PARKER AS A TEACHER.
Old Pupil Says Democratic Presiden-
tiaI Candidate Ruled Firmly.

Hilton Ryan. Il tall, broad ShouIdered
farmer of Cortland, y. Y. threw back
his fine head with Il laugh ami spoke
thus of Judge Alton 3. Parker. the
Democratic candidate for president.
says the New York American: Know
Alton Parker? Well, l guess so.
II went to school TO him the very
first term lie ever taught, way back
in the sixties. Let Inc see, 'GS or 90
it must have been. for lie want but
seventeen years Old. and lots Of us
boys were older and larger than he.
Il can just see that little old school
house now, with its seats ranged
around the wall gl three sides of the
room and the big, battered desks in
front of them Guiltlcss of any vestige
of paint. and cut and hacked by our
ever ready jackknivcs.
"A good teacher Well, l should
smile. The very best we ever had.
"You see, ours was a pretty tough
school, even for district school. way
back on the Virgil hills. We had been
in the habit of turning our teacher out
every winter and locking the door on
him. and when we heard that young
Parker had hired out to teach our
school that winter we thought we had
an easy job of il. sure enough.
but we didn't do it-nO. sir. After
that school had kept about Il week
we lost all desire TO turn him out. and,
let me tell you. ii would have gone
pretty rough with the fellow that had
proposed it.
you see, we all loved him-that was
all there was TO ii. He'd play ball
with us ont Of school hours. and there
want one OF us could begin to play as
well as lie could.
Yet he never lost our respect for
him. and when we entered the school
room we somehow felt that he was
master there. too, and the best thing
we could do would be to buckle in and
learn something. And we did learn,
you bet, 1t seemed rs If a new era in
our school dated from that winter
term, and more than one of us boys
felt then for the first time the begin
ming of Il desire to be somebody. That
has stayed with us all our lives,
though none of us are looking forward
to being president just yet"

And carameIs and drops:
AdolphUs did not cash begrudge
He sent her mutton chops!
James Henry sought TO knock his foe
And talked Of saving coin:
Adolphus was a crafty beau
He brought q tenderloin.

Each day with three square meals1
But still she could not quite decide
Which one she liked the most
James Henry spoke Of suicide;
Adolphus sent a roast.
At last James Henry came to call
And brought solitaire;
He said. Your finger is so small
But may 1 put this there?''
She filled James Henry with distress;
She said: That old style thing,
Adolphus got me TO say Yes
He brought beef bone ring"
