the terrors of the coming storm.
''Tie me good and tight" said Agasi,

Then they put the rope around his
neck, and the Planduc said: Now, we
will give you a tight haul on this, and
l am sure you will be safe So they
put a stick in the loop of the rope,
and began twisting 1t to tighten it
about his neck, and by swinging on
to the end of the stick they made the
rope so tight that Agasi was choked
to death. When the others came back
and found their fish all right, they
said

Important Knowledge Tor the BOY
Beginning His Business Career.
People differ as to how much a col
legiate education helps young man
in a business career, some contending
that it is of the utmost Importance:
others, that he can get along without
it. AS a matter of fact, it depends on
the young man himself, for while a col
legiate education can hardly be called
a hindrance, it might, in some cases,
give a young fellow a foolish pride
that would make him hold himself
above the so-called drudgery of a bus
mess life.
A very successful man, in speaking
of what young man should know to
begin a business life in the right way,
summarized tine qualifications about
as follows:
legible hand.
To spell all the words that he
knows how to use.
To speak and write good English.
To write a good social or business
letter.
To add a column of figures rapidly.
To make out an ordinary account.

To receipt an account when 1t is
paid.
To write an advertisement for the
newspaper.
To write an ordinary promissory
note.
To reckon the interest, or the dis
count, on the note for years, months
or days.
To draw up an ordinary bank check.
To take it to the right place in the
bank to get the money.
To make neat and correct entries IN
day-book or cash-book.
To tell the number of yards of car
pet required for the parlor.
To tell something about the great
authors, statesmen and financiers of
the present time.
If, says the successful business man.
a boy can do all this. it is probable
that he has enough education to make
his way in the world.

1t was at first proposed to send Mr..
Davis to the North, via Chattanooga
and Louisville, and Maj. Gen. Geo. H.
Thomas, L. S. A., "Old Pap" Thomas,
as the boys called him, telegraphed
from Nashville to Gen. Allen, at
Louisville, how to treat the distin
guished prisoner. Il wish you to be
prepared to forward with
perfect security alike from escape as
we'll as from insult and the annoy
ance of curiosity hunters" He also
telegraphed the Commanding officer"
at Chattanooga similar instructions as
to Mr.. Davis and Gov. Joseph E.
Brown of Georgia: "They are to be
treated with the utmost courtesy con-
sistent with perfect security, and pro-
tected alike from insult and the an
noyance of curiosity hunters Gen.
Thomas was a Virginia gentleman,
and not a scrub like the officer who
so often personally insulted Mr.. Davis
while his prisoner at Fortress Monroe.

clawing at his eyes, and biting his ears
and neck. Agasi brushed about his
head as if brushing away flies, and at
last striking the Monkey, knocked him
a hundred yards away. The Monkey
picked himself up, almost killed, and
watched Agasi devour the rest of the
fish and go. When the others returned
they found the Monkey bruised and
beaten, and when questioned, he said:
He made no more of me than a fly.
He was too big for me. Why, he was

The Planduc is a small deer of Bor-
neo, and it is we'll known that he is
the possessor of a bright mind One
day he called the other animals, the
Horse, the Bull, the Carabao, the Rat,
the Cat, the Elephant, the Monkey, the
Parrot, the Snake and many others and
said to them provide yourselves
with hooks and lines, and l will teach
you all how to fish" Then he
got a boat and when they all came
with their tackle took them aboard and
instructed them in the art of fishing.
They made a good catch, and when
they returned with it built a kiln in
which to dry the fish.
When they made ready for another
fishing trip the question at once arose
who should watch the drying fish while
the rest were gone. The choice finally
fell upon the Horse. They had not been
gone long when a great, wild, hairy
giant called Agas, who lived in the
mountain forest came up and said:
Hello, Horse! What are you doing
here?"

Il don't care what you want" said
Agasi, who began helping himself.
The Horse was afraid and ran off out
of reach, while Agas devoured the
fish and went away. When the others
returned they cried OUT
Here, Horse. Where are the fish?"
"A great, savage giant came and ate
them all up" replied the Horse.

they said. all together.

said the Horse.
The others jeered at him and were
much inclined to blame him; especially
the Carabao, who made remarks re-
flecting on the Horses bravery, saying
he would have fought.
Well" said the Horse, "since you are
such fighter, stay and look after this
lot yourself"
This being finally agreed upon, they

Wallace Putnam Reed, in an inter-
esting article on the first war move
ments in Atlanta, Ga, in March, 1861,
falls into on error when he states that
Capt. G. w. Lees company unfurled
the first Confederate flag ever raised
in Georgia" 1t may be true that lad
les on the train from Montgomery to
Atlanta, on March 5, 1861 made a flag
and presented it to Capt. Lee, and that
1.-THE following day his company par
AIDED in Atlanta with the flag amid
the greatest enthusiasm" But it is
also true that the noble and now saint
ed wife of the lamented Col. Thomas
Hardeman, then Captain of the gallant
old Floyd Rifles of Macon Ga, sat up
all night March 4th, with other patri-
otto ladies, and made the first Con-
federate flag unfurled in Georgia. AS
soon as the Provisional Congress de-
cided upon a design for the flag, a tele-
gram was sent to Macon, and the flag
was completed in time to float from the
staff of the Rifles armory at daybreak
next morning. The Company paraded
and the event was one of thrilling in
terest. Now if Capt. Lee paraded his
Company in Atlanta, as stated, the
next morning after his return from
Montgomery, it must have been at
least a day later than March 5, 1861,
the time the Floyd Rifles unfurled
their Confederate flag, which, l am
sure, was the first thrown to the
breeze on Georgia soil The records
will show that the first Confederate
flag made was raised over the capital
at Montgomery at o'clock, a. m, the
day before.

RESOLUTIONS FOR MISS WHITE
Teachers Who Were Associated with
Her In the schools DepIOre
Her Death.

At the regular October meeting OF the
board Of directors Of the Omaha Teachers
Annuity and Aid association the following
tribute to their late associate, Miss Ellen
NJ. White, was ordered spread upon the
minutes.
In memoriam: For the first time in it's
history death has invaded the ranks Of
the active membership of the Teachers
Annuity and Aid association, and we, as
members of this association, Wish to record
our sorrow in the death of our associate
and co-worker, Miss Ellen NJ. White. In
Miss White many of us have lost a faith
full friend, who oftentimes reached out the
helping hand or spoke the word Of en-
couragement OF wise counsel in the un-
obtrusive manner characteristic of her.
Not until the last roll is called and the
last report is in can be estimated the
worth and extent of Miss Whites inhu-
ence upon the young lives with which she
came in contact. Her sterling qualities
of mind and heart, her steady adherence
to the highest ideals, together with her
unhinching devotion to duty, eminently
fitted her for her chosen work. To Miss
White this work was a ministry, and our
friends needs neither lofty marble shaft nor
eloquent epitaph to remind us that she
has lived, for in homes of the rich and
the poor her memory will be treasured.
while everywhere her name will be spoken
reverently, for she was kind.
