Hale at Ninetv

Judge Chas. Field Of Athol Mass. is the oldest mem
Der of the bar in New England and the Oldest judge in the
United States who exercising full judicial
functions Although 80 years DID, Judge Field sits on his
court bench almost every day.
At day when begin to lose their usefulness at So
retire from occupation at 60 and die of old age at TO- the
spectacle of of 80 in full vgor and still hard at
work seems to call for extraordinary explanation. But
Judge Fields explanation is very commonplace He has
lived simply and worked constantly when he was not play
ing.
1t seems a very simple explanation indeed Anybody
could do the same But mighty few do
Most of us live as hight will permit and
work when we have to.
Lots of us live higher than justify and
ourselves out with worry at the brink of the financial
chasm Lots of eat lobster and drink champagne when
both pocketbook and stomach call for mush and milk.
We may put on swell front and fool society; may
even fool ourselves; but we can't fool nature.
Old Dame Nature is very obligng She will let you
drive nails in your coffin fast you wish and
to smile oleranty your enjoyment of the opera
ton But she doesn't nap and she gets softheared
The minute you have finished your coffin making, she will
see to it that you, too, ready for the funeral.
This hale and hearty old Judge of 80 has not only lived
simply, but worked constantly when not at play. 1t takes
longer to out than to rust ont.
There people too indoent to be heathy-literally
too lazy to live Work with brains and hands puts in
touch with people, keeps the fire of enthusiasm burning
under the boilers of energies WERE and binds
to life by thousand-and-one ndeinable but powerful
ties.
If you idle your mind will conure up troubles and
melancholy that miasma to the SOUL
long life is necessarily bright cheerful There
is nothing insane and detrimental to mind and health
the conversation of people their aches and pains
Long life is not merely matter of years Life is like
day-t may be sunny and glowing until the come
timdly to wade in the shadows Of the night.
Or the day may darken down with clouds and die away
in midafternoon.

The Rod Is Again Barred

The question of whipping unruy school children came
up again in New York City the other day. 1t hobs up
about once year
There plenty of men teachers who believed that
physical force should play part in education In fact
SO out of each 100 men principals voted that way.
They have had much to bear. They have in
tact with scores of unruly young graduates of
the streetswho, it seemed to Them needed to be licked
out of their juvenile boots in order to make them realize
that there is such thing authority.
But the women teachers would have of it. They,
too have met the unruy-the lads with defiant eyes and
sneerng lips and Unborn hatred for anything that smacked
of correction and a curtailing of liberty.
There are some mighty tough boys in New York City,
And yet these teachers have advanced the schools and
helped them to and progress for 81 years without the
aid of the rod have subdued unlikely specimens by the
arts that only teachers know; have taken rugged
and unpromising material and turned out strong young
men, AND ALL WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
They asked that the lash be kept out of the Schools and
it is to be kept out.
Yes, the temptation to fog is strong at times. Every
teacher has found pupils who seemed to resist argu
ment, kindness and affection-and to need force
Well, let the parents do the job, if must be done.
That is the New York method, and it works out.

Every statement Lucas makes

latest contradiction OF former truth

says Secretary Farrell returned the
protection money paid in by the p. N.

Prior to this statement Lucas in
sisted that there was no money paid
in by the p. n. L. and that the only
money paid was $500 on his personal

The worst that Lucas can do is to
stir up trouble for the directors of
the z. N. L. He can not put in a
fully equipped league. He can not
prevent the Pacific National league
from playing ball any more than he
could prevent the directors from
| throwing him out as president, or
prevent them from electing another
president w. d. Richel.
But he is still declaring that it was
'hisself'' and not John ]. McCloskey
who made good ball in the Z. N. L..
territory Everybody, but Lucas, will
admit that it was Honest John who
gave the circuit a standing as a
baseball venture. Everybody, too,
who knows the inside facts. will say
that it was Lucas who tore down
what McCloskey had such hard work
to build up.
There is not a town within the
limits of the Pacific National league
in which Lucas can secure the sup
port of the fans-or even a half
hearted support from the sporting
writer's.
Yet every sporting editor in the
| circuit would write his block off for
John McCloskey-if he was away

An Immense Fall of Rain With
Heavy Wind Visits the
ri3yy

After several days of very warm
weather and after starting bright and
warm, Monday produced one of the
heaviest rain storms we have had in a
long time. The accompanying wind
was severe for this part of the country,
although nothing serious to crops or
property. The storm came so suddenly
that many feared that at last we were
to have cyclone. The rain fall for
half an hour was terrific. When the
storm subsided, it developed that the
two smokestacks at the paper mill had
blown over, many outhouses had been
disturbed, the rear porch of the Fill
PEEK building had again been displaced
and some loose personal property in the
way of barrels, washtubs, etc., had
gone visiting.
Otherwise there is nothing serious to
chronicle, save an occasional strip Of
timber was more or less damaged.
To the eastward there was but little
rain and reports north of town indicate
but mild storm.
On the following morning the streets
of Ladysmith were as dry as if there
had been no storm.

