Four HIsh School Boys

Goethe said. what greater
thing i'm life can man achieve
than that God-nature be re-
vealed to him." Truly, and
this brings US Esup against" the
proposition, What is education?
Yesterday four male mem
bers of our high school, who
know all about X alb ETC.,
etc. ad nauseum, drove to the
| first station east to see the
animals. The feed stables be-
ing all full, they tied their
team to posts in the outskirts
of the village and proceeded to
take in the festivities, RECALLING
themselves at various and
'sun-dry" intervals with red
lemonade, pop, ETC., and FORGOT
to water their HORSES all day
long. Now what do you think
of that for education? It's a
sad commentary upon the civ
.|ilizing influence of our institu :
tons; it's a reflection on the
teachings of their Sabbath
school and the impressions they
receive at home. Every par
ent of these boys ought to be
heartily ashamed of such for
Igetfulness of mans best friend,
without whom how many
would have been at home yes
terday instead of enjoying
themselves at the ball game ?
If there was any one thing
that the meek and lowly MAJ
arene tried to pound into the
world, it was altruism, the
browning act of his earthly ex-
istence being a supreme ex-
emplification thereof; then,
why do we, pretending to fol-
low Gin His steps" impersonate
the hog so frequently, thinking
of none other but self? Moth
ling here is meant to reflect
upon our public schools, for we
have a city superintendent who
ranks with the best in the
country, and some excellent
teachers under him, nor upon
the personnel of the Sabbath
school which is good, but, as
Lawson says, cts the system
that's to blame" More of ma
ture ought to be taught, in the
secular schools, at the Sabbath
school and at home. After all,
what is more beautiful than to
edo your work we'll and be
kind" Bergh.

Here is a Nebraska editor
who gives a beautiful illustra-
ton of contentment. The York,
Neb., Times editor writes at
length, but the keynote of his
story is the following: "In all
the long history of the world,
from the time Adam and Eve
were dividing the government
of Paradise to the present day
there has never been so sue
cessful, so benign, so honest, so
good a government as the one
we live under. 1t is a success.
It does all that government can
or should do for the people and
nothing it should not do" And
he is only a postmaster and his
brother and partner only a
state Judge. Great Scott !! has
the man no voice?

The 0ualls We're Hatched.

Red Oak Sun.
Mention was made a few
weeks ago of w. D. Gray, a far
mer near Essex, who accidently
killed a setting quail while NOW
ing weeds. He took the 10 quail
eggs and placed them under a
bantam hen that was trying
to set. Every one of the eggs
Matched out a few days ago and
the hen is more than busy with
her numerous brood. Several
of the young quails, when they
grew pretty strong, heard the
"call of the wild" and flew away,
but the very earnest clucking
of the hen brought them back,
and since that time a woven
wire enclosure has been built to
retain them.

People Are Panic-stricken and Wild

St. Petersburg, Oct. 30.--While the
day passed quietly, without bloodshed
in the Russian capital, and while the
city is outwardly calm, today S develop
ments all indicate that crisis is immi-
nent. Although the streets are filed
with troops and reinforcements are now
pouring in, the government seems ut
terly powerless to cope with the situa-
ton, and many calm observers seem
seriously to believe that the present
regime is tottering to its fall.
The situation cannot be exaggerated.
With the present indecision of the EN-
peror, the government has neither a
head nor a policy to meet the crisis.
and things seem to be drifting toward
anarchy. The revolutionists openly
declare that the government has ceased
to exist and that nothing remains to
His Majesty except to abdicate.
The people are extremely nervous
and bordering on panic, and are easy
victims of every sensational rumor.
Among countless baseless reports which
are received with credence today were
that the Emperor had embarked on a

Trepoff had been killed by bomb, and

them Mrs. Glennor and Mabel.
There was a forlorn-looking station,

Perhaps it will be here yet, mam-

Can you tell me whether Mr.. Ham

"Yes'm-no'm-I don't know there

incoherent answer.

Mrs. Glennor gave him the tickets
for their trunks, and the ready coach
man soon had them piled in the light
cart which had followed the carriage.
Now we are ready" declared Mrs.
Glennor. But the coachman appeared
to be looking for some one else.
"Our young Miss Henrietta went up
to town yesterday. We expected her
back by this train"
"Here am, Sam!'" called a familiar
voice from the door of the ladies'
waiting room; and the homely young
lady in plain linen, who had shared
Mabel's seat, came out of her retreat
inside and approached them.
my goodness, was Mrs. Glennor's
dismayed ejaculation, as she flushed up
to the roots of her hair.
But Mabel sprang forward with ex-
tended hand.

"And you are Miss Glennor! l am

This prompt courtesy, so delicately
ignoring her own rude behavior in the
train, was a greater rebuke to Mrs
Glennor than any show of anger could
have been.
For once her ready tongue was at a
loss and she only followed her young
hostess to the carriage, silently and
with flushed face.
But Henrietta's kindly spirit soon
put her at her ease, except when she
remembered her mortifying blunder.
