About Teachers Wages.

Hiawatha World: We used to
think the Hiawatha school board was
wrong in not paying teachers higher
wages; but we have reason to change
our mind. The school board has
saved money enough to get out Of
debt by making slight reductions in
wages. And the board is not paying
out more than comes in, which is al
ways the safest and best way to do
business. In Abilene the price for
grade teachers is about the same as
in Hiawatha. Grade teaching Is COM
paratively easy work. A grade teach.
er is well paid at $40 month. Abb
lene pays $S5 and $40. A primary
teacher should be paid as literally as
possible.

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Some Old Tricks Are Being Re-

Burglars entered A. K. Vanderbilt's
on southside Sunday and took Vans
trousers out in the yard. They took
the money, watch and chain and re.
turned the keys to the table in the
house; then they left.
Since Saturday N. A. Hollands
blacksmith shop has lost large ham,
mer and chisel and D. Blubaugh a
chisel, so that somebody is prepared

On Friday night during the band
concert some one lifted q screen in
the rear Of Gleissner's drugstore and
stole three half gallons Of slate color
floor paint. Last week a harness,
forks and various other articles were
stolen from Mr.. Gleissners barn and
one or two barn implements at DR..
Felty's.
The thieving going on is evidently
ty home talent and one Of these days
there will be capture that will sur.

In closing his editorship Of the Lit
erary Notes in Harper's Magazine
after 70 years Of superior service in
that department Lawrence Hutton
says: "He has looked, in books and
in authors, for what was good rather
than for what was bad While 1t is
very much easier to blame than TO
praise, he has tried to show his ap-
probation Of the best efforts Of the
older writers, and to encourage, not
to dishearten, the younger. When
the volume submitted to him showed
what he felt were signs Of indefensi-
BILE carelessness, incompetency or In
delicacy, he has preferred to remain
silent altogether rather than to con-
denim. This may not be the element
of true literary criticism, but 1t seems
to him to be the spirit Of the Golden
Rule" 1t is not only the true spirit
Of literary criticism but the spirit Of
right living that Mr.. Hutton has
given. The man who follows it and
adds the further rule OF minding his
own business will succeed.

The Abilene National is also taking
subscriptions. This county will
probably ask for at least $4,000
worth, probably more. 1t does not
look much like hard times. The pref
erence will be given to small subscrib-
ers, the $40 bonds being issued first.
The higher amounts will only be is
