any number of diseases can find their
way into the system 1t must be re-
membered that the throat is very
susceptible to attack. particularly in this
climate, and this fact makes it doubly
true that an ounce OF prevention is
better than pound Of cure. The
moment there's anything the matter
with your throat, however slight the
trouble, attend to it instantly. One of
the best remedies for a sore throat is our
Diphtheria Remedy. As this medicine

WE think. OF have thoughts;
we express our thoughts by means
of words
Such, | remember, were the
words at the very beginning of a
schoolbook, and were indelibly
impressed upon my mind. in those
far-otf boyhood days, when, with
shining, morning face [ crept with
snail-like pace to school," At that
time, however, [ little thought,

ruined hopes, or the Dead Sea aches

Iron may confine the body, and
four walls limit the vision: but

his own mother by the scent of

ONE is reminded by the bill now
before the Legislature, to increase
the apportionment to high schools
from $4,000 to 100000, that
the causes of certain effects are so
deep that the superficial observer
ever fails to see them. Back of
all the ignorance of our land is the
lack of education: and ignorance
is sin, and sin is the doorway Of
crime.
There is thousand dollars spent
in Doodle Of political intrigues
where there is one spent in
schools.
OF all the servants of the public,
the most poorl y paid are teachers.
A true teacher brings to his work
all the highest and noblest quail
ties of manhood and womanhood.
He must be firm, patient, tender.
and have the true eye, to see the
inner workings of that small
bundle of eternal possibilities, the
child. / don't mean the graduate
of our universities and normal
schools, that gets into the school
room and turns the same crank in
the same way, attempting to grind
out the same grist that his pred
icessor has ground out [ mean
the one that is born; not made.
When the teacher is found, he
may be trained: but all the
training this side of eternity will
not make one. They are not made.
any more than poets are made.
Compare the salaries Of county
sheritfs; of civil and mining engin-
GERS, or of physicians and lawyers
tothose of teachers and you will not
be surprised that we have no better
teachers in our schools. Twenty
years ago the finest teacher | ever
knew. one with the tender heart
and the patient ways; also a gradu-
ate of one of our universities. was
struggling to maintain a large and
increasing family on IA salary OF
something like $4,000 per We ar
That man should have been placed
in position, if not of luxury, al
least of absolute comfort and Sc
curity. Today he struggles along
i'm the same old groove, patient
but still unrecognized and unap-
preciated.
The responsibilities of an engi-
neer, having in charge the con-
struction of a work of any magni-
tude. is considered so great that
he is given a mnnificent salary
How infinitely greater is the re-
sponsibility of one having in
charge the construction of the
human entity. the future citizen.

A young man without means to
complete his education is obliged
to leave school. Let us say that
he begins to teach; and soon finds
that he likes the work, and that
he has the gift of teacher: he
looks forward and sees that at best
by the patient effort Of perhaps a
lifetime he can only hope to attain
perhaps to a salary of-say a hun
bred and a quarter month. In
the meantime all his work as
teacher is pitiously underpaid; and
he is so untitled for other lines Of
work that the interludes between
terms are a source of constant
anxiety; so it is no wonder that he
says to himself ''the business
doesn't pay" and engages in line
of work for which he is in every
way untitled, but that pays much
better from the start.
Teachers are not good tinanciers
or bankers OF traders. They
havn't that aggressive energy that
is necessary to compete with all
the trickeries and shams and
frauds of business and politics of
the day. They are infinitely above
and beyond it all; but still of in
finite need to the nation. They
should be honored, cared for and
protected.
Even as, in the halcyon days of
Greek prosperity, a pregnant
woman was given the place of
honor at all games, feasts and festi-
walls. as being the mother of the
coming physical nation; so should
teachers to day be given the fat
salaries and the place of honor at
the feast. as being the mothers Of
that which is greater, the coming
intellectual and moral man.
When this matter is looked to
you may look for the closing of
some of our alm-houses, mad
houses, prison-houses and other
houses that you know of.
The responsibility of the teacher
is infinitely greater than that of
the parents or ministers Of the
Gospel. How long O Lord how
long before our nation Will come
to realize this: and cease to bubble
over a paltry few hundred for
school purposes, while it spends
thousands in investigating en-
balmed beef charges.

Mrs. FANNIE B. AMEs has been
before the industrial commission
at Washington and made her state
ment. Mrs. Fannie is from Boston
and is inspector of factories there :;
and it is stated that she has done
it for seven years. Now [ have
no especial fault to find with the
report so far as it goes. The re-
port leaves the impression that
she found nothing whatsoever
Objectionable in childlabor. That
one of so much experience should
have come to conclusion so much
at variance with that of the
greatest students of the social
problem is, at least, surprising
1t isn't said whose servant the
inspector of the Boston factories is;
nor in whose interest the statement
was made. That it was not made
in the interests of the children
themselves is certain.
There are few under the age of
H." Here is a mistiness about
that statement that leaves one
guessing what she considers few
She offers as an argument that
factory work for children is pre-
ferable to department-store work.
Then we are to conclude that it
is matter Of choosing the lesser
evel.
She makes the statement that
she does not think that machinery
decreases the chances for hand
labor: but that it had changed it..
And so indeed it has.
Had Mrs. Ames stood, as [ have
stood-upon street corner of an
earl y morning in any of our great
western cities and seen the thou
sands of pale faced girls and
scrawny children Fastening to
their work, and had taken the
pains to note the remarkable ab-
cense of men, she could say in
tones of assurance that machinery
had changed it. And could she

idle men; or after dark upon the

ton, and see where these young
people meet for social intercourse,
or at the cheap lodging houses
where many of them Cher sisters
live in adultery, [ have no doubt
she would conclude that something
was rotten in the system.
The place for children is at home,
or in the school. That statement
needs no qualifying.

DAN O'CONNELL'S" NEW GRAFT
II. L. FROZE

Il. U. FROZE
Incarcerated in a penal institu-
ton the progressive man plans for
his future. Naturally these plans
deal entirely with financial sue
cesses.
In our institution, this trait has
developed some embryo Colonel
Sellers and the schemes that de-
velop on paper, which have every
assurance of success: at least in
theory, are legion. They cover
every known subject from perpet-
ual motion to a Corner in Wheat"
In the institution at present, no
one is more prolific in the produc-
ton of schemes, than the renowned
Daniel O'Connell: in fact Dan
could give the original Colonel
Sellers" pointers on eye water that
would make his eyes bulge with
wonder.
Dan has been everywhere and
seen everything. Early in life he
learned the lesson, that if young
man wishes to succeed. he must
begin at the foot and work up
wards. Bearing this lesson in
mind Dan became a Corn Doctor
and gradually worked his way up
wards until he reached someone's
pocket-that brought him here.
Dams latest scheme is bird;
and if Dams Kismit is right, he
bids fair to walk on velvet
when he leaves this institution.
The following advertisement is
self-explanatory. and shows Dams
ability to grasp his opportunities:
