New England farm she had for a
neighbor a particularly unneighborly
old bachelor. One day. while the
threshers were at work on her wheat
crop. the winnowing-fan broke and
she sent over in great haste to bor-

ONE OF BROOKS PUPILS.
He Was Unjustly Punished but Forgive
the Ohense.

After his graduation from Har-
ward college Phillips Brooks be-
came a teacher in the Boston Latin
school. And here, on the very
threshold of his career, he met with
failure. So much has been expect
ed of him that his want of success
was naturally a, subject of much
comment at the time, and after he
had become a greater preacher his
early failure was still referred to
and sometimes was used to point a
moral.
1t was a turbulent class that
Philips Brooks had to teach. Be-
fore he took charge of it three
teachershad been driven away. The
one who followed Mr.. Brooks, to
ill out the year, confessed himself
so wearied by the frequent resort to
corporal punishment that he was
obliged to betake himself to the
mountains for the summer to re-
cuperate his strength. The boys
were certainly in fault, but the
blame was not wholly theirs, and
long since they may be supposed to
have repented of their mischief.
Phillips Brooks was then not yet
20 years old. little more than a boy.
Naturally, perhaps, be made mis-
takes. On one occasion, says his
biographer, he punished a boy who
committed no fault.
After Mr.. Brooks had become
bishop of Massachusetts,, as he,was
moving in his majestic dignity
across Boston Common, he met
this boy, then mature man oc-
cupying a post of trust and in
fluence. Neither man had forgot
ten the incident.
Looking down upon his old
pupil. the bishop made a certain
appeal for forgiveness. Tell me,
now," he said, that 1 did not
make a mistake and punish the
wrong boy"
Yes, you did make a mistake.
You punished the wrong boy"
was the answer, but l have miss
ed so many punishments that 1
deserved that l ought to be CRATE !
full for that one, which l did not |
deserve. YOUTHS Companion.

THE HERALD was quite late in
coming off rfie press last evening
so late that the four-man and the
Office devil held a consultation last
night to discuss the cause, which
they AGREED was the weight of the
editorial column, and it was decid-
ed that some ballast must be thrown
overheard. Hence the editorial
pencil pusher is taking a rest and
the war correspondents and local
space filters have full sway.

SILK WITHOUT
THE SILK WORN
Invention for Making Silk Directly from
the Mulberry Leaf.

Eagle Pass, Tex, Mr.. B. Leh.
man, a ranchman of Maverick
County, impressed with the very
simple digestive apparatus of the
silk worm, conceived the idea that
the elaborative process by which
the caterpillar converts mulberry
leaves into silk might be initiated
arti6cially and proceeded to expert
ment to that end. By macerating
the leaves of the white mulberry
and digesting the pulp in a liquid
chemically allied to the juices Sc
GREETED by the caterpillar, he claims
to have succeeded in producing a
viscous substance closely resem-
bling, if not identical, with that
found in the sericteria or silk Sc
GREETING glands of the worm just
before it enters the spinnerets in
the mouth. Mr.. Lehman is now
looking for a mechanical genius,
who can devise a method by which
the action of the spinnerets in
throwing out a double fibered
filament of silk may be initiated.
He believes if the process that he
has already far advanced be. COM
pleted the silk can be produced
almost as cheaply as cotton. Nat
urally Rockefeller fortune awaits
him and his mechanical partner
should he be found.
The white and black varieties of
of mulberry grow luxuriantly all
over West Texas and amateur ex-
periments have proven that the
leaves of both produce a fine grade
Of silk so far with the aid of the
silk worm. In this county the

worm, but of much importance in

From Small Branch.
When the business branch was added
to the high school system It was but
a small affair and occupied only the
third floor of the Franklin Building.
Since then wonders have been accom-
lished. as the 5000 graduates show.
Later the school was exiled TO the Min
er Building on Seventeenth Street. and
in 1895 il was again removed TO a
| building at First Street near G. This
was far from satisfactory TO those
who had the best interests OF the
school at heart, for the building was
manifcstly unsafe and had been vacat-
ed by the District officials FOR that
reason.
The school soon outgrew this. and adj
ditions were put on. but as the growth
still continued Congress was compelled
10 act and the result is the promised
new building I'm which the influence OF
