The members of the school
board were greatly surprised
last Saturday to receive a tele-
gram from Miss Ward, who had
been re.engaged to teach in the
village schools the coming year,
saying she had decided to accept
another position and would not
be here to commence school
Monday morning. Luckily the
Board was able to induce Miss
HOrtense Pratt to accept the po-
sftion and school was started on
time with the full complement of
teachers. It seems rather
strange that a teacher who had
been under contract for several
months to teach, would wait un-
til day before school was to
commence to resign.-Summit

We print the above item as an
instance Of what is q common
occurrence in the experience of
boards of education. It would
certainly seem to indicate that a
great many teachers have an
understanding that it takes only
Ode party to fulfill a contract af-
ter it is made and that party is
the school board. The offer of a
position with a small increase

vantageous terms is sufficient to
have q teacher tender q resig-
nation just before the opening of
school and compel the board to
hustle for q teacher or get

Who are doing this thing could

profit out of his horses the farmer
must Craze the young things, but that
Is not to say that they may be let run
in one field all summer long to the best
advantage. Whenever pasture gets
short it should be supplemented by 9th

that grass is at any time sufficiently

The point, however, is that the field on
which horses are grazed should be in
good heart and carrying very full
bite
It is we'll known that horses on the
grass are rather notional feeders and
will keep on eating away at that por-
tion of the forage which suits them in
preference to going into other parts Of
the field. This not infrequently results
In one part OF the feld being cropped
down to the very roots while the rest Of
It carries what seems to be good
growth of grass. Nevertheless the
horses will stick to the bare and almost
brown portion. with the result that
they do not thrive. Therefore II there
Is only one part Of field on which
horses will feed with pleasure the size
Of that field for that use is to be
gauged solely by the size Of the portion
on which they desire to feed. When
ever this is seen to be the ease an aug
mentation Of the ratien by grain feed
ing is desirable.
Furthermore a sheltered shed is an
absolutely Indispensable adjunct to ev-
cry pasture In which horses are kept
It need not be an expensive affair, but
It should be dark and airy 50 that the
colts may enter In and get away for a
time from the dies. which pestilentially
annoy the poor beasts from morn till
evening out in the field. A good shed
will pay many times It's cost even with
q few young horses each season.
Another thing to be looked out for in
the grazing Of horses IL to have the wa
ter supply in good shape. Nothing is
much harder on colts than to have to
wade through the mud to get where
they must drink, and 1t 10 usual that

REIuRa.He TnE Battle FLAGS.

The battle flags around which the
brave men of the south gathered in
a four years. conflict with the brave
men of the north, but which for forty
years have been in the hands of the
nation, are now being returned to
those who fought under them, that
they and their children may rejoice
through this token that the sectional
bitterness is no more
1t is forty years now, or will be
very soon, since the civil war ended.
At its close the two sections of once
united country looked upon each
other with a hatred and bitterness
that promised to be undying In the
south this hatred and bitterness were
to he expected But when men like
Horace Greeley and Charles sumner
tried to bring about kinder feelings

once been friends, but later became
foes, the war spirit turned against
them and behaved towards them as
though they had been traitors instead
of the noble patriots they. were.
Horace Greeley found himself as
sailed with every weapon that malic-
ious ingenuity could devise, and it
may be said that he died of a broken
heart. Charles Sumner, who had
proposed the return of the battle
flags to the south. was censured by
vote of the Massachusetts legislature,
and he did not live long after that.
But times have changed What
the nation refused to do in the days
of Greeley and Sumner, what it re-
fused to do during the days of Grover
Cleveland's administration, it has
now done. The vote TO return the
DdIIIe HaSS was unanimous In DOtn
houses of congress.
The return of these battle flags Will
heal every wound caused by the war.
There will be no more bitterness, no
more sectional hatred. North and
south are reunited in fact as well as
in name. Future battles, should
future battles be necessary, will be
fought nos against one another, but
shoulder TO shoulder against a
foreign foe In the councils of the
nation both the northern patriot and
the southern patriot must unite for
the purpose of making our common
country great and glorious. EATERS
of policy, eXpediency and principle
shall be decided by the men of all
sections, and not of any one section.
And in this happy return to ali era of
good feeling, when men from the
north and men from the south may

AN CAUSING GAME

The movement to secure funds for

The game started with the UseTo-

Chambers had crossed the plate.
They were able to keep the Never
Vases from scoring in the first inn
ing. In the second inning Prof.
Workman made desperate effort
and reached first, but was left Oh
base while the next three men were
retired. The newer aspirants were
more successful, and tailed one run
i'll this inning.
The third inning resulted in d blank
for the Use-To-Be'S, while rtheir OPP
pOnents sent two more men around
the bases and tied the score. This
sta of affairs did not last long The
fourth inning saw the Use-TO-Be's
send CrOm and Drake all around and
added two more tallies to sthe score
of the Older men. Several close and
exciting plays occurred, and created
much amusement when men on both
sides were seen rolling around in the
dirt. The boys did not score in this
inning, so the L. I. B. were two
runs to the good.
After this the [. T. B. 5 had many

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE RIDINING PARTY.

Imogen had gained her point. She
was not to be separated from her
beloved governess, her face wore its
usual smiles and she was her bright
self once more The day set for the
last horseback ride of the season was
delightfully."- fine, one of those bright
but deliciously cool days such as one
often experiences in mid summer in
this semi-tropical land.
The sky was as softly, tenderly blue
as the color of an infants eyes and
over it's surface fioated now and then
patches of fleecy, filmy clouds.
small fiecks of radiance that resem-
bled a shower of blossoms fallen from
some far away invisible flower land.
A food of melody rained down
from the branches of the grand old
trees from many a feathered song
ster's throat. and the soft wind that
fell with caressing touch bore the
perfume of thousand flowers in its
breath.
Busy preparations were in progress
at Beaumont incidental TO the early
fitting of its inmates.
Mrs. Nurriatte with brighter face
than she had worn for months fitted
from room to room of the grand old
house, and her husband catching
glimpse of her bright face as she
passed in and out. and remembering
her promises of the day before, went
on his way will, great burden lifted
from his heart.
''It was so sweet of you and papa
to persuade Miss Bennett to accom-
pany US this summer" Imogen
paused to say to her mother whom
she met on the stairway as the girl,
in full riding costume came tripping
down the stairway, 1.-The idea of her
shutting herself up in the convent fer
three months instead of going with Us
was absurd. Don't you think So,
mama?''
Mrs Muriatte sat down on the stairs

down upon the steps on which her
mothers feet were resting. and look

affectionate eyes.
''Do you not think you have acted
rather selfishly tn regard to this mat

her daughters question

ITO speak frankly, Imogen, you

you naught but unhappiness," said
Mrs. Murriatte advisingly.

Imogen, mo one on earth could win
