CAREFUL GREEK PARENTS.
Boys Were Escorted to School Just
Girls Are Now.


The extraordinary care that the Gre
clan boy received in his formative years
made his moral training more effective
than that inculcated by the most careful
of modern parents. His general educa-
| ton, coupled with skillful and continu-
GUS physical instruction, produced a
moral cultivation very similar and fully
as strict as that the Christian father
deems necessary for his daughters.
A pedagogue, generally an old and
trusted slave, led the boys to school and
called for them after it closed, carried
TIE books, looked out for the little boys,
kept the older ones from fighting and
falling into bad company and had q
general oversight of their conduct and
street form. He was by no means
schoolmester or even private tutor, not
even being allowed to enter the school
room. Oftentimes ignorant in the ex-
treme, he was chosen simply because of
his loyalty TO the family and some
times, fear, because he was unfit for
any other occupation. Though the butt
of the boys ridicule as well as that of
the comic poets and low wits of the day,
ne did an incalculable service in prevent
ing vicious co-npanionshipsa and keeping
pure the minds of those intrusted to his
charge.
The child was never sent of TO board
ing school, but boys attended the day
school; town life prevailed. Besides,
that sentiment that zealously guarded
the boys purity with n pedado9ue from
his sixth to his sixteenth year could
brook no intermission of personal over
sight. Education was essentially pri-
vate, the state having jurisdiction sim
ply over the moral and not the profes-
sional standing Of the teaCher.-PopU-

FARMLAND

You need not travel to a star:
The way Is easy and not far
An hours walk. a mile from town.
The herons OF the old lagoon
Lead you along the path: for sign
Are arrowhead blossoms, frail and fine.
Beside the water: then the wood
Takes you, but only by the blood
Leaping. and by the sudden start
OF the oyerfull and thrilling heart
You know you see II face to face.
The greenwood bowers Il sunny space
For song sparrow tinkling, and below
July's green lap Is full of snow,
Is drifted rich with white and pink,
OF bouncing bet from brink to brink:
The haunted air resounds between
With humminS birds, obscure and keen
Like burnt out stars that dart and float,
With but last fire to the throat.
You saw but common summer flowers?
Heard but hum that drowsed the hours:
Your blood leaped not nor shook you
hearth
All, well, l know no other chart!
The path Is for your feet as far
As that which lessons TO star.

Grent shooter. of Europe.

In Europe, where the question OF a
game supply does not enter into consid-
GRAFTON, killing for count is recognized
as legitimate and sportsmanlike. He is
considered to have made q record of hon.
or who has bagged the largest numbers
of birds or other game. Thus we read Of
one Trauttmansdorff - Prince Carl
Trauttmansdorff-wh has to his credit
for a single days shooting the slaughter
of S62 head of game, with the best bag
of pheasants. 303; of cartridges, 632;
of hares, 416; of rabbits, 63S; OF roe
buck, I2; of fallow deer, 90, and of
blackjack, II, and best years count
of 10, S33 head of assorted game. An
other record smasher is Earl dc Gray.
whose exploits have been duly tabulated
for a series of years, from 1867 to 1895.
His pheasants score was Ill, 1l9, with
SO, 4O1 partridges, AZ, 46S grouse, &c, 747

about II, 900 annually. This is a record
which the most Industrious market
shooter in this country would needs
work hard to equal. In very truth the
noble sportsman must have been mon
omaniac in the field. Yet for all his
slaughter the game supply where he shot

The indianapolis Journal says that
lone is net a very careful observer of
the trend of public sentiment if he
failed to discover that the sentiment in
favor of policy which looks ultimate
ly to an Independent popular govern
ment by the people of the islands,
guaranteed by this government, is
gaining ground. That is the proposed
policy toward Cuba, which is near at
hand, and why should it not be for the
Philippines, far away?"

the next presidential election. are to
pass on this question.
Mr.. Bryan pointed out that
The flag was raised upon Canadian
\ soil during the war of 1912, and it
was hauled down when peace was re-
stored. The flag was planted upon
Chapultepec during the war with
Mexico, and it was hauled down when
the war was over"
He might have added that Nav IS.
1905, we captured Derne, Tripoli, and
| raised the American flag there, only
to haul it down June 3.
He might have added that March
IL, 1872, we seized Amelia island and
Fernandina, Fla, then Spanish, raised
our flag and established a custom
house there, only to abolish the Gus
tom house, haul down the flag and
restore the territory to Spain May 16,
1915.
He might have added that April 6,
1918, that combative and unconquer-
able flag-defender, Andrew Jackson,
took st. Marks, in Spanish Florida.
and that a short time afterward we
hauled down our flag and withdrew.
He might have added that during
the Columbian rebellion Admiral
Jouett raised our flag on the Isthmus
of Panama and treated the country as
temporarily American, only to haul
down our flag and turn the territory
over to the Columbian government as
soon as it got upon its feet.
But MIR. Bryan had an instance and
= precedent right at hand. The
morning papers announce, he said,
"that Gen. Lee ordered the flag hauled
down in Cuba yesterday because it was
raised too soon"-alluding to the '.too
previous" action of Russell Harrison
in raising the flag over one of the forts
near Havana. The flag will be raised
in Cuba again on Jan. IT, said Mr..
Bryan, ''but the president declares in
his message that it will be hauled
down as soon as stable government
is established"
Not even the president will deny the
accuracy of the aptness of this asser-
ton, nor will he and his supporters
find it easy to escape the logic of Mr..
Bryan's question, Who will deny
to the people the right to haul down
the flag in the Philippines if they de-
sire when a stable government is es-
tablished there?"
There is something more than elo-
quent rhetoric-there is historic and
fundamental truth-in Mr.. Bryan's
declaration:
Our flag stands for an indissoluble
union of indestructible states. Every
state is represented by star and
every territory sees in the constitution
a star of hope that will some day take
its place in the constellation. The
mission of that flag is to float, not
over conglomeration of common
wealths, but over The Land of the
Free and the Home of the Brave, and
to that mission it must remain forever
true, foreS er true"
Is there not truer and higher pa
triotism in this appeal to the intellect
and conscience of the country than
was expressed in the presidents ques-
ton directed to the ''hurrah" element
in an unthinking mob?-"Who will
haul down that flag"

