Keep 76e Child IN School
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

Keep the boys and girls in school. Not
to keep them out of mischief, but for the
real good obtained.
True. education doesn't make the man,
but the educated man can make his way
where AN uneducated man cannot.
Don't laugh at th@s1lseless Eatin'' and

child will never use"
1T is NOT WHAT THE CHILD RE
MEMBERS BUT WHAT HE LEARNS
TO DO that counts in the long run.
These studies which at first thought
seem useless are teaching the boys and girls
how to accomplish things. Algebra teaches
not only how to solve problem at mathe-
MATES, but it teaches the student that To
GET AT A THING IN THE RIGHT
WAY Is HALE THE VICTORY.
To be able to read quickly a sentence in
Latin teaches the child that he can do diff

HICKEY WAS
NOT DROWNED

Il am the man that they said was
drowned" said Captain Hickey of the
schooner Ella G. to The Times today.
Some bad weather and a scarcity of
fish delayed us" continued Captain
Hickey, but we were not in the least
danger and didn't have an accident of any
kind"
Sensational reports had been circulated
stating that the Ella G. had met disaster
off Cape Flattery and several of the crew
including the captain, had been lost. This
dramatic story turned into thin air when
the trim little craft came up the Sound to
Tacoma last night.
The Ella c. has fair catch of fish
The Annie NJ. Hero and Jennie F, Decker
also came in last night with fairly good
cargoes. Altogether they brought fish
enough to stock up the local markets and
have some left.
In Hackett Straits Captain Hickey
brought down the mail for them. The
catch of the fleet was reported to him
as follows:
Alice 7. Alger, $40; Zillah May, $50;
Dora Scinard 3d. Jessie &C. Otto, %;
Diana. 80. Evidently this has not been a
good season for the sealers.

insects. Insects do not breathe through
their heads. While in the larva or worm
form, their lung tissue. called the trachea

the skin. and the little spots seen along the
side of a worm are the breathing spores or
openings where the lung tissue comes near

THE KING DE CROPS.

| We of the South have long been &C., customed to regard cotton as king Of all agricultural products. and in some respects the claim is not a bad one. Its almost universal use, and the all most infinite variety of its uses. give 1t a prominence that can hardly be over-estimated, but 1t is not exactly the king of American crops. Wheat is the aristocratic grain of the> world and holds its head high, but it isn't king, either.
 The truth is that plain corn, maize. Indian corn. is king of the agricul- tural world of these United States. It goes into more homes. Is prepared in more ways, and is eaten by more hu- man and animal beings than any other eatable on the list, nor is this all or the most important feature. That lies in the fact that 1t brings more money to the farmers. than anything else grown on the continent. If the South could make a 12.O0O,O00 bale crop of cotton and sell 1t for $50 per bale, it~would bring a lot of money into the country, but this year's corn crop, even at 50. cents per bushel, would bring just about twice as many doI- lars as the big cotton crop indicated, at 10 cents per pound.
 The truth Is. the Indian corn of America is among mattress greatest blessings to humanity. When the first white man landed on our shores he found the red inhabitants. from Maine to the extreme limits of the continent. cultivating their native corn as one of the few products of their rude agricul- tural methods. They had 1t cooked ip various methods and every one was good. It was good to the taste, good for health, and good for their strength and endurance. It was their own grain, the Mondamin of the Algon- quins. and 1t Is no wonder that they felt for it a veneration that was felt for no other product, and that they worshipped 1t as one of the precious gifts from the Great Spirit. The green corn dances of our Southern In- dians. celebrated when the first ears of corn were ready for the pot, was one of the most important of all their saw age ceremonies.
 It Is a great surprise that our Amer ican corn should be so slow to obtain recognition and foothold in other lands. Of late years 1t is becoming more popular in the old world. but even yet 1t is largely regarded by the foreign people as only food for anil

titled to the suffrage. Moreover, the white people of the South are under going very considerable burdens of taxation In order to educate the ne- groes and thus qualify them for the political duties of citizens.
 What grieves the Republican poii- tictans and their organs is the utter failure to control and govern the. South by hurling its mass of Ignorant &egroes upon the bailot-box under the guidance of interruptions leaders maintained by official patronage. What they could not thus accomplish by setting up the blacks as a political element against the white people of the South they seek to attain by the arts of cajoIery They are very much distressed by what The Press calls the Isolation" of the South and it's want of response to "a great national uprising under a national im- pulse" To translate this cant into the plain vernacular the people of the South are told that 1t would be greatly to their material advantage if they would give up their opposition and submit themselves to the generous guidance and control of the Republican Party. Happily for the best interests of the country. the South is as likely to be seduced by caJolery and cant as by for mer menaces to It's political integrity.

TRIAL OF THE BENBOw!
Accidents Prevent Satisfactory Test of
 the AIFship.


