uniane Punishment.

Prof Altha Warman who instruct
ed the institute in Putnam Co. last
week, inflicted a novel punishment
to get rid of irregular attendance.
The teachers had been struggling in
at almost any hour interrupting the
exercises aud putting in much OF
their time outside OF the hall where
the session was being held Prot
Warman lectured them several times
about the annoyance and finally an
nounced that be would not give
credit for five days attendance for
those who persisted in being tardy.
As credit for five days attendance is
required in order to get certificate,
the matter began to look more seri
Gus to the would be teachers They
began to inquire what could be
done to Justify them in the eyes Of
the exacting instructor, but upon
deliberation the instructor told them
the time having expired for their
putting in their attendance, he
would accept payment of 10 cent
fine from each teacher and give
them credit for five days if they
would be good during the rest of
the session. This proposition was
acceptable, a collection was taken
and more than six dollars in fines
was raised This was turned over
to the pastor OF local church and
the Professor had no further troub-
lie with attendance during this in
stitute.

s.Squeeze" in July Oats.

For the first time in the history
OF the Chicago Board OF Trade the
law has been invoked to check a
corner in grain The Patton syn
dictate, which is engineering deal
IN July oats, has been temporarily
enjo:ned from bidding up the price
OF the cereal and calling for further
margins. This drastic action was
taken by shorts, who found them
selves unable to deliver, 100000
bushels of oats, the supply being
controlled by the Patton crowd.
This amount was sold when prices
were considerably lower than current
quotations, some of the sales having
been made as low as 30 cents
bushel The price now is about So
cents. The manipulators have it
in their power to fix almost any
price for oats, and there are rumors
that ST. bushel is the objective
point. 1t is to escape settlement
on this basis that the shorts have
appealed to the courts. The final
disposition of the case is awaited
with much interest in speculative
circles, as the decision may have an
important bearing upon future cor
ners in the grain market. An ap
peal to the courts in such an affair
is probably unprecedented, and to
the outsider who does not speculate
it looks lik ''sguear from the men
who are beng beaten at a game they
knowingly entered into.

was following his father in the work,
and unnotieed by the father, stepped
to tap the horses that were drawing
the moving machine and got in front
of the cutter. The boy was caught
by the kuife bar and both feet cut en-
tlrely off, one at the ankle and the
other about an inch above. The boy
was taken to the house and DIR. Adj
amson, of Rogersville, and DR.. Scott,
of Rutan, summoned. They FASTENED
to the scene of the terrible accident,
and dressed the wounds. The boy
rallied from the shock, and is doing
as we'll as could be expected under the
circumstances. The Morris home is
about two miles from Rogersyille.
Mr.. Morris is farmer, and not in the
bestof circumstances. Much sympathy
is expressed for the child and the fam
lily in the very great calamity that has
come to them.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The more times a man measures a
womans logic the shorter it gets,
The quarrelsome man is mad with
you If you quarrel with him, hut mad
der if you won't.
One reason woman likes u %
home to visit her family is So sns can
speak of her chore boy as the Ter
or coachman.
The good thing about women is
that they can do SO many things With
out knowing how, while the men OF
the family know how but can't.
Pretty girls were stockings when
they go in swimming because
they are afraid of getting sunburn on
their legs, but of showing their legs.
When man is getting in seven
hours of sound, sweet sleep every
night is the time when his wife begins
to worry for fear he ought to be get
