Cal. 1t is made mostly of molasses,
and if it proves all of the success it is
claimed to be, it may point way for
the sugar planters of the South profta-

AMERICAN SCHOOLS.
Fruits of Their Work Compared with
Foreign Countries.

Foreign Countries.
Colonel Robert q. lngersoll gave ut
terance to few striking educational
truths in n recent address delivered be-
fore the surviving soldiers of his regi-
ment at Elmwood. Ill He said:
I'VE spend more for schools per head
than any nation in the world. Great
Britain spends $40 per head on the
common schools; France spends so
cents; Austria, 80 cents; Germany, so
cents; Italy. 25 cents. and the United
states over s.. so. tell you the school
house is the fortress of liberty. Every
school house is an arsenal. filled with
weapons and ammunition to destroy
the monsters of ignorance and fear.
AS have said ten thousand times, the
school house is my cathedral. The
teacher is my preacher. Eighty-seven
per cent OF all the people of the United
States over ten years of age can read
and write. There is no parallel for
that in the history of the wide world.
Over A., 0o0, 900 of educated citizens, to
whom arc open all the treasures of lit
erature. Forty-two millions of people,
able to read and write! l say, there is
no parallel for this. The nations of
antiquity were as ignorant as dirt
when compared Win tnlS great EcpuO-
lie of ours. There is no nation in the
world that can show a record like ours.
We ought to be proud Of it. We ought
to build more schools, and build them
better. Our teachers ought to be paid
more, and everything ought to be
taught in the public schools that is
worth knowing.
II believe that the children OF the
republic, no matter whether their
fathers are rich or poor, ought to be
allowed to drink at the fountain OF ed
ucation, and it does not cost more to
teach everything in the free schools
than it does TO teach reading, writing
and ciphering.

1t has often been noted by those
favored men who. in travelling about

always quietly and soberly reserved
and never cared TO talk about them,
says the Washington Post. Charles
Bassett. who has great renOwn in the
southwest as gun fighter and a game
man. is no exception to the rule. 1t
CHANGED that all of Bassett's killings
were on the side of public order, and
occurred while he was an officer of the
law. For several years Bassett was
marshal of Dodge City. Bat Masterson
was Bassett's deputy. 1t happened
more than once in Strengthening out the
destinies of Dodge that Bassett was
called on to shOot-a ceremony wherein
he was always careful to aim low, with
gratifying results. When Luke Short
who afterward killed Jim Court
wright. Texas desperado-was run
out of Dodge, Bassett was the first man
he came to in seeking help to put him
back. Having secured Bassett, Luke
Short gathered about him an array
which had record for cool nerve and
quick, sure work with a Cots pistol
that would be hard to duplicate. Short
was escorted back to Dodge by Bassett.

resort in Kansas City. One winter
night Bassett and several others were
standing near the big stove, drinking
and defying the weather. The talk had
drifted to the winter days of Dodge
City. when Jack NuckOls suddenly
spoke up with:
by the way. Charlie, you killed sew
eral men at Dodge City, didn't you?"
A look of pain and uneasiness came
across Bassett's face like cloud. He
was staggered and worried and showed
it. A profound silence fell upon the
several men present and Nuckols be-
gan to grow embarrassed. For full half
minute Bassett looked at the ques-
toner without saying a word. Then
as II thought had come to him that
he knew he was safe to act on. he
| helped himself to drink of whisky all
alone. When he returned he backed up
to the stove. and, surveying Nuckols
said, in mild, inquiring tone:
