j. II. LYLE, M. D.,
Dear Sir:-I thought I'd write you
line and tell you how nicely my
boys are getting along. You know
they had just had scarlet fever, when
you was here in Rockford, and they
began to use your medicine.
At that time, two years ago Fred,
my oldest boy was very sick. He
had been doctored for over year for
consumption, and then when he had
scarlet fever, it did seem as if he
must 60 in spite of all we could do.
1t was then that you came to
Rockford and we became acquainted
with you.
You seemed so sure that you could
help all of the children, even Freddie,
that | consented at last TO try your
medicine, and [ have never been
sorry | did. In less than month he
began to get better. He took the
medicine for or 4 months.
In fact the children all took it, and
they all have been much better ever
since. Freddie has not had serious
illness since that time, and is able to
60 to school every day now.
They were all subject to gatherings
inithe ears and after using the medi-
cine you gave me for that, it stopped
the gathering and this winter none OF
them, except the baby has had any
trouble with the earache.
Very resp ectfully,

Letter to F. r. Selie.
NEKOOSA, WIS.

Dear Sir: In making pastoral
visits. of course, you do not consider
yuur pleasure or comfort or ease: you go
where your people live. But you have
two sets Of feelings in going about
can't help tive all have. But you
especially have; for part of your
business is sympathy. Well-kept
lawns well-tilled fields, nice homes
and nice people, are cheerful to you,
as they are TO everyone. Tumble
down buildings, poor fences, men har-
raised by burdens too heavy for them,
overworked women. and dirty-faced
children, you may be strong to get on
with: but you would be more than
human to find inspiration in misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of
people: one paints, and the other
don't. Or, perhaps, the thrifty paint
will,
To paint we'll is to keep paint
sound. There are two ways to do it:
one is bound to paint often; the other
to use good paint.
1t costs about half as much to paint
Devoe as 10 paint lead and oil: for
Deyoe lasts twice as long and costs no
more-indeed it costs less, but not
much less.
The thrifty and comfortable have
the art Of using money more wisely.
How lucky they are. how happy.

what IN Records Don't show.

The records do not show what material
was used in the erection of the buildings
in the years 1878, 1881 and in 1869. probably
because there were not enough brick houses
constructed to make a good showing. In
1899 there was in the lot one baled straw
house, but whether 1t was constructed and
named in honor of Bill Nye and his 'Baled
Hay does not appear.
1t is believed by most all concerned
that the sod houses are on their last legs
and that in a few short years more they
will have disappeared. II not because of the
pride of a new generation that venerates
not the old, by legislative act, like tho
prairie dog. That the tendency Ii in this
direction was shown during the last legis-
lature when Mrs. Bowser. she of sod house
rather than NJ. Quad fame, sough to have
the state donate her 5000 to be used
in the construction of a sod house at the
Louisiana Purchase exposition. 1t was her
intention to make the upper story of this
house modern in every respect, that 1t
would show In a nut shell the growth and
progress of the state since the days of one
Napoleon. But the legislature would have
none of It. 1t was the general verdict that
Nebraska needed not a sod house at st.
Louis to tell the people what we used
to was"
Statistics on Teachers.
Last year there were $3.50 school teachers
employed, and of this number 7,767 were
females and 1852 males. which all goes to
show that II all the female teachers are
woman suffragists' bright and early some
of these mornings women will be voting
TO beat the band. In 1900 there were 7,4s1
female teachers and 2.o62 males welding the
rod. Just how mani of these female teach
ers were cousins and sisters-in-law of the
members of the school board Is not known.
This substitution of women for men in
the school room has occurred in ali the
states of the union and it's results have
been seriously considered by. many men of
prominence. The last report of the state
superintendent says there are few reports
in existence prior to 1870. either state or
national, that will furnish much informa-
ton on this question. The report of the
United States Commission of Education for
1S99-19O0 shows that in 1S70-1 the male
teachers were Al per cent of the entire
corps. In 1880 they were 4s. But during
Omaha daily bee., 1903-05-24

the next ten years the women began TO
come to the front. The report shows that
In those years the percentage Of male
teachers dropped 70 Si1k. and IN 1Ne-1e0o 10
30 per cent. In the North Atlantic division
now only lsh per cent are males; the South
Central division has n per cent males; the
North Central division has y per cent
males. To this division Nebraska belongs
and OF all the states in this division Ne
braska has the least per cent OF male
teachers, having dropped from So per cent
in 1SN-n to less than 10 per cent at the
present time. In 1899 and 1900 Nebraska
men teachers held the percentage up TO q.
but the crash came in 1901, when they
dropped Town three pegs.
Monopoly for the women.
And this little gathering Of statistics may
aford a theme for some sweet girl grsdu-
ate. for. 10, many men have bemoaned this
fact Of women teaching and thus COM
polling men to go to work. Prof. Hugo
Munsterberg In writing on the subject
said: The primary school today is ALSO
lutely m%onopolized by woman teachers and
In tho high school they have an over
whelming majority. The reason for this is
clear. since the woman does not have to
support a family, she can work for a
smaller salary. Female competition
must, II no halt is called, bring down sal
aries to a point from which the supporter
of a family must retreat" The professor
concludes his article by saying: There
was never before a nation that rave the
education Of the into the hands Of
tn lowest bidder"
The strange part Of this is that in the
schools of Nebraska, according to the last
report OF the state superintendent, there
were 19O.4 AZ male pupils and 1887 female
pupils. But Notwithstanding that a greater
number Of pupils are males, a rank out
slider could tell that Nebraska public
schools were In the hands of women. They
could tell It by a little Incident that hap
pened in Omaha. One bright, beautiful
warm morning last summer about thirty
male pupils of the High school strolled into
the school room wearing shirt waists and
defiant airs. The principal raised UP in his
mighty wrath and he drove from out the
temple these young men. but they came
back after frequent meetings and confer
ences and the shirt waists remained in
school. Whether the female teachers
chuckled in glee at this victory Of women's
wearing apparel is not recorded, but II Is
said the male teachers, the last OF a pass
ing race, have banded together to prevent
young men from wearing divided skirts.
Probably they will not succeed, for the
tendency among the fashionable young men
OF today is in that direction. And the
fashion plates show 1t.
