This item is for the fliteen-year old
boy who thinks 1t is a smart thing to
act up so mean at school that he wears
out the life OF his teacher and destroys
the good work which the school was
intended to accomplish. This sort Of
heather is found In country as well as
city schools. They are too big for lit
tic woman to thrash, and seem to have
no moral sense which may be appealed
to. Now, boys, you are the architects
OF your own fortunes. You can improve
the educational advantages given you,
and become useful aud worthy citizens,
or you can raise Cain, as you do in
school, graduate from there into brake
beam tramp, and die dirty bum.
You can make your choice. The sure
way TO get into plenty OF trouble when
grown to manhood Is to MAKE lots OF
trouble in the public schools. You
ought to have got the meanness well
licked out OF you, but the teacher can't
do it, your father won't and the school
board had rather dre you than lick you
Fun and plenty Of IL is the birthright Of
the American boy, but your type OF
meanness is not fun; 1t is the outcrop-
ping OF the heathen in you, and you
belong with the Moros or Tagals Of the
Philippines rather than with the people
OF civilized North America. Turn over
a nav leaf.

There is many heart that is aching
tonight,
For the want OF a kind word spoken,
And many soul that is perishing,
For the need OF friendly token.
O, speak the kind words that are need
ed TO save
Some life from an ocean OF sorrow;
30 quick, Or the chance OF a rescue
may pass
And your help be useless tomorrow
Don't grudge them the smile that will
brighten their life,
Or the clasp OF your hand when
needed;
Or the time may come you will sorrow
in vain
For tho chance you 30 little needed.
I hen speak tho kind words while yet
there is time,
And help some ones burdens grow
lighter;
IL may save some poor soul from the
depths Of despair,
And make your own life all the
brighter.
There ID many heart that is aching
tonight,
For the want OF some loving token,
And many lie that is wrecked for
the need
Ofthe words that are never spoken.

An old farmer was in a merchants e
Office and asked If he would buy
some fresh butter. The merchant told
him that he would inquire II his vile
needed any. 30 he stepped up to the
telephone, called her up and talked a
few seconds through the telephone.
Then, turning to the country man, who
was standing with bis hands in his
pockets, his eyes stretched, and his
face very red, he told him tina; his wife
did not need any butter. The indig-
nsnt country man blurted out: Look
here, mister, II you didn't want any
butter, why didn't you say 80? / ain't
such fool as 10 think that you've got
your wife shut up in that little box %
And he went away leaving tho mer.

my last letter. The senate adopted SEN
ator Culbersen's resolution calling on
the secretary OF war for q statement OF
the expense which the Philippines have
been to the United States since their ac-
QUESTION, and it is most likely that the
figures will prove revelation to the tax
payers.
The investigation OF the committee on
relations with Cuba has not developed
anything sensational in regard to the
possession by the sugar trust OF Cuban
sugar. In fact, the president, the treas.
urer and raw sugar buyer" OF the trust
have all been examined and haye stated,
under oath, that the trust held no Cuban
sugar. 1t would appear from their state
ments that reciprocity with Cuba would
affect them little, one way or the other,
and they positively deny having lobbied
to procure Cuban reciprocity. The iudi.
cations are that the adoption Of the Tel
Ter resolution will strengthen the cause
OF the administration in urging congress
to adopt reciprocity lsv.
The House OF Representatives has
been displaying unusual industry dur

two more appropriation bills remain, the

Times are lively and substantial at
Kinneyville. Business is progressing on
a solid basis.
John Hall lie working his ledge on up
per Grave Greek, and it is showing up
very satisfactorily.
Our stores are doing rushing busi-
ness, and their delivery wagons are kept
busy delivering goods.
Leland is thinking OF getting traction

depot to Hotel Virtue and to other parts
OF our city.

