that the room should remain Just as it

Must Keep Their Promis es.

Barnum would have hard sailing
down in Mexico. The Latin races do
not have the love for humbugs that is
characteristic of Anglo-Saxons. If an
American is ''bilked'' he enjoys seeing
his neighbor go against the same game,
but that is not true of a Mexican. If a
man advertises an attraction and fails
to produce it exactly as advertised he
gets into serious trouble with Mexico.
Theatergoers insist on having all per-
formances up to specifications and go
out of their way to see the managers
punished who attempt to defraud the
public. The sphere of the press agent
is limited in that country. Many man
ayers who are not familiar with the
customs andllaws of Mexico have found
themselves behind the bars because
they posted paper picturing acts which
were not reproduced faithfully.-Chi-

Fine Bunch of Cattle.

J. HI. Bennett consigned two car

Chicago markets Sunday afternoon
that were the equal of any shipped
from this point for some time.
The bunch numbered thirty six
and their average weight was 1900
ALI were steers, corn fed, and the
prince of the herd was a magnificent
specimen of thoroughbred Short
horn, three years old, that tipped
the scales at 2,010 pounds.
Mr.. Bennett is practical feeder
and realized the top notch price in
the Chicago market Monday. He is
still feeding over hundred fine
steers on his farm that will be
ready for market in the spring.

Once upon time a young woman
who was an exception to her sex, went
fishing for compliments, and succeed.
ed in hooking and landing great many
of them.
She was told of her anna bility, in.
telligence, beauty and extreme mod
esty, all of which delighted her ex-
ceedingly. When she was told how
earnestly the young men courted her
good opinion, and how very jealous al
the young ladies were of her attractive
ness, her pleasure was beyond bounds

Could Relieve Some of Them.

An amusing story is told of New
England minister who often speaks in
behalf of a certain charity in which
he is greatly interested. He has a fine
voice and graphic way of telling in
cidents both humorous and pathetic,
SO that his hearers are often moved
to laughter or to tears"
At the close of one meeting at which
he had spoken with great effect, and a
large gain for the charity had been the
direct result, a little old lady ap-
preached the minister.
"Oh," she said, earnestly, 'I've been
so interested in hearing about those
poor, dear children! And I suppose a
great many of those stories you told
are really true, aren't they?"-

Have Had Their Day.

According to the best information
obtainable the male country teacher
will soon follow the buffalo
and the red man. He will exist in
romance and history only. Time
was when the male pedagogue ruled
supreme. Slowly but surely the
gentle schoolm'am has been driving
him out of the profession. It may
be a case Of the survival Of the
fttest, but there are many who are
not of that opinion. Even ardent
advocates of the new woman move
ment are not ready to admit that
the total elimination of the man be-
hind the speller is desirable. 1t
really seems to be case of the sur
vival of the cheapest. Men cannot
devote years to preparation for
teaching and then give their time
and services for pay that the aver
age hired man on the farm would
reject with scorn. 1t is not a wise
policy that the rural directors pur-
sue when they offer the man who
is to educate their children less than
they pay the other man who feeds
their hogs. Just why the teacher
should be the Parish among the
professional men is question that
is difficult to answer. But such is
the case, not merely here, but in
all parts of the United States as
well as in the old world. In conse-
quence young men Of ability and
ambition look upon teaching as a
mere makeshift and soon forsake
the school room for some other en-
ployment that promises better re-
turns. The ridiculously low sal
aries paid to teachers in many Sec
tons of the state must work an in
jury to the schools and positive
harm to the coming generations.
And of course the really good
women teachers cannot be kept
long in schools where the merest
pittance is grudgingly doled out by
directors.
