PARTIAL TEACHERS love 10 TAX 10
school teachers. Having been teacher
for nearly half my life, feel brotherly
sympathy for them in all their trials and
tribulation.
In conversation with a prominent
teacher OF the county few days ago
saw fit to remark that always loved my
pupils, one and all, alike and never en-
tertained any partial feeling toward any
of them. Thinking that l had made a
grand display of my educated feelings Of
moral justice, was surprised to see in
credulous smiles ripping over the face OF
my companion My words had fallen
like a wet blanket and complete silence
echoed backward and forward for several
minutes. Finally my friend said:
'If you will pardon me, l will remark
that when teacher says that he enter
tans the same loving feeling for all his
pupis-good, bad and indifierent-he is
either deceiving himself or he is trying
to impose upon a credulous public. 1t is
contrary to human nature that the coarse,
rough, mean, 'disobedient, idle, impu-
dent and saucy child can be loved as well
by its teacher as the one that is gentle,
loving, kind, industrious and obedient.
There is a certain respect due the teach
er from the pupil and when this is not
shown, all the love in the heart of the
teacher for that child is killed. The
good and prudent school teacher shows
no partiality, though he doesn't feel that
way"
Another vibration OF silence.
After had taken a panoramic view,
with my minds eye, of my past history
meekly acknowledged that / had pre-
varicated pupil or two, and the CONVEX
sation was then changed.

TWAS TOO BAD.-0n the day after the
Masonic banquet and ball, two young
men of the town were discussing that
great social event.
One of them is not so very young,
either. He is just bordering on to bachel
orhood and is an enthusiastic Mason.
The other is just out of his teens.
They were discussing the array Of
feminine beauty that was at the banquet,
when the enthusiastic Masonic bachelor
asked the youth what he thought of it.
"Oh it was grand, charming, enchant-
ing; but think the ladies all had too
much cologne on Them" was the reply.
The e. m. b. did not reply immediate
ly, but gazed at the youth with frowning
dsapproval OF what he had said. Final
ly he snapped out, "It's too bad about
you;" and whirling on his heel he walk
ell off with an offended air.
The e. N. b. is little hard of hearing
and he had understood the youth to say
that the ladies all had too much clothes
on them.
He DIDN'T Know IT.-A lady caller at
the residence of Mr.. w. G. Smart, a
couple OF days ago, asked that gentleman
il Santa Claus give him any thing.
"Naw. The old scallawag passed by
without even noticing me-" was the re-
ply. -
"Why, Mr.. Smart, he lift you a nice
present, but you have never noticed it
yet-Walter saw it as soon as he came
home," chimed in Mrs. Smart.
Mr.. Smart Immediately began a search
and at last he discovered handsome,
new cushion in his easy chair.
Now, as Bill is always complaining of
being afflicted as is locomotive, his
friends are at loss to account for his
having sat in that chair for whole week
without knowing that it had cushion
in II, and they wonder why it is that he
did not make the discovery the very first
time he sat down on it.
