Former Teacher OF Graded School
Honored.

ttoHofths
The many friends OF Prof. A. L. Hardy
OF st. JohDsbury will be interested to
know that be has been elected superin-
tendent OF schools at Amherst, Mass, and
will enter upon his work September list.
MIR. Hardy bad charge OF the schools here
for four or five years and did a grand
work. He found the schools poorly graded
and doing Indifferent work. Mr.. A. w.
Edison, no had been here for year gave
the good work start. Mr.. Hardy at once
began to investigate the best methods and
the best schools in the country, and
brought to the schools very helpful sug-
gestions. Under his wise and energetic
leadership, seconded by fine corps OF
teachers, he did fine piece OF work. He
stayed long enough to see marvellous i'm
provement in the school. He established
the classical and college preparatory
courses and sent out the first boys and
girls to college. Under him was the first
graduation. He laid the foundation for a
school library. He was wise, discreet.and
while he did not antagonize, yet was pro-
gressive, energetic and up-to- date.
Perhaps his best work was In the super
vision OF the lower grades where the inn
provement was very marked. He was a
pioneer in the improved methods of graded
school work.
A man OF marked individuality, he has
which remains to this day. He laid the
foundation for school hich, under the
efficient management OF his successors,
has been the honor and pride OF the town,
sending scores OF boys and girls to college
and into the world well equipped for their
work.
While here he advocated admitting nom
resident students, and when be left there
were IS pupils paying tuition.
At st. Jobnsbury his work has been
largely in the class room, but he is remem-
bered here as great organizer, a man re-
scurceful in plans and energetic in carry
ing them to a successful competitions
hustler in the best sense of the word.
In all this work and life his assistant,
Miss Allis, now Mrs. Hardy, shared with
him the duties and success OF the school.
We believe he will make great success
in his new work, and the best wishes of
many old-time friends at Randolph go
with him and Mrs. Hardy.

time he gets an opportunity he goes into the prison yard looking for bits of ribbon, pieces of thread and tin and such like. These he will sew on the outside of his coat, and each time new article is added to the collection he will strut up and down for over an hour with not a word to say, but a pleased look on his face that might be worn by small child.
 There is a big overgrown boy in the alley named Jackson. Three or four times day he takes two large buckets and goes to get water for all the deni- Zens of Crank alley If anybody else usurps this prerogative he regards it as an insult and will complain to every official whose ear he can reach for a week. He always walks past the hy drant and comes around between it and the wall before turning on the water. 1 have seen him walk ten feet past the hydrant and put himself to the incon- venience of makin" a large circle in order to come around between to get the water from his favorite position.
 "A Chinaman named An Gin leaves his cell and goes out in the alley to eat his food no matter whether the sun is shining or it is raining pitchforks. He would starve for a week rather than eat inside his cell. Every time he eats he takes his coat off and places 1t over his head so as to conceal his face. Then the food is taken up piece by niece and eaten out of sight of the other prisoners.

~ EVEN miles north and a little to
 the east of the Cheyenne Indian
 agency in Custer County. Mon J tana, is a we'll filled with ice that
 excites much curiosity among the ranchers and cattle men of that section. Every cowboy who visits the we'll has much to tell and invariably advances his own explanation. Many ingenious theories are given which tend to indicate that mankind of all degrees of scientific knowledge put forth an eff fort to find the origin of things; how ever. they all agree that the ice forms in the well during the summer and that it actually thaws during the winter. This apparent contradiction of the natural laws that govern the outside world has carried the fame of this well for miles around and people have travelled great distances to witness the formation of icicles during the hot weather of July.
 This well is within few hundred feet of the summit of the Little Wolf Noun tains, on the north slope, at the very beginning of Greenleaf Creek, which empties into the Rosebud eight miles below and about fifty miles from where the Rosebud joins the Yellowstone River This portion of the mountains is covered with a dense growth of tall pines
 Fourteen years ago three men pros pecting for silver, mistaking certain colors in the ricks, began sinking a shaft; at fifteen feet it was disagree ably cold; at twenty feet the cold had increased so rapidly that they were thoroughly frightened. They could feel currents of cold air rushing up from the crevices in the rock; they imagined they were digging into some mysterious underground cavern; they had heard just enough of wonderful adventures of digging into caves and underground lakes, and being alone in this wilderness where the very stiffness permitted the ears to hear and the mind to ina zine all manner of grewsome powers hid be- meath the rock, so thoroughly filled them with the fear of impending dan ger that they abandoned the work which has since gained such renown.
 The summits of the Little Wolf Mountains are covered with scoria which has all the appearance and tex ture of a good grade of tiling. It is usually red but varies in color through all the shades down to black. These varying colors give the beautiful tints to the thousands of buttes throughout the bad lands. In comparatively recent geological times vast beds of Ignite coal were formed over the eastern half of Montana extending into Western Dakota. The burning of these beds of coal was the beginning of the bad land formation; the fine deposits of clay above the coal was burned as brick are burned In a kiln and formed the cporia. wharo the heat was greater and rock or sand was present 1t melted and mixed with the coal and coal ash, forming large cinder-like rocks which are sometimes mistaken for lava. AS the coal burned out from beneath the clay, now baked into scoria and melted into cinders, broke into small divisions and fell promiscuously down into the pits thus formed. Volcanic ash is found scattered over the Little Wolf Mountains and the eastern portion of Montana. It must have drifted with the wind from powerful eruptions in
