MISSOURI STATE NEwa


Considerable excitement was created

appearance Of a tarif schedule OF the
Terminal association and the Virgins
ferry, setting forth the rates on all
commodities usually shipped from the
large Wholesale houses At 3 cents a
hundred pounds. instead Of 2 cents, az
formerly. Within an hour after the
schedule had been received, the tele-
phones Of the Terminal and Virgins
ferry were kept busy with heated pro.
tests from business men, and W. +.
Saunder, secretary OF the Business
Mems league, was deputized TO inyesti-
gate. When the excitement died out,
and .he smoke cleared away, the voices

A Teachers Christmas.

Ed. Register:-Perhaps not in any
other profession than that of teach
ing, is one SO likely to fancy his
life a hard one indeed; certainly
from a financial point of view, it is
almost a failure. Notwithstand-
ing the many reverses incident to
the teachers life, there is occas
ionally a bright feature in con-
nection with the noble work of
training the mind and character of
his pupils. Such, at least, was the
case with the. writer when he
entered his schoolroom on Thurs
day before Xmas.
Promptly at $50 I entered the
room, and when l cast my eyes at
my desk, imagine my surprise to
see the desk nicely decorated with
cedar and fairly loaded with APP
pies, oranges, various kinds of
mixed nuts, popcorn and candy,
which had been placed there by
my kind hearted pupils. Another
pupil of my A class presented me
with a lovely card OIL which were
written the words, ga Merry
Christmas" with her name neatly
signed below.
Now, while l do not value the
presents so much for their real
value, | do certainly value them
for the spirit through which they
were given. In life's journey may
each Xmas always bring happi-
ness to those dear kind hearted
pupils, and may my work in teach
ing them be such that shall cause
them to have a higher and grander
ideal of life. In future years the
memory of the occasion will be an
oasis in my memory's tablet.
