COUNTY NORMAL INSTITUTE.
Will be Held at Hot Springs June . to L,
No Teacher should Miss It.

Will be Held at Hot Springs June : to 1s.
No Teacher should Miss It.
County Superintendent, Mrs. Bertha
Y. Thornby is actively engaged in the
interest of the normal institute, which
is to be held June Z to 1s, at the High
School building in this city. The in
structors will be President E. E. Lymer,
conductor; Prof. H. B. Larrabee, of
Rapid City; and Bertha Y. Thornby, of
this city. The ability of these instruc
tors is sufficient to induce every teach
er in Fall River county to attend, if
they have any interest whatever in
their work. In fact the law provides
that teachers certificate may be re-
voked for failure toattend an institute.
In her address to the teachers Mrs.
Thornby says: 1--WE extend to you, and
to all persons who expect to become
teachers, an urgent invitationt to attend
the institute. There is steadily in-
creasing demand for more efficient
work in the school room, and this de-
mand has made the normal institute a
necessity, as means of presenting to
the teachers each year the latest meth
ods of instruction. 1t is by no means
sufficient that a teacher shall have
only scholarship. Education in both
matter and method is progressive, and
we must earnestly strive to keep our
selves in touch with every movement
that has in il promise of increasing
the efficiency of school work. There
is no such thing as standing still. All
is progress in this work of ours. The
past year has developed an intense
interest along the lines of child study,
nature study, etc. One of the chief
hindrances to successful school room
work lies in the teachers failure to
understand the thoughts and feelings
of the child"
In inviting the public Mrs. Thornby
says: "It is hoped that parents, school
officers, and all friends of the school
will visit the institute as often as pos
sible."
On Wednesday evening, June 9, DIR.
Hoenes will lecture on the subject of
Systematic Child Study" Other lee
lures and entertainments for the even
ings will be announced later.

TALE OF A RUNAWAY PIG.
His Fondness For Potato Patches Led Him
Into Trouble.


In the old home we once had q funny
little pig. He was generally to be seen
in the act of running away. Hardly ever
do I remember seeing his face toward
me. He also had knack of getting
away from all the other pigs.
The field next the house-the "home
aeld," as we used to call twas a kind
of common for the hogs, cattle and
fowls. The next was a potato field, and
the little pig had taken it into his head to
get into that one. How he got in no one
could tell. for the field was we'll fenced
and there was no opening through which
he could enter. How did he get in?
One day watched. He wandered in
a sort of unnoticesble way toward q
crooked old log, across which the fence
had been built.
Suddenly, though closely watching,
lost sight of my little friend. But before
had recovered from my surprise I was
astonished to see him in the potato field.
"Well, now, that is very strange"
said. "Row did he do it?'
Went to the old log, and. 10, it was
hollow. The whole trick became quite
clear to me.
went into the potato field to drive
him out, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log SO that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he
had the best of me entirely. He either
could not or would not see the log and
maintained such All air of ignorance on
that point that had to give up the task
in despair, drive him out by the gate
and bring him home by long, round
about way.
The next day made up my mind to
play trick on him, and did. went
out very early and moved the log just a
little so that both ends would be in the
"home field"
Then stood at some distance off and
watched. never was more amused in
my life. He separated himself from the
other pigs and then went toward the old
log and got in and through it and (as
he evidently thought) got out into the
potato field. could understand this by
the way he Immediately began to sniff
for the potatoes. But, finding none, he
seemed somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he
was still in the home field" and he con-
cluded that he had not gone through the
log. So he went through it once more,
but only to find himself again in the
s'home field"
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in astonishment.
I could clearly see that expression on
his face. For moment he stopped and
was evidently thinking very hard. Once
more he got through the log, with the
same result Of finding himself in the
''home field.'
This time, am sure, if he could have
talked he would have cried out,
"Spooks!"
He stood quite still for few seconds,
shifted the air, and I could distinctly
see the bristles on his back gradually
rising up on end. Suddenly he uttered
apeculiar kind Of "bock" and ran with
all his might toward the other pigs.
The little pig was never seen in that
part of the field again. Many a time we
tried to drive him to the old log, but we
could not get him to go.-Ladies' Jour.
nal.

swell to horrible proportions and out Of
all semblance to the legs, arms and

where the legs have become SO swollen
that they measured ~ feet in circum-

CALHOUN'S MISSION.
SENSATIONAL REPORTS ARE
SET AT REST.
Calhoun Will Make No Report Until
He Returns, and He Will Then
See the President Personally.

