SELLING 800 horses at Chattanooga

shipped from New York to Huntsville,
Ala, costing over 800 each, plus the

THE REGISTER is and always has
been opposed to the School Textbook
Law, as it is and always has been OPP
posed to governmental parentalism in
all its forms and branches. The child
rem to the parent. and the State the
creature and not the master of those
who make it, is the law and the prophets
to this paper. The present textbook
law of Missouri is an outrage, and
ought never have passed a Democratic
legislature; but, as the Republican
State Superintendent of Schools, Mr..
Kirk, is actually the father of the bill,
his political colleagues ought first to
church him before proceeding to damn
the Democrats who supported it. The
fact is, the Public School System has
been made so sacred thing that any
enormity bearing its label has been
until now allowed to pass current with
out question, and he who was so reck
less as to criticise in unfriendly terms
anything pertaining to this ''sacred
thing" was denounced as an enemy to
the public welfare. Pity the Demo-
Gratis in the late Legislature did not
have the courage of their convictions
when the Kirk bill came up for action.
They will be wiser hereafter.

REPUBLICAN ex-Postmaster General
John Wanamaker says: 81 have been
a Republican since 1860, but my party
stinks in the nostrils of decent men.
If the people are willing to uphold
such corruption as many of the leaders
practice and condone their dishonesty,
God help the country" This is rather
tough on the pure-souled fellows whose
confreres are promising to redeem"
Missouri. According to Wanamaker,
damn" would be the proper word.
and he is fully borne out by the ex-
per1ence of the people of this State in
times gone by. OF course. Mr.. WIS
immediate objective is Senator Quay,
recently detected in alleged misuse of
public funds; but his indictment lies
well against the whole party. This is
not the first time Senator Quay's hon
esty has been impeached on good evil
dence. About fifteen years ago when
treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania,
so the well-remembered story runs
he was about to commit suicide be-
cause his accounts with the people
would not balance, when a rich politi-
cal friend came to his rescue, put up
the shortage, and smoothed the mat
ter over. Nevertheless and notwith-
standing all this, the delinquent was
soon after made Q. S. Senator by the
of Pennsylvania. Well
may Pious John say. with upturned
eyes "My party stinks in the nostrils
of decent men,"

Mr.. EdttOr-On account of the wet
weather the farmers are late in sowing
wheat. Some wheat is six inches tall.
A very large assembly was present
at sacramental meeting at the Luther

Mrs. V. Summit, of Nashville,
Tenn, is here visiting her brother,
Prof. Wagner, and other relatives.
Her son. Prof. W. A. Summit has
come and opened up his music classes.
He is great teacher, and will soon

Mr.. Bradshaw is captivating all with
his music and other branches. Prof.
Hovis is one of Mr.. B. S pupils in short

Mr.. Thos. Ferguson and DIR. Wagner
took Miss Hattie Ferguson to Marble
Hill last Sunday where Drs. Wilmer
and Wagner performed a surgical oper-
alton in order to cure her of spasms.
We all hope Miss Hattie will soon re-
cover, as she is so good and lovely.
Mr.. E. G.. O'Bannon's barn burned a

Prof. Hovis and Benton Darnell found
a blind or rather an eyeless fish in a
wet weather spring. 1t must have
come up from the interior of the earth.
1t was about four inches long, and pos
sessed a more acute sense OF touch than
ordinary fishes.
We want to record marvellous Incl

Mr.. B. carried rocks and Mr.. ID. pelted
the panther with the same all day,
and finally the panther was so exhaust

to the earth and expired. Can any of

has now abandoned the republican
party with which he trained since the
days of Lincoln, and hereafter prOpos-

silver question is what has brought
him over to the side of the people.
And, too, don't forget that the Hon.
John NJ. Palmer, who two years ran
for president at the head of the Nc
Kinley Aid Society, is now back in the
democratic fold, where he ought to
have been all the time, and will this

