Old-iashioned Training
It's Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old.fashioncd
training was the stress laid upon moral.
ity and virtue. NBe good and you'll
be happy,a was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi.
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was untlehled. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side Of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

The falling off of the attendance
upon the leading theological SEM
inaries in the country has caused
some discussion of late with q
view of ascertaining the cause.
One Of the causes is that all Of
the leading theological schools
have raised the standard Of adj,
mission and have so changed the
course of study that mon of in.
ferior ability cannot keep up with
the classes. Last year Yale dis
missed four students against
whose moral and religious char
acters no objection could be
raised. simply because they lacked
the intellectual ability to make
them successful in the ministry,
yet the four men were graduates
from colleges Indianapolis Jour-
nal.

arrested by a constable for alleged
cruelty to his wife, and William Brown
was likewise taken into custody by q

Public Library.
The Denison Bulletin says:


"The $4,000 subscribed by DenisoL
citizens and the $1,000 offered by al
outside party for library fund is now
all paid in aud is ready for use as soon
as arrangements are made. A meeting
of all who gave to the fund will be cali
ed at the city hall at 1870 o'clock Fri.
dey evening, toelect a purchasing COM
mittee and TO decide such other Ques-
tlons as may arise IN connection with
the establishment of the library"
We are glad to see an effort made By
our sister town to establish q public
library. Next to public school, the
public library for a live town is the
most important. Missouri Valley has
had one for the past twenty years, first
secured by private enterprise. but by 8
vote of the city two years ago, it was
made free public city library, and is
now sustained by small tax. From
q small beginning it has grown to large
proportions, containing over 1000 vol
umes of valuable books, embracing
history, geography. Biography, science,
literature, art. and miscellany, also. a
large number of papers, magazines and
public documents. The library is open
to the public on Wednesdays and Sat.
urdays of each week, and is superin-
tended by Miss Turner, an accomplish
ed lady, who is always pleased
to assist the public in selecting books,
especially school children who are al
ways welcome. We are very proud of
our library, and hope Denison will Sc
cure one that will give her citizens as
great satisfaction.

is still very busy man, almost
as busy, in fact, as when he was

about thirty-four years ago. He
was Canadian high commissioner
in London for thirteen years, re-
firing in 1896 to become dominion

An odd dispute is reported
from Cygne, Kan, where a bank
failed recently. A man was at
the wicket getting his money on a
check for 1927 when the deputy
bank commissioners walked in and
took possession. The cashier had
paid the man 5000 in big bills and
was counting out the $27 in small
change when the commissioner
stopped him. The commissioners
claims that the man should pay
back the 5000; the man claims
that the commissioners should
have allowed him to receive the
1927.

HALF DOZEN WAR HORSES.
General Wilson Writes Entertaingly of
 the Steeds of Buell..


 We do not know how truly courage ous the horse is until he has been tried in the fiery crucible of war. A war test means forced marches, sleep less nights, scanty supplies of food faintness from thirst, the thunderous shock of arms ghastly piles of dead and flying, and the sickly smell of blood. It is a test from which the boldest often shrink, and, therefore, the horse that proudly carries his rider through the fierce storm of battle chal- lenges our warmest admiration.
 In scenes of suffering and danger the horse, as a rule, is not less heroic than man. Those who have supported light artillery in hot engagement and have seen how bravely the horse stands among the smoke, the deafening thun- der, and the leaden hail, when his mate has been shot down at his side, will never forget the picture, and they will never speak sneeringly of equine cour- age.

ever refused to go under fire" He was
 then led to the rear, Meade being sup
 piled with another charger.
 In the hope that Badly would recov-
 CT, he was kept until the following
 spring, though the general was never able to ride him again. Just before the
 Ahmy of the Potomac crossed the Rap
 idan he was sent to Philadelphia, and
 soon after placed in charge of Captain
 Samuel Ringwalt of Downington, Pa.,
 who had served under General Meade in the early days of the war and who knew all about Badly. He remained under his care until the war closed, when his master returned to Philadel- phia to find his favorite horse fully re- covered and in as good condition as ever. He used him constantly for sev- eral years, until, from long service and advancing age, he became unsafe as a saddle horse.
 Baldy was then presented to a friend in Montgomery county, who took the best of care of him until his death, in December, 1SS2 when he was believed to be thirty years of age. His last service was in November, 1872, when he was present in the hero's funeral cortege, following the remains of his old master to their resting place in Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia, near the grave of Commodore Isaac Hull
 After Baldys death his head and neck and fore hoofs were secured and are now cherished relics of the George c. Meade Post, No. 1, Department of Pennsylvania, G. A. R.

4 NEW ARRANGEMENr OF WORDS

Policemen all over the world owe a debt of gratitude to Chief O'Neill of Chicago. All over the world there is a theory and a saying that a policeman is never where he is wanted. Chief O'Neill was before a Council committee the other evening, and he was defend- ing his men from the usual accusations. When he was told that his men were never where they were wanted he re- torted that the proper thing to say is; "A policeman is never wanted where he is.''
 Good for Chief O'Neill. He can evil dently attend adequately to the talking part of his business, and, for all we know, to the other too. He has said something which will be useful to all policemen accused of not being in the right place at the right time. Of course policeman must be somewhere, even if he seems to be nowhere, and 1t isn't his fault if he doesn't happen to be wanted where he is, is it?

CHARTEI REFORME FRS.

There may be a question about the wisdom of some of the performances of Justice Jerome, of New York, who is trying to catch and punish some of the rascals who infest that city, but it is evident that he means we'll That he is deeply impressed by the magni- tude of the task which confronts would-be reformers in New York was made plain in the remarks he made at Norfolk in this State last Friday evening" He didn't seem to take very hopeful view of the future of the reform movement, and he gave one set of reformers a merited dig when he said: They seem to think if they get it into the charter that everything is done. Why. we will soon have our charter so full of prohibitory clauses, so stuffed with wonderful things, that the student of political economy in the near future will wonder whether it is simply a burglar alarm or a form of municipal government"
 New York isn't the only city that is afflicted with charter reformers. It has been found in many places that reform ed charters don't mean reformed gov ernment.
