structors, and that their function in this taken public advantage of The humblest girl typewriter in business office Is ! teacher of manners, morals and habits of life there The knowledge that she has ac- quired of the proprieties and niceties of life is quickly communicated to the mere men about her, and all come under tho influence of it. from the proprietor down to the office boy. Perhaps what she teaches is not always the highest wisdom, but at all events she teaches it with such success that office manners have been quite transformed since her advent.
 In the character of their employment these public servants, the teachers and the caretakers of the infirm and unfortu- nate. have an immense advantage over all the other teachers, preachers, office holders and public representatives what soever in the fact that they are brought so close to the very life of the people.

DROVE DEAD HORSE NINE MILES

From The Washington Post.
 Major G. W. Lillie Pawanee BID was showing a party of customers his fine herd of bison at Pawanee, Okla. The talk turned from bison to stage coaching and many instances of wonderful driv- ing, some realistic and some hyperbolical, were related. Pawnee Bill laughed.
 There is a story, he said 'of one eyed Pete Mccoy. If this story Is true the four-in-hand drivers of the east inc Alfred Vanderbilts and James Hydes and Lorillard Ronaldses-are only practice ing A decayed and degenerate form or coaching. Before the next horse show they had better come out west and learn to drive.
 "One-eyed Pete drove Dakota stage coach that made a circuit of Deadwood' Carbonate. Spearfish and Bear Gulch. was notorious for his fast and daring yet skilful driving.
 ''They say that Pete tore into Carbon ate one day on his usual dead run. Like an avalanche the coach clattered up to the hotel door. There, suddenly, it stopped, and one of the horses fell stone dead.
 "A very sudden death, said by stander.
 Sudden? Not at all,' said one-eyed Pete That there hoss died at the top of the hill nine mile back, sir; but I want goin' to let him down till l got to the reglar stoppin' place.

these dreams will be dissipated when the votes are counted Little Mac wlll be his own successor.
 Scarcely of less interest is the con test over the office of district attor- ney William Travers Jerome, who has an excellent anti-graft record at first proposed to run as an independ- ent candidate. He had been discard ed by each of the big parties, but the republican nominee soon withdrew, and MT. Jerome takes his place on the republican ticket. The Tammany nom- inee is MT. Osborne, and he has ceased speaking. He did not help himself when he was on the stump, although he has a good record, having been MT. Jerome's assistant. The Hearst nom inee Is Clarence Shearn, who is MT. Hearst's personal lawyer. He has not much else in his record to commend him.
 Many democrats will vote for MT Jerome, and he may be elected. The chances incline that way. If, how ever, Mr. McClellan's plurality is heavy he will carry MT. Osborne through. If MT. Shearn should drop out, William Travers Jerome would probably gain votes, and in any event bis candidacy is growing in favor.
 The winners of next Tuesday may therefore easily be Mcclellan and Jer- ome. and New York will not be blt ashamed of either. Both are opposed to graftism in any form. be it in pub lie affairs. in insurance companies, or wherever else it may be discovered.

WHY CHILDREN ARE "eAD."
n the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Because the are hungry or thirsty.
 Because they have been allowed to over eat
 Because they have been given pernicious cheap sweets.
 Because they have not had proper sleep.
 Because their clothing is not comforta- ble.
 Because the room in which they sleep or play Is stuffy or ill-aired.
 Because their parents break promises to them and buy them off with bribes.
 Because they are brought up on a negative diet of continual No. no, no, . instead of an occasional good, hearty Yes"
 Because their activity is not directed into the right channel. Even babyhood child must be doing something and If it is not wisely directed Its energies will nnd outlet in 'naughtiness."

OZYMAND DiAS.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley. I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand In the desert. Near them on the the sand,
 Half sunk, a shattered vIsage lies. whose frown And wrinkled lip. and sheer of cold com- mand Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive. stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, king of kings; Look on my works ye Mighty, and de-
 spair
 Nothing beside remains Round the decay. Of the colossal wreck, boundless and
 bare. & The lone and level sands stretch fas away.''

Unidentified Confederate Flags.

The annual report of General Ans worth. who as military secretary to Secretary Taft, has charge of the Con federate records and flags at Wash ington, recommends that the unidenti- fled Confederate flags, numbering 2SS' be handed over to a memorial associa- tion at Richmond or New Orleans, or some other city to which many visitors go.
 The proposition is excellent, and it shows that the war department ad- mires the men engaged in the bravest struggle of modern times. It shows, too. that patriotism is now as wide as tue country, and that the government is to be administered for all, if not by all
 Congress should act up to the rec ommendation of General Ainsworth, and in the meanwhile the south, act ing through the United Confederate Veterans association, should decide where the unidentified Confederate flags can best be placed for safe keep ing and long preservation. The flags are but symbols, but they are very precious, for they stand for the hero ism and devotion and self-sacritice that will render the war memorable to the end of the republic.

S oW doth the poet warble sweetly O of autumn, of the changing for ests, the blue haze upon the streams and the surpassing witchery of Indian summer. Striking his harp, he sings of the cracking freight, of homely joys and the turky gobbler, fattening for his fate in a thousand barnyards. He pays tribute of poesy, garland of ten der thoughts to the days of summer that are past and to the poetic terrors of the storm king who is marshalling his forces and arming his cohorts with icicle spears. There is a touch of melancholy in the air, a certain reminiscent sadness that opes the springs of recollection and bids us take notice of Father Times rapid progress. These and multitude of other thoughts assan persons who cherish the divine afflatus but to mortals of coarser mould the onward march of winter is denoted by a reaching out after more bed cover, growing solicitude for the furnace and consideration of coal bills.
