The old fable Of the siren has its
duplicate in One of the most deadly Of
modern weapons. The whistle Of a
bullet ought to be a deadly sound; it
is surprising to be told that it is a
beautiful one. Mr.. III. f. Provost Bat
tersby says in his South African notes
called "In the Web of a War"
The Mauser's most melodious period
is from 800 to $4,000 yards. Over that
distance its note is the most exquisitely
lovely Of single sounds. THE silky
breath Of the Mauser' is a phrase that
adequately describes it.
But there is something more about it
than it's beauty, something strange and
baleful. 1t goes by like the singing of
a wondering soul that ear find rest on
ly by bringing death to another. 1t is
a signing SO indescribably tender and
sad and sweet that every sound Of hu-
man lips seems without charm beside
it.
After lying for a time under that
silky breath, n has eve to resist a
desire to lift his head and take the
next puff of it in his face.

JOka1'R Joke.

At a banquet held in his honor in the
town of Torda, Maurus Jokai, the Hun
garian writer, was called upon to pro-
pose the toast Of The Ladies'" He
made an excellent speech, during which
he continually toyed with the brown
curls upon his forehead. Finally he
said: II raise my glass in honor Of the
gracious ladies of Torda. May they all
live until my hair grows gray" His
audience drank to the toast, but it was
easy to see by the faces of the ladies
present that they did not think much
Of the compliment. Jokai rose again
from his seat and took from his head
a magnificent brown wig. showing an
entirely bald head beneath it. my
hair" he added, will never grow
gray" And the ladies, who had not
known of his badness, were more thar
pacitied.

Two Headed Symbols.

Both Russia and Germany display
two headed eagles On their standards.
Yet this symbol is considered by some
heralds to be merely the result Of the
heraldic practice of Intimidation" This
was simply a child's way of impaling
two coats of arms on the same shield
by the primitive method of cutting
each in half and taking the dexter half
Of M and the sinister half of the other
and placing them back to back, as it
were. Strange two headed beasts nat
urally resulted, as, for instance, when
a lion and an eagle We're halved and
Joined together. The griffin is sup
posed to have been evolved from two
lions rampant by dimidiatiOn. 1t robs
the two headed eagle of half its ter
rors to know that it owes its origin
to this sort Of child's play.

From County superintendent

Mllbank, August l, l9O4.
To the School officers of Grant county,
South Dakota.
Gentlemen
There are a few things in reference
to contracting with teachers for the
present year, that l wish to call your
attention to.
At their meeting last winter a
majority of all the school officers in
the county voted to pay the following
salaries to teachers according to the
certificate held, as follows: Inexperi-
enced teachers, and teachers who hold
third grade certificates which IRE valid
only till the next teachers examina-
ton, are to be paid $50 per month;
experienced teachers who hold a third
grade certificate, valid for one year,
are to be paid $35 per month; teachers
holding second grade certificates are
to be paid from $40 to $50 per month,
according to the teacher, size of the
school, etc.: while teachers holding
first grade certificates are to be paid
from $45 to $50 per month, according
to the teacher, size of school, etc.
Heretofore there has been compar.
atively little difference in the salaries
paid the poorest and the best teachers
in the county; consequently there was
little incentive for teachers to improve
themselves in their profession. 1t is
believed that if all school boards in
the county will pay the salaries as
stated above, it will have a tendency
to improve our teachers by Offering
much better pay to the experienced
and better educated teachers.
Hereafter all third grade certificates
will be valid only in a given district
named in the certificate. Our school
law requires this limitation to be
written in all third grade certificates.
Most teachers who are qualified to
hold only the third grade certificate,
are not competent to teach seventh
and eighth grade pupils. For this
reason teachers holding third grade
certificates should not be permitted to
take charge of schools having seventh
and eight grade pupils. 1t is only by
cooperation between school officers
and superintendent in this important
matter that better teachers can be
secured for the schools of the county.
1t is suggested that before making
a final contract with a teacher, school
officers see her certificate, and not
allow any teacher to take charge Of
any school which her certificate does
not allow her to teach.
Where the same teacher is engaged
to teach the entire term of six, seven,
or eight months, it is necessary for
her to make only one report at the
end of the term, even though a vaca-
ton of one or more weeks may be had
between the parts of the term.
Respectfully yours,
A. S. RABERGE.

CONTEST
The Minneapolis Tribune's Offer
of 1904


Nothing like the prizes which
the Minneapolis Tribune is now
offering has ever before been
offered by a newspaper. 1t IS a
great voting contest IN which two
automobiles, two $3.50 pianos,
and 104 round trips to the ST.
Louis exposition will be given to
the 50 most popular women in
the northwest. The Tribune has
divided off the territory IN the
different states SO that South
Dakota will have seven of these
prizes. The lucky women who
secure these prizes will have all
their expenses to St. Louis and
return and at the fair paid for
them. There will undoubtedly
be some contestants from this
part of the state, and nomina-
tons should be sent in at once.
