UNION, S. c., APRIL t, 1902.

The House Of Representatives passed
the Army Appropriation bill with but
one important amendment. That
provides that the Secretary Of War
may call Into active service those
officers who have been retired for dis
ability. The amendment is aimed
at certain officers who have been re-
tired and have later so far recovered
as TO be able to earn compentencies
outside OF the service. On Friday
the House devoted itself to the pen
sion bills Of which there were great
plumber on the calendar. Saturday
was devoted to the consideration Of a
bill making various changes in the
Revenue Cutter.

Wonders will never cease. This
hide-bound, single gold standard adj
ministration has endorsed the free
and unlimited coinage of silver dollars
for the Philippines, and the present
understanding is that the Philippine
bill now being prepared by the Senate
committee on the Philippines will
provide therefor, and the admins
tration tooters are claiming that the
proposed free coinage of silver will
make all the ilver-propucing States
advocates Of the permanent retention
Of the Philippines, which is an in
direct way of acknowledging that
those States do not now favor per-
mancnt retention of the islands.

One day at recess. when the school

master hard a sudden lull. Looking
out the window he saw the children
lined up against the fence watching Il
teamster, who was stupidity trying to
whip his horse up the hill that ran
PAST the school The wagon was load
ed heavily with garden stuff. and the
horse WAS doing his best TO no purpose.
Suddenly one of the boys Went into
the street. and evidently demonstrated
with the driver. For answer he got an
ugly slash of the whip. and reeed back
holding his hands over his eyes.
This was too much for Levenworth
He ran down stairs and out across the
playground. Coolly pushing "A stone

was late 100. II took him Il little time
to put his clothes in order and wash
his face and hands. Meanwhile the

noise and excitement and took their
seats. They We're Subdued and or

A Fighting SchOoImaster.

The experience of IL college graduate.
named Levenworth. who taught for a
year in a little Western town. is an ex-
ample of the way in which a teacher
sometimes wins the admiration of his
pupils quite unexpectedly.
Levenworth was not Il teacher by
nature or profession but. as many men
have done. he spent Il year teaching to
get money enough to help himself
through the law school. He was Il
hearty. clear minded fellow. who kept
rather aloof from the townspeople.
The local paper spoke OF him as hav-
ing had promising career in col
Iege."
Part of this promising career had. as
it happened. been spent in athletics
EIe had learned to box and wrestle
and had won his class championship
in the art which, from its unfortunate
association with the prize ring. has
not so good a reputation among the
peaceful as, in its legitimate form, it
deserves.
His school was quiet and orderly
from the start. but he found it hard
work to get on intimate terms with
the twenty boys under him. They
obeyed at a distance but did not show
much. personal friendship for him.
