A GOOD WORD FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS
Among all the noble and magnificent
benefactions credited to American men
of wealth in recent years, we know of
none more wisely and worthiiy bestow-
ed than that of the late Lewis Eliin, OF
Philadelphia, who left the bulk Of his
fortune of $2,0000O0 in trust to create a
fund for the benefit of disabled women
teachers who have taught in the public
schools Of that city for 25 years, and
have no means of support. The fund
will provide the beneficiaries with an
annuity Of about s400 each. The be-
quest is noteworthy because almost
without precedent. 1t is an example,
however, which other men Of large for
tune might we'll follow. The average
income of teachers in all our schools,
public and private from the lowest to
the highest, is pitiably small. the aver
age not exceeding $400 Many of the
professors in our high institutions of
learning receive less than 81 600 year,
and many others not over half that
amount, or a sum less than that earned

by some unskilled workmen. Consider
ing the large expense involved in prep
aration for teaching, an expense grow
ing larger every year, as the require
ments and standards for admission to
the profession are advanced, the sala-
ries paid are meagre and wholly mad
equate. Cultured and refined men and
women cannot secure the comforts,
helps and conveniences which their
profession and accompaniment de-
mand that they have on such incomes.
Far better and more satisfactory than
any benefactions would be general
and large advance in the salaries paid
to the teachers. but in lieu of this, gifts
of such proportion as that made by the
Philadelphia financier, are to be well
coined and encouraged.-Exchange.

RESENTED THE CoMMENT-A we'll
known savings institution has unique
system Of receiving deposits. People
who patronize the bank first take their
money to a receiving teller, and then
pass along to another cIerk whose bus
iness it is to verify the entry in the
hand books and deliver them to the
proper owners. John JONES'" he will
call out for instance. When John Jones
answers the clerk asks him how much
his deposit was, and upon receiving a
correct reply hands over the book.
On Saturday little irrascible-looking
Irishman was one of tue depositors in
line. How much?" queried the clerk
when the Celt had answered to his

positor. Vera Little" sung out the

D1sPENsARY SUGGEsTIoN.-A corre-
spondent of the Anderson Intelligencer
makes a novel suggestion in regard to
the dispensary law. He thinks the
law should be enforced as 1t now Is,
with the exception Of price at which
the stuff is sold. He would have prices
doubled and at the end Of each year
have the dispenser return to the wives
or mothers of the purchasers one-half
of the amount they paid in. When
there are no dependent members then
the share to go to the county to enlarge
the poor house, which is likely to re-
ceive the old soaks in time. The only
fault we see in this plan is that the
man who makes a beast Of himself by
drink, is likely to wheedle or steal his
wifes share of the profits and blow it
in.-Aiken Journal and review.

wife whenever an occasion arises, and a

GENIALITY DISCOURAGED.


Hawkins is a man who prides him
self on his good memory. 1t is his
boast that he never forgets a face. And
when the name has escaped him he US
ually finds a way to avoid embarrass-
ment.
1T Just takes a little quickness OF
w.t." is the way he puts 1t. 1T is al
ways easy to make a man who speaks
to you feel at home. It don't cost any
thing, and you never can tell how much
good it may do you some time
Hawkins spent three years as super
intendent of a plow factory in Des
Moines, Ia. Later ne was for two years
at the head of a similar enterprise
in Columbus, o. The last five years
he has lived in Chicago. Consequently
he frequently meets old acquaintance
on the streets. He met one the other
day that upset all his theories and gave
his friends a chance to poke fun at his
former boasts. When he got off the
elevator at noon he noticed a man
standing in the doorway, who stared
at him inquiringly. Hawkins returned
the stare, though to save his life he
could not remember ever having seen
the stranger. Presently the man step
ped up to him and said:
isn't this Mr. Hawkins?"
Yes, SIR
Hiram ]. Hawkins?"
Yes"
well, I'm Sawdell," said the strang-
er, extending hand. Neither name nor
face conveyed any trace of meaning to
Hawkins, but he promptly proceeded
to put his quick wits into operation.
"How-de-do, Sawdell," he said.
"How's everything in Columbus?"
"Columbus!" said the man, with an
expression of surprise. why, I knew
you in Des Moines, Ia"
why, of course" said Hawkins, sure
he was on the right track now. II
remember you we'll. How's things at
the plow works?"
"Plow works." said the stranger. II
don't know anything about the plow
works. But don't you remember Pol
ly?"
why, sure" said the now desperate
Hawkins, with an embarrassed laugh.
"Of course I remember Polly. How are
you, Polly, anyway"
I'm not Polly" said the stranger.
I'm the man who married her. Polly
ways told me that if saw you I was
to say that you owed her for two weeks
work."
Hawkins gave the man a dollar to
get rid of him. He is uncertain still
whether or not he was the victim Of a
new species of confidence game.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

