Beauty of Clouds.

II Is not Of first sight easy to say
why people so rarely give more than
a passing glance to the realm OF air
above them. Is 1t because we cannot
have a fpger in this department OF
the wonders of nature, cannot net and
label anything in those blue fields, pin
Il down on cork or fatten it In Canada
balsam; cannot here annihilate dis
lance with our ingenious instruments,
that we neglect the phenomena OF the
skyf There above US. always ours for
a lift Of tho eyes. Is beauty In endless
change for the contented mind and for
the restless one the challenge OF the
ceaseless thaumaturgy which seems
little nearer being foulG ont than
when the world began, and yet In COM
parison with such lines OF research as
are offered by cuckoo's eggs or the
protective devices Of caterplllars the
region of the clouds may be said to be
unexplored.- Saturday Review.

A Deferred Call.

In a certain town in the county OF
Wexford there Is a house the door of
which must be raised a little to be
opened, and for this purpose the
Ratchet IL generally used. One night
lately knock came to the door, and a
youngster was sent to see who was
there.
"Who Is there?' he inquired.
Me" said voice outside.
The youngster, knowing the voice,
shouted back Qn such tone that the
person outside could hear HIM:
ITS Mrs. Murphy. Get the hatchet!'
Needless to say Mrs. Murphy didn't
wait.-Pearson's Weekly.

their designations to Maj. L. L. Cheatwood
Trouble has been pending in the battalion
for some time, and was precipitated on the
trip of the battalion to Baltimore this week
Mai. Cheatwood. Lieut. T. M. Hobson and
Private Robert W. Blair were members of a
box party at Ford's Theater, in company
with several ladies.
Mr. Blair was rocking his chair, and one
of the ladies was annoyed at his action
Lieut. Hobson called Blair's attention to
the matter and he at once desisted. A few
moments later he again, unthinklngly COM
menced rocking and was '.called down by
the lieutenant. Blair left the box, and when
the party boarded the train for Rich
mond the trouble was renewed, and when
Hobson applied an epithet to Blair the lat
ter struck the officer. Blair was cheered
when he stepped from the train under ar.
rest. A court martial was averted by the in
PREVENTION of friends. Maj. Cheatwood and
Lieut.. Hobson are said to have incurred the
Ill will of the members of the battalion, the
major unfolding the lieutenant, who is ad-
jutant Of the battalion.
The designations were placed in Maj
Cheatwood's hands yesterday afternoon
but they have not yet reached the adjutant

officers have signed a petition to Governor
Swanson, asking him to decline to accept
the designations when they shall reach him
Blair is the man who was last year named

his age. He Is now an employee of the inter.

A Protest Against Dismissal Without
| Hearing.


AS an act of simple justice to me, please
publish the following statement:
When the first list Of teachers reappoint-
ed by the board Of education was published
my name had been omitted-why, did not
know, but thought the omission an mad
vertence. When the second list appeared
the same omission occurred. Then I in
quired why of four trustees, each Of whom
referred me to DR.. Chancellor as he had
not nominated me, they said.
On Tuesday last l saw the superintendent
and asked him why had not been appoint
ed. He said that some persons had OPP
posed my nomination and that he intended
to get to the bottom of the whole high
school affair. / told him that 1 wished
him to do SO and to do it thoroughly. He
declared that he would make thorough
investiga ton Of the charges.
On Thursday last 1 saw the superinten-
dent again and learned from him that he
had investigated the charges thoroughly
and had found them frivolous He said
that he believed me to be good teacher
and that he had presented my name to
the board the day before for reappoint-
ment He also said that two members of
the board Messrs. Cook and Atwood, would
vote for me, but that l could not obtain
the support of the other six, only one of
whom knows me at all.
1 asked what those other members gave
as reasons for not supporting my nomina-
reasons, but repeated that the charges
were, in his opinion. frivolous" and Of
, fered to give me strong recommendation
to the superintendent of schools in another
city. DR.. Chancellors attitude throughout
was courteous. kind and just.
If / remember correctly teacher can
not be dismissed under the new law ex-
cept for cause. written charges. at the
trial of which she may be defended by
counsel and accompanied by one friend. I
have had no hearing by the board. although
on Friday last l sent in a request for one.
That the whole proceeding Is the grossest
injustice is evident, and ask the general
public to suspend judgment in the matter
until I obtain a hearing. for 1 shall get
justice II possible.
/ have taught here for many years and
have stood solidly for what I considered
right. but all those years of teaching must
count for naught, / understand because
am PERSONA non grata to one member
of the school board who has never adj
mired' me.
If teacher can be dropped or dismissed
without hearing simply because some
trustee has not the taste to admire her,
no one Is safe: If such conditions prevail
the chains with which some officials seek
to bind teachers will be riveted SO strongly
that soon there will be not single teacher
In the District who will dare oppose UNI
truthfulness, dishonesty or rascality of any
kind; and If under the new law the animus
of an official who has declared enmity
against a teacher can be used so subtly to
rob that teacher of her living, Congress
ought to reconsider the law just passed and
so amend 1t that the malice. the vicious
ness and possibly the wounded vanity of
no one member of the board of education
could be used to deprive teacher of her
position. MARY E. NALLE.
