Tricks on the Teacher.

The other day pupil in one of the
public schools asked the teacher to do a
little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be simple
problem has had the serious considera-
ton of all the pedagogues in the com
munity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in grammar
to cover the point raised. The young
ster's proposition was this:
1T is two miles to Woodfords. Now,
please write under that sentence,
There are two twos in the above SEN
tence. y
That 10 what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing, and
when the teacher tried to follow his
injunction she found ont the reason
why. It dawned on her that there were
not two twoa neither were there two
tos, and how to express in writing what
was easy enough to do verbally abe az
oertained to be impossible.

Some people on their families pride
Some love their rank and station.
But best of all is he who loves
A splendid reputation.

Is through your reputation.
You may be rich, you may be great.
You may have education,
But what are these if you have not &
With them reputation2
One may lose his dearest friend
And have no food or ration, AZ
But, then, this loss is trif1ing to @

OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.

In Many Respects They Arc Doing Better
Work Than tho Larger Institutions.
"There are few striking facts about
the small American college, writes
Edward W. Box in The Ladies' Home
Journal. lone striking fact is that so
per cent of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
are graduates Of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. It is fact also that during the
past ten years the majority of the new
and best methods of learning have en-
anated from the smaller colleges and
have been adopted later by tho larger
ones. Because college happens to be
unknown 200 miles from the place Of
it's location does not always mean that
the college is not worthy of wider re-
pute. The fact cannot be disputed that
the most direct teaching and neces-
sarily the teaching most productive Of
good results is being done in the small
or American colleges. W. q
The names Of these colleges may not
be familiar to the majority of people,
but that makes them none the less wor-
thy places Of learning. The larger col
leges are unquestionably good. but
there are smaller colleges just as good
and in some respects better. Some of
the finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
tions of learning. Young girls or young
men who are being educated at one Of
the smaller colleges need never feel
that. the fact of the college being a
small one places them at disadvantage
in comparison with the friend or COM
panion who has been sent to larger
and better known college. It is not the
college; it is the student. y

a gentleman living ia Boston told an
Interesting story the other day about
how some of his blood relatives hap
pened to have a family name different
from his own. Il seems that during the
prosecutions in Scotland these PARTON
lar Kirkpatricks went over to Ireland
and settled in Belfast. subsequently, the
head Of the family came across the
ocean and as soon as he was established
sent for his wife to join him, bringing
with her their four SONS, two Of whom
were Old enough to make STRIPPING SOL
diers had some exigency demanded such
asacrifce. The journey was undertaken
in q slow going ship bound for New
York. and while she was somewhere in
mid Atlantic the war Of 1919 between
England and the United States broke
ont. .s=. .....= 55.$55. .5*ss
The ship when nearing our seaboard
was overtaken by a British cruiser,
which put her about and escorted her to
Halifax, Nova Scotia The Officer in
coramand Of the cruiser declared his in,
tention Of impressing sailors and sol
diers from among the passengers. A
mother having moro than two SONS
would have to give up all over that
number who might be available for
military or naval service. Mrs Kirk
patrick, who was q quick witted wom-
an, instantly planned ruse which she
justified in her own mind by calling it
ruse de guerre "a trick Of wary. She
stood two sons in one part of the ship
and two in another and was accepted,
without detection, as the mother Of both
pairs, though she called herself Kirk
patrick in one instance and Fitzpatrick
in the other.
After they disembarked the deception
had to be kept up, as they were con-
stantly under the eyes Of British officers.
The interception by tho cruiser resulted
in the family settling in Halifax instead
of in the United states. but even after
peace was restored the two Kirkpatrick
boys found it much harder to get their
name back than it had been to exchange
it on shipboard. In fact, they never got
it back. a. r e.. - I.
Those who had come to know them
as Kilpatricks refused to know them as
Kirkpatricks, and in the course of time
the effort to reclaim the family name
was abandoned as hopeless. The varia-

ON THE GRAND BANKS.

How tho Cod and Hslibut Are Taken by
the Small Vessels. =

titled ION the Grand Banks and Else.
where'' for st. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe
says: F. #H.#d VI !
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand banks, the hand liners on
the western bank and Quiro. These
hand lines are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand lines, one man and two lines to a
dory. The hand liner sits in the middle
of his dory, with compartment in it's
stern and another in its bow for his
catch. When you see the bow sticking
far up in the air, You kow the fisherman
has his stern load. Then, as fish after
fish flashes into the other compartment,
the bow settles, and when the dory is
on an even keel the hand liner pulls
back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh herring,
mackerel and squid, the hand liners
with salt CLANS. The catch Of both is
split and sailed, and the vessel has a
full "fare," or catch, when she has
''wet her salt''-that is, used up all
her salt-and is full of fish. A trawler's
voyage lasts about weeks, q hand
liners II.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First the captain
gets percentage; Of the remainder. one
half goes to the vessel, which "finds''-
that is, supplies the gear, stores, salt
and half the bait-and the other half to
the captain and crew in equal shares,
which run from $110 to $3.50 and even
to $3.50. -
But among the hand liners each man
is paid according to what he catches,
the "fare' from each dory being weigh
ed as it is taken aboard. This stimu-
lates competition. There is Judgment
in knowing where to fish or how long
to stay over q certain spot, and even the
quickness with which a line is hauled
in will make a perceptible difference st
the end Of days fishing. 1t means
something to be thigh line," as they
call the best fisherman, at the end of a
voyage, and those who win this distinc-
ton time and again, as some do, be-
come known as "killers'' and 'bte
fishermen.''
The main catch on the banks is cod
and halibut. There is also a fleet OF
small American vessels which pursues

anne strain. They tell Of the hardshirs
that the new rates would bring upon

they are losing money. The railroad
commissioners declare that this showing
rs made simply by the unequal division
ti,at the railroads make of their earn

her just portion they would have ahand-
some surplus. 1t is said that several
years ago when some of these
roads we're fighting the Iowa law the
division was entirely different, that they
claimed at that time that the profits of
the road came exclusively from the
Dakota and Illinois ends of the line,
and that they we're losing money. 1t is

not figure out a profit or q loss, as the

exists i'll the other banking institutions
