If we notice little pleasures
As we notice little pains;

And remembered all our gains.
If we looked for peoples virtues
And their faults refused to see,
What a comfortable, happy,
Cheerful place this world would be!

How Is Your Drinking Water?

Now that the long dry spell is over
and we are likely to have an album
dance of rain it would be well for
everybody to have their cistern clean
ed out, and made ready to catch
clear fresh water. It is safe to say
that right in our town there are els
terms, which afford families water
supply, that have not been cleaned
for years. It is more important to
look after the cleanliness Of the els
terms in this part of the state than
any other, because the winds we have
here blow a great quantity of dirt
and filth from the street to the tops
Of houses, and the first rain thereaf-
ter carries everything into the cistern.
Why there must be several feet of
lust such stuff as that on the bottoms
Of some cisterns about here, and
and unless it is removed it will be-
come productive of disease sooner or
later. Every cistern from which wa
ter is derived for drinking should be
thoroughly cleaned not less than
once a year.

An enormous crop Of corn has been

40 cents a barrel, which is the cheap

Last week q barn with 100 barrels

There is a move to have q suitable

DR.. GUNNIsoN's ADDRESS
Talks to Manhattan School Masters on
Teachers Profession.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Schoolmas
ters CLUB of the Manhattan district
held a meeting tonight at the st. Denis
hotel elected officers and enjoyed
dinner, at which about $50 members and
guests participated Abner c. Holly
was elected president of the club.
Rev. DR.. Almon Gunnison, president
of the st. Lawrence university, was the
principal speaker at the dinner He
said that one of the lessons taught by
the last war was that the battles of the
future were to be fought with improved
weapons. 1t had also taught the great
need Of having the men behind the
guns fitted for their tasA. The teach
er of today, he said, was the man be-
hind the guns in the great contest go
ing on in the business world. In the
competition of business, industrial and
social relations of the next generation,
the contest would be waged with i'm
proved weapons and be more intense,
and those who were to win would be
those who We're best prepared.
The success of the man of business of
the future would depend largely upon
the efficiency of the training he re-
ceiVed. There was an adaptability in
the American people that was simply
wonderful. Men taken out of business
life and placed in positions of response
bility, such as cabinet ministers or for
eign consuls, We're able to use at once
the complicated machinery of their Of
fees to the honor and benefit of the
country. 1t was the training these men
received in the public school, the high
school end the academies and colleges
that enabled them to so acquit them
selves.
He wondered that school teaching was
not maze a profession. 1t was certain
ly singular, he said, that men who made
doctors and ministers and lawyers did
not themselves belong to the learned
profession. The next thing for the
teachers of this city to do, after they
received their pay for the work they
had done, was to see that their name
and office was honored as it should be
by classification among the great pro-
LESSONS of the world. They should also
seek to be leaders in public affairs, in
terested in everything pertaining to the
shaping of affairs of the present time.
The teachers had power to move the
world into large orbit and shape it
for a fairer destiny.
