HOW CAN BREAK HIM OF HIS FUNNY WAYsf
tle,. but when I am out walking with him
he gives me quite a number Of short an
fswers, which he does not mean to, but
which sting me to the very heart. Oh,
miss, please come to my assistance and
tell me how to break him Of his funny
ways and to find out does he love me as
dearly as I love him! Answer soon and
cheer the weary heart of a
PRETTY JERSEY BRUNETTE.
Maybe you say things unintentionally
that irritate him. Sometimes women have
a way of chattering namely that may be
very charming or may be enough to drive
a man crazy It depends largely on the
man. Again, perhaps he is trying to make
a record rs Smart Auckland this sting
ing brevity is his way of aiming at it.
But whatever may be his motive do not
stand it for moment. Difference Is every
self respecting woman's due, and would
advise you to demand it, through what
ever medium is most convenient. Either
write him a letter and tell him that you
find his manner difficult to hear or tell
,lim so. 1t is tia greatest mistake il tho
world Tor q woman to become weak,
characterless echo of MAI s moods. No
one likes rag doll--not even the man
who made it.

He was an Old man, says the Balti-
more News, and he had an honest
face, but it was evident to all the pas
sengers in the street car that his per-
sistent stare at the pretty woman op-
posite embarrassed and annoyed her.
Several hints were thrown out, but he
did not take them, and the man beside
him finally asked:
Did you ever see a woman before
"Of course" was the reply
We'll, they don't like to be stared

Why County School Super
intendents Oppose
Truant Law.

The committee assigned the question,
SHOULD the State allow poverty and
the value OF child labor tp defeat the
object Of public schools" reported as
follows:
1.-THE committee assigned this ques-
tion do not report in favor Of compulso-
~ education in Tennessee. They do
not believe the time Is ripe for such a
law, if in fact such time shall ever
come in this State. Our people rightly
believe in the largest measure OF indl-
vidual beTty, and that the welfare OF
the child and his control rightly be-
longs to the parent and not TO the body
polite. They are opposed to system
of school that is Spartan or Prussian in
its character. We believe that the nat
ural affection implanted by Providence
in the heart of the parent for his child
will give to it its best guardianship.
We believe that the head of the famil J
can best look TO the interest of the chill
dren, and that we should resist the en-
croachments of the State upon home
control.
eve believe that for the education OF
the children we should not look to {
paternal and centralizing law, full O
police powers and regulations, but rath
er depend upon an enlightened public
conscience, the attractiveness of thu
schools and the moral influence and tot
OF the teachers. We should not, like
Mahomet, seek to promulgate our edu
cational creed with the sword of com
pulsory law, but rather like the Christ
offer and appeal, but not coerce.
We do not believe there could b
found any whore else body of so
called educators from whom coulc
emanate such a sloppy result a
the above passed at Nashville las
week, 1t is true the salary an,
duties Of superintendent are nc
affected by an uncertain attendanc
but the honest efforts of goo
teachers are neutralized by th
want of such a law in this State a
the same.
