dinner with his brother-in-law on the

himself as he sat in a chair. The
shot entered the head just above the

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors we're scarce and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and organ
ic action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green's Aug
ust Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied there is nothing serious
the matter with you. Get Green's
prize almanac.

Funny Things That Escape.

W. J. Arkell complains that most
really funny things happen outside OF
the comic papers and don't get round
ed up and brought in. One morning
he was at the telephone in his office,
apparently having trouble of his W
trying to communicate with some
body:
"What? Speak up! Can't under
stand a word! Say, give me that all
over again, please"
Then he turned to those about him
and said:
"Ill bet the wires are crossed again.
This telephone service is getting worse
and worse"
Another fruitless effort, and then a
sudden light broke in upon him:
"Well, that's the limit! Do you
know what's the matter with the wire!
The fellow at the other end that's
trying to talk to me suffers. "-New
York Times.

Origin of the Sabbath.

The Sabbath as a religious institu-
ton is far older than the Pentateuchal
legislation.
1t, too, a be traced back to a Bah
%ylonian prototype, not, however, as a
day of rest from labor, but as a kind
of atonement day, when by various
rites and by observing certain restrict
ed regulations the anger of the gods
could be appeased.
On this old institution the Hebrews
ingrafted their religious ideas and pro-
duced the unique institution of a day
observed as I respite from the weeks
toll, and which, from being an ''inaus-
picious occasion, a dies irae, is viewed
as a 'delight."-The Independent.

Personal Character.

The time will come when the rexami-
ner of candidate will ask first into the
personal and private character of the
teacher. High ideals are not secondary
to noble character. 1t is not the learning
that she has, nor the training that she
has, that makes the true teacher. II is
her personality. Many of the best teach
ers today never received a normal school
certificate that they had been thoroughly
grounded in the newest and most APP
proved methods. Their success lies in
the power of their own high character,
and their endeavor to promote through
love and sympathy the best possibilities
of the children under their charge. Pro-
fessional training is not to be disparaged.
1t is great power in itself, but it is not
the greatest nor the highest. t.-Alce

The Summer Normal

The Summer Normal School
which is to be held at Lincoln In
stitute will open June 10th, and
continue seven weeks. President
Clarke, of Lincoln Institute, has
sent out q number of catalogues
containing full information regard
ing the same. The following let
ter has beeen issued by State Sup
erintendent Darlington:
State of Missouri, Department of
Education, City of Jefferson, April
II, 1902. Pres. E. A. Clark,
Lincoln Institute:
Dear Slr:-I hope that you and
your faculty can arrange to conduct
a summer school at Lincoln Insti-
tute. These schools for teachers
have become a permanent feature
of our state educational work. 1t
is the desire of the present state
administration that the equipment
in all our state institutions be util-
lied for the benefit of the teacher.
The University and Normals have
had summer schools for some years
and it is now time for Lincoln In
stitute to offer like opportunity to
it's patrons and colored teachers.
There is no appropriation to pay
salaries of instructors this year,
but it is hoped the state may offer
free tuition for the summer term
next year.
Should you arrange for it, all
colored teachers who possibly can
do so, should take advantage of
this opportunity and thus show
that there is demand for it as a
permanent feature of the institu-
ton.
All grades that come within the
limitation of the conditions of ap-
proval as set forth on pages Al and
AZ of the official course of study
for institutes will be accepted by
county boards of education and the
State Superintendent in lieu of ex-
aminations.
Yours very respectfully,
w. T. Darlington,
