Knew There Was Cheating.

Over the river a virtuous spasm came

"gams' Were pulled" Among other
witnesses for the State the name of
Simpkins was called
Mr.. Simpkins, who was a pasty-faced
young man, rose from his seat and
walked to the witness stand. After
the oath had been administered to him
and the usual preliminary questions had
been asked. he was told TO go on and
tell his story.

vinced that he was cheating. Finally
l knew he was cheating and drew out
of the game. Then l sat and watched
him for while. and l saw him deal
big hands to the man he wanted 20
beat, and then deal himself bigger
ones. 1t was scandalous. He stacked
the cards and held them out, and did all
sorts of disreputable things. 1 saw
this and am prepared to prove it, If
there Is anything I abhor it is cheating
at cards"
Wait moment, Mr. Simpkins," In

What was 1t that first attracted your
attention to the fact that cheating was
going on?"
Mr.. Simpkins fidgeted a bit in his
chair and then said: Why, was in a
pot with this man, and when it came
to showdown, he had four kings?''
And why did that convince you that
he was cheating2"
Because-because" - stammered
Mr.. SimplSins. and then ne stopped
short.

A Small Matter to Him,

There is a good story in the history
OF the Highlow National Bank" said
a director of the institution who was
conversing with newspaper friend.
Our organization of that institution
was looked upon as a somewhat ques-
tionable experiment in practical finance,
but the event proves that we were
equal to the undertaking. One of the
first things was to create confidence.
To this end we interested as many solid
farmers as we could and then clinched
the. matter by appointing the ru.aI
stockholders to select a President AS
a matter of course, he was one of their
own number, and notice of the honor
conferred upon him was sent as a
Christmas token.
This farmer President was as honest
as the day is long, but his special fit
ness for the position Is open to quts-
ton. We received from Washington q
lot of bills which, as you know. had to
be signed by the cashier and the Presi-
dent The cashier affixed his signature
and then sent the UNCUT sheets to the
President. who took off his coat. stirred
up the CRATE fire and rolled up his
sleeves preparatory to the unusuar task
placed before him. He scratched away
for hours. and finally returned the
sheets to the cashier That prudent Of
ficiai soon discovered that there were
bills missing to the amount of about
$500, but inferred that the President
had charged the amount to himself.
and said nothing. After waiting till
the new year called for a statement, the
cashier called the attention of the Pres
ident to the discrepancy.

While we have been unfortunate
in our public schools for several
years 90 account Of combination
Of circumstances for which no one
could be held responsible, we have
now reached a point, by close and
judicious financial management,
where we may begin to rise toward
that euviabie position which we
have occupied in the past
The first step to be taken by the
school board should be the intro
ductiou of the first and second
years work of the high school
course.
BY wise and judicious selection
of teachers we may begin to build
up q graded system of work that
we have not had for the past four or
five years. While the teachers may
be asked to continue to work on
shcrt time for the next two years
the hope of future reward will in.
spire them to make their annual
sacrifice. Let us place 1T the head
of our schools q woman who last
year proved herself equal to the oc-
casion when in a single week she
brought order out of chaos and put
the school in marching order.
Baxter Springs has given to Ga
lena three teachers who are capable
of managing a school building far
better than any man that we have
had since Prof Bowman left. Mrs.
Myers, once known as Ella Funk,
has for three years had charge of q
building containing 500 pupils, and
Miss Rebecca Hunter a building
containing more than 400; and Mise
Laura Person, who can fill any
place, though she is the smallest of
the three.
We may congratulate ourselves
that for the first time in the history
of our city we have placed upon
our school board a lady of expert
ence as a teacher. Mrs. Brewster's
ten years work in the school room
Eith her many woasasiS qualities,
will add much to the efficiency of
the board. While two of the old
members of the board, Mr.. Harvey
and Mr.. willard, will look carefully
to the financial interests of our
schools, it 10 equally necessary that
we have some one to look after the
quality of the work of the teachers.
II is az much the duty of the board
to visit the schools and judge with
their own eyes the kind of work
their teachersare doing as for them
to 60 their own fields and examine
the work their hired help are doing,
for only one may be interested in
the work in the field, while q whole
community 10 interested in the work
of our public schools.
Let the entire community take a
deeper interest, and especially every
parent, for their presence in the
school room would be the strong
est proof to their children that
they are interested in their educa-
tion.
Let our schools be graded this
year before the morning for work to
begin. Last year two weeks were
wasted before any efficient work
was accomplished. Friday and Sat-
