A JuDeE BURNETT SroRY.-The Sheri.
dan Sun tells the following old story
about Judge Burnett: Years ago Judge
Geo Burnett, then young man, taught
school st Sheridan. Sheridan at that
time had a pretty tough let of big boys
who had succeeded in worsting several
teachers who were obliged to quit be-
fore the term for which they had hired
had expired. Young Burnett came up
on the scene, and was rendered the
school. He knew the job he had be-
fore him but made no boasts. One day
shortly after the beginning of his term,
he asked one of the young men to per-
form certain duty. Full of confidence
adduced by former triumphs over peda-
gogic authority, the student told Bur-
nett to perform the duty himself, if he
wanted it done. As quick as q fash,
Burnett who was then, as now, an
athelete. sprang upon the bulky pupil
and hastily mopoed the floor with him
until the student VAS thoroughly salts
lied. Two or three other big boys tried
the mettle OF the young pedagogue, but
they invariably found him too much for
them. Eli Branson, one of Sheridan's
old timers, says Geo Burnett was the
first man who ever taught his term out
In Sheridan. Burnett was always dig
nlfed even when q boy, and early pos
sessed those qualities OF mind that have
IN later years helped him to attain his
present honorable position, Wig: in
nate integrity and the lion like courage
OF his every conviction Of right. From
nervy teacher who could fight for the
schoolroom, he has graduated to 3 cir.

BADLY WIPzD 0UT.-The foo. ball
game at Salem Saturday was one sided
affair, as was anticipated. 1t was ex-
perience sgainst inexperienee. The
Statesman gives the following account Of
the game: The game of football ysster-
day afternoon on the university campus
between the Salem and Albany J NJ c 4
teams resulted in a one-sided affair, the
Salemites scoring ffty-eight to the yisi-
tors nothing. There was the usual din
caused by those of the spectators who
were armed with tic horns and good,
strong lungs and the enthusiasm over the
success of the home team ian high. 1t
was very evident that the Albany boys
are lacking Ia training and practice
while the Salems played almost perfect
in every instance. During the game
Turner, Albany's right hall back was
slightly injured and McCully was sub
situted in the second half. The score
consisted of ten touchdowns, eight goals,
and one safety, making the fifty-eight
points. Chester Murphy acted as ref
cree, Mark Savage umpire, acd Roy
Miller linesman. The receipts at the
gate were about $3.50 while the expense
of bringing the Albany boys down was
over S25.
