LIKE HOT CAKES.

no" HIS Agricultural Report Went
ON When Properly Placarded.
An ex-member of the legislature had
very large stock of state agricultural
reports in good-sized volumes piled up
in his law Office. It is nice new office
on Superior street, and his associates in
the profession who occupy the same
apartment considered the books a good
deal of an eyesore. The ex-memoer
himself is no longer an active tenant of
the room, having been elected to a
highly honorable position, and so, in
his absence, one of the associates de-
termined to dispose of the books in
the simplest manner known, aside from
total destruction. In short, he deter
mined to give them away.
Even that method he was afraid might
be little difficult to carry out, but he
went to a neighboring tenant, who is
clever with the marking brush, and
said:
wont you kindly fix me up some
kind of a card that will attract atten-
ton to lot of agricultural reports
want to give away? Something sort o.

way it read:

Attempted Robbery.

VIM. Simonson, a farmer residing
about four miles west of Henning, was
attacked by three masked men while
going to a neighbours. The assailants
fred at him, the bullet passing through
his hat, grazing the top of his head.
They also used knives. but did not in
flict any serious wounds. Mr.: Simon
son is powerful man and finally got
hold of his revolver, when he fred at
his assailants four times.

The lawyer was pleased with this
work of art. He loaded the Office boy
with volumes, and put the card on top.
Then the boy went down the stairs
and laid the books along the curb with
the card leaning against the pile. AS
he started upstairs for another load he
noticed that a small crowd was gather
ing. When he reached the sidewalk
with second load there wasn't book
left of the original lot. The card was
lying on the walk, and perhaps 20 peo-
pie were staring at it. As he advanced
a number of them grabbed the books
before he: could lay them down. They
met him at the front of the stairs when
he appeared with the third load, and a
swaying mass Of eager loiterers pressed
forward for more. They were on the
stairs waiting for him when he brought
the fourth load, and over the heads of
the crowd he could SEE. people running
from various directions to find out the
cause of the trouble Well, the books
were soon gone, and even the card went,
too. -, 1 :, 90. )

Teachers are required by section rs
OF the School Book Board Law to use
or cause to be used no other than the
authorized textbooks. Therefore it
becomes the plain duty of every teach
er to promptly introduce the new
books into his or her school at the
beginning of next term and use no
other. But little trouble will be ex-
perienced if teachers go about this in
the right way.
1t would be good plan for every
teacher to make canvass of the sub
district i'll which she has contracted
to teach before the beginning of school
and acquaint the patrons with the
compulsory attendance law, and the
change made in the textbooks, and
advise them what books to buy for
their children, and request that they
have the books when their children
enter school.
By consulting the last grade sheet
any teacher can tell about what books
every pupil will need to begin school
with.
1t would be we'll to find cut what
old text books the children have and
tell them that these will be taken at
the depositaries as part pay in ex-
change for new books on the same
branch
MeGufey's third, fourth and fifth
readers will be taken in exchange fol
the Pollard's readers allowing eleven
cents for each of these old books. In
our contract for the Pollard readers
and spoilers it was agreed that an old
book, even if it consisted of only q
cover and few leaves or number Of
leaves and a part of cover would be
taken at the regular exchange rates
for old books.
We would suggest that the Mont.
gomery Beginners American History
take the place of McGuffey's Fourth
Reader aud Lewis State History o.

1t was the Great Wallace Shows,
which had been so extensively adver-
tised during the past few weeks, ard
indeed it is great aggregation and
of the very best circus that ever ex-
hibited in Washington. Two per
formances were given yesterday to
crowded tents and enthusiastic audi
ences. Especially was this so of the
night crowd, which tested the seating
capacity Of the big canvas. Possibly
the best praise that can be bestowed
upon the show is to say that it is all
that has been claimed for it, which
means great deal in circus OF to-
day.
The parade feature of the circus was
splendid, and was enjoyed by thous-
ands of people who lined the streets
along which the line of march was
advertised. In the parade, which
was unusually lengthy. were chariots,
bands, horses, animals, male and fe-
male riders, clowns, troops of Orien-
tails, and last, but not least, nor most
silent Of all, came the steam calliope,
so necessary to circus parade. All
the equipments and accoutrements of
lookers-on. The horses, both draught
and racers, were handsome animals
and formed an interesting part in the
general makeup.
When the time for the grand entry
to take place finally arrived the tent
was we'll filled with typical audience.
Three rings, two large central stages.
and the usual complicated aerial APP
partus had been prepared, and all was
in readiness.
There was blare of trumpets, i'm
mediately followed by the strains of a
lively march struck up by the band.
Then began the grand entree, tri-
umphal pageant representing the
festival of Olympus, in which ele-
plants, camels, horses, chariots, and
troop of armored Amazons played
the prominent roles. After travelling
once around the track the parade
made its exit, leaving on the centre
stage the Amazons, two score of shape
ly women in pretty costumes.
The show was replete with interest

ceptionally good from beginning to
