The Progressive West.

1t is probable that no country has
ever invested SO much spiritual, moral
and monetary capital in education,
taking into account the brevity of its
history, as the west; 1t has done far
more for its intellectual life than the
east did in the same number of years,
says Hamilton w. Mable in Atlantic.
1t is in fact repeating the history of
the east; for it is eagerly assimilating
the experience of the race, expressed
in its thought, its art and Its history.
This is the impulse behind the passion
for knowledge; the instructive desire
to know what the race knows, and then
to cooperate in the race life and work.
In the face eofdeclamatoryd of declarations
Of independence of the past, this in
stinot steadily asserts itself and has
its way. Real freedom comes from
that mastery, through knowledge, of
historic conditions and race character
which makes possible free and intel
ngent use of experience for the pur-
poses of progress. This is the process
through which the west is now pass
ing, and which gives it's society q
deep and appealing interest. For out
of this movement for the clear realiza-
tion in its own consciousness of it's
race relationships and Inheritance,
modified by its own conditions and
shaped by Its own needs, are to come,
at no distant date, its own ideals.

Timid Nurse and Defective Indicator
Make u Good Ghost Story.

Make u Good Ghost Story.
Halloween night is spooky at best-even
out of doors, under a clear sky-and the
small boys, although we know them we'll
enough. in spite of their false noses and
the Gabriel-ike blasts of their horns, cause
us little shiver of fear. But Halloween
eve in a hospital is worse yet, and this
statement will be readily sustained by a
certain probationer in a private hospital
on the South Side.
Little Miss Green, the new probationer,
lad been suddenly called upon by the su-
perrin lendent to attend an emergency acc-
dent case, and. taking a book from her
desk, she quakingly proceeded to room 13,
with thoughts of the unlucky number and
grewsomeness Of Halloween spooks rum
ming through her head.
Presently she heard the cart at the door
and the low voices of the internes. A nurse
must always stand in the presence of a
doctor-even an iifterne-and Miss Green
sprang nervousy to her feet just as the
door was thrown open and the cart
pushed in.
why didn't you open the door?" asked
tho doctor.
But the girls tongue was paralyzed as
she gazed at the bandaged figure on the
cart. and she could make no reply. Per-
ceiving the impression his patient produced
assuringly:
quite a pie face, isn't she?''
"Oh, please, don't" begged the girl; and,
looking up appealingly, she found herself
alone with the patient. Rravely trying to
steady herself she lifted one of the woman's 8
hands. only to drop 1t with a cry Of terror
as the object moved its head from side to
side and tried to sit up. The cry brought
Miss Darling, the head nurse. Comprehend
ing the situation in all instant she kindly
explained that the woman was still under
the influence of the anaeathetic and would
probably die before recovering conscious
ness. which would be a blessing. Even as
she spoke the patient made a wild lurch
toward the edge of the bed and fell back
dead.
I'VE will cover her up for the present and
leave her as she is" said Miss Darling. You
may go to the office desk, Miss Green, and
answer bells until I come down from sup
per-"
The suppers were served on the fourth
floor, and Miss Green felt cold chills chase
each other up her spine as she realized
that she would be alone on the third floor.
Taking up her book she began reading, and
was suddenly startled by the buzz of a
bell. Glancing hurriediy at the Indicator,
she was spellbound with fear. No 10 was
registered. For several seconds she could
not move. Then. with a supreme effort,
she got up and ran shrieking to the kitchen.
The head nurse was attracted by the noice,
and after listening to the girls dsjointed
explanation, calmly replied:
You silly girl! Don't you know that
the register is out OF order and No. 1s al
ways registers for No, 2?"

During the course of trial at Wood
ward, o. T., one day recently witness
admitted to the presiding judge that he
had revolver in his pocket, and the
court fined him $2s. The local paper
says: "When the Judge fined Tom Word
for carrying gun every other man in
the courtroom sat erect and smoothed
his coattails down to hide his arma-
ment. When recess was taken every
man made for the nearest outlet and
hid out his battery. Best estimates
