Music in the Schools.

The inocent appearing little bill
which passed the legislature with re-
gard to examination in music, and
music in the public schools, seems to
have thrown bomb among the teach
ers of the state. 1t was thought at
first that this was to be simply an
opening wedge for the introduction of
music, but upon closer study of the
the law the board of educational ex-
aminers have decided that it means
more than that. That music shall be
q required feature of all schools and all
teachers excepting in places where
there are special music teachers to be
provided with proper certification
upon this subject. If this is to be
the rule it will certainly work hard
ships in many localities and will
materially cut down the number of
available teachers. The requirements
for teachers now are so exacting in
many localities there is a dearth of
properly equipped persons to supply
the demand Waterloo. Reporter.

The stories which are printed from
time to time to the effect that large
numbers of Americans have been and
are enlisting In the Boer and British
armies are undoubtedly exaggerations.
There are many persons In the United
States who are in sympathy with the
Afrikanders and many others who
would be glad to see the English win,
but 1t is safe to say that very few are
going to transmute their feelings into
deeds. The Transvaal is good many
thousand miles away from the United
States. The war in that quarter Of the
globe is matter In which Americans
In general have no great interest ex-
cept in purely historical sense. Prob
ably there are a few Americans on
each side in that conflict, but the num-
Der Of these and the number who will
engage in 1t are undoubtedly much
smaller than is popularity imagined.

The Way They Kiss.

The McGregor girl. as pretty as in the state,
InIher clinging, soulful way,
Absorbs it all with yearning ysarn
AS big as a ton of hay
The West Union girl looks up in amaze
When you ask for the privilege rare,
But runs from the gate far into the house
To see If her ma might care.
The Elkader girl gets saucy and:mad,
And bluntly calls you plug;
Then to build up your feelings and heart,
She twice kisses your homely old mug.
The Rossville girl, who:ives on a farm,
Can break you up completely,
She knows just how to work her cards,
And her sweetness give discreetly.
The DEBORAH girl never signs or pines,
Nor acts in a manner rude.
But goes on kissing in a business-like way
That catches the average dude.
The Monona girl gets grip on herself,
AS she carefully takes off her hat,
And grabs up the prize in frightened way.
Nike TERROR shaking rat
The New Albin girl bows her stately head
AS she fixes her stylish lips
In a firm, hard way, aud lets them go
In spasmodic little ships.
The Postville girl never waits to be coaxed;
With gorgeous lips and heart that's light
She Fuckers her mouth and tries to look sweet
And smacks with all her might.
The Waukon girl with the soulful eye,
And lips like Dan Cupid's brow,
Would kiss from now till the sweet by and by
And that's why we love her so.
Guttenburg Press
The Gutenberg girls are not slow in kissing
And she likes the fellow best
Who has the courage to take them
Without making a request;
Not the Hobson kind of kisses
That resound up to the sky,
But the little newey kisses,
That are taken on the Schley.
-Monona Leader

The report Of the agricultural experts
Of this country. just issued by the agri-
cultural department at Washington. is
interesting and suggestive. About
$516, 100000 worth, or 60 per cent, Of
our agricultural exports In 1893 went
to Great Britain and her dependencies.
Germany comes next, having taken
about - per cent Of our agricultural
exports during the past four years.
This fact would seem to indicate tnat
there exists between this country and
Great Britain at least commercial
and Industrial entente, which, In view
Of the fact that that country and her
dependencies are our best markets,
does not appear to be bad thing for
