how anxiously they awaited the coming

appeared, but the venturesome young
women almost tainted when they saw
it was not the conductor they knew.

lady from Kansas City.

where they staid all night, and they got
back to Topeka just as soon as they
could by the kind aid of the gentle

The story leaked out because it was
too good for the kind gentleman to
keep-and perhaps because there was
some one greatly disappointed at the
other end of the division, which has to
do with the second chapter of the story.

A FEW FACTS
About tIe New Catarrh Cure.

The new Catarrh Cure is new depar-
ture in SO called catarrh cures because 1t
actually cures, and is not simply a tenn
porary relief.
The new Catarrh Cure is not a salve,
ointment, powder nor liquid, but a pleas
ant tasting tablet containing the best
specifics for catarrh in a concentrated,
convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and incon-
venient al the best; the new preparation
being in tablet form is always clean and
convenient.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because it is a motor
ious fact that many catarrh powders
contain cocaine.
The new Catarrf1 Cure Is called Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets. a wholesome com
bination of blood root, beachwood tar,
guaiacol and other antiseptics. and
cures by its action upon the blood and
mucous membrane, the only rational
treatment for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon your
imagination to discover whether YOU are
getting benefit from Stuart,s Catarrf,
Tablets; improvements and relief are
apparent from the first~tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but so cents for fun

According to New Methods of
Education Adopted.

Chicago. Ill, April 27.-Freak methods
of education in the public schools were
illustrated Friday when 40 sets OF Ian
guage lessons were sent out to tie
schools
These lessons are in the forms of big
posters, on which are printed in heavy
type the words to be learned by first
and second grade pupils.
The method. as explained by W. W.
Speer, superintendent OF the Third dis
trict, is a combination of INSTALLATION,
auralization and action, especially ac-
ton. The pupil is shown words, such
as hop skip or Jump" A cadet
teacher then proceeds to put the word
in action. The pupil initiates her. and,
after the whole class spends sufficient
time in hopping, skipping or jumping, IL
becomes language perfect 50 far as the
word in question is concerned.
Superintendent speer is the author of
Speer's arithmetic, by which the third
r. is learned by means Of blocks. He
saysN that great care must be taken to
prevent children from learning TO read
during the language lessons, as the OBJ
ject is merely to teach them to speak
and think.
simple words to comparatively difficult
sentences, such as Wash your face"
Comb your hair" and Brush your
clothes. -
The sight Of a pretty teacher going
through this pantomime and repeating
is said to be a great stimulus to elo-
quence. There is no question about the
enjoyment OF the pupils during the les
son. They i'm itate the actions with the
faithfulness of monkeys, and their pa
rents wonder at their talents. Some OF
the sentences for the first grade are:
Ring the bell" Run on your toes
Half sole your Shoes Play stoop
tag. Ride a brOomstick,' % Make snow
balls"
The educators engaged in teaching the
system say that before two years have
gone by pupils will be able to go
through appropriate actions when they
have such expressions as.
Lean over Your desk. Put the DOH
to sleep Shake your left hand slowly.
Walk slowly and beat the drum softly
Throw q bean bag at the target. Put
your hands in your pockets Bow to
the blue-eyed girl"
This last is a favorite with the boys,
and it. is claimed they all play favor
ties.
Beating the drum softly does not come
SO easy. and shaking the left hand IS
always attended with the difficulty of
distinguishing it from the right

or perhaps two months ago that the
Kansas City lady came to Topeka to
visit her friend, the young, n arried wo-

would leave the next day and the Kan

1t may not have been just exactly in
conformity with strict social customs,
but such things often occur. The prOpo
sition was that the two women SHOULD
board the Rock Island passenger train
which was in charge of the friendly
conductor. They would enter the train
at North Topeka so they would not be
observed, would ride to the end of the
division and return with him ON the
next trip. A telegram to the effect was
sent to the conductor.
