Prof. Bowen is presenting the sub,
ject Of didactics to his class in very
masterful and scientific manner. More
of the teachers should be in that
class,
Charley Allison and Mrs. Allison
have been paying Chanute a good
visit lately. We think Charley has
serious intentions of attending the
Normal. He always did have lean
ing toward the schoolmarms.
Saturdays business for the mer-
chants of Chanute did not quite come
up to the standard. Don't know what
was the matter, unless those big ads.
of the merchants in some of our rival
towns are drawing the trade that way.

We are much pleased to see our city
teachers enrolled as members Of the
institute and taking an active part.
Whenever teacher gets too big to
attend teachers institute or county
normal he should be retired to some
otner Gaining,
Prof. Elliott is waking the teachers
up little on arithmetic and book
keeping. The primary object in teach
ing is to get the pupils to think not
to cram them with facts. About next
week you will see the drones wanting
to be excused from these classes.
There, the third business has NOV
ed out of the City Hall block since
The TIMES moved in. We expect to
monopolize the whole thing soon,
same as Freeman expects to fill the
Jones block. The last move was DR..
Shoemaker with his dental shop.

There are more pretty school man
in Chanute now than were ever known
| to be here before. Such an array of
good looks, vim and intelligence is
rarely seen. This normal bids fair

county, in members present and in
terest manifested
There was a cake walk at Davidson
| theater, Fit. Scott, IN which four Of
the locating committee for the new
state asylum were the judges; Senator
Lewelling, ex-Gov., Tom Anderson.
Fulton and Representative Reeder.
Perhaps this committee is better able
to Judge cake walk than it is to To-
cate the asylum.-Dennis Leader.

| M. and Mrs. Lem Cole went out driv-
ing and Mrs. Cole unfortunately lost
fine cape. She had notice insert
ed in THE TIMES, and the next day
| Lem took his buggy and drove over
the route they had travelled and found
the cape lying in the grass out in his
meadow where he had driven through
to inspect the grass. 1t always pays
to advertise.
We are very much surprised to hear
the kicking about Doodle INDUCED in
with reference to that insane commit
tee. In Our innocent and unsophisti-
Gated condition of mind, we thought
that was the object of the committee.
There could have been very little OBJ
ject in appointing it outside of that.
Come gentlemen, take your medicine
like little men, you favored the ap-
pointment of the committee. Why
didn't you bid up while the game was
on?
The Tribune reports the Chanute
creamery as making the last year
1898 pounds of butter which they
sold at 1871 cents per pound, and that
their cash receipts were 27.O1O.11.
The only two commodities we know
of this company selling are butter and
butter-milk.
139,385fb butter at 16sc amounts to
1922, 1865 .21; 1927, 01O.11-$22, 1851 would
leave S204 ,243. 80 for butter-milk.
Jerusaleml Who ever dreamed the
citizens of Chanute were paying out
so much for butter-milk?
Chanute didn't quite get the asy-
lum, after all. Wonder how many
takers Bro. Fisher got on that two
to-one on Chanute?. 800. 1t seems Sen
ator Farrelly's confidential talks with
his brother Senator didn't result in
anything to the point ..... Brother
Keifer did not get his associate from
Montgomery county quite up to the
point Wonder what Benetiel, OF
Coffeyville, had to do with that COM
mittee, anyway? 1t is rumored that
he was a sort of go-between, but we
think he was simply around advertiS-
ing himself little, but principally af
ter the free lunches that were set up
to the committee. go. We feel sorry for
that fellow on the committee who Oc-
casionally dropped in a vote for Cha
mute. Wonder if it was the member
who while here was so drunk he had
to be laid away, and who, during his
occasional semi-conscious intervals,
was for "Zhanute fuS, las and all Zhe
timer" 49,. 1t seems the three men
on the committee who were solid for
Chanute, didn't succeed in pulling the
other two. oh, well, we didn't
want it very bad, anyway; it gives
town a bad name, you know. If
the members of the asylum committee
are a fair sample of the members OF
the Kansas legislature, with refer
ence to sohriety, they must have a
high old time when they get together
in Topeka. -. The East and West
sides may now rub off the war paint;
it won't be necessary to have scrap
over the site for the asylum.
