FIRE AT KINDER LOU.
The Mill of the McRee Bros. Was
Destroyed.

Valdosta, Ca, Oct. 19.-News has
been received here of the burning Of the
mill Of McRee Brothers at Kinder Lou.
The fire was discovered about II o'clock
Saturday night by the night Waterman
and the mill and machinery were de-
stroyed before anything could be done
to check the progress of the fire. The
fire was first seen burning around the
planer, next to the railroad track and
that fact led to the belief that the mill
might have caught from sparks from
an engine which passed there rev
minutes before. The loss on the mill
was about $4,000, with no insurance.

ARRESTING DEsERTERs.
Adds Many an Extra Dollar to the
Earnings Of Policemen In
WashingtOn.

1t seldom happens that a week passes
without the police being asked to ar
rest deserters from the army or navy
Descriptive lists are received at head
quarters and are telephoned to the
several stations. These descriptions
are always to be relied upon and the
member of the force who makes spe-
cialty Of looking after such cases man
ages to earn few dollars in addition
to his salary, says the Washington
Star. Rewards are always offered in
such cases, and the police are allowed
to receive the money, minus 20 per
cent, which goes to the clothing fund
One day this week an arrest was made
and the prisoner admitted that he had
been absent from his ship for more
than two years. 1t appears that his
arrest had never been requested, and
the police officer who arrested him was
sadly disappointed. ..I
"Iears ago. said an old policeman
"there We're men on the force who did
very little duty except what time they
spent looking after deserters. It was
said Of one man that he always knew
where he could get deserter, and
that he made an arrest every time he
was in need of a few extra dollars.
cts surprising what chances desert.
ers will take after they leave. the serv.
ice," the policeman added. "Scores OF
them have come back to the city and
gone to the neighborhood of the navy
yard and marine barracks to live and
have spent years there before their
identity was discovered. Some of them
have even gone so far as to get good
paying positions under the govern
ment. It seems that a man who has
once been in the service cannot remain
away from the military atmosphere"
A deserter who was arrested lately
said he had been away from his ship
since January two. years ago, and was
surprised when the policeman arrested
him. He had a good idea who had given
the officer the information concerning
him, and said it was in his power to
have the man sent to Jail.
"You might have caught me long
ago." said the young man, "for I've
been in the city all the time, and have
lived in southeast Washington, where
I saw naval officers and privates in the
service every day. I know three police
men who are deserters, and there is a
deserter employed in the navy at this
time.
"Deserters are plentiful" he con-
cluded, "and if you want to arrest them
all you have to do is to go out and look
for them in this city"

The Best Way to Teach History.

The idea Of object teaching, the founda-
ton Of the Froebel system Of instruction,
has in recent years met with general accept
ance and adoption in almost every branch of
education, high and low, with resultant ben
eGts which are beyond question. Even such
subjects as grammer and arithmetic are
now taught in this way so far as practicable,
and witt marked ad vantage over the old
dry and abstract method. The practice Of
teaching history by making pilgrimages to
the very scenes where great historical events
have occurred is an application of the same
principle and much more valuable in the
way Of impressing the reality Of history upon
the minds of the young than any amount Of
mere textbook instruction could be. A re-
cent issue of the "Four.Track Series" pub
lished by the New York Central manage
ment, gives description of the historical
sites in the immediate vicinity of New York,
which will be of exceeding value for the
guidance of teachers and others who desire
to adopt this method of historical study.
One Of the best ways to develop civic pride
and promote good citizenship lies in this
very direction, an increase of knowledge of
local history being. accompanied with an in
crease Of interest in matters of local govern
ment and higher concern for what affects
the welfare and good name of the comnu-
nity.-From Leslie's Weekly.
