S. A. Bennettsville, S. c., says: "For

The scenic railroad of Iowa is said to
be the Cumberland branch of the Burl-
ington out of Creston. They call the
trains on tho line jag Specials because
their course is so devious. Drummers
get off on one side of Greenfield, sell
bill of goods and catch the train as it
winds up the hill on the other side. No
one thinks of tying his necktie on that
branch. If he lets it alone the train
will do it for him.

According to press dispatch from
Bellevue, Neb., three fishermen are
guarding with rifles 1850 barrels of whis-
key which are being recovered from the
bottom of the Missouri river near that
place. 1t is said that this booze deposit
has lain for half a century in the hold
of a wrecked steamboat, which was sunk
in 1852. After concealing the old boat
under covering Of mud and sand for
fifty-three years, the cratic old Mis-
souri, river has suddenly changed it's
course and has brought to light the
wreck Of the City of New Orleans, the
finest boat which ever piled the waters
of the lower Missouri. In the hold of
the wrecked vessel lie the 100 barrels of
whiskey-the oldest stock in the world
and worth at the very least 100000.

Mary elena, a Bohemian lady, had
quite an experience in visiting Lamont
last Wednesday. She cannot speak
English, and by some mistake in Chicago
she was sent to Lamont instead of
Lamont. BY the aid of those who
could understand her, Mr.. Siltz was
able to give her proper directions and
send her on her way to Lamont; and in
the afternoon about three o'clock he
received a telegram from Chicago
directing him to furnish her with
transportation to Lamont and also give
her five dollars in money. But she had
bought her ticket and gone.-Lamoni

relieved him. The train was stopped

how I try to handle my little folks,

or be able to give me one.
First, I do not try to have a per-
fectly quiet room. I want the chill
dren as happy and as unconscious as
possible in their work. / call it work.
Tt is their work, I tell them; that they
must work here just as faithfully as
father and mother work at their
places of business. They are no long
er babies if they are coming to
school am not a nurse-but we all
have work and we must do nor and
more each day; and when we are not
working, we must play just as hard
as we car. / make no rules against
talking, eating, etc., but / try to keep
them busy. and / give a few minutes
for talking and moving about be-
tween each recitation. If my chill
dren insist on talking or playing dur
ing work time, and they sometimes
do, why l tell them they may run
along out and play. They are usual
ly ashamed to do that, and get to
work. / try never to give a child
anything to do that he cannot do;
to give all my directions distinctly
and exactly; to praise every honest
effort, and never to accept any work
that isn't absolutely neat; because
the child doesn't want me to take any
but his best, and any one can do neat
work. I never say "don't" If / can
help it. / like to say "do." And

cuted command pass.
Of course in ungraded schools the
work will have to be planned well,

sons, her presentation of the subject
of Discipline will be received with
pleasure and profit.
Discipline in the primary grades
is based on the same principles, Sc
cured by the same methods, and pro-
duces the same result as discipline in
the high school.
1t is a vital part of the education
of the child, and the manner of its
enforcement through the primary
grades will materially affect, not only
the work in the higher grades, but
the character of the child; for the
only right discipline is that which
results in self-government, and no
teacher perfectly does his work who
fails to achieve this.
Parents and teachers look upon
this part of our work in a false
light. We regard it as a necessity
growing out of numbers. A teacher
must have order or she cannot teach,
and a good disciplinarian is one who
can keep children quiet. We do not
see that there is more educational
value in the discipline than there is
even in the reading and writing.
To me a well disciplined school of
any grade is one in which there is a
perfect friendship and understanding
between the teacher and the students.
a strong self-control ON the part of
each, a generous consideration for
others by all, the greatest possible
freedom, and absolute obedience; and
I believe that the best way to obtain
this condition i'm all of our schools
is to begin with the children of the
first grade.
The child's entrance into school is
his entrance into civic life. Let
him feel the responsibility and the
privilege of citizenship from the
very first. We will not use these
terms with him, but he will catch the
spirit and live up to it.
Little children can be reasoned
with, and should be reasoned with.
They understand far better than we
sometimes suppose. They have strong