Hugo is too far from Leland to max e

Hugo.
Linn Browning was in our burg one
day last week. lie reports times lively
at Placer. A good deal OF prospecting
is being done in that section. The Co.
lumbia mine has plenty of water yet.
The cool weather is favorable for mining.
s. B. Pettingill has been on the sick
list, but is better at present writing.
Uncle Burton is jumping around like
young man, although away up in the
70s. Being OF Yankee stock, be carries
his age we'll and is full Of life and energy.
Mrs. Henry oil Hugo made our town a
visit one day last week. She reports
quiet times at Hugo. She says they
have the best field of barley in our
county. 1t was sown early last fall and
is ten feet high or less. She is selling
very useful articles, but being so sedate
and a light talker, the goods sell on their
merits.
Speaking OF different characters, we
have a man here who is a woodcutter
and, Judging from his statements as Ia
what ho has been occupied in during his
life, he is about 800 years old and is still
bale and hearty. He is now employed
in cutting wood for his health. II any
one can beat that, then we will look
around and see il we eau find any old
women. We have some that are very

this world was paradise. 1t is so late
in the spring that we think all danger OF
frost IL past, so we can calculate on a big
crop OF fruit.
We saw some parties from the Copper
stain mine recently. They showed us
some rich rock that came from the mine.
The rock had pieces of gold mixed
through the quartz. A few. years ago
there was class of men calling them
selves miners who would travel over the
hills digging little holes the size Of hens
nests and say there was nothing in the
country, but other miners would come in
and give the ground close examination
and also go down on the quartz and
would uncover good ledge. The deeper
down they go, the richer and better be-
comes the ledge.

The grossest injury which Dick
ems ever inflicted on fellow being
was his too accurate portrait of an
innocent man in his Squeers. That
Yorkshire schoolmasters were, as a
rule, cruel and wicked enough it is
true. but the particular school
master who was recognized and
who recognized himself as the
original Squeers seems to have
been an exception to the rule.
1t will be remembered that
Dickens and his illustrator travelled
together to the north of England
for the purpose of collecting ma
terial for ''Nickleby' and especially
for the Dotheboys episode. At
Great Bridge they visited a board
ing school known as Bowes acad-
envy. The master, William Shaw,
received the strangers with some
hauteur and not as much as with
draw his eyes from the operation
of penmaking during the interview.
Phiz sketched him in the act.
The personal peculiarities of Will
liam Shaw were recognized In
Squeers. Shaw became a butt of
popular ridicule, lost his pupils
and finally died of broken heart.
Yet there is abundant evidence to
prove that he was a really ex-
cellent and kind hearted man, who
was made to suffer for the mis-
deeds of his neighbors.- Literary

That ants doctor their sick by
hypnotism and magnetism is
proved by observation. An ardent
student tells how he witnessed
what may be termed a seance in
medical science among ants. He
saw several of these little creatures
emerge from the hill and noticed
that there were some among them
which we're weak and emaciated-
invalids, in fact They were accom-
panied by healthy members of the
community, and all made their
way toward a distant mound.
On following their movements
through glass the observer saw
on this mound a big and sturdy
ant, which made some motions in
the direction of the advancing
invalids. The latter went up the
mound, one by one, and submitted
themselves to treatment. This
consisted in the physician ant
passing his feelers over the head
and body Of the patient in a man.
ner distinctly suggestive of the
hypnotizing of nerves and muscles
practiced by human doctors. Every
one went through the treatment;
then the patients went back, and
the doctor marched off in the op-
posite direction.-Ex.

The reaction that always follows anything out
of the ordinary has arrived In its customary up
to-date manner, the New York journal" announces
editorialy that Prince Henry popularity is due to
newspaper putting more than to any fondness for the
man and country he represents. And this probably
fact The prince unknown in America before
he arrived here; there is reason why an American
should be particularly hilarious a German rep

and platitudinous official uterances have not been
of the sort that create unbounded enthusiasm in the
bosoms of the It was not case of personal
popularity anyway: tho it probably would be should
the prince come again, for he seems to have made
friends of all with whom he in contact: it was
of extending hearty welcome to a represen-

honors went back to their work, leaving the after
math of talk and putting, if there any to be DONE
