tive on. account of overwork of the
brain and overstrain on the system.
Some of the girls said that 'durin' the
last year of their school course they
had to sit up till IL o'clock every night
and study or else be docked. The ex-
aminer says that school work sent 'em
on the downward path of heart trouble,
tuberculosis, Bright's disease and other
troubles. It's shame that there is so
much grindin' in our antiquated school
methods. Lots of pinheads think that
thu more studies you can crowd onto
a pupil and the longer lessons they hav
to cram the faster they are pushin' 'em
a'ong. 1 tell you the health is of more
account than a leetle more or less larn-
in. When seven percent of the girls
turned out of trainin' schools hav be-
come incurably diseased from over
strain it's q condition that is awful ser
ious to contemplate. I don't wonder
that the girls from the country schools
retain their health so much better.
There ought to be some way of schem'
in courses of study and ways of in.
structin' that would develop the minds
without ruinin' and breakin down the
body. reckon that four hours of ligl
study day is all that any child under
fourteen should be loaded up with.

He Wasn't Ashamed.

A clerk and his country father enter
ed a Chicago restaurant Saturday even
ing, and took seats at a table where sat
a telegraph operator and a reporter.
The old man bowed his head and was
about to say grace, when a waiter flew
up, singing, II have beefsteak, oysters,
mutton chops, anything you wish"
Father and son gave their orders and
the former again bowed his head. The
young man turned the color Of blood
red beet, and touching his fathers arm,
exclaimed, in low nervous tone:
'Father, it isn't customary to do that
in restaurantsp'
cts customary with me to return
thanks to God wherever I am," said
the old man. :.
For the third time he bowed his head
and his son bowed his hea d, and the
operator paused in the act of carving his
beefsteak and bowed his head and the
journalist pushed back his fish balls
and bowed his head, and there was not
a single man who heard the short and
simple prayer that did not feel pro-
founder respect for the old farmer than
if he had been president of the United
States.

THE FOOLS VERDICT.

EAe Wlse Judgment That Was Deliv-
cred by Simple seyuy Jean.
here is story which has gone the
rounds OF tlRee and haaf centuries: 1t
has been credited to many writers, but
was first told BY Rabeaa1s: .<." -,
In Paris at roast meat cookery of
the Petit Chasta1et a certain hungry
porter was eating his boead and at the
same time shifting the reek and steam
from fat goose which was being
turned on a spit befoce a great fire,
thereby gaining savory accompaniment
to his dry ration.
He ate very slowly that he might en-
JOY the reeking, smoking SAVIOR as long
as possible, and when his penny loaf
had been consumed he attempted to de-
part. But the cook was not Of that
mind. The master Of the shop laid
hold upon him by the gocget, demand
ing pay for the smoke and steam of
the roast goose. The porter demurred
The cook claimed that portion Of the
meal had clearly been made from the
SAVIOR shifted up and swallowed.
1t CHANGED while the discussion was
going on that Seyny Jean, the fool
entered the shop, and the matter was
referred to him.
'Wilt thou submit to the Judgment
Of this good citizen?' asked the cook.
AYE, by the blood Of the goose, that
WILL" answered the porter.
The story was then told and the case
argued. The fool listened attentively
and in the end he asked the porter tc
let him take two pieces Of his money
The poor man drew from his fob two
pieces Of copper. Seyny Jean took
them and jingled them awhile between
his two hands and then gave them
back whence he adreceived them. Their
to the cook he said: The porter die
smell of thy goose. and thou hast heard
the jingle of his money. Thou hast
thy goose intact, he hath his money, as
seemeth to me right and proper And
now this court doth decree further
that every one go about his own busi
| ness lest we have too many fools
among u.s.

Will Try to Defeat Roosevelt.

It is stated that F. @. Barstow,
director of the Standard Oil company,
admitted in New Y York last week that
the company had ordered general
suspension of work throughout nearly
the entire oil region of West Virginia
and transfer of the employees to other
states.
The section affected is the portion
where nearly. the entire Republican
vote is cast.
-fourths of the men employed
there by the Standard Oil company are
estimated by local politicians of West
Virginia to be Republicans. For the
next few months they will be sent to
Ohio and Pennsylvania, where there is
already surplus of Republican voters.
This action on the part Of the Stand
ard Oil company is supposedly its first
step toward carrying out the threat
against President Roosevelt, made by
a. H. Rogers, representing the Rookie
feller octopus, that the president must
not enforce the law against the cor
poration, or else suffer defeat in
November. The presidents answer
was direct and positive. He replied
that he would not ignore the laws of
the United States to save all the trusts
! in the country, or something to that
effect.
The Immediate effect of the order
will be temporarily to paralyze prosper
ity in West Virginia.
The men employed by the Standard
Oil in that region are devoted to what
is known as 'swild- eating, or prospect
ing. They go about the country in
gangs, making geological surveys and
bore for OIL
They carry an immense amount OF
bulky equipment in the way Of machin-
cry, drills, etc.. Farmers and local mer-
chants sell them their supplies.
The sound of the drill will be hushed
until after election, and the Democrat
| ic orators will point to the depression
and say that Republican administra-
tion is the cause and their opponents
must admit that the charge is true. Y

Practical Side OF. Common School
r.: 3: Training. --

ID.
- b.: ) Training. ~-
Mr.. S. L. Heeter, the newly elected
supervisor of the primary and inter-
mediate grades in the Minneapolis pub
lie schools, lays down platform that
is truly refreshing, and is rich in prom
Use Of better school training withal.
He believes there is mental training
in the memorization of the multiplica-
ton table and that one may learn to-
spell by committing to memory the let
ters of a word in their order. -
He is an advocate of rapid work and
short cuts in arithmetic, and considers
practice more important than theory.
He would have the pupils in the public
schools we'll grounded in knowledge
that will be useful to them in after life;
not burdened with things that they
must "learn over"
In the memorization of the multipli-
cation table OF the spelling lesson one
receives mental discipline and prac-
tical knowledge at the same time. AS
Mr.. Heeter says, tradition and con-
servatism have held on to some of the
useless subjects, such as compound
proportion, cube root, complex frac-
tions, etc., for the sake of mental dis
cipline, but "just as much disciplinary
training can be secured from subjects
that touch practical life"
The principles advocated by Mr..
Heeter will appeal to parents who take
a practical view of common school
training and to all who regard the sub
stance as of more Importance than the
shadow. Pedagogy is returning to- the
practical, after some lofty flights into
the theoretical and in the universities
as we'll as in the public schools more
and more Importance is attached to
the building mp in the memory of a
foundation of facts.-Minneapolis

How Cossacks Catch Fish.

The Cossacks on some of the rivers
In Russia have singular method of
catching the finny tribe in winter.
They cut long trench across a river
when frozen and run net from one
bank to the other; then riding several
miles up the stream they form line
across the frozen surface and gallop
their horses down towards the nets.
The fish, hearing the noise and clatter
of hoofs become frightened, dart in
the opposite direction and are thus
entargled in the net.
