cure situations for teachers who would
pay it an initiation fee and agree to
pay percentage of their salaries.
The TINES was the FIRST newspaper
in the State to denounce it. We
are therefore somewhat gratified to
see the action taken by the judicial
authorities in this matter.
Squiers and McEwen having fled,
bench warrants have been issued and,
if apprehended, they will be brought
back for trial.

HE DOES NOR LIKE 1T.
The Girls, He Says, Are Not Doing the
Square Thing by the Boys.

The Girls, He Says, Are Not Doing the
Square Thing BY the Boys.
The girls have started in to do the
square thing by the boys, by taking
them out sleighing, seeing them home,
etc. But the thing is evidently quite
beyond them. They secure the rig
all right enough, and manage to find
the boys and take them aboard; they
even succeed in laying down an
itinerary for the driver. But right
here they quit being boys. Maybe it
is because they are green at the bust
ness, and don't know exactly how to
act. But the boys suffer so, in con-
sequence. that they intend to turn the
tables by refusing to be girls any
longer.
A young fellow who has been out
twice or thrice under ladies' escor,
tells this tale Of woe as follows:
"Ye see, the girls they don't know
nawthin'. Dey ask Teller, see? and
load him on the flyer, easy enough
but then they don't know how te
entertain him how to be sociable-
like, and they let him freeze-see!
Wen teller takes his gal out for q
glide, he tucks the robes about he,
carefully, so as she won't get turned
into a chunck O. ice; den, soon as dey
is on the road he throws one arm
around her to keep her warm-see:
Den, too, he always carries an eye.

know they're there; end as to gettin

A Modern PeneIone.

By the kitchen hearth was an American
sewing machine, and from this-after cof-
fee and healrhs in flowing resinate-we
passed to a weaving loom. such as Penelope
might have wrought in against the day of
her wedding with Odysseus. Here one of
the girls tried TO teach me 10 run the bob
bin back and forth, a thread at a time, and
keep the treadle going with my feet. II
proved to be by no means so simple as it
looked, and l made awk ward work of it.
They showed us a skein of the pure raw
yellow silk, like spun gold, and also a bolt
of the most fascinating silk cloth, so deli
cate and fine in texture that one could see
through it, but so firm to endure for
years and with the natural yellow color of
the silk.
Much as we coveted the lovely fabrics we
did not dare suggest a purchase, for Kyr
Argites was lord OF many acres and the
village head: all his neiGhbors looked up
TO him; his daughters could weave, but to
sell-impossible. 1t was like dream to
see the new Penelope weaving her robe
and we had fain fingered in this charm
ingly unique household, but at length the
deluge moderated little, and for all their
kind entreaties to spend the night that
they might show Us how they amused
themselves and dance for u.s. we took our
lingering leave. II was q rich experience,
this peep into the home life of those simple,
sturdy Laconians, and one which the
tourist very seldom enjoys.-Oporto Cor.
Omaha Bee.
