Mr. EdITOR;-I notice in you state in
your last issue that Mr.. W. r. Connick
has been appointed by the School Com
missioners to distribute books for $500.
Please correct by stating that the School
Commissioners after holding several
meetings, chiefly to consider the purchase
distribution and collection of Books, &C
cepted bid made by Mr. Connick to dis
tribute and collect the books without cost
t. School Board, except for freight on
C ,rs, for the said sum. The School Com
mssioners decided, that to give Mr.. Con
nick $500 for the work was less costly than
to do the work by their secretary. | Ger
tainly think so.
| will add in this connection, what be :,
leve to be true, that this county has bought
its books cheaper than any county i'll the
State and will distribute and collect cheap
er than any county. At the meeting when
Bond & Co.'S bid was accepted, | was told
by the agents of the several book firms
present, that the bid was the most liberal
made up to that time. l will also add that
by Bond & Co.'S courtesy and readiness
to assist in the work of distribution Mr..
Connick may be saved from losing much
money on his bid. | hope you will give
this place, as ! want the people of the
county to know how well the School
Commissioners managed this new school
understand the subject.

An Hours Walk.

Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out ON an bour,s
stronp Possibly you walk three miles
within the hour, but that does not by
any means represent the distance YOU
travel. The earth turns on it's axis every
% hours. For tho sake of round figures
we will call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles, and so you must have
Travelled during the hours stroll 1000
miles in the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all. The earth makes
a journey arouna the sun every year,
and long but rapid trip is The dis
lance Of our planet from the sun we
will put at o., 600, 600 miles. This is
the radius Of the earth orbit-half the
diameter of the circle, as we call it.
The whole diameter is therefore 1884,
900, 900 miles, and the circumference,
being the diameter multiplied by 8. 1416,
is about 57S, 900, 000
This amazing distance the earth trav-
els'in its yearly journey, and dividing
1t by 965 we find the daily speed about
1886, 900. Then, to get the distance
you rode around the sun during your
hours walk, divide again by %, and
the RESULTS about 900 miles. But
this is not the end Of your hours trip.
The sun, with it's entire brood Of plan
cts, is moving in space at the rate Of
100, 900, 600 miles in year. This is at
the rate OF a little more than 438, 900
miles day, or IS, 300 miles an hour.
So, adding your three miles of leg
travel IN hniINa q io1 Of
the earth, this to the earth $ orbital jour
ney, and that again to the earth excur-
sion with the sun, and you find you
have travelled in the hour So, 253 miles

short when he saw Johnnie with his
cart.
Whewl" he whistled, thrusting his
hands deep in his pockets and viewing
the cart on all sides. "She Is a stun
nerl Say-where'd you get her, Saw
dust3 Won't you swap awhile2 let
you play with mine when you didn't
have any, you know"
1t took only a moment to transfer the
baby from one cart to the other. The
baby didn't mind one bit; all he wanted
was ride, and he was having a good
one.
Johnnie's pale face was bright enough
now, and Bennie's voice sounded
above the rafting carts. Il like to
play with you frs'-rate, Sawdust.
Wouldn't it be nice if 1 had baby,
too. They amt 80 bad to take care of
as thought"
YES" shouted Johnnie. "Why
don't you get one?"
"Will if you'll go long with me.
It's down this way. Oh" the carts
suddenly stopped. ITS grill"
GA grip"
Yes, would you mind very much if
twas girl?"
"N-no," answered Johnnie, ba-
bies all look alike, l think. l wouldn't
mind Bit"
This settled it, and Bonnie led the
way to streetas poor as the one where
Johnnie lived. The baby here was a
pale-faced little girl whose mother
sometimes worked at Bennie's house.
She placed the baby carefully in the
little cart, and looked so grateful, while
the babies, themselves, Growing and
reaching out to each other, looked so
happy and so very, very funny, that
somehow the boys felt wonderfully
happy, too.
Then off they trudged with their
precious burdens, out from the dusty
street into the pleasant park where flow
ers bloomed and fountains Played

same vivid interest, the same power of
making them realistic.
These lessons were varied by little
sketches of one Sunday to be read aloud
the next. OF this Nate took hold with
special zest. None of this family could
sing, but she thought of a substitute.
They learned the Psalms, much of
Isaiah, and many hymns, repeating
them in concert, learning to count
upon this hour around the fire, as 9TH
ers do upon music.
How many of these times came to
her in after lifel-a vision of the bright
faces of her boys, as they clustered af-
fectionately around her.
Time rolled by. A railroad passed
through. A village sprang up, and the
land was ready to sell. She could keep
enough for her own use, and the boys
could prepare for college. Thede and
Nate went away to school. The old
home was kept bright and pleasant;
friends, new settlers came in, and now
there was visiting and social life.
Jerry stayed on the farm; Theodore
became an engineer; Nate minister;
Johnnie went into business. Theodore
used to say:
Mother, "a L travel about, all the
stones and flowers make me think Of
you. 1 catch sight of some rock, and
stop to rejoice over those blessed times
Nate said: Mother, when 1 am
reading psalm in the pulpit, there al
ways comes to me picture of those
evenings with you in the rocking-chair
by the freight, and l hear all your
voices again"
Johnnie wrote: Mother, 1 think
everything l have has come to me
through you"
When Jerry, who had remained
faithful, as always, had listened to his
brothers, he put his arm around her
saying tenderly: "There never will be
anyone like mother to me-"
She died at sixty-five, very suddenly
Only few hours before she had eX
claimed, as her children all came home
together:
There never were such good boys
as mine. You have repaid me thou
sand fold. God grant you all happy
honest"
They bore her coffin to the grave
themselves. They would not let any
other person touch it. In the evening
they gathered around the hearthstont
in the sitting-room, and drew theil
chairs together No one spoke unit
Nate said:
Boys, let us pray"
And then, all kneeling around hel
vacant chair, he prayed that the man
tie of their mother might fall upor
them. They could ask nothing beyond
that!-Christian Union.
