THE mad dog turned out to have
been poisoned dog. The people who
were excited and wanted the dog shot
were mistaken in their diagnosis Of
the condition of the animal. Some
one had given him poison and he was
under the influence of that when his
suffering made it appear that he was
mad. However the suggestion made
by this paper that all dogs must be
muzzled would have been all right in
this case for if the dog had been treat
ed in that manner he would not have
been poisoned Muzzles are the thing
and council should pass an ordinance
calling for them to be used.

Baptist Church Notes.
BY
JOE Llgecla.

Baptist Church, next Sunday morn
ing subject, "Hallowed be Thy Name"
Evening subject, 1.-THE Christian
Yoke"
Thursday, the l4th, the members of
the Baptist Church had rally and
roll call. Though the day was quite
unpleasant, thirty-five members ans
wered to their names either in person
or by letter. Dinner was served in the
church to give opportunity for a social
hour. 1t was pleasure to have Rev.
Albert Hislop and wife present. 1t
was from this church that he went out
to become gospel minister and we are
glad that the labors of himself and
wife have been so richly blessed. Rev.
VIM. Stewart, of Waukon, was present
and gave an address in the morning
and also preached in the evening.

THE newspaper man is an animal
that is quite common in the southwest,
where he Is used by the citizens as
beast of burden. He has two eyes (un-
less one has been knocked out some
time or other by an irate individual he
had roaste6) two ears, generally one
nose, one mouth and one wife. His
legs, which are two, are very helpful
to him when danger threatens. They
are fastened to the lower end of his
body and In most cases extend all the
way down to the ground, where they
stop and flatten out like two gigantic
corn dodgers. Sometimes newspaper
man has real hair on his head and well
nigh human ears are hung on in life
like manner. This has now and then
caused somebody to mistake him for a
real human being, but happily this
mistake is rare, seldom occurring to
each newspaper man more than once
In q life time. The newspaper man is
generally conceded to be the most do
cile of domestic animals. Now and
then one finds q hooker In the herd but
when young and properly managed
they will nearly all become tame.

THE TEACHERS MEETING.
An Interesting Session and Well At
tended by Teachers.

The9Teachers' meeting at Ossian, on
Saturday'was well attended, and more
than ain ordinary interest was mani
tested in the different topics discussed.
The forenoon was spent in discus
sing the general topics assigned on the
programs and the meeting proper be-
gan at 1,l5, with a paper on "Enthu-
siasm".by Prin. Barloon, of the Ossian
Schools. -
The paper was well written, but
scared a.ljttle over the heads of teach
ers, though, in spirit, it had the ring of
enthusiasm and was meant to arouse
the Indifferent workers in the school
room. After a somewhat extended
discussion of this paper, in which dis
cussion it was decided that true and
lasting enthusiasm was that which
sees the end in the beginning, and sets
about it earnestly and quietly to
arouse lasting desire on the part of
the pupil to reach the coveted goal,
the topic of Reading was taken up.
AS Miss Carter, the leader for the SUBJ
topic of "Reading in Second and Third
Grades" was not present, that topic
was presented by Misses Headington,
johnson and Becker, and some very
suggestive and specific points given to
those teaching that grade of WORK in
the schools
The next subtopic on Reading In
the 4th and 5th Readers" was opened
with an excellent paper prepared by
Miss Lundgren and read by Miss
Readington. This topic was too brief
ly discussed, perhaps owing to the fact
that none of those who were on to lead
the discussion were present.
The climax seemed to be reached
when the topic of 'School Discipline"
was taken up. This question is one
that is always of supreme interest to
young teachers, and was handled by
teachers of extended experience, name
ly, Profs. Dempsey, Clark and Wild
man. Mr.. Dempsey read one of the
best papers we have ever heard before
an association of teachers.
Prof. Clark followed with his usual
sound common-sense suggestions, and
outlined very specifically what teach
ers should insist upon to promote good
order in their schools He defined
good order in these terms: when
every pupil is attending to his or her
own business"
Prof. Wildman said the way to Sc
cure good order is not to let pupils
know they are governed; and to be one
of them, that is, join in with them in
their sports and games and win their
good will, thus leading instead of driv-
ing them.
The topic of Supplementary Read
ing" was well presented by Miss
Stortz and Mrs. Engle, and some very
good suggestions given as to what to
use for such work, and how it can be
used to advantage.
Prof H. L.. Coffeen whose presence is
always an inspiration to younger men
and women, was present and gave ex-
cellent advice in matters of discipline,
tardiness, etc.
All presentunited in prououncing the
meeting one of the best ever attended,
perhaps because of the freedom of dis
cussion.
