a Cool Head.

At one time Ben. Butler, then living
in Lowell, was chairman of q meeting
held in the town hall, says the Albany
Times. Rufus Choate, the great orator
and jurist, was booked for an address.
The hall was filled-packed, in fact,
with many thousand people. Mr.. Choate
was about to begin his address when
man crawled up to Butler and whispered
to him that the joists in the floor and the
supporting beams we're giving away be-
cause of the heavy pressure on the floor,
and they were likely to collapse at any
moment and loss of life ensure. Butler
turned to the man and whispered to him:
"Keep quiet" Then turning to the au-
dience he said: "Ladies and Gentlemen
We are assembled to hear the match
less oratory of the great Rufus Choate.
A man has brought me information that
outside of this hall there are not less than
10000 people, who are clamoriug for ad.
mission. Now I don't think it will be
fair for us to monopolize the utterances
of Mr.. Choate, and therefore propose
to adjourn this meeting to the common
where all can hear him. Now follow my
advice and We can get out quickly and
easily without any difficulty. You men
down in the back rows next the doors,
arise, leave your seats and leave the hail.
AS soon as you have gone the next row
to rise and do the same, and so on until
we leave the hall. Now start along there
and Just see how quickly we can empty
this hail." Meanwhile Choate was tug.
Cling at Buffers coat-tails and saying:
"Ben, don't! Stop, Ben! Why bless me,
man, I can't speak without my manu-
script; can't see to read on the COM
mon my voice won't carry in the air; l
can't make them hear," and SO on. AT.
ter so much of the audience had left that
Butler was satisfied that the strain on
the timbsrs supporting the floor had been
relieved, be turned around to Choate and
said: "say. Choate, would you rather
deliver this speech in this hall or in
hell ?"

workmen in that same factory, if he gets
5 per cent. increase for making pocket

Better Schools Needed.

telephones and daily mails it is expect
ed that the schools should keep pace
with all other education facilities. But
they are not up with the times. What is
the matter with the people?
In many neighborhoods the children
have no better opportunity for receiv.
ing all education than they had from lS4O
to 1860 For this state of affairs no one
is to blame except the parents. They
are too lazy and Indifferent, in some
neigh borboods, to build comfortable
school houses. They are too mean to
furnish them when built. If they have
a comfortable house they will not en-
ploy teacher for eight or ten months.
Or if they get one, the pay is SO small
that the teacher could make as much 10
cotton mill.
A house 22x30 will accommodate so
pupils. There will be room for 20 dou'
BILE desks. The house we'll built and
ceiled or plsstered, with good heating
stove would cost about $3.50. The 20
desks would cost $50 to SIS. This is
small investment when one consider. the
many benefits to be derived.
A good school house with good teach.
er means a great uplift in the neighbor-
hood. Ignorance and prejudice will
gradually give way to intelligence and
liberal opinions. The tendency Of the
boys and girls will be upward and not
downward. Homes will be made more
attractive. Slouchy, dirty housekeeping
will disappear in families where bright
children are studying and learning some.
thing.
Itis an easy matter to secure and keep
a good school s to 10 months. A fair
teacher can be secured for 5000 and
board. The public school fund will pay
frat grade teacher about SlOO. Then
the patrons will have to furnish board
and $1OO in order to keep up the school
1t is cheaper to employ $500 teacher,
however, for the advantages will more
than compensate for the increased pay.
The neighborhood that can furnish
20 to 30 children of school age should
certainly have q good school. If they
fail they vote for ignorance instead of
knowledge, vice instead of virtue, degra-
dation of their children instead of their
respectahility and usefulness.

We commend to our readers, and the
teachers especially, the second Memory
Gem at the head of this column. We
do need "soul inspired manhood back
of words" and truth dwelling regularly
in the life" more than mere words on the
lips. How low and pitiable is that per-
son whose words cannot be believed, and
that life which is chain of deception and
falsehocd from one end to the other.
The world is not made better by such. a
man should be measured by what he is,
and not what be says be is. His life is
generally pretty true history of what
be is. He may declare to the contrary,
and endeavor to prove that it is other
wise, but the world generally believes a
mans life rather. than his words, when
they disagree.
