The privilege Of parting ones hair as
one deems best is liable to break up a.
school at Hartford City, a little town on
the Ohio, south of Bellaire, O. Last fall
the board of education of that town
employed Miss Jennie Nader for prin-
cipal Miss Nader is young and pretty
woman of advanced ideas and polished
college education. Weekly she has given
lectures TO her pupils on various sub
jects of interest. Her last lecture dealt
on personal adornment, cleanliness and
neatness. She gave particular atten-
ton to the proper methods of combing
the hair. She denounced the habit of
young men and boys of parting their
hair in the middle and was particularly
severe in denouncing femininity in
boys.
The boys paid strict attention to it,
so much so that one of the older onesi
called a meeting. 1t was then decided
that every boy should come to school
with his hair parted in the middle, I'M
der penalty of a thrashing for anyone
who failed. When the boys came to-
school each had his hair parted in the
middle as carefully as possible, many,
indeed, having parted it, who had not
combed it before in months.
The teacher thought she would get
even with them for this little diversion,
so she went into the hallway and called
the boys out one at q time and made
them part their hair on one side. This
work was kept up for the whole outfit.
At first few people in the town cared
how their sons parted their hair. Now,
however, many believe that Miss Nader
has infringed upon the personal liber-
ties Of the great American citizen.
They have consequently told their boys
to part their hair as they pleased. Con-
sequently Miss Nader was surprised to
see all the members of her school appear
with hair parted in the middle by the
express order of their parents. The
teacher is greatly incensed and insists
she will run her school as she deems

How a Donkey Found a Mine.

The history of mine discoveries in
the West is full of strange and a mus
ing incidents. Many of the most cele-
brated mines or lodges have been
found by accident. Some of these ac-
cidental discoveries are laughable in
the extreme. One of them occurred
in connection with the discovery of
one of the richest mines in the C9ur
d'Alene country in Idaho. In this
case common donkey or jackass or
"burro'' as one chooses to term it,,
was credited with the finding of the
mine.
The Norther Pacific Railways finely
illustrated tourest book, Wonderland
81, has chapter on mining in the
West, in which the incident alluded
to is given. 1t shows how, from slight
or trivial things, great results may
flow. There are also articles on yell
lowstone Park, Alaska, cattle raising
etc. By sending six cents in postage
stamps to Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass
Agent, st. Paul, Mimi, anyone can
obtain copy of this book. 1t is full
of historical fact and descriptive mar
rative, and valuable as a school text
book.

The east has it's "Mavericls" as well
as the west, butyery likely notso many.
Since the cold weather, and especially
since the big snowstorm, the Humane
society has had complaints of unclaimed
cattle roaming about in the woods of
the neighboring towns, reports the
Hartford Comm Courier. Near the
reservoir in West Hartford and Farm
ington three yearling heifers have been
reported in a half-starved condition and
so wild that it was almost impossible
to get near them. One was reported
near Pipe swamp in Windsor and Gem
cral Agent Dwight W. Thrall, of the
society detailed a man to go up there
and shoot the animal. This was done,
the heifer being killed instantly with
the first shot after getting within rea-
sonable distance.
The probabilities are that these ami
mails are strays from some pasture dur
ing the summer season and have been
given up for lost. During the early win
ter, before the ground is covered with
snow, they manage to pick up enough
to eat by picking away in sheltered
places at the little remaining vegeta-
ton and keep warm by seeking the
deep thickets of woods, notably pine on
hemlocl, where the fallen leaves make
comfortable bed. When the snow
comes, however, they wander from tho
forest into the open and approach tha
settlements, hoping for something to
eat. They seldom come within reach
of aid, and if they are not shot they die

The primary law in Kentucky seems
to be about one OF the best political in
situations they have in that state. 1t
has been tried now. and although 1t Is
helping Republicanism, it is by the
same road lifting the state to a higher
plane Of manhood. 1t is so unique a
law that 1t has attracted unusual at
tention, and 1t should become more gen.
eral. In way. the primary election
Is as formal as the general election 1T
self.
When voters register for a general
election. among other things they have
to declare to what party they belong
and it is recorded. II voter desires
to remain neutral he says so. But one
who desires to remain neutral Is not
entitled to vote at the primary OF any
party nor is any elector allowed to
vote at the primary Of another
party than the one to which he
is accredited. In other words. only those
who are willing to stand recorded as
avowed Republicans are allowed to
vote at Republican primary, and only
those who are willing to be recorded
as avowed Democrats are entitled to
vote at the primaries OF that party.
Those who are neither Republicans nor
Democrats are not entitled to help
either party make its nominations.
In other respects. the law is not dis
similar to that In this state. No cleo
pioneering Is allowed within fifty feet
Of the polls and the marking of ballots
for Identification is prohibited.
The independent voter cannot object
to the refusal OF a party organization
to permit him TO select its candidates.
yet there is one feature about the law
which would be undesirable where. as
In this state. the registration takes
place often many months before the
election. AT the beginning Of the year
man might declare himself as inde-
pendent. who would regret 1t when
subjected to the heat OF a CAMPAIGN.
Taking no part in the preliminary polit-
ical work of either organization, he
might become Indifferent ana so de-
prive good citizenship OF his aid in se-
lecting the best material. There ara

We are free and we are content with

favor OF the principles OF a party and
to support its nominees n reasonable
time before the election should be per-
mitted TO become member. II "a

Iiminary campaign that a man deter
