"Yes," howled the eaten cur.

Then pick up that tobacco and
throw it out. Quick, or l shall take
off your coat and wear out another
pointer on you."
Ned Dock picked up the tobacco,
and when the teacher opened the door
for him to throw it out he ran bare
headed like a deer in the direction of
his home, followed by his frightened
brother.
During the rest of the day Robert
continued as if nothing had happened,
and his school was model of order.
School had just been dismissed for
the day, when Ned Docks father and
Ned Docks uncle, both trustees and
powerful men under so, came to the
school and demanded an explanation.
Robert saw that these Aen meant
fight, but that they were made of the
same material as the younger bullies.
He explained, and said in conclusion:
"lf either of you men came to nv
school l should expect you to obey
me-"
''But if we didn't do so 2" asked Ned's
uncle.
Then I should make YOU"
do you think you could?"
II don't know "hether you intend
coming to my school or not, Mr..
Dook,' said Robert, but know pref
ty we'll why you and your brother are
here. Your family has been curse
to this district, but they must not
stand in my way" Here he rose and,
locking the schoolhouse door, he put
the key in his pocket and said as he
came back: 'lf either of you, or both
of you together, imagine that can
not fog you as quickly as if you were
boys, III undertake to undeceive YOU"
The Docks exchanged glances. They
were flogged without striking a blow.
They offered their hands to Robert
and called him a brick, and told him
to do as he pleased from this time on
and they would stand by him.
Robert took them at their word and
district 10, from being the worst, be-
came the very best school in the
county.
Robert practiced law near by, and
the Docks became his clients, not that
they had high admiration for his
intellectual requirements, but because
they believed that the ability to resist
was primary qualification for law
yer, and Robert had that quality in
perfection.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Matter-Of-Fact Girl.

In the county Of Wicklow lies the
picturesque vale of Avoca, famous in
song. Here is the confluence of two
rivers, the Avonmore and Avonbee,
which bears the name of "The Meeting g
of the Waters" Two British tourists
chanced to meet at this spot a girl
bearing pitcher of water, of whom
they inquired the name of the river.
THE Meeting,' was the prompt re-.
ply. "Oh! we know that quoth the
tourists; "but what river is it it?-what
name do you call it by?" "Och!" said
the girl, Il never call it at all; it al.
ways comes of itself."-London Spec
tator.

Some Points on How to Obtain q Good

Some Points on How to Obtain q Good
Figure and Graceful Carriage.
A thoroughly practical article on Phys
ical Culture For Girls" by Katharine
Eggleston Junkermann, in The Woman 81
Home Companion, contains these simple
directions for home gymnastics:
Systematic exercise can accomplish so
much that 1t is a marvel to one who has
enjoyed its benefits that it is not more
generally practiced. 1t is entirely unnec-
essary to be mistress of a system of phys
ical culture. There are few exercises
which, taken regularly and thoroughly,
will accomplish all that a system would.
The tendency Is, however, to be unsys-
tematic in taking these exercises and thus
lose their good effect. 1t is best to take
them at night. In bedroom slippers and
loose gown, with no bands to bind, no
collar to rub, girl is ready for the exer-
else that will make her rest rs tranquil
and sweet as a baby's. Every muscle of
the body is free to stretch, to stiffen with
effort or to rest itself in complete relaxa-
ton.
"Clubs, dumbbells and other gymnastic
paraphernalia are unnecessary and really
are more harmful than beneficial. Grasp
ing the bells enlarges the knuckles, the
friction of the clubs hardens the hands,
and as it is quite as easy to do without
them they are better unused. After all
preparations for bed are made even to ar
ranging the rather flat and somewhat hard
pillow, stand before your glass and begin
your exercise. There is a real delight in
watching the strong, easy movements of
healthful woman. And this ease and
strength are within the reach of nearly all
women The fiat chests, shapeless waists
and badly formed hips may be at least
partially remedied, and it requires only
little effort and persistence to accomplish
it. Too many women lack persistence. In
stead of conscientiously taking their exer-
else every day they skip a day when they
are feeling tired or lazy, then two or three
days at a time, and eventually they learn
to forget it or decide that the game is not
worth the candle.
ITO develop breadth of chest place the
hands on the waist line a little back of the
hips, the fingers pointing forward. From
this position move the elbows slowly back
toward each other, making them come as
nearly together as possible. Do this sew
eral times, counting four as the elbows APP
proach each other and two to recover posi-
ton. BY counting to these movements
harmony is attained which will develop
the muscles evenly"

The Assessment, Pi...

