MISSING LEssoNs.-All music teachers
are more or less annoyed on account OF
their pupils missing lessons. Perhaps
nothing is 10 conducive OF irregularity
in music lessons as the understanding on
the part Of the pupil that by merely
sending word" to the teacher the lesson
can be Cancelled at pleasure, without OK
pense. Triling ailments, interruptions,
neglect of practice or the weather are
magnitied into wariantable excuses. To
the teacher such a system entails a ser.
ious loss. The stated hours which he
reserved for pupils each week are fire..
qucntly left on his hands unused, and
yet are Of no value in which to accomp.
lish other work. The teacher is busy
n hour and idle the next. waiting for
the following pupil. Probably one half
OF the hours engaged by pupils are not
occupied by them, yet the teacher is
compelled to keep them regularly In re.
serve, on the presumption that the pupil
may take a lesson the following week.
Consequently whenever a lesson is
missed the teacher practically spends the
time required to give two lessons and re-
ceives for but n Not only 30 but the
pupil is also the loser. for satisfactory
progress is absolutely impossible under
such circumstances. Parents as we'll as
pupils are often too thoughtless on this
point. Do not miss lessons.
SCHOOL PiCNIC.-On last Friday the
school districts number 10 and 20 united
and gave one Of the best picnics, at
Smiths pond, ever given in this country.
The teachers, Mr.. Burt Richardson and
Miss Nettie Hummel, are to DO highly
complimented not only upon their uccess
a. teachers but also upon the entertain
ing program that they prepared for tho
picnic. After a harmonious and highly
appreciated overture rendered by our
s. Of v. band followed by a melodious
quartet, Mr.. Ranney McNitt very elo.
quently addressed the people upon edu.
cation and the country school house.
His pleasant voice. sound sense and pat
illustrations won the interest Of the eager
listeners. One Of his finest remarks was
to the effect that a child's brain grows
continually while a mans brain does not,
hence the need Of good, instructive pub
lie schools. As he finished speaking the
band again struck up one Of their de.
lightful pieces to which the people could
have listened the rest Of the day. Their
followed songs and recitations rendered
by the school children and others. all o.
which were given in a most appropriate
manner, after which they all sojournet
to their baskets and filled themselve
with the eatable goods Of this world. Il
the afternoon many q delightful boa
ride was enjoyed upon the pond. tn
base ball game was then announced
played between the Country Hard Hit
, ters' and the "Red Cloud Pick Ups i
I which the "Pick Ups" were awarded tn
crushing defeat Of IL to 81; with thi
closed the exercises Of the day. Surel
there should be more picnics Of this il
~structive nature.

are soft green lawns, Towering shrubs,
Craveled walks and magnificent monu-
Inents; on the other rank growth OF
grass and weeds, worm-eaten and dis
colored wooden headboards, and in
stead of flowers a miscellaneous tumble
of tops, ornaments, tools, and SO on.
But Mount Zion has its own peculiar
charm and its patrons are unique in
the belief that the things used 10y the
departed during life are needed by
them in the land of shadows. The old,
white-haired sexton, in his quaint dia-
lect, gives many amusing obituaries,
and explains the significance OF certain
articles that litter the mounds The
idea of the negroes in placing them in
the cemetery is that they may be with
in easy reach of the spirits whom they
confidently believe revisit the scenes Of
their earthly sufferings. If they find
familiar objects on their graves they
confne their manifestations to the
cemetery-if not, they haunt the fami-
lies who have neglected 10 provide
them. One of the most interesting of
these souvenirs is that which adorns
the grave of "Aunt Chloe Brown"
whom the sexton described as a reg lar
terror" 1t is large palm leaf fan. It
seems that aunt Clio" ''uset to git up

The chief bone Of contention with her
was that the rest of the family would
insist on eating twice a day. She
usually terminated the family repastS
when. in her opinion, they had lasted
long enough, by routing the feasters
with a broomstick. One day, while
chasing her husband, who was the
patientest niger alive, Tshe caught her
foot in her dress and fell, striking her
temple on sharp stone When they
picked her up she was dead. II put de
fan on her grave" said the old sexton
finishing his recital, "'cause if cher
anyone went to de hot place, she did,
certin shore, an she'll find it refreshin'
when she comes back IN de night"

Yes, wonderful babies: indeed
And yet the most wonderful baby

No other IS half so divine,
40 other SO wonderful, wonderful
