who runs that child; the ;mpudent
school teacher will have to be called down.
Hastily going to the school house while
school is in session she gives the teacher a
tongue lashing efore the whole school and
goes home we'll content with her "spunk in
standing up for her dear child's rights"
Then when she meets this school teacher on
the street she never speaks" bat walks
sprusely by with nose inclined at an angle of
45dg; all of which does not tend to make the
teacher feel easy.

For an answer, ask the daredevil youth
with outward appearance showing luxury
and self will at athome, who is sent to school
not to learn, but to give mamma" a rest,
and whose sole ambition is to lead in wrong
doing. From the moment hel enters the
primary room he hates his teacher with an
almost implacable hatred, which any amount
of kindness will not assuage; and he will
leave the high school with the same esteem" !"
provided he keeps swindling the gallows un.
til this grade is reached.

For an answer, ask the insolent and over
bearing intermediate pupils, who comprise
three-fourths that grade. To them the
teacher is tireless machine-an ever wound
up engine with each of the 40 engineers mani
pulating throttle; and woe be it to this
fancied automaton should it not respond to
the opening of each throttle. They, like the
fussy and prim child of the primaries, are
eager to misrepresent to gossipping parents
conventionalities of the school room which,
after passing through these two biased chan
nels, appear to the world distorted into all
but heinous crime.

For an answer, also interview the egotisti-
cal occupants of the high school who have
fallen a victim to the condition described by
Pope as, "A little knowledge is a dangerous
thing" etc. knowledge by induction be-
comes dead -letter-all wise things that have
been or will be are possessed by the high
school pupil through an intuitive route.
This supposed knowledge reaches its climax
on commencement eve and then-commen-
ces to steadily decline, and before the sum-
is over the male graduate looks back upon
his high school course of years and fgura-
lively kicks himself for endeavoring to in
struct his teacher during that time, while a
vague realization futters through the girl
graduates empty dome of knowledge that
something is wrong and that she don't know
little bit. The high school teacher has been
realizing this same fact for four years and
struggling against results which she forsees.
Knowing that her pupils are absorbed with
criticism, the latest necktie or latest coquet-
tish smirk, the conscientious teacher will
worry, and worry is overloaded with fatigue.

1t was sometime since that man come to
tragic death. The news flashed over the
community, and later on six men carried the
unfortunate home, distance of several miles
in the country. In this, as in all other cases
of singular nature, every one thought that
everyone else was at the home of the bereft
with consolation and aid. The result was
said bereaved ones we're alone. A young girl
16 years of age stopped in the house of grief
late at night and found this condition of af-
fairs. The family was prostrated and six
hungry men, the bearers of the inanimate,
also Frustrated hunger. What did this
frail 16 year old do? She did what most 60
year old undertakers would not have done.
Hastily taking in the situation she cooked
supper for the men and worked like beaver
performing other necessary duties after the
men had departed. The undertaken arrived.

For an answer, ask outsiders who pay no
taxes, contribute none to thu support of the
schools and were never known to send their
children, but who are eager to seize and en-
large upon what is none of their business.
This class causes the martyred school ma'am
more trouble than all the rest combined; for,
possessing some political influence, it is one
to be feared. All teachers labor not for love,
but the money there is in it. Their positions
are retained only by courting all classes, the
ill-will of one Of which is sufficiently potent
to secure removal.

now TO KEEP ROSY.

A Way That Works Famouely with One
Little Woman.
~ don't understand how you can
work so hard and yet grow 80 plump
and rosy" was the remark made to a
woman long time ago worn out by mis-
sionary labor in the far west, and who,
against the advice of friends, immedi-
ately took up work in a downtown
mission house.
81 think it is because the sisters take
such good care of me-" was the laugh
ing reply. "You know when I was at
home and when l was working in the
west would keep on for hours and
hours without eating. Here I can't do
so, for the sister in charge just comes
and sends me to my lunch.
"On two mornings of the week l rise
at six o'clock. always have cup of
coffee and a roll at once. Breakfast is
at 8:15. We have oatmeal, eggs, rolls
and coffee. Some time between 10 and
II o'clock they make me take glass of
milk and bread or sweat cracker. At
1:30 we have our dinner of meat, vege-
tables and plain pudding. In the mid
die of the afternoon there is cup Of
tea and cracker, and at $50 a nice
light supper of cocoa or tea, graham or
white bread, croquettes of some sort or
cold meat, lettuce and prunes or baked
apples.
"At9o'clock, just before going to bed,
1 have another glass of milk and a roll.
You see this way of doing gives one
some sort of nourishment at intervals
of two or three hours all through the
day, and am beginning to think it a
very sensible rule, especially for hard
working people like myself" and away
tripped brisk little woman with a re-
juvenated complexion.

1t is stated by several exchanges that
"feet socials" are the latest, and the way
a "feet social" is worked is this: ''The
girls take off their stockings and hide
behind screens with nothing but their
pink and white ankles and toes visible.
The boys make selection among the
bewitching anatomical displays and
the owner of the pair of feet he picks
out has to be taken to supper" If this
be fact, II simply goes to show that

others with sickening idiots who place
