The Rock Island train from the south
arrived on time last night and didn't stop
at Round Pond as was expected.
Yesterday an ordinance passed by that
city, compelling trains TO stop there, went
into effect and it was expected that riot
and bloodshed would follow their refusal
10 do so.
People who have come up from there
say shat the condition is serious. One
man said to a reporter st will get hotter
at Round Pond before 1T gets colder" By
this he meant that there are some exciting
times ahead between the city and the rail-
road company If the latter continues to
ignore the ordinances. The same party
said that there WAS but one solution TO the
trouble and that is that the railway COM
pany will have TO build around
the city or comply with the ordinance.
He says the citizens are so determined 10
enforce respect for their ordinances that
they will take no middle ground.
There are now stationed At Round Pond
to protect the railway fourteen armed
deputy marshals. The citizens, of course,
regard them as enemies and collision
is imminent ana may occur at any mo-
ment The citizens are also thoroughly
armed and in IA mind to fight when provo
cation is offered. A few nights ago re-
volver was discharged accidentally and it
is said that inside of twenty minutes over
100 citizens were on the street armed with
Wlnchesters and shotguns, thinking that
the collision which all have been expect
ing was at hand.

I'VE read how that profigate Hello
gabalus, the Roman emperor, had
single dish on his table once that cost
two hundred thousand dollars, and how
another Roman, Aelin Verus, gave a
supper to a dozen cronies that cost a
quarter of a million dollars Then

emperor, likewise entertained his

these were ancient fellows, who had

dainties- Coming down to modern days
and plain, ordinary, everyday ham and

town that cost friend of mine four
teen hundred dollars. A gentleman
named Parker kept an establishment
devoted to entertaining gentlemen at
sundry games of chance. One night

killing an evening here together, when
we conceived the idea that a visit to
Parker's would be just the thing. We
put it into execution at once. l have

my friend pulled out a twenty-dollaE
bill and said he would play turn or
two to pay for our supper. I begged
him in turn not to do it, but he was al
obdurate as had been. He lost his
bill and tried to get it
back. In two hours fourteen hundred
dollars were gone glimmering. have

PRIMITIVE METHODS.

and direct way of getting children to
read, write and cipher at very early
age, and to be ashamed if they did it
badly. Then-and here was the great
unconscious principle that the country
school was demonstrating
any pupil had point of Individuality
to work upon, some taste or some tai

just waking up to the charm of litera-
ture or the fascination of scientific ex-
pertinent, was led instinctively to pass
on to his inquiring pupil some spark of
the divine fire of original study. The
close personality Of the relation
gave power to the teaching which no
mechanical system could ever attain.
1t was the method which the expert
ence of the world, from Socrates down,
has shown to be the only effective one
the method of direct impact of one
mind on another,
Under this system, which was no sys-
tenn, the mind of the pupil blossomed
out into the most vigorous growth of
which il was capable. 1t never got
the ruinous notion that machine was
going to do its work for it; there was
no machine. If the teacher had any
thing in him it was called out by the
fresh, unspoiled enthusiasm of the

The pupil went there term after term,
year after year, simply demanding, as
did the pupils of ancient Greece and
those of the fair early days of the
medieval universities, whatever new
the teacher of the moment had TO
give. There was no course"
because there were no limitations
of the subject or of time. In that
procession of active youth coming
from the larger life of the college
there was sure TO be, sooner or later,
some representative of every subject
Of study. The strain on the person
atty of the teacher was immense, and
it produced a response. Individual an
swered to Individual, and out of this
give-and-take came originality.
Then there was a change. All this
was found to be unscientific. The
method must be made conscious of it.

shadow has since dsrkened all the
land, the educator" To be simply a
teacher was no longer enough: we
must have educators. and that quickly.
This hodge-podge of pupils of different
ages must be broken up into grades"
Every pupil belonged in a grade, and
there he must GO and stay; if at the
given time there twas no grade into
which he precisely fitted so much the
worse for him; away with him into the
