School Notes.

Although we have not appeared in
print for several weeks, still we have
been doing business at the same old
stand.
Our enrolment at the end of the first
month was l57 and has been increas
ing daily. Among our recent enroll
ments are Sidney Yantis, of Rice, Lee
Unkel, from southeast of town, Asa
Varrett, Omer and Claud Russell. OF
Welsh and Mable and Ralph TAYLOR,
of Lafayette.
Which foot does Cora Carr limp on:
Mrs. L. E. Robinson was an inter
ested and welcome visitor in room
three, Tuesday of this week. We wish
that more of the parents felt interest
enough in their children's education
to induce them to call and aid us by
their council and encouragement.
The pupils of the high school are
discovering that good recitations make
| few examinations and vice-versa
Poor recitations generally call for a
"quiz.'
Have you been asked what King
Edwards family name is? If so. what
was your answer?
We rejoice that the grass and weeds
are being cut from the walks leading
to the school house, so that it will
soon he possible to get to school
without becoming soaked by having
to force our way through the Jungle
of interlockins vegetation that has
hitherto covered the walks. Would
that our citizens were public spirited
enough to get out and cut the weeds
along their walks, so that their places
would not look like some poor widow S
place.
The girls met in room three Tuesday
at recess, to consider the reorgauiza.
ton of the Ladies' Gymnastic Club
ami while this was secret meeting,
(?) still we are given to understand
that the club is soon TO be reOrganized.

Henry F. Parker of Coventry, who was recently appointed a special fish and game protector by Game Warden George W, Eaton of Stafford Springs, was in this city yesterday afternoon to seek legal advice as to the possibility of the state reopening a case which was disposed of by Justice of the Peace Champlin of Holland. MT. Parker says that his community has been bothered intolerably by Sunday gunners. He decided to make some arrests and put a. stop to law break ing. A week ago Sunday he heard a gun shot in the woods, and found a young man with a gun and two squirrels. He took the gun and game and arrested the hunter. Hearing another shot, he traced that up and had another prisoner. Carrying the guns and game, he started back through the woods, when he heard another shot. Although somewhat handicapped by having two prisoners, he made them accompany him and started for the third, whom he got sight of, but was unable to overtake. He started for Holland with his pris- oners and took them to the home of E, s. Agard, who told him to get a grand juror to make out a writ. This he did, James Usher issuing the document. Then MT. Agard stated that he was disqualified from trying the case, as he assisted the grand juror in filling out the writ. They sent word for Justice Champlin to come and try the case, but he said he couldn't do so on Sunday. De- termined to have the matter disposed of MT. Parker took his prisoners aboard and drove to MT. Champlin's s home, getting him out of bed to try the cases. The men pleaded guilty to breaking the law by hunting on Sunday. Justice Champlin said he would give his decision on Friday. The next day MT. Parker drove to MT. Champlin's and asked him what his decision had been, and was astonished to learn from the judge that he con- sidered the law excessive, that the prisoners had been re arraigned, and had changed their plea to not guilty and he had discharged them. Game Protector Parker contends that under the law the men should have been fined not less than $10.-Hartfc I'd Courant.

THE KAREN WOMEN.

They Have Peculiar Ideas of Person. al Beauty and AdOrmmemt.
 Like the Siamese, the Karen wo- men are not good to look upon and do not improve their appearance any
 by the style of ornaments they affect. When very young their ears are pierced to admit small round stick, which is gradually lacerated in diam- eter until by the time the little girls have become women their ears easily accommodate a two inch disk of blackened bamboo. This stretches the ears hideously, as may be imagined, and when the ornament is laid aside emporarily-well, picture the thin strip of pendent ear lobe! AS a rule, the Karen women wear their hair long, but, like the Siamese, some cut 1t short and others again keep in crop ped close, except on top of the head, where it is allowed to grow to its nat ural length, which does not add to their by no means overabundance of good looks. Sometimes the unmarried woman wears breast cloth, but for the most part men and women wear loin girdle, and sometimes even that is set aside in hot weather.
 To thoroughly appreciate Japanese women one should begin the far east ern trip at the Malay peninsula, jour- neying thence through Siam, Anam, Cambodia and China, though I confess to preferring a good looking Chinese girl to the alleged Japanese beauty.
 Bracelets and necklaces of bamboo are the other usual ornaments, except when they can afford a narrow neck band of silver, which protects, so it is believed, against many evils that turk along life's wayside, even in the jun gle. The men also wear this neck band and bamboo an inch in diameter and about four inches long stuck through their ear lobes. Some of the boys are rather good looking. They wear their hair in knot like horn on the forehead or at one side or the other of the head or on top, and usual ly 8 turban crowns the topknot. All in all the Karens differ not a great deal from the Siamese in physiognomy, but the people in this section of the far east shade into one another rather easily.-Caspar Whitney in Outing.