A STUNNER.-One Of those drummers
who does a good deal Of driving about
the country. delights in telling about an
old boniface who runs a country hotel
within a days drive of Detroit.
Sharp as a tack" declares the drum
mer. Always as smooth as oil until
some one tries to make run on him
and then he can get back harder and
faster and in fewer words than any
man ever heard talk.
II saw a man come in there one day
from the city. He is all right at home
but was feeling his oats tnat day and
opened up on the old landlord by say
ing: Hello, grandad. get your frame in
to circulation. Don't set around like a
bump on a log. I want accommodation
for man and beast
Where's the man? asked the old
chap, in a flash."-Detroit Free Press.

THUNDERSTORM TERROR.
Little Reason For 1t, But That Does
Not Help the Victim Materially.

Not Help the Victim Materially.
The unusual number and exceptional
severity of thunderstorms recently,
have probably caused a great many
people more acute suffering than they
would experience from the raging of a
rabid dog in the street, or the appear
ance Of the bubonic plaugue. There Is
nothing except the violent shock Of an
earthquake, which can compare with a
thunderstorm as a cause of terror to
persons who are so unfortunate as to
have what appears to be constitution
al and often ineradicable timidity in a
storm.
In some cases it is certain that no
amount Of effort and no sense Of shame
can prevent a pitiful exhibition Of cow
ardice. Men Of proved valor in other
trying circumstances, sometimes be-
come panic stricken, and, with blanch-
ed and wild eyes Of fright, cover and
trembled at every crash as though
something more terrible than death I'M
|
civil war Is reported the death, from
pure fright, in a storm before Rich
mond, of a soldier who had been twice
wounded in battle. Women, however,
are most often the victims Of thunder
storm fright.
Doubtless the helplessness Of the sit
uation has something to do with the
extremity Of fear. Soldiers who have
shown tendency to panic when under
fire which they could not return have
behaved with gallantry when COM
manded to advance on the foe. In the
feeling that he is impotent there Is
hardly an absurdity which the wretch
ed subject of thunderstorm fright will
not commit, from sitting on a chair
which has been insulated with glass
tumblers, to crawling under feather
bed. There is widespread belief that
feathers will protect one from light
ming; but an old lady abandoned this
when her goose was struck. Storm
fright is exaggerated by the delusive
sensation of nearness at every loud
crash.
Attempts to reason people out of their
fears do not often succeed. Persons
who ride much on the cars with never
thought Of danger, and who violate
the laws Of health with serenity Of
mind, cannot go all through a severe
storm without fear, although they
know that the fatalities from lightning
are no greater than those from railway
or other accidents. The precautions
which can be taken against lightning
are few. There is no longer the wide
spread confidence of half-century ago
in the lightning rod, although rod
such as science would suggest might
prove protective. The rods which for
merly covered the houses and barns
were more of a danger than a protec-
ton.
One who really fears that he may be
struck by lightning should note that
any metallic article may attract the
current-such as the ribs of an umbrel-
la, watch and chain, keys and the like.
Trees and other tall objects are par
ticularly liable to be struck. BY dwell
ing on the fact that there is no more
danger Of death from lightning than
from a dozen other things, and that
fatal lightning stroke is far more mer-
ciful than many other causes Of death,
some of the victims of thunderstorm
fright should be able to diminish their
agitation.-Philadelph Record.

EAGER TO GREET INCOMING PASSENGERS,
THEY FORCE THE CUSTOMS BARRIERS.
The crowd waiting for friends on the American
Line pier as the steamship ST. Louis was dock
ing yesterday broke through the customs line
into the baggage Inclosure. Since the rule
went into effect excluding friends from the por-
ton OF the pier where baggage is examined the
American Line officials have divided the pier
lengthways. portion being reserved for in
coming passengers and their baggage. The d.
viding line is rope, which is easily lifted. al
lowing persons to pass under.
AS the vessel coming into her pier the
friends who had been waiting made a rush
through the ropes and into the inclosure. The
customs officials tried TO get the crowd back but
not before many had gone through. It is prob
able that Colonel Storey. who is in charge Of the
inspectors. will have more men stationed along
the line the next time American Line steam
ship comes in. and that wooden fence will be
erected.
On the ST. Louis was Gordon B. Daniels, of
Washington, vice-consuI at Hull IN Mr. Cleve-
lands administration. He IS returning from
South Africa, where he went a correspondent
Of The Daily Express" London. He accompa-
MED Butler through his campaign. Like all the
newspaper correspondents" he said, Il have
come back strongly pro-Boer." He said he had
had no opportunity to tell the British about the
conditions in South Africa, and had come to
this country to inform the Americans.
