FEATURES OF EDUCATION.
How the Exhibit at St. Louis Will Be
 Distinctive From That at Any Other Centennial.
By CLAUDE H. WETMORE.

Education finds more recognition in he Louisiana Purchase Exposition than in any previous centennial celebration. It is the keynote of the great enter prise, permeating every display. More over, the idea in it's abstract has home of it's own, in that for the first time in history the appliances of school life are shown in building constructed ex- clusiyely for this purpose.
 At Chicago and at Paris this exhibit was made a department of something else. At St. Louis it is seen alone. housed i'll a palace which many con- sider the most perfect architecturally of any on the grounds
 Besides, in the classification of ex- hibits education leads all others, taking rank over fine arts, manufacture and all the industries.
 In remarking these facts visitors have added that it was strange such promi- hence had not been given to education before, and they are loud in their praise of those who have carried the idea so prominently to the front
 In St. Louis the revealment of process will be carried out in the Palace of Edu- cation as well as in the other palaces. Formerly it was deemed sufficient to arrange in booths samples of text books and of apparatus of the laboratory and observatory. Appliances used in the schoolroom were displayed convention ally, and visitors could pass through aisle after aisle and view only the technicalities of the world of instruc- ton. As result the pedagogue only was interested.
 In St. Louis. however. there is to be actual demonstration of the use made of all such appliances, and the multi tude will find itself entertained Thus the model training school will be creature of life-boys to be seen using the tools of the various trades. Pupils of school for the blind will demon, strate the methods in vogue where tho

After taking a few doses felt relieved, and soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not been sick a day since.

MANY of the rich ard success ful men of the country were born and raised on the farm. They all tell. the young men to stay on the farm, but they themselves couldn't be coaxed eI driven so give up the city comforts, t. take their own advice and gos back to hard farm work. kt appears to be a good training school. but as life- work the majority of the young men desire something more remunerative and easier. We expect, if the truth. were known. these successful politi- aians and merchants were but ~poor sticks" as farmers.

THE suit of Polk county against

THE suit of Polk county against ex Treasurer Davis and ex- Col lector Johnson for S15,0O0 has been compromised, the bondsmen paying the sum. of S6,40O. The main reason ascribed by the county court for accepting this compromise with the bondsmen is the endless litigation that would follow an attempt to collect the shortages iE full. It ~has been figured out that should the county gain judgement in ev-
 cry instance it would be at least 1922 before the defendants would
 be at the end of their legal rope.

HON. KEMP ToNEY who will represent Jefferson county in the upper branch of the next general assembly, will be the youngest member of that body, being only 27 years of age. MT. Toney has served three terms in the lower house, being first elected when 21 years of age. Hon. A. H. Rowell, democratic nominee for representative from Jefferson, is but 23 years of age. The voters of Jefferson evidently believe in putting the young men to the front.

THE democrats couldn't do better than to nominate Grover Cleveland. He has more friends in the party than any other man, and all know what he stands for. He is always outspoken enough to remove all doubt about his views on national questions. The last time he was president the country suffered with aperiod a of depres- sion that almost knocked the bot tom out every industry except that of soup making, but he ought not to be blamed for that. The lean years were then due.
