IN SUPREME COURT. Validity of a contract by Faulkner County School
 Board.

Mir. Justice Hughes delivered the opinion of the supreme court Saturday in the case of School District No. 4o, Faulkner county, vs. R. F. Adams, on appeal from the Faulkner circuit court.
 This was suit by plaintiff R. F. Adams, against School District No. 4e, of Faulkner county, to re- cover three months wages as teach CT at S25 per month.
 To sustain his suit plaintiff in troduced as evidence his contract with said district. He also testi fled that he held a certificate to teach in the public schools. He says he went on the fourth of July to teach the school and Reeves and Firestone, two of the directors, re fused to let him in the house be- cause Miss Harris was teaching. He says the contract was signed on May B, but some time before that Kuykendall and Wilson had spok- ell to him about the school and he told them he would teach the school and on May 23 they brought the contract signed by Kuyken dall and Wilson, which was ill ac cordance with their previous agree ment and he executed it early i'll the morning. He was always ready and willing to comply with contract.
 T. $. Wilson, a witness for plaintiff, testified that on the third Saturday i'll May, 1898, Wm. Fire stone was elected school director for district No. 10, to take the place of A. F. Ruykendall, whose time had expired, and on Monday morning next he and Kuykendall, in accordance with an agreement previously made between him and Kuykendall, went to J. J. Reeves house. Kuykeddall got there be fore witness. Reeves and Kuy- kendall were at Reeves barn when witness got there. Witness says he told Reeves they came to have a school meeting and elect school teacher. Reeves said he would have nothing to do with 1t and re fused to act with them. Witness suggested R. F. Adams be selected as teacher and Kuykendall agreed to 1t. We had the contract already made out and he and 1 signed 1t, and Reeves said he would have nothing to do with 1t. We had not given Reeves any notice of this meeting Witness and Kuy- kendall had the Adams contract i'll our hands for several days before that. We had promised him the school. Witness sent his children to Miss Emma Harris. Witness had been elected director at a special school meeting some time before that. Don't know whether any notice of such election had been given or not. We kept no record nor minutes of the meeting at which time we made the con- tract.
 A. F. Kuykendall, for plaintiff, testified the same ill substance as Wilson and the plaintiff. Here closed his testimony.
 ]. l. R. Reeves, sworn as a wit ness for defendont, says: l was director of school district No. 4o, Faulkner county. My term ex pired May, 1899. At the election, 1908, Wm. Firestone was elected in the place of A. F. Kuykendall, di- rector. On Sunday I said to T. $. Wilson, who was acting as director, to come over at two o'clock next day to the school house and let's have a meeting, as Wm. Firestone

4 Word sad It's Origin.

Boycott" says writer on" Words and
Their Histoay," in the June St. Nicholas,
came into common use about 1875 to
signify method of injuring the business
or social prospects of person. The
word and the custom of stunning a boy
cotted victim arose in Ireland; but boy
cotting soon became so general that it
was recognized in all so-called enlighten-
ed countries. The agent of large
landed estate in Connemara was Cap.
tain Boycott, who was so unpopular with
the tenants that they begged for his re-
movai. As Lord Earne, the landowner,
refused to remeve him, the tenants
sought redress by refusing to work for
the agent or to allow others to do so.
Tradesmen would not deal with him, his
own servants deserted him, and many Of
his friends gave him the cold shoulder.
Finding that he was in danger of starva-
ton, number Of Ulster men came to
his relief, harvested his crops while un-
der the protection Of armed troops, and
enabled him, for time at least, to escape
absolute ruin. Many men have been
boycotted since Captain Boycott's un-
happy experience introduced the new
word, and boycott, the world over, is
recognized as term for which there is
no exact synonym.

london's Greatest Danger.

"In London there are at present eight
hundred thousand young men," writes
w. S. Harwood in the June Century.
at is, demonstrated by the most careful
and systematic census effort that fully
SIX hundred thousand of this number do
not associate themselves in religious
work. 1t is among these six hundred
thousand young men that the work of
the London association is most pressed.
l asked Mr.. Putterill what was the great
est obstacle he had to overcome in
reaching these young men. He told me
that it was not the liquor-drinking habit,
terrible as is its hold upon the young
men Of this vast mass, but the appalling
prevalence of vice. If half is true that
was told me in London about the preva-
lence of the most degrading habits
among the young men of that city, there
is little wonder that those in positions to
know look with the keenest apprehen-
sions to the future-a future which
promises to make the young manhood of
London within three generations physi-
cal wreck, if not reinforced by fresher
blood from the provinces. Indeed. there
will not long be waiting such another
wave Of apprehension as that which has
recently swept over France concerning
the social situation in Paris, if some
check is not found against the advance
of immortality in London