Mr.. John Fl. Grigg, OF the local lodge
OIL o. u. w., will leave tomorrow for
Grand Rapids to attend the annual meet
ing OF the grand lodge OF the order. He
is the delegate appointed to represent
this lodge at that meeting. 1t is quite
probable that the plan for classified as
seesment will come up to be acted upon
at this meeting and from present indi-
cations it Will be given fav orable decision.
Under the old plan the members paid
twenty one assessments OF so cents for
each 81 900 of insurance in 1897, or $2l
per 81 900 which amount ia held by the
majority OF members. The new plan
graduates the assessments according to
the ages OF policy holders, az follows;
From Is to "a. 60cen for 81, 900; from
% to 20, 65 cents; 30 to "a. ~ cents;
35 to 80, SO cents; 40 to A, 81 OIL; 40 to
40, $1.31; so to "a, $1.7S; So and over,
$1.7S. AS the new plan provides for
maximum OF twelve assessments per year.
or one per month, the assessments on a
80 900 policy at the lowest rate would
be $14 40, and at the highest $42 ~, il
twelve assessments became necessary
while under the old plan the assessments
last year were uniformly $21. Had the
new plan been in force last year il won d
have required only $1,000 from the
youngest and and s32 % from the oldest
members to pay the death losses for
that year.
There is quite an opposition to the new
system on the part of the old members,
while the younger ones object to con-
tinuance OF the old plan. In the ten
states which have already adopted the
new system the gain OF new young men,
bers has greatly outweighed the loss OF
the outgoing older ones.

In The Field.

Election talk is becoming rife about
the city again and as the time for the
calls for the caucuses seem to be drawing
nearer the different candidates are begin
ming to do some hustling. Ii is still a
long way from the time, but both the
village election candidates of Red Jacket
and Laurium are hustling as are also
some OF those who are looking for the
township plum.
In addition to those who have alrea iy
announced themselves tor offices, George
Jacka wishes the News to state that he
to a candidate for the position OF town
ship treasurer. He was raised in the
city and has always been an interested
citizen and thinks he is entitled to some
consideration at the bands OF the voters
and hopes his friends will remember him
on nomination night.
In Laurium village Clerk Joseph r
Murphy states that he is candidate for
reelection and hopes his friends will re-
member it when it comes nomination
night. He hopes that the manner in
which he has discharged the duties OF his
Office will entitle him to consideration at
the hands of the Lauriumities.

tie Time Honored Jokes.
"How many, many times has it been
said that we live our lives over again in
our children" said Mr.. Billions, "and
how true it is, and how grateful we should
be that it is so, as indeed we arel Now,
here's my youngest boy comes i'm from
school and asks me, with smile on his
face:
"'Pop, did you ever see horse Hy?'
"a fine joke it seems to him, and can
truly say that it never sounded SO fine to
me as 1t does now from his lips. Renew
our youth in our children? We renew 1t
with interest; we enjoy their youth, and
we enjoy 1T with the far keener apprecia-
ton of our maturer years. There may be
only one youth. There is only one age of
understanding "Later he asked me an
other, Did you ever SEQ a board walk?'
And this seems funny to him, too, and so
it does to me- Like the other, it seems
funnicr now than ever.
''Later still he propounds another, which
does not move me as tho others had done
because it Is new to me. And that makes
me wonder whether my enjoyment of the
old jokes is not, after all, selfish enjoy
ment in the renewal of my own youth
rather than a delight in my children's en-
joyment, for this last joke, which lacks
interest and flavor for me- interests him
as much as the others did

"My impression is that we had no pencil
boxes when was boy. am sure this
joke Is comparatively modern, but the
others have been handed down from gem

with ever growing charm.
