It is reported that terrible affection
has befallen the family of Zebe Allen
in Santiago, Sherburne county. No
definite particulars are obtainable and
this paper gives the story for what it
is worth.
The report came from E.. Secord of
Haven, Sherburne county, whose
brother is a neighbor to Allen. He
was in town the other day and told the
story to friend of the Journal Press.
It appears that Allen and his family
attended celebration of the Fourth of
July at Santiago and drank lemonade
which evidently contained some poison
GUS matter, for upon reaching their
home the nine children sickened and
died one after another. The parents,
who had also drank of the refresh
ments, were also affected and at last
accounts were in a delirious condition,
with small hopes Of their recovery.
The above appeared in the St. Cloud
JOu1Ydl-PTess last week and is stamped
as untrue by those who live in Santi.

TTLEHOMER,s SLATE.

q s Z. r Of 3 + y !
After dear old grandma died.
Hunting through an oaken chest
In the attic we espied
What repaid our childish quest;
Twas a homely little slate,
Seemingly of ancient date.
On it's quaint and battered face
Was the picture of cart,
Drawn with all that awkward grace
Which betokens childish art
But what meant this legend, pray,
Homer drew this yesterday"
Mother recollected then
What the years were fain to hide,
She was but baby when
Little Homer lived and died;
Forty years, so mother said,
Little Homer had been dead.
This one secret through these years
Grandma kept from all apart,
Hallowed by her lonely tears
And the breaking of her heart;
While each year that sped away
Seemed to her but yesterday.
So the homely little slate
Grandma's baby's fingers pressed,
To memory consecrate,
Lieth in the oaken chest,
Where unwilling we should know,
Grandma put it years ago.

At length educators are beginning to
see that harm may be done by the COM
petition system universal in schools.
Prizes are offered for the strongest and
most skillful contestant in athletics, for
the pupil who can pass the best exami-
nations in this, that or the other branch
of study. Ambitious children strain ev-
cry nerve to win these prizes Hard
feeling, envy. Disappointment are the
lot of those who lose, while the vanity
Of those who win is unduly pulled up.
In physical contests the boys often Guido
their strength. The benefit to be derived
from physical culture or from the knowl-
edge contained in the textbook becomes
quite secondary to the mere obtaining
of the prize. The competition is so keen
that dishonest measures are resorted to
in order to win, as though the one thing
in life worth having were that foolish
prize. The effect Of this on the child e
character in after years cannot help be-
ing unfavorable. The same spirit Of bit
ter and ungenerous rivalry goes with
him in his business methods. Children
should be taught to do whatever is be-
fore them the best that it can be done,
for the sake Of the thing itself and fol
their own Improvement, not for the
sake Of doing it better than somebody
else.
