KEEPING THEM oNTHE FARM

1T is my little four-year-old son

"And what, pray, was that share?' sald
Mr.. Grosvenor, who expected those comph-
ments from Mr.. Hanna which his work ana
service warranted. What was the share
YOU took in your fathers haying, Mr.. Han
ia, which reminds you of my service IN
this Mckinley campaign
II rode out TO the field" said Mr.. Han
ma. on the empty wagon and rode back on
the load. Beyond that and having lots to
say my service did not go" Then Mr..
Hanna laughed low and mockingly.
Mr.. Grosvenor is a great friend to news
paper men, and they wouldn't know what
to do without him. Every night, fearful
they may be short of items wherewith to
deck their columns, Mr.. Grosvenor visits
all of his young protegees of the press and
gives them an interview already written,
with himself. This is a great boon and en-
dears him to the gallery of correspondents
at Washington. Mr.. Grosvenor's inter
views thus written by himself are called
by newspaper folk hot stuff" and are
preferred to kindle fires with. In the pic
ture ii will be observed that Mr. Grosve-
nor's hat is rapidly losing control of the
capped its influence. This copiousness on
the part of Mr.. Grosvenor's head is recent
In its appearance, and comes from deep
cogitation over Mckinley and his promo
ton to the Presidency. When Mckinley is
in Mr.. Grosvenor is TO he the White House
Royal Gazeybo, on office of moment and
honor. The Royal Gazeybo, besides dub
hing about generally, takes charge Of the
White House Christmas tree as Kris Krin-
gle role for which Mr.. Grosvenor is fit
ted by nature and for which he will not
have to make up. In the House Of Repre-
sentatives Mr.. Grosvenor fills a long felt
want. The fact that his constituents made
a Congressman out of Mr.. Grosvenor is
often seized on by his fellow-mem'ber to
explode the claim that one cannot make
something out of nothing Mr.. Grosvenor
is said to look like Senator Stewart. and
Stewart gets very much enraged when it
is spoken of.
Mr. Grosvenor looks forward to he some
day Governor Of Ohio. He believes that If
Hanna and Foraker, and Sherman and Fos-
ter, and Mckinley would die the way to
success would lie open before him Per
haps it would, though many argue that in
addition to all these funerals the State Of
Ohio would have to be completely off its
war and was severely wounded by mule
whose scope. or radius rather, he, for a
moment overlooked.

HARRISON COUNTY TEACHERS
INSTITUTE.
Special to the Register.

Special TO the Register.
Clarksburg, w. Va, June 25.-After
the usual prayer and song the exercises
of the Institute to-day were opened by
a short talk by Prof. Miller on the i'm
portance of memory gems. The adyis-
ability of teachers taking educational
journals was again considered. Prof.
Barnes took up the subject OF the His
tory of Education, and tgaa;ed il Und:r
three heads:
l. AS an aid to the study Of Pedagogy.
2. 1t creates professional self-respect.
3. II reveals progress in civilization.
A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed consisting of these persons:
Harvey Goodwin, Miss Bonnie Smith,
Orlander West, Miss Lizzie Harmer
and l.. l.. Bailey.
The roll to-day showed 256 teachers
in attendance, viz: Males 1873; females
1913. This is the largest enrolment at
any teachers institute ever held in Har-
rison county, and shows the estimate in
which the educational interests are held
in this section of the State.
Prof. Kemper, of Salem, showed to
what extent music should be taught in
the public schools in a terse address.
Ventilation and other subjects of kind
red importance were also considered.
Prof Hall gave an interesting lecture
on Bookkeeping" explaining the pres
ent system of banking, etc. j. n. David
conducted the lessons in grammar, and
his instruction was highly appreciated.
Prof. Jenkins, of Union College, dis
cussed the question of school disci-
pine. and also told the teachers what
his college was doing. The Institute
this far is a practical success, and the
teachers manifest great interest in the
work, and no doubt will go TO their re-
spective schools this winter better pre-
pared to instruct their pupils and TO
elevate the standard in the cause OF ed
ucation.

HOW TO TREAT A WIFE.

First, get a wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and perpleX-
ties IN your business. but do not, therefore,
carry TO your home a cloudy or contracted
brow. Your wife may have trials. which,
though of less magnitude, may be hard for
ner to bear a kind word, a tender look,
will do wonders in chasing from her brow
all clouds of gloom.-To this we would add
always keep a bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the best
and is sure to be needed sooner or later.
Your wife will then know that you really
care for her and wish 10 protect her health.
