of these slips not pasted to the paint

A THlRTEEN-YEAR-OLD TEACHER.
He larruped One of his Pupils Who
Was Twice His Welqht.

The youngest pedagogue in MissGira,
and perhaps in the United States. Is
teaching country school near Gaittes-
vile. in the Ozark mountains. Ha Is
Glenn Harrison, aged 13 years. Gam
is the oldest son of Guy 7. Harrisca,
lawyer.
He completed the course of shady
of the Gainesville public schools In
March, 1902. The same month he took
the examination given candidates for
third grade teachers certificates in
Ozark county, making a good average
and securing a certificate. He coMtin-
ued to study, and just after he became
13 years old he took the examination
for a second grade certificate. This
time his average grade was
the highest made, being 90 per cent.
Mr.. Harrison believed his promising
son was too young to teach and re-
fused to let him accept several offers.
But one day when his father was ab-
sent attending court, Glenn took the
job of teacher of a rural district. the
directors of which came and offered
him the place. He began work befora
his father returned, and the later, find.
ing him SO ambitious, decided not to
interfere.
Glenn now has 20 pupils. The ma
jority are larger and older than he, but
he maintains a degree of discipline
which many older and more e1peri-
enced teachers may we'll envy. "How
are you getting along, Glenn?" asked
his mother one day, when he came
home at the end of weeks work. Il
had to whip several of the boys" the
youngster replied. 1t turned out that
among others he had larruped an OBJ
streperous youth that weighed 1870
pounds. Glenn doesn't weigh much
more than half that.-Kansas City

Chinese Bankers Put On Their Seals

AS everybody knows, Mexican col.

the Far East, especially in China and
the Philippines, where bankers send
large quantities of Mexican silver dol
lars every year.
year ago q reporter saw one of
the Mexican pesos that had been in
circulation in China for some time,
and was surprised to find it covered
with small Chinese characters, like as
many seals. This dollar was shown
to Liang Hsun, Chinese minister, who
explained the presence of the marks

can dollars, afrix to them their seals
to guarantee their legitimacy, and as
pesos circulate and go from one bank
to another they are being marked by
all the banks who receive them. In
case the peso proves to be Illegal, the
banker who sealed it last has to
change 1t for good money and with.
draw 1t from circulation.
When the pesos are completely
covered with seals they are sent back
to Mexico to be recoined, the expense
being paid by all the bankers whose
seals are seen on the coin. It is in
accordance with recent agreement.
But 1t often happens that dollars. al

accidents having similarity in certain
details, yet so different in results as
to be marked, occurred here Thurs

There were no other bruises upon her

the same hour, o. b. Wall was at
tackled by a comrade, with whom he
was having dispute. The assalant
drew an ugly knife and struck at his
heart. The aim was true and the
blow was hard, but the point of the
knife struck pencil in the vest pocket
of Wall, turned the blade aside, caus.
ing a glancing cut, which, though pain
full. is not dangerous. The pencil saved
his life.