TALK ABOUT SEWERS
People Discuss 1t as a Matter of
Futufa Interest and Early
Necessity.

The necessary expenses incident To
the establishment of new town, make
it essential to avoid as long as possible
certain improvements that sooner or
later must come. One of these i'm
PROV Hements is that of sewerage. The
time comes in the experience of every
city when this advance step must be
taken: 1t usually involves a great deal
of contention and has come to be under
stood to be the greatest bone Of con-
tention in the history of growing city.
Nevertheless the time comes when the
situation must be met. In every case
there are those who are in a hurry In
| this matter and there are those who
are never ready for it.
The method prevailing as to payment
for such improvement is an important
matter. The News is not informed
upon the subject and it has not to any
extent investigated the feeling of the
public upon the subject. But we have
been requested to place this matter
before the public.
1t is argued that drainage Of the
business district is necessity that the.
whole people are interested in. Base
ments have been filled with water to
the annoyance and loss of the business
concerns.
In some instances pools of water are
unpleasantness during seasons of the
year. And unless attention is given
to them will be meuace to health.
Ags:f9 it is argued that sanitary con-
ditionS would be greatly enhanced if
sewerage were constructed to cover
the business section and thence to the
river at some point at the lower end of
the city.
Another point made is that perma-
nent street improvement is impossible
until sewers are laid and that in con-
sequence morley will have been uselessly
expended UPON them from year to year.
1t has been suggested that sewers be
laid on the principal streets to the
Secerd street and thence south to the
river.
1t has been proposed Chat III such i'm
provement tie city should pay one
third Of the cost.
T6 the News it. appears that there is
strength to every point made. by those.
who favor sewering the business sec
ton. 1t must come sooner or later.
The matter presents the simple ques-.
ton: Are we ready for the expense?
To answer that question will require an
estimate Of cost and consultation of
the people. No city should be Ultra
conservative or extravagant. Condi-
tions should be met as necessity de-
mands, Itmight be well for the council
at it's leisure to determine the expense
of such proposition and feel The pulse
of the public in the matter.

SUMNER SCHOOL
Progressing Finely With Increase
in Attendance.

Progressing Finely with increase
in Attendance.
The three-weeks summer school,
which is now tw6-thirds past, is pro-
crossing finely with an indroased at
tendahce this week.
Misses Ida Jipson and May Ward Of
Glen Flora and Miss Iva Staufacher of
Ladysmith came int6 the class this
week.
Miss Lucy Rosenquist conducted
model classes in primary work this
week and gave the attending teachers
the benefit of the most approved
methods of the day.
Mr.. Starin of Bruce is continuing his
excellent work in general school work.
Mr.. Starin is specially adapted to sum-
mef school work. He is devoting much
attention to the philosophy Of teaching
and the reduction of the work along
the lines of analytic and synthetic
reasoning, with the result that the at
tending young teachers will be better
able to pursue their work with less
formulas, thus drawing upon the
reasoning powers Of their classes rather
than the pursuit Of memoffzed rules
and formulas, which, when forgotten,
leave the pupils at sea without pro-
peller or fudder The News has been
pleased and entertained at occasional
visits at the school. This term should
be the beginning of long series of
summer schools for the teachers of the
county.
Superintendent Mackih is doing
large amount of language work. 1t is
very agreeable to note that the super
intendent avails himself of every op
portunity to push this part of school
work to the front. Every observer Of
school work will appreciate that good
language is essential to every express
sion or even conception and absolutely
necessary to mental growth. The work
of this session is very properly designed
to reach the weaker spots in the gen
eral school work of the county.
The superintendent announces that
Prof. w. I'll. Cheever of the Milwaukee
Normal, who is this week at Chiffon
and next week at Mauston, will be
here July 31st to begin a twoweeks
institute.