 St. Louis, Nov. 22.-After remaining in the air for forty-five minutes, only for brief period of which 1t was pro- pelled by It's own power. the Montana Meteor" the airship designed and con structed by Thomas Benbow of Colum- bus, Montana, was brought safely to the ground in an open field three miles southeast of the Worlds Fair aero drome
 The airship was navitated by the in- ventor, who stated to a representative of the Associated Press after the flight that he considered 1t very successful in the light of the accident that happened to his machinery. A leak in the gaso- line, tank allowed all the fluid to es- cape, and rendered his motor useless shortly after he had started the flight.
 Benbow was also handicapped by having too much gas in his balloon, and 1t was necessary for him to allow some of the hydrogen to escape during the flight. For that reason he did not start the motor until he had drifted with the wind for nearly a mile.
 During the brief time that the mo- tor was working, the airship made headway against the wind and answer- ed it's rudder perfectly. Shortly after Benbow started his motor he found that the gasoline had become exhaust ed and allowed the Meteor to drift with the wind until he found a landing place.
 According to Benbow, he will make another flight tomorrow.

WORKING FOR MoNTGOMERY,


 All things seem to be working to- gether for Montgomery in these good closing days of the year. The good crops brought money and money brightens and forwards trade, encour- ages building and brings good times all around. The Commercial and In- dnstrial Association is earnestly en- gaged iu the laudable work of build ing up and advertising the city and its efforts cannot fail to produce grat- flying and permanent results. There is. hardly any limit to the good that can be accomplished for a city by the united and intelligent labors of public spirited citizens who are engaged in Q laudable effort to make their city great and prosperous. The advantages which can thus be secured are perma- nent and wiIl' remain as a monument to the foresight and civic pride and spirit of Montgomery's citizens lone after they shall have passed away. All the people of our city should assist this Association in all ways and let It's members feel that they are sus- tained ana encouraged by the best sen tlment of our good capital.
 Another influence whose good can hardly be over-estimated Is the Civic Improvement Society which the good women of Montgomery have organised and set in motion for the Iaudable pur- pose of beautifying the city. This is a work for which they are peculiarly fitted, and. as they rarely fail in any. thing they seriously undertake, we may be sure that there will be no failure in this. It is for the city authorities to give us good streets. good sidewalks and good government It Is for the architeets and builders to give us handsome and substantial buildings. and 1t is for others to give us trans- portation facilities. but after all these have done their duty there is a work which can only be well done through the pride and good taste of the women of Montgomery.
 IL is a great mistake to suppose that utility Is everything in this life. Af- ter all the solid work necessary to build up a great city is finished there is something lacking and that some- thing can only be supplied by the re- lined taste and combined efforts Of thoss to whom the beautiful Is always Rh iHsaiiration. Beautiful yards and wanxs and squares appeal to the best ana highest feelings of mans nature. and every citizen of Montgomery should feel 1t a matter of pride as well as duty to assist the ladies in &heir splendid undertaking. When all work in harmony and concert with defnite purpose in view there can be no such thins as failure and we will have a city to be proud of--a Greater Montgomery, in fact as well as in name.

NEWS.
 The Chicago Daily News Is one of the comparatively few Northern news papers which show a disposition to be fair in It's treatment of the South and the Southern people. It may be that this paper is better informed on South ern conditions than are most of I its contemporaries, for 1t has given con siderable study to the Subject. At least in it's comments 1t treats the sub ject far more intelligently than do most of it's contemporaries. In a recent edi- torial The Chicago News said:
 But the negro can only be injured bg political action in Washington seeking to change his status. He must surroundings Those politicians who mourn because he does not vote surely must realize that his vote, because of his ignorance and ohildishness, would of the vicious element of the city slums. A letter written within the last month by Northern man, stauneh Repub- lican, who owns a large plantation in Mississippi. asserted that the negroes were likely to bring on serious trouble in case Roosevelt was elected. because they commonly believed in his neigh borhood that Roosevelt would give them the property of the whites. If asked to take employment some. would de- cline, saying that after election day they would own everything"
 There is a great deal of truth in this. There are undoubtedly a great many negroes in the South who are ig- nOrant enough to have believed that Rcosevelt's election would have that result, just as there were a large number of negroes in the South who firmly believed that if Mir. W. J, Bryan was elected President in 1896 or 1900 the negroes would be put back into slavery Many of them openly pro- claimed this as their belief. It Is cas- fly seen that no good, and a great deal of harm, would result from these ne- groes voting. They are in no way qualified to vote, and as well known thing as an inherent right of suffrage; 1t is a right that must be acquired through proper qualifications.

mals. IL can hardly be doubted that many and large sections of Europe an0 Asia, as we'll as Africa would produce. paying crops of Indian corn. nor can 1t be doubted that growing this crop ex- tensively would do much to prevent the dreadful fanines that SO often depop- ulate some regions of the old world. but they are slow to give 1t a fair trial. All the same. 1t Is at the head of all money crops of the United States. If we can't make tt popular among outsiders we can grow is for our own use. and with 1t prepare some billions. of pounds of good meat for the table. Great is Mondamin. and fortu- nate are the people who practically control its growth. if other nations refuse to adopt 1t. or fan to realize it's wonderful value. 1t only leaves us SO much more wealth for our own farm CTS.
 Few people, even among the farmers themselves. realize the almost un- bounded possibilities of this crop, or the amount that can be grown. While there are many poor farms badly cul- tivated and unfertilized, where only few bushels are produced on an acre. there are others where high cultivation and proper fertilization produce 100 bushels end upwards to the acre. Just what Is possible as an average for the entire country no one cap tell. but 1t Is safe to say that the United States could supply the world with bread if called on, and if corn production could be carried to the limit of what the land will bear. Cotton is great but corn Is greater.
