Indiana has three log schoolhouses
and no more. They are honorable
relics of the days which saw the be-
ginnings OF our splendid public school
system The present is represented
by thousands of well-constructed
buildings, many Of them so artistic as
to be worthy of a place in the Paris
Exposition gallery of photographs OF
educational structures. The state su-
perintendent is sending pictures or
many of the Indiana school buildings
to the exposition, and the News has
begun series of reproductions Of char

seInshness OF Children.
But some one says this prodlgal son
Is the exception. Most children would
not take selfish advantage of their
parents in that way. Kindness always
wooes kindness and love love. We fear
you are in error. Most of the children
are Just what the parents make them
Have you ever had sister get mar
ried? No sooner Is she engaged than
she starts around the house laying
claim to everything, If she has paint
ed n piece of crockery or embroidered
a pillow cushion or played upon a
piano. they are all hers. She says,
This Is mine and that is mine and the
other thing Is mine When the bride
leaves the old homestead the stout ex-
pressmen have hard work to shove
down the lid of the bridal trunk to
make the key turn in the lock. Every

William Shakespeare was the most
inspired writer who ever lived outside
of Holy Writ. He seemed to know
everything. When he soliloquized over
skull you could see the awful grin
ming teeth and empty eye sockets and
the gloomy graveyard, even though
you do not watch the tragedy in a
theater. The Tanning of the Shrew
could teach many of our legislators
that the whipping-post ought not to be
obsolete in our treatment of social ir-
ritants. In the sins of Lady Macbeth
all the evil deeds of life seem to make
the very fingers soak the blood.
when you think of the injustice to-
ward the Jew in The Merchant OF
Venice we hear poor Shylock turn
upon his prosecutors and demand a
pound of Antonio's flesh in revenge for
stealing his daughter What is Will
liam Shakespeare's testimony in ref
erence to children who have been
brought up by too lenient parents?
When King Lear as king had the two
daughters at his feet; when the two
daughters were queens the poor old
man was driven from house to house.
Lastly. learn when the young prodi-
gal gathered all together and took his
tourney into the far country he left his
mother as we'll as his father. Some
preachers go so far as to suppose this
boy did not have mother. The para
BILE mentions her not. Perhaps on ac-
count of the designations of the young
hot a
silvered. Then, like the blossoming OF
the almond tree, became as white as
snow. The long, deep wrinkles grew
deeper; the eye sadder; the lip more
ready to culver. The doctors said she
was worrying about something. One
day the old trouble came. There was
an awful cry, as the spasm of the heart
clutched at her life, and she was dead.
This Interpretation may be true, but
we do not think so, and you and have
just as much right to our opinion as
others have to theirs.
"In the first place, the man Is at the
head of the house. By the eastern

BILE tells us that Christ was to be born
of Mary the Virgin. Yet in the two
distinct genealogical tables of the New
Testament, the one in Matthew ana
the other in Luke, only the genealog-

Old Home Recalled.

"Shall | describe a scene which nap
pened last night? No, it was not in
Chicago. Not in that low saloon or
cheap theater where you were play
ing billiards and gambling away your
life. The scene was way back IN the
country. You remember the old farm,
the white house, the plllared porch, the
big barn in the rear, the wood pile to
the left of the kitchen door. The hens
are now running around begging tor
food because the earth is frozen tomb
in which the worms have gone to sleep
for the winter. 1t is about evening,
and an old woman, an old gray-haired
woman, is cooking over the kitchen
stove. She looks thinner than when
you saw her last. The neighbors say
she is aging very rapidly and will not
live long An old man comes in and
stamps the snow off his great boots.
The woman, this grayhaired woman,
looks up and says, Pa, have you let

fee? Is it not strange he has not writ

THE old man says nothing, but goes
to the door and looks down the road
He shades his eyes as If he could see a
great way off. Then he turns and
says, Mother, that is a fine calf we
have there in the barnyard. She is
getting fatter each day. We must kill
her soon. Perhaps we can have big
feast if our boy ever comes home
They sit by the fire a little while
after the dishes are wiped. Their even

tired they cannot stay up late. They
are too tired to sleep. Then they TAXI

Then they knelt. AS they rayed

in sympathy. The tears trickled down
through the four withered hands. Thus

OF the body, for the proper performance of
its functions.
1t perfects all the vital processes.
1t prevents biliousness, dyspepsia, consti-
patton, kidney complaint, rheumatism, ca
tarrh, nervousness weakness, faintness, PIN
pies, blotches, and all cutaneous eruptions.
1t Is assured by taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla which acts directly and peculiarly on
the blood.
This statement is proved by thousands
OF unsolicited testimonials.
w. P. KEEroN, Woodstock, Ala, writes !:
"When l began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
my blood WAS impure and had not been
feeling well for some time. I was bothered
very much with that tired feeling. When
had taken the medicine a few days 1 be-
gan to feel better, and after taking two
bottles I felt like another person. That
tired feeling was gone and I could do my

School HatterS.

In another column of this paper will
be found a call gotten up by the wom-
en- of the city Tor the purpose of get
ting the women together to discuss
school matters and if possible find out
what is wanted in the district and de-
eide what is best to be done in the
premises. 1t is quite possible they
will decide on someone for the office
| of clerk. which place will be vacant
at the next school meeting. This office
is at present filled by Mr.. Wellman,
who has made a capable and efficient
officer.
We are very glad to see the women
taking this matter in hand for it has
always been left to the OverwOrked
men to decide ON measures and candi-
dates and the results have not always
been satisfactory, and it may be a
good thing to let the women try their
hand. for they certainly can't do any
worse than we have in some cases. 1t
is a wefl-known fact that it is the
mothers who give the most attention
to the education of the children. and
it is equally we'll known that about
the time they take IN interest and get
things running smoothly the men step in
with politics and knock things into a
cooked hat. The women can always
be depended on to run our schools
without any regard to politics and so
we say, let them decide on what they
want lone in the schools and we will
be one of those who will help to carry
out their plans. for we know that
whatever they are they will be for the
best interest of the schools.
We are informed that this move
ment is not organized for the purpose
OF booming any particular candidate
for clerk or for the purpose of secur-
ing any particular teacher. but it 5
purely for the purpose of deterining
what can be done to advance the best
interests OF the schools as educational
institutions. that our city NAV take
its proper place among the education
al institutions of the state.
1t has been, usual for every meas

back room. and when school meetings
were held these matters were sprung

A Successful Strike.

Kinsley has experienced touch of
high life and is now entitled to put on
airs: We have had Il genuine strike.
Not au ordinary every day strike but
II labor strike: This strike might
have been successful and resulted in
an advance in wages if the strikers
had been moderate and firm in their
demands. but the true inwardness of
the case is that when the strikers went
out their object was not so much to
get larger wages us it was to get rid
of work and as the latter object was
accomplished the strike may be con
sidered a success. It seems that Mr..
:Bidwell had employed IL number of
boys to clean brick ut ten cents per
hundred. The boys each to take p
certain territory, clean the brick and
pile the bats. They went to work ali
right and made good wages running
from $l.0O to Sl.25 per day but they
failed to pile the bats, and when called
down they refused to do it without
extra compensation.
They organized, elected a spokes-
man and laid their grievances before
their employer. Not getting any sat-
jsfactiOl they went back to the brick
pile to compel those who had not quit
work to do so. That did not work
and so the boys concluded to have
their way any how and derided that
those who wanted to work might and
those who did not want to work mig Int
do that also, and the excitement grad
ually died down without any blood
shed or even the firing of Il vat. The
boys feel very certain that they have
won as they do not have to go back
to work if they don't want to, but the
old price still rules.