Washington. May 22-To set at rest
the common expectation that more or
less sensational report upon the situa-
ton in Cuba is looked for any day
from the president. it may be stated
that it is not part of the understand
ing that Mr.. Calhoun went to Havana
to make a report by mail or at ali I'M
til he returns to Washington, and then
his communications may be made to
the president verbally, although it is
understood that Mr.. Calhouns official
duty is to investigate the Ruiz case.
Speaker Reed was at the state de-
partment today and conferred some
time with Secretary Sherman, pre-
sumahly touching the legislative pro-
gress of the Morgan resolution. An
interview between the president and
Senator Burrows. VINO has taken a.
strong position in resistance to the
resolution at this time gives evidence
that the Cuban situation is still occupy
ing a large share of the attention of
the administration The stormy events
at Madrid yesterday have not escaped
observation, and there is some appre-
hension of reflex action in Cuba

HOW to Raise the wind.

Madrid, May 22.-Senator J. Naverro
Revarter, minister of finance, in the
budget statement to the cortes esti-
mates the revenue at S53,271,771 pesetas.
($170, 473, S02). And the expenditures az
1913, 1851 pesetas (S16S, 656,11A. In order
to provide a revenue to meet the eX-
traordinary budget the minister of
finance proposes to raise a loan with
the Almaden quicksilver mines as Sc
curity and to obtain navigation dues
to the amount of 100000 In order to
meet the increased expenditures and
the 100000 600 required to meet the in
terest and for the redemption of the
late loans guaranteed by the customs
house, a temporary tax of 10 per cent
on all taxes except land has been pro-
posed.
By this means it is expected the TO-
00o 900 will be obtained.
The colonial department will con-
tribute 100000 and the balance of
20, 600, 900 will be raised by a loan on
the proposed petroleum monopoly, Civ
ing the exclusive privilege of dealing
in this product during the next 20
years.
Should the colonial department be
unable TO pay its share of the increased
expenditures, it is calculated that a
portion Of another loan can be OBJ
tanned by a proposed monopoly on ex
ploSiVeS.

Another President Gone Wrong.

Washington, May 22.-Mr. Coffin,
acting comptroller of currency, has re-
ceived a telegram announcing the ar
rest of John F. Johnson, president of
the State National bank, Logansport.
Ind, for criminal violations of the ma
tional bank act. Coffin said he had in
formation that Johnson had procured
from the bank about $4,000 on forged
notes and S100,0 additional by making
false entries in individual ledgers and
by certificates OF deposit. Before his
arrest the transfer to the bank of
property valued at 100000 was pro-
cured from johnson by the bank ex
aminer acting under instructions from
the comptroller's Office. Coffin is of
the opinion that the available funds of
the bank, including the capital stock,
will be more than sufficient to pay all
depositors in full.

Maximum Freight Rate Case.

Chicago, May 22-The Posts Wash
ington special says:
Monday the supreme court will prob
ably hand down a, decision in the ia
nous Nebraska maximum freight rate
case. involving the right Of states to
fix arbitrary transportation rates for
railroads AS in other important cases
in the supreme court advance news of
the term of the decision has reached
the interested parties. III this instance
the information is typed" as being
favorable to the railroad, and holds
that the state in the enactment of this
kind of legislation is encroaching upon
the province of congress, in which is
vested the sole right of control Of in
terState commerce.
The decision, as foreshadowed, while
hailed as a victory for the roads, is
thought to go farther than the trans
portation interests like and more
sweepingly than in any previous pro-
nouncement of the supreme court es-
tablishes the power of congress TO
regulate the railroads.

DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Ha Lay, Chinaman, Takes a Fatal
Dose OF Poison.

Yesterday about p. m. a China
man. Ha Lay. attempted to commit
suicide. He mixed up some kind of a
dose in his hand. the greater part of
which seemed TO be indigo such as used
in laundry work. Then ne laid down
beside him big knife and swallowed
the dose He evidently intended to use
the knife in case the indigo did not
have the desired effect. The poison,
however was sufficient to make him
feel very i'll, and he will probably die.
The occurrence took place near the
bled and sent for the city physician,
but he said he could do nothing and
another doctor was sent for who also
reported the case as hopeless.
Ha Lay has a cousin in Ogden named
Ha Hing, who is quite prominent The
Celestial says that according to a Chi
nese paper Ha Lay was implicated in
a murder in San Francisco some time
ago and another report has it that he
has been subject to spells of insanity,
particularly was this so when he lived
in Denver q. year or two ago. After
he took the poison the report spread
that he was dead and some of his COM
patriots sent for an undertaken. while
the other Cinnamon had sent for the
doctor. The undertaken arrived
promptly with q coffin and when he
heard the circumstances deemed it best
not 10 take it back and he was right,
for the man died q o'clock this morn
ing. He seems 10 have been a steady,
sober, indus trious fellow. bat his ac-
quaintances say he had been contem-
plating suicide for two weeks.
