The teacher would have his pupil

real teacher carries no double face or

We may, 1 think, congratulate our
selves upon the magnificent corps of
teachers in our American schools, and
especially in Washington. Not all are
in the business for the love of it but on
the whole not a more intelligent, con-
scientious and faithful body of workers
for God and for man can be found in
any sphere on the globe.
II. The second element in the right
education of youth is a wisely ar

III, A third element In the right edu-

enthusiastic cooperation on the part
OF those most interested. There may be
soho oil houses, teachers and pupils and

has said that the necessary elements in
public schools are the three P's, repre-

The first embraces the authority and
educators. They have their being alone
for the good OF the child and their
business first and last is to serve its
highest well-being. The second ele'

and guardians. With these, good
schools are of personal interest, and
they could wish for only the best. The

Henry II. Greyson, who died in Phil

seems to have been n good example of
the irony of fate, that he should have
passed through so many perils to die
of such an unromantic sickness. He
had fought with Baden-Powell in
South Africa in some of the native
wars. and had been recommended by
that officer for the Victoria cross. He

Mr.. A. p. Richards, Who left Apex two
years ago last March for the gold camps
of the Klondixe region, returned last
Tuesday, somewhat surprising his many
friends here, who were not looking for
him. He was accompanied by his part

that the Klondike is great country and
very rich, but that anyone going there
will deserve all he can make as it is
rough country and a person gets good

sick with typhoid fever and never ex-

The city council of Central City this
week purchased the old county court
house on Eureka street, paying S2,ooo
for it. This is a good move on the part
OF our city fathers, and should have
been done some time ago. OF course the
building is old, but it is strongly built
and is good for ten years yet, and long
before that time the city will have real
ized in the saving OF the rent alone, more
than the place cost. At present the city
is paying a rent of 80 per month for the
use of the council room, fire house and
city Jail. This makes $500 per year in
rent, and in five years time amounts to
$1,000, which will pay the principal in
vested and good big interest, and own
theiI own building. At that time ii the
city is SO disposed and in good financial
condition it can tear down the old and
erect suitable building that will be a
credit to US.

Jnpnnese Pntriotin,n.

To die for his country is the highest
ambition Of the Japanese soldier or
seaman. For the japanese the dead
come back and tarry for 100 years with
the living. There are no Japanese
dead who do not return" says typ
ical japanese. There is none who does
not know the way. From China and
from Chosen and out of the bitter sea
all cur dead have come back-all! They
are with us now. In every dusk they
gather to hear the bugles that called
them home, and they will hear them
also in that day when the armies of the
Son of Heaven shall be summoned
against Russia" The influence of such
a belief, so fervently, so passionately
held, upon the national life is difficult
to eXaggerate. 1t stimulates to self
sacrifice, and the fact that all the de-
parted great ones are held by every
japanese to be at his side nerves the
soldier to the utmost heroism, the
statesman to sink self and seek the ma
tons interests.-National Review.

While the city is tearing up its old
quarters and moving into new we would
suggest that as the new fire house VIII
be little small, that the city erect a
small place on Eureka street, say near
the head of Prosser and Eureka streets,
and place in it one of the hose. carts.
With our fire department in the shape
1t is in we must depend on volunteers,
and should fire break out at the head
of Eureka street when strong wind is
blowing, it would sweep everything be-
fore it before hose cart could be brought
up from city hall. 4 hose house would
not cost very much and the taxpayers in
that end of the city would appreciate 1t
greatly, and should fire break out could
put it out before the citizens from town
could get there.

TOM MopRE.s HARP.
Ii II Now the Property of a Young
Woman In New York.

- ~ NOvv thG A-EOHCEty VI IOunR
Woman In New York.
Tom Moore's harp is in New York
city. 1t recently arrived from Dublin
and is now the property of Marie Glov-
er=Miller, the church and concert sing
er, to whose grandfather Mooi.e pre-
scented 1t in 1880. The poet wac close
friend of Professor Glover, Mrs. Mil
ler's grandfather, who was one of the
well known family of Glovers, musi-
clans and composers.
The harp, which is now about 135
years old, was used by Moore in the
composition of his famous Irish Mel
odies." 1t is interesting to note how
these poems came to be written: In
1T9G the publishing house Of Power q
Co. of Dublin invited all the harpsters
and minstrels of Ireland to n great
musical congress at the capital to play
over the old melodies, the origin of
many OF which is involved In obscuri-
ty, for the purpose of harmoniZing and
preserving this traditional national mu-
sic. After the melodies had been tran
scribed Moore was engaged to write
words to them. The airs were harmo-
fessor Glover, and then began the long
history and wide popularity of the
Irish Melodies"
1t was on this harp that Moore COM
posed THE Harp That Once Through
Taras Halls" THE Meeting of the
Waters" Go Where Glory Waits
Thee and "The Last Rose of Sum
mer." In 1910, when Moore left Dub
lin after the publication Of his "Melo-
dies" by the Powers, he took the harp
with him to London. There he found
himself social lion, and in the fash
ionable drawing rooms of the British
capital he used this harp and his fine
voice to strengthen his popularity.
The harp itself is of the style known
as the Irish Dalway. 1t is about three
feet in height and weighs perhaps ten
pounds. 1t must have been a beautiful
instrument when new, with its green
front pillar and graceful sweep of
neck. oddly enough, it has no pedals
Its compass comprises so notes tuned
qiatoplcally in the key of G.-Werner's
Magazine.
