Writing Compositions.

"Children," said the teacher, while
instructing the class in composition,
''you should not attempt any flights
of fancy, but simply be yourselves,
and write what is in you. Do not
initiate any other PERSONS writings
or draw inspiration from outside
sources"
AS a result of this advice Johnny
Wise turned in the following com
position;
ave should not attempt any fiites
Of fancy, but rite what is in us. In

The Assassin Killed.

Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of Pres
ident Mckinley, was put to death in
the electrical chair at Auburn, N.
Y, prison Tuesday morning at about
Z o'clock. Only four minutes elapsed
from the time he was led from his
cell before he was dead. He made
no statement beyond saying that he
did not repent Of the deed and was
stoical and sullen in demeanor. The
body was buried i'm the prison eeme-
terry and will be destroyed by the use
of acids with which it was surround
ed. All the effects Of the criminal
were burned so that the memory OF
the assassin may be speedily efiaced
from the public mind. If he sought
lasting notoriety, and it is difficulty
to imagine what motive prompted
him to commit the crime, he will
have failed Of his subject. Deserted
in his extremity by his former asso-
ciates, he died an outcast and his
name, covered with ignominy, will
soon be forgotten. 1here is nothing
in his life, its end or the memory oi
it that will stimulate any one t.
emulate his example.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Your correspondent called on Sec
retary Of the Treasury Gage after his
return from Milwaukee and asked
the secretary to somewhat further
elucidate his financial creed as given
to the American Bankers association.
Mr.. Gage replied that he hardly cared
to go into the subject more extensive
~ at this time as he was just prepar-
ing his annual report and that to 50
would be to ''steal the thunder'' from
that. "Then I understand that an
elucidation Of those ideas and the
methods by which they may be car
ried out will form the chief topic of
your report?" was asked. "Not pre-
cisely. did not say that" the sec
retary replied. "But substantially
"Well, to a considerable extent. :"
'Mr. Secretary, the papers opposed
to the administration are charging
you with favoring the bankers at the
expense Of the people and tnat by
your system you would put the peo-
pie entirely in the power of the ban
kers." "Of course, that was to te
expected. But that arises from a
wrong conception ofthe facts. Those
papers don't, or won't, appreciate
that the prosperity Of the bankers de-
pends upon the prosperity Of the peo-
pie, that their interests are identical"
"Would you not place in the hands
Of the bankers the power to initiate OF
contact the currency at will?" "My
idea is simply to get the government
out of the banking business. That is
not its province and it is the province
Of the banks. But you must wait
for my annual report for further
details"

Abnnt Starting Fires.

In a conversation held recently
with Mr.. White, newcomer to our
town and man of various attain
ments and much practical knowl-
edge, some useful information was
gained. At this time of year when
coal and wood fires are being start
ed for the winter difficulty is often
experienced in securing the proper
draught. A piece of zinc burned in
the stove is an easy and inexpensive
method of obviating the difficulty,
because the fumes arising from the
burning zinc are of such nature as
to consume the superhuous accumu-
lations in the chimney. Mr. White
owns a complete set of surgical in
struments aud several times in
cases of emergency has used them
with the efficiency of skilled sur
geon.
