TEACHERS swINDLED.
A Neat Scheme Worked by Hotel Man
In Harvey, ILL


In Harvey, ILL
Some time last year, a man who had
been prominent in educational work In
Chicago, secured the endorsement OF
well-known teachers and w. c. L. u.
people, in a project to build a hotel at
Harvey, H., 10 accommodate teachers
and members Of the w. c. L. o., while
visiting the Exposition. BE then
flooded the country with circulars, ad-
vertising cheap rates, etc. The hotel
building was partially erected, but was
destroyed by fire in January. No effort
was made to rebuild it, but circulars
were still sent broadcast over the coun-
try. Recently a Chicago publication
exposed the impostor.
1t appears that q number OF Wneei-
ing teachers were among those VINO
were swindled.
They sent money In advance to secure
rooms for certain periods. Uniortu-
nately the hostelry existed only in the
printed matter sent out from Harvey.
1t is asserted that $40 was sent by
Island teachers alone. Among those
who are reported to have sent money
to secure rooms, are Miss Lucy Robin
son, musical instructress, Miss Lydia
Dean, Miss Robinson, teacher In Madl-
son school, and Miss Anna Reeves.

Royalty and Swear Words.

William the Conqueror did not introduce
swearing into England, but he brought
with him very forcible oath. William
was accustomed to swear by the splendor
of God" and on such occasions he com
bined with it the terrible aspect of the
eyes" which always took the place of
swearing in the case of Sir Joseph Porter,
X. c. Il. After Williams time the rulers
of England, with possibly here and there
an exception, swore with great frequency
and vigor. 1t is related that even Queen
Bess, whose auburn locks did not belle a
fiery temper, would break into string of
expletives that would rattle the royal win
dows and brighten the household and royal
attendants from all sense of diplomatic re-
course.-New York World

A CAPTAIN GENERAL.
An Enthusiastic Young Schoolmaster Who
Went to the Great Struggle.

Went to the Great Struggle.
When President Lincoln, in 1851, called
for troops to serve for three months, one o.
the first to respond was young school
master in an obscure village in southern
PENNSYLVANIA. Because of his educational
qualifications he was chosen captain OF his
company For week he was busy organ
izing and after his own idea disciplining
his command.
That he might present an appearance
sufficiently martial he ordered from the
village tailor a uniform. Neither he nor
the tailor had any idea of the distin-
gushing badges of rank so important in
the outer makeup of soldier, and an old
print of General Worth, which had decked
the wall of the tailor's parlor since the
days of the war with Mexico, was resorted
to for hints. The result was faultless
copy of the garments of the hero OF Cerro
Gordo.
The captain was delighted, and donnins
the suit he set out with his command for
the state capital. On the way he stopped
for a day to gather ideas in tactics at Car
Isle barracks, then a regular army post.
The sight of round hundred of bump
kins as inharmoniously clad as the army
of Falstaff or the soldiers of the sultan OF
Morocco, headed by a major general in full
regimentals and marching on foot up to
the barracks, was novel one to the regu-
lars, who, taking in the situation, gravely
saluted the general at every opportunity.
One old sergeant spent almost the entire
day in charitable donation of information
on company movements.
When the next morning came the cap
tain general" marshaled his host and
footed it eighteen miles to Harrisburg,
where, at high noon, to spirited music, the
company, with its glittering leader,
tramped into the city. For two days the
captain strutted about, wondering at the
salaams that greeted him from all quar-
tiers, until an acquaintance met him and
said:
when did you become a major gen.
eral?'
"a major general? I am captain" he
replied.
Il will tell you what you are.' said the
acquaintance. You are the greatest sen
sation in camp, and the sooner you take off
that major generals coat the better; the
boys think you are a drum major"
AS the captains pocket was light and
his wardrobe limited no course was open
to him but to cut down tlfe coat. BY back
alleys he was guided to tailor's shop,
where, rushing up to the astonshed pro-
prietor, he whispered:
my friend, what will you charge to re-
duce my rank and make a captain of me-"