'.aIaddenfnE Totted Phrases"

We have protested against the fault.
 less even dress" of the hurried descrip-
 tive writer, since evening dress is the
 only male attire that excludes the possi.
 bility of error. But a long list could
 be made of the phrases-tinned and stale-which all writers use who write
 like enterprising and hurried builders, building with ready made doors and window panes. For example, one never reads an account of a railway accident from the lips of the ''badly shaken passengea without finding that ''all went we'll until''-the thing happened. But perhaps the most maddening of these potted phrases is ''the rash act" You will read how Mir. Smith or Mir Brown sat down and wrote several long letters to his relatives, how he had with great care arranged his affairs how with the utmost Qeliberat tion he purchased poison, revolver, new razor and ball of twine; how he sent his family away for holiday, went to his room and conscientiously poisoned. strangled. sliced and shot himself. No reason" runs the inevitable comment, '1s assigned for the rash act" which was as deliberate as the movement or the Rhone @lacier.-London Chronicle

 "Oh, nothing up," said Robbins. '1'm just going round to the Clemenses to call-going to see if I can't get asked to dinner"
 The smile faded slowly from Jones' features.

As we are getting nearly 300, 1000 immigrants a year from Slavonic countries, and the Russian troubles will probably largely increase this immigration, we ought to look up Slavonic matters. The immigration question as a whole is now a very se- rious one, and is to be discussed by the national immigration convention, composed of delegates appointed by the governors of the different states, and to be held the 9th and 7th of next month in New York city. "Douma,' better transliterated duma, is an attempt to represent the Rus sian Dyma, a council, or in a looser sense, a deliberative assembly. AL lowing for increase since the last is- sued census, the population of Russia is estimated at 135 millions, more than three-fourths of whom can neither read nor write, and about the same ratio are peasants farmers. chiefly renters, living in small novels, on the coarsest food. The common ending of Russian family names is ov, ev, often written in English off. eff, as Trepoff. People of rank have vich, as etervich-Peterson. The Poles have wicz, the same in sound and meaning as vich and ski.

The town clerk at Wilmington has the names of nine persons who were candidates at the recent election and neglected to file statements of their election expenses, and he would like 70 know what he is to do with them. He sent the list to H. ". Neil, who was elected grand juror, but MT. Neil has not qualified as yet, and it is stated that he will not qualify. There is no grand juror in town to issue complaints and prosecute the cases against the delinquents. It is declared at Wilmington that there is no one there who will take the office with the knowledge that their first duty would be to bring criminal actions against friends and neigh bors.

The second annual meeting OF
the West Tennessee Fair has been
eminently successful and profitable
in every way, and it is worth say
ing that it is due in great meas
ure to the present management.
This year the meeting was pulled
off on time but under considerable
difficulties. In addition to the
diphtheria scare in Union City,
before the opening the disease had
already made its appearance in
many points over the county. Be-
sides this there has been more
general sickness throughout the
county, especially during the past
month, than has been known in
many years. Another very seri-
Gus hindrance lay in the fact that
the wheat crop this year was al
most total failure, the poorest
in the memory of the Oldest IN
habitant. These we're the draw
backs to successful meeting this
fall, hence we speak of the sue
cess Of the present management,
from the president down. The
receipts we're ample to meet all
demands and the enterprise takes
another step towards another and
greater fair.