IF Teddy Roosevelt sees fit to swear
himself out, and then swear himself in,
to suit the ever-changing conditions,
what right have civilians to complain?
1t is outrageous that they should pre-
sumo to do so. Things are better
managed over in Germany. There, if
civilian soils an officers uniform by
so much as Inadvertently brushing
against it, he brooks the bloody sword;
and if the mudsill is so insolent as to
criticise his superiOrs of the military,
he is efficiently taught his proper
place. When this country gets its big
standing army, things will change for
the better, of course. We might now
be enjoying the blessings of milltarism
and the royalism that to it appertains,
If it hadn't been for the anarchi3tic
Washingtons, Jeffersons, ETC., who de-
luded the people some hundred years
or so ago. Happily they are now back
numbers, and in their stead we may
boast our Hannas, our Kerenses-and
also, our Roosevelt, who it will be re-
membered. wanted to stand Bryan and
his fellow latter-day Anarchists up
against dead-wall and shoot them as
did the Spaniards the Virginius crew
at Havana afOretime.

SEEING AND OBSERVING.

Il never was so impressed with the
difference between eyes and no eyes"
writes an author in a private letter,
''as on a short journey | once made
with Charles Dickens in France. We
spent half-an-hour in a station waiting
for train. As we left it he said, Did
YOU see that miser sitting by the door {?
No doubt he has a bag full of gold
buried in his garden at home. Every
coin had left a crows foot about his
eyes. Did you notice the lovers The
unsuccessful rival was there, too. He
was the bag-man with the hook nose
And the young mother wi h the baby?'
i saw ho bab.,' | said. No, it was
dead. But the mother was with it,
though she sat there alone in the
crowd Now, | had seen only an in
distinguishable crowd of people. |
read no history of greed, or love, or
death, in their faces" \ story with
similar meaning is told Of a picture eX-
hlbited in New York year or two ago.
A wealthy merchant with his wife stop
ped before it. Represented the tower
of a church covered with wild ivy,
crlmsoned by the frost, and in its
shadow an old Italian peasant crouch
ing over basket of fruit. What d
picturesque effectm Norman, Ell ?
or Italian % The tower" said the
artist who happened to be present, lis
opposite your own chamber windows,
and the fruit vender is old Lise, who
has been sitting there all summer
The merchant no doubt appeared
ridiculous in the eyes of the artist for
his lack of artistic sight. Yet it is
probable that if Il bundle of scraps of
cloth had been placed before him his
eyes would have been keen to detect
differeuc es which the artist could not
see. Every object in the world is like
i letter of the alphabet, and each
mans eyes, with different insight and
training, spell out with these letters
different words.

THE KILLING OF A COBRA.

Dinner was just finished and several
English officers were sitting around
the table. The conversation had not
been animated, and there came a lull,
as the night was too hot for small
talk. The major Of the regiment, a
clean cut man of 80, turned toward
his next neighbor at the table, a young
subalterD, who was leaning back in
his chair with his hands clasped be
hind his head, staring through the
cigar smoke at the ceiling. The ma
jor was slowly looking the man over,
from his handsome face down, when
with sudden alertness and in a quiet
steady voice he said: Don't move,
please, Mr.. Carruthers. | want to try
an experiment with you. Don't move
muscle
All right, major" replied the
subalteru, without even turning his
eyes; hadn't the least idea of moving
l assure you. What's the game?n
By this time all the others We're
listening in iazily eXpectant way.
DO you think, continued the ma
jor-and his voice trembled Just a
little-"that you can keep absolutely
still for, say two minutes to save your
life?''
Are you joking!"
"On the contrary. move muscle
and you are Il dead man. Can you
stand the strainy'
The subaiteru barely whispered
Yes, and mis- face paled slightly.
Burke" said the major, addressing
an officer across the table, pour some
of that milk into a saucer, and set it
on the floor here just at the back of
me. Gently, man. Quietn' Not
word was spoken as the Office filled
the saucer, walked with it carefully
around the table, and set it down
where the major had indicated on the
floor.
Like a marble statue sat the young
subaltern in his white linen clothes,
while cobra di capello which had
been crawling up the leg of his
trousers slowly raised its head, then
turned, descended to the floor, and
glided toward the milk. Suddenly
the silence was broken by the report
of the majors revolver, and the snake
lay dead on the floor.
THANK you, ma jor," said the sub
altern, AS the two men shook hands
warmly; you have saved my life.'
YOU'RE welcome, my boy" replied
the senior; but you did YOUR share"
