SKILLED SUPERVISION.

New York, Pennsylvania, and many
of the Western States have county super
yisors. Massachusetts, allows several
towns to unite aud hire a superintend-
ent, the State paying half or more Of
the expenses. This State must adopt
one of these plans and abide by it. The
rural schools need good supervision as
much as the village or city schools.
FREE PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
If a child or youth is ever in need OF a
guide it is in making a choice of what
he will read. 1t has been proved in
mary schools that competent teacher,
with few choice books, can do much to
aid the pupil in forming taste, love
of good literature. A good book has
often been a more potent and beneficial
force than any other in imparting a
moral or intellectual impulse to the
young. DIR. McCosh in his Psychology
says: "History and biography reveal in
cidents which excite the imagination,
and youth should be made acquainted
with them, Those who would
train the mind to its highest capacity
must furnish to the young the record OF
deeds of heroism, of benevolence, OF
self-sacrifce, of courage to resist the
evil and maintain the good. Friendship,
fidelity, patriotism and piety must be
presented in their most attractive
FORMS" From an educational stand.
point, the truth in Surgeons assertion
''Heart is power" is greater than that
in the assertion, knowledge is power.
Again, assert that good literature il

acter. Prior to 1890, 95 per cent of al
the people in Massachusetts had access
to free public libraries. There wert
then 1903 small rural towns without Ii

would annually appropriate $50 for tn,
same purpose. 1t has been reported
within few days that there were nov
only % towns in that State without
free public library. There ought to be
free public library in every town in thi
State. The benefit to the schools woulI
be incalculable. A tax of one per cen
on the Grand list, with the income of tn
Huntington fund, would give each tow
more than 500. The books should b

WELLINGTON, Kan, May 31.--Wel.
lingtons cyclone visitation has made ii
for the time being the chief object of
interest for all southern Kansas.
No such crowds have visited this CITY
before as those which since the
earliest daylight have been pouring in
on every railroad and highway. On all
its four lines centering here the Santa
Fe run excursions from as far north as
Hutchinson, south from Arkansas City
and west from Medicine Lodge, while
the Rock Island was equally industrious
in forwarding sightseers to the stricken
city.
1t is the common remark of those
who have witnessed similar scenes, that
in the extent and completeness of the
destruction it transcends anything in
their experience. Other like calamities
have beenLsttended with greater loss of
life, but rarely has a picture of such
utter desolation and ruin been presented
as that of the scene of the devastated
district. The miracle of it all is that
the loss of life was not fourfold greater.
This is attributed to the fact that the
churches, business blocks, practically
deserted except the two hotels where
eight of the ten casualties 80 far re-
ported occurred,
All the injured are in fair way to
recovery, except Mrs. Murphy, the aged
lady who was taken from the burning
ruins of the Cole-Robin's block and
Jesse Brown, the colored barber, The
funerals of six of the cyclone victims
took place Sunday. The work of clear

standing the character of the day, all

HOW BLAINE ASSENTED.
The Story of CIarkson's Argument wit


The Story of Clarkson's Argument With
the Secretary.
NEW YORK, May 31.--This is the lat
est story of how the Blaine boom was
resurrected by Chairman Clarkson, of
the national committee, and it is told by
o man who ought to know.
The Blaine sentiment despite the let
ter of the secretary of state, was kept
alive in various states by such men as
Platt Quay, Fessenden, Foraker and
Thurston in the hope of something turn
ing up, 1t seemed impossible to get
man to come within gunshot of muster
ing as much support as the PRESIDENT
except Blaine Sherman, Alger, McKin-
ley and Reed alike lacked big popular
following.
Finally, the story goes, Mr.. Clarkson
decided on an audacious move. He went
to Emmons Blaine,

candidate for presidentT he asked the
5ecretary's son.
Certainly he is" was Blaine's reply,
and then they fell to talking about the
situation.

GRAFTON with friends, Clarkson, who has
been Blaine man for years, went to see
the secretary of state.
AT the first suggestion of his taking
the nomination Mr.. Blaine declared he
could not hear of it. He was contin-
ually having serious attacks of illness,
and he felt sure that he could not stand
the labor and excitement of another
campaign, Besides that he felt that he
was an old man and might have only o
few years to live. 1t is related that Mr.,
Clarkson disputed these points with Mr..
Blaine, told him that he could be elected
without effort, and finally said:
Even suppose nh you say is true, Mr..
Blaine, should think that if you die as
soon as you say, which is remote possi-
bility, the height of your ambition would
be to die in the White House."
MIR. Blaine appeared to be much struck
with this suggestion. The result was
that Mr.. Clarkson left, satisfied that I'M
der certain conditions Mr.. Blaine would
be willing to lead the party,
