An Agent Repulsed.
From Chicago Tribune

Mr.. Jimsmith, the lawyer, whose name
is household word in Chicago, recently
moved into beautiful suburban home.
He is highly pleased with it in genera
way, but so many agents call upon him
that he finds 1t rather bore. The otht r
day he opened the door to II agents be-
fore the afternoon was half over, and
when he was summoned to the door for
the 18th time he was mad enough to
fight herd Of porcupines. A tall, sad
eyed man, dressed in black, confronted
him and started to say something, but
Mr.. Jimsmith interrupted him:
"1ou don't need to tell me what you
have to sell, because don't want it; I
don't need burglar-proof clock nor a
bootjack that has music box in it nor a
stemwinding canOpener; don't"

and what's more my wife doesn't need a
recipe for preserving Goldfish or frying

"Really, sir, this is most extraordi-
nary"
'Oh, of course, it's extraordinary, but
l don't want it. suppose it can be used
to CRATE horse radish and tune the piano.
Perhaps it will take the grease spots out

LOVE IN OLD AGE

Time thought to quell my stubborn heart of oak.
And chain with chains the heart beats of my
soul,

The Bhackles, and forth from the prison stole
Out in the night, and slept; when l awoke,
Mine eyes bcheld anear, beautiful
Form like unto an angel, and spoke:
"If were loved. as would wish to be,
What evil power should fear ON earth,
Or in the range Of space 'twixt death and birth !?
What bliss. fair Eros TO he loved by thee!
And o, what jov to watch, mute numb to ills,
Upon some height, while from a thousand hills
Lies deluge surges towrds the Unseen Sea I"

almost as scarce among pedagogues as
white blackbirds among the feathered
tribes, and SD far as have ever known
this high wage has never been paid for
excellence as teacher, but always be-
cause of superior muscular development
that would enable its lucky possessor to
keep unruly "big boys" and young men
in check.
am now speaking of district schools
proper, not village, union or graded
schools, which are conducted more after
the model of the city schools, and where
better pay and better teaching prevail.
In the summer time district schools are
most always taught by young women,
who sometimes get no more than 81 or
s. week and rarely above 50 or Sc. As
teachers they are quite as efficient as the
young men who preside over the schools
in the winter time, if not more so, and
it is my opinion that if there is to be any
marked improvement in the grade of
the district schools it will come through
the young women teachers. They are
certainly better fitted by nature to in
struct young children, and they are apt
to be more conscientious in their work
than are young men who are teaching

the purpose of doing something else. L
make no doubt that if the schoolma'am
Of the country had the necessary Drawn
they would quickly drive the men al
most entirely out of the district schools.
But there's the rub; muscle is undoubt-
eddy often of greater value to the teacher
of winter school than brains or learn
ing. A friend of mine told me story
the other day of the manner In which
teacher once gained supremacy.
Every winter for some years." said
he, ''the big boys of District No. 10 had
thrown from one to three teachers bodily
out of the schoolhouse. Most every body
who has lived in the country knows just
what sort of mob the teacher who
tackled the job of running No. 10 in
the winter time had to manage. Well,
the trustees got a man of the name of
Skeels to try it one winter. He wasn't a
big man by any means, and there was no
swagger to his walk. His eye was mild,
and his voice was low, and there was no
hair on his face. The only thing about
him that gave Hade Joyce, the bully of
the district, any uneasiness was the fact
that the skin of his lips and jaws was of
that livid tint peculiar to the close shay
ing of a very heavy beard. Hade was 20

and that critical period that comes in the
life OF almost every poor youngster strug-
Cling for place just after he has flushed
his own education and before he has
found permanent foothold from which
to make his fight for success.
Such an increase in wages as would
make it worth while for bright young
men to remain country schoolteachers
would tend TO work improvement in this
direction, but this is not to be looked for
as In any sense a probability. In the
past 20 years there has been practically
no Improvement in the wages paid to
district schoolteachers, the range in the
winter time being from s. to S15, with
an average of about 90 a week. Teach

years old that winter, stood feet 2 in
his boots, could kick higher, jump fur
der and all the rest than any one else in
the neighborhood, and he had been in
the habit of conducting the affairs of
No. 15' to suit himself.
'Hade was very quiet the first day.
At night he told the rest of us that he'd
be willing to give Skeels So to lift him
off his feet. He further said that he
didn't propose to wait very long before
he had some fun with Skeels.
".He can't run over me- said Hade,
if his face is blue as a milestone where
he shaveS.'
''The trouble came the next day, just
before school was let out for night.
Hade snapped a button across the room
in the direction of Sarah Smiths seat
when he knew Skeels was looking.
'''I should like to have you remain
said the teacher.
'Cert'nly,' said Hade, his broad face
expanding with grin.
"'I want all the scholars but Joyce to
go home at once said Skeels when he
dismissed us, but half dozen of us ran
round the schoolhouse and took turns
peepine through the window. Hade was
standing carelessly by the teachers desk,
and Skeels was writing when took my
turn. I tapped ON the pane, and Hade
turned to look. At the same moment
Skeels' right arm shot out in the direc-
ton of Hade's head. The fist at the end
of the arm struck Hade just below the
ear. Hade lay down on the floor without
ceremony, and Skeels began writing
again.
''After little Hade, somewhat dazed,
struggled to his feet, but before he was
fairly erect the teachers fist came in con-
tact with Hade's neck just below the ear.
Again and again Hade measured 2 yards
and inches on the floor. When he got
up this time his face wore an expression
of abject terror, and then Skeels smiled
and spoke to the big bully. When Hade
sat down on one of the class benches, and
Skeels sat down by him, we took no fur
ther interest in the scene and left them
talking together. There was no more
trouble in No. Is that season. Hade
Joyce turned over new leaf, and al
though Skeels kept the best order that
had ever been heard of in that district he
didn't use a whip or ferule all winter. -
II suppose Joyce got to be a rich man
afterward because of the habits of ap-
plication he acquired that winter" re-
marked interrogatively, when my friend
had finished his story.
"Well, he didn't" was thereby. 1.-The
last heard of him, he was driving a
hosscar in Buffalo, and if they've put the
trolley on the line he worked on he's
ont of a job sure, for he's too stupid to

amounted to anything. He's running a
