THREE BoYsiN TROUBLE
For Breaking Into a school House
After Night.

Three boys belonging to the
Bonaield School, near tho Camp
Ground. in this district, arc in
serious trouble aud two Of them in
jail besides. through the habit that
some country boys have OF invad.
ing the school houses OF nights and
times when no school is in session.
Arthur W. and Brice Manning.
Jr.. sons of Bricc Manning. who
lives a mile this side OF T~unneltoD,
aud Eddie Riley, a son OF Marshal
Riley, were all II hunting lnst
Friday night aud got caught in n
rain-storm and took shelter in the
school house as they we're near it.
The boys claim Il ey climbed in
the window aud had no intention
of bothering anything. 1t seems
that some things had been stolen
from the house before that and
N Of the trustees, Oscar Rhodes,
was watching the place TO catch
the thief. lie WIS coming from
Tunnellon that night aud as the
boys had a lantern no saw tho
Ii sht and pouuced down upon
them aud badly frightened them.
The boys dog bit him and, while
he was fighting the dog, they got
away, but he recognized them
and went before Justice Miller and
swore out warrants and they were
arrested and brought before the
Squire who held them under $3.50
bond each to await the action of
the next Grand Jury. The RILEY
boy secured bond but the other
two were brought to jail here by
Constable John Duvall. Their
father and Mr.. Riley were in town
Tuesday trying to get them out
and fix the matter up some way.
The law is very strict about going
into school. houses and public
buildings on the SLY and makes it a
felony. The boys belonged to the
school and probably thought they
were doing no particular wrong.

NY UNCLE SAN.

Ny Uncle Sans no hruiser,
lie doesn't like TO fight,
And wants to do by others
The things that's fair and right,
Unless You try to crowd him,
He's meek rs any lamb,
But when he gets his dander up,
Look out for Uncle Sam.
IL you don't like my uncle,

But goes about his business
Like any man OF sense
AS long as you are civil,
He's quiet AS II clam.
Bot when he gets his dander up,
Look out for Uncle Sam.
My uncle lives plainly,
And he'll be square with you.
Whatever he has promised
He'll strive his best to do,
Until you try to crowd him,
He's meek rs any lamb.
But wheH he gets his dander up,
Look out for Uncle Sam.

Among the few members re.
elected To the next legislature, ia
Zion. William L. Mansfield OF
Wayne county and editor of the

rank in the last Legislature and
will be a valuable member this

ability. IL We had more men like
him In our legislative halls, IT
would save the people lots of money

1t seems upon Investigation that
Sam b. Montgomery, who has a

claims kingwood as his residence,
and we are informed by Major Orr
that no moved here a month before

and was going TO work for him (the

A wEsr y~IRGINIAN
Who Has Done Himself and His

resigned from the bench. Judge
Payne IS West Yirginian. having
spent his early life in Taylor coun.
ty and later practiced law at King
wood. lie married a niece OF Hon.
James &. McGrew, of this town.
Speaking Of his resignation, the
Chicago Law Journal says:
An absolute loss befalls the SUI
perIsr bench OF Cook county in tho
voluntary retirement of John Bar.
ton Payne, whose letter of resigna
ton Is uow In tho hands of Gov
ernOr Tanner. Judge Payne. dur
ing his five years service rs superior
court Judge, has demonstrated that
no possesses positive and exceptional
capacity and character for judicial
work. SchooIed in the basic prln-
clplcs OF the law, skillful and YER
satile in applying them to facts adj
yersant and contested conditions,
possessing peculiar facility for
singing out and emphasizing the
salient points and pivotal factors in
the case. clear in discrimination
and quick IN decision Judge Payne
soon won recognition as one Of the
most active and admirable mem
bers OF the State judiciary. Pos.
sesslng u choice combination OF
rare legal ability, liberal culture,
integrity that repels approach, a
dignity that deters presum ption
and commands respect. and cour.
age tempered with courtesy. he has
been a wise and worthy wearer OF
the ermine.
Judge Payne's resignation takes
effect on the first Monday in De
cember, at which time he will en-.
gage in the active work of his pro.
fession in this city, so the bench's
loss will be the bars gain.

OUR GALLANT BOYS
Have an Enthusiastic Reception at
GreenyilIe-Dixio Played.

GREENvILE, Nov. 20.-To the
glorious strains Of Dixie. the Sec
ond West Virginia marched into
town and into the hearts of the
people. The regiment arrived dur
ing the night, staying in the cars
until this morning. when, about
$50 o'clock, they marched down
Washington street aud out vi lin to
their camp, which is situated to the
right of Main street along the Spar.
tanburg road. The bind, heading
the proce sion, struck mp Dixie
just as the Main street was reached,
and the rebel yell from hundreds
Of true-blue Southerners who had
lined across Main street to see the
regiment come in. 1t WAS a patrl-
otto scene, typical Of the times.
This regiment, recruited in the
western part Of West Virginia, a
State cut OF from the Old DomIn-
ion because of Yirginla's secession,
marched to the tune of Dixie into
the State which first seeded and
which has always stood for what
Dixie represents. The West Vir-
gina boys stepped sprightly to the
music, less familiar, perhaps. to
them than to the people Of Green
vile, who, like all other South
erners, are accustomed to the yell
whenever it is played. The incl
dent was q pretty one, and the
West Virginia boys will be favorites
IN Greenville because Of it..

And It's Relationship to Language
and Literature.

DIAGRAMS.
"a diagram is "A picture of the
Offices aud relations of tho different
parts OF u sentence" The dia-
gram is TO grammer what the map
is to geography and the figure to
geometry. The diagram enables
the eye to take the picture of the
sentence from the memory, and
thus gives the mind full charter of
all its mental powers for ANALYSIS,
s%ynthesis and parsing. Diagrams
are OF great utility but not of vital
lmportancs in teaching grammar.
Ne'rly all the modern grammars
contain some diagram system,
OF which there are several. The
dlngram is a prominent gram matt
cal feature OF the present day and
has been to some extent an impor-
tant examination factor. It's pres
ent uniyersality and popularity
gives it "a strong lease of long life
and future usefulness.
Among the earlier diagram sys-
tens, Clark's was prominent (;
among the later systems, Reed and
ksllogg's is popular.
OUTLINES.
The outline has won its way in
grammar more slowly than in
arithmetic, although it was intro
duced into the former before the
latter. Some of the modern gram.
marians ignore the outline, others
use it; and a few style it the scheme.
the synopsis, or the classification.
But few outlines show any di.
visions Of grammar, any
ton with language or relations to
cognate branches. In position the
outline generally follows the sub
ject treated, and is applied by most
OF the authors using it, to the SEN
tenee and the parts Of speech.
The sentence is generally out.
lined as to its classes and parts,
while The parts of speech are each
outlined by some authors, as TO
uses, classes and notifications and
by other writers, as to su b-divisions.
infections and relations.
The outline in gramma is pre-.
sented by the Brace system, whose
popularity has merlt for founda-
ZION ana usefulness Tor preference,
while the Sub head and Exponen-
tial systems have not received rec
oguItion at the hands of the gram.
marians.
The outline is a working plan of
a subject-a draught such as the
architect constructs for the cree
ton of a building before a stone is
laid or a timber placed, and if pro
perly understood tends to a clearer
and broader view and q more phi
losophical knowledge of grammar.
The outline is the skeleton of the
subject treated. Those who out
line clearly and logically compre+
bend their subject and teach 1t to
the best advantage. The outline
in places is being introduced into
examination work by examining
boards.