FAKE "FENCES."
A Little Trick That Is worked In
Baxter street.

Little Trick That Is worked In
Baxter Street.
"There was time and that not so
very long ago." remarked an old time
puller il, when almost every other
store in Baxter street was fence, or
pretended to be, in order to give custom
ers the idea that they were getting good
bargains. The clerl, who took a hesitat-
ing customer aside and Whispered
fence was generally sure of a sale
There are 10 genuine fences in Baxter
street now, becau ie clothing, shoes and
hats are so cheap, but some of the stores
still pretend 20 sell stolen goods.
"When a customer in one of these
stores has looked everything over in the
shop and hasn't made purchase. the
salesman tells him that he has little
fence down stairs and urges upon him
the necessity of keeping it quiet ON &C
count of the police. OF course the GUS
toner won't say word. So down stairs
they go to the alleged fence, which gen.
orally proves to be big trunk packed
with goods.
''WhiIe showing the contents of the
trunk the salesman keeps up a running
yarn about the famous criminals who
brought the goods to - re-.
Finally, after showing lot of stuff
of the same quality and pattern the
customer refused to buy up stairs, the
salesman gets him 10 try ON something,
and as quality, workmanship and per-
feet ft always go with fence goods,
there is sale made This fake fence
answers sale purposes as well as the
genuine, concluded the puller in, land
there is no risk attached to it. New

The Spaniards have taken home
from Havana the dust of Columbus to
be inferred in Spanish consecrated
soil. There is something pathetic in
the veneration the Spanish feel for the
memory and ashes of Columbus. That
they had the privilege of transport
ing to Spain the remains of Columbus
was balm to their wounded pride,
the only consolation they received in
all the war.

HANNA WINS.
He Gets SO Votes in the House and II
in the Senate.
JUST THE RIGHT MAJORITY.
Nothing Ever Seen Like the Excitement In
Both Chambers Republican senators
Cheer Themselves HOarse with
Calls for Hanna and Victory.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 11.-Marcus A.
Hanna received a total of 70 votes in
both houses of the Legislature to-day
Sc in the house and II in the senate
and in the joint session Wednesday he
will undoubtedly be declared elected
United States senator.
There was great excitement when
the house was called to order, the
effort to keep out the noisy crowds by
having admission tickets having
failed. The democratic caucus last
night had resolved to support McKis-
son, of Cleveland, free silver repub-
lican, for senator, and when the vote
was taken five republicans voted with
them. The cheering as the votes of
Griffith of Union, Manuel of Montgom-
cry, Joyce of Guernsey, Drost Kemper
and Lane of Hamilton were cast for
Hanna was tremendous. When the
result of the ballot was announced as
Hanna So, McKisson 40, Warner l,
Wiley and Lentz 1 there was consid-
cradle stir on the democratic side.
Speaker Mason announced that Mar
Gus A. Hanna, having received a ma
iority of the votes of the house, was
the choice of that body for the
short term. The cheering outside
the halls for Hanna was re-echoed in
the ears of the members as the result
was announced The ballot was then
taken for the long term, and it result
ed the same, its announcement being
greeted with another long and loud
demonstration. At 12:15 o'clock the
house adjourned and the hall was used
for jollifcation meeting. with the
crowd singing, Praise God, from
Whom All Blessings Flow"
The vote in the senate for the long
term stood 10 for McKission and II for
Hanna, the same as upon the ballot
for the short term. With the II in the
senate and SO in the house Hanna had
just the requisite votes for his election
with all present, but in the absence
of Representative Cramer, democrat,
who is dangerously sick, Hanna has
one to spare. In the senate chamber
when the vote from the house was an
nounced the republican senators stood
up in their chairs aud upon the floor
and shouted themselves hoarse with
! calls for Hanna and victory. Nothing
like it was ever seen in an Ohio senate

A Mining Industry Which Is Growing In
Extent and Importance.
JOPLIN, Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE impor-
lance of Missouri's lead and zinc mines
has caused State Mine Inspector Quin-
by to prepare detailed report of the
growth and profits of this industry.
After giving brief sketch of the early
history of mineral discoveries in this
state Mr. Quinby tells of the wonder
full growth of lead and zinc mining.
His report shows that more than $50,-
OO6 900 worth of ore has been produced
in four counties of southwest Missouri
since 1878, when zinc was first found
here. The zinc ore deposits" he
SAYS, "are found in chambers from 40
to 200 feet from the surface, as mined
at present, but the output at a much
shallower depth has been great Lead
ore deposits are found nearer the sur
face and the zinc ore beneath, although
frequently the two ores are mingled in
broken mass of lines tone"
