Sometimes little George feels that he has
been bad and ought to have spanking.
He should not be deprived Of it by peda-
gogical theories. 1t is his natural right.

Kansas teachers are up in arms against
a rule now being adopted by school boards
on the recommendation of the state board
of education, forbidding ''courting by
teachers during school termss Harvey
county teachers, at the close OF the nor
NAL institute, adopted the following reso-
buttons:
| Whereas, Our fathers came to Kansas in pur
| suancc of high and holy desire to establish the
institutions of freedom and equality Kansas
! soil and did heroic service in the dark and
bloody days of the border to establish constt-
tutfonal liberty in this state; therefore, be 1t
| Resolved, That we view with alarm the ten
| dency of school boards in certain parts OF KAN
| sas to adopt harsh and oppressive measures in
restriction Of our sacred and inalienable rights;
that to submit to such tyranny would prove VI
to be unworthy children of such noble parentage;
| that larger percentage of teachers being
marriageable, we urge upon all the necessity of
| vigorous ana unceasing rebellion against this
attempt to deprive us of right to court and
| be courted.
| We would like to know how the school
board is going to get wise to the fact,
| If teacher Is courted. Our remembrance
! is that when one twin brother Rugged
| teacher once, he didn't hire a band to
explode and then perform the sacred rite
on the band stand in the presence of the
populace. Nay! Far otherwise
George has cut them off. The Glidden.
Iowa, Graphic lets the secret out in this
| public manner:
George Halsted is shorn of that luxuriant
| growth of whiskers that has adorned the lower
hemisphere Of his countenance for the past year
or more. We never could see why George
felt called upon to the serenity of his clas-
| sic features with those populistic appendages
anyway. They were fine set of whiskers.
but their former abiding place looks better with
| them in the waste basket.
The microbe now looks George over in
a perplexed way and finally steps over
and pastures on the dog. Cut 'em off,
everybody.
! A new invention and one that has great
possibilities in the way of peace and quiet
ness is the cat torpedo. Doubtless you
! have in the past if you think a moment,
detected by ear what Is sometimes vul-
carly called cat fight The animals
usually disagree during the hours man.
| kind deVotes to slumber, and the cat
fight is calculated by an overruling provi-
/ dence to interfere with the full gratif1ca-
ton of this simple pleasure. The cat
| torpedoes are made to explode easily.
They will go off with a sharp report, even
If they hit a clothes line or land on q
grass plot. You are way behind the times
/ if you throw your bootjack at the cats
They do not mind those old-fashioned
missiles, but if you drop torpedo out
of your window you will be rid of the
4 song of the most hardened cat in no time
at all.
A good, vigorous torpedo exploded with
in few feet of cat fight is calculated
to jar a cats life nearly out of her. Il
takes all the nerve, chic, abandong, i'm.
