tory schools or this and other States, to
meet new conditions, but they are mere
" incidental Many who enter these
courses have their impulses to higher
intellectual growth aroused, and enter
other departments, and become scholars.
From these preparatory schools, which
the Doctor would ignore and discredit,
many men have gone forth to sweep the
honors at Trinity, the University, and
other colleges in this and other States,
and their representatives have not yet
failed to hold their own against those Of
other schools, either in college classes or
as thinkers and workers in human So
'ciety. This is the true and only test Of
excellence.
Unfortunately, too long the motto in
our State among our school brethren
has been: every man for himself, and
the Devil take the hindmost" So far,
we have looked in vain for any new
gospel of education to hbe brought to us
from beyond the borders in either direc-
ton.

not will depend on yourself. Good
evening. Mr.. Dunning."
Nobody had ever called Shiftless Rufe
Mr., Dunning before and the title scared
him far more than the notion of work
ing every day for IL long months. From
the time he left the big house that night
he was fit to drop the title "shiftless."
Next morning. as soon as it was light,
the sharp ring of his ak was heard
across the valley, biting out the chips
as he chopped down the first tree of lis
year long stent. Long before noon that
day his big. pulpy hands were blistered
and swollen and by shutdown they were
sight to behold. That night his moth
eT cried over them and urged him to stop
thinking about the proud, stuck-up
girl on the other side of the valley.

between whiffs at her clay pipe, while
she dressed Shiftless Rufe's hand. "Do

enough to work a whole year? Why,
it's puffickly ridiklis. Iallus knew you
was little light in the head. Rufe, but
didn't think you'd make fool of your
self for no conceited Sylvester girl"
To this and much more of the same
sort, both from his father and his
mother. Shiftless Rufe made no reply,
but while yet the next morning was
gray the sound of his busy ak was
again waited across the valley and this
continued to the going down of the sun.
And so it went on, day after day, all
the fall and through the winter. No
matter how deep the snow. or how

and see her after I've chopped cord
wood year. 1t won't be no fun, but
must have Kitty and if I've got to work
to git her, why, then have, and that's
oil there is about it,"
Sylvester was at first i.clined to be
angry at Kitty for trifling with Rufc,
but concluded to humor the situation
and bidding Kitty leave the room, told
the young man he was ready to make
bargain with him.
"You can cut cordwood off the es-

Then he called Kitty into the room.

WASHING BLANKETS.

Summer is the best time for washing
blankets. To do the work satisfactorily
fill tub half full of soft hot water in
which half bar of Ivory soap has been
dissolved, and wash gently with tho
hands. Rosin soap and hard rubbing
ruins blankets. When clean rinse wen,
hang on the line in the sun. AS soon as
dry, fold evenly and put away securely
in box or closet. Blankets washed

bad looking, and that he seemed twice
the man he had been before. She kept
perfect silence till her father had fin
ished. Then she reached out and took
Rufe's big, soft paw in her own small
hand-a hand that was calloused with
hard work in spite of it's littleness.
"Mr. Dunning." she said. II hope you'll
keep your bargain faithfully as shall
keep mine. After you have worked hard
