special constituency better each
year, it has now secured national
prominence and is recognized by
the teaching profession as one of
the foremost educational papers in
the country. A feature Of the
Christmas number is the charming
picture of the Dagnan-Bouveret
Madonna on the front cover-page
and the well-worded description Of
this work of art on page six. Re
form in Study of Arithmetic"
''The Dead Age" and physiology"

inent writer's. ''Boasting, Lies and
the Moral Side" topics under
"Child-Study' by S. Lillian Blais-

thought Of true and earnest teach

HARD times never affect the de-
mand for young men who have
capacity for work and dislike for
swearing, gambling and immoder-
ate drinking The world can par
don faults. but not vices. Who
ever is a slave to the enervating
pleasures Of vice is fool, bat who
ever would employ such a slave is
a bigger fool. for experience teaches
even the most ignorant that vice is
dishonest. ready at all times to en-
gage in sharp practices to procure
means to satisfy its desires. The
young man who has honesty. good
habits and faithfulness to recon-
mend him need have no fear Of
hard times. His services are at a
premium, and whoever need such
services serve their own interest
best by employing him.

Eloquent Tribute.

Hon. j. X. Vardeman, Elector for
the State at Large, in his speech at
Hazlehurst paid the following elo-
quent tribute to the Democratic
nominee
"When the Romans met the Vols
clans, Marcus inquired OF ComiDius
Tin what manner the enemy'S armies
were drawn up" and ''where their best
troops were posted" Being answered
that the Antiates, who were placed In
the center, were supposed to be the
bravest and the most warlike, u beg
Of you them" said Marcus, "as a
favor, that you will place me directly
opposite them"
my friends, that has always been
the request of William ]. Bryan when
fighting the battles of the plain people
Of America. Where the fight waged
the warmcst and the shot and shell
fell the fastest, there he could always
be found. The scurrilOns attacks, the
taunts and the jeers of the hired or
gans Ut capital, the superciliOus sneers
OF plutocratic mediOcrity, the vile
tongue Of Islander and detraCtiOn, the
poisonous missiles OF envy, Jealousy
and revenge fired at him by the n e
mics Of his country and the 0ppressors
of labor fall harmless ut his feet.
"Clad In the armOr Of right, wrapped
10 the consciousness OF the absolute
correctness OF his cause-perfectly IA
milliar with the question at issue In
all OF its bearings, fired with an en-.
thusiasm Which despises opposition
and laughs at obstacles; gifted With
an eloquence born of the deepest con-
vlction, which enchains the heart,
makes captive the Judgment and
moves to irresistible action all who
come under its divine influence, he is
easily able to meet and vanquish all
the hosts OF error and the enemies uf
right. This man, my friends, is made
upon that heroic mould which dis.
tinguishcd the martyrs OF ancient
times-that rare class Of persons who
with rapture would sacrifice life and
all upon the alter Of conviction.
