Launcelot, when he won the Illinois

Launcelot, when he won the Illinois
stake at Galesburg last week, equalled
the mark made by Ardelle, Of 2:O5 IA,
the record for green PAGERS. Launce-
lot had no record when he started out
this year, but he had performed twice
last year, over the half mile tracks at
Yorkville and Sandwich. Ill. On the
other hand, Ardelle had performed and
won matinee races so that the mare

A Set Of Dissected Mans.

Busy work for idle hands may be
given with the dissected maps and
many useful lessons learned. The OBJ
1ect is not SO much to keep the little
folks busy to keep them out of mis-
chief as to give them something useful
to do and not tire of the busy work.
A good story is told of bright city
girl who married young farmer. She
was told by her young husband that
when neighbours came to borrow, to al
ways lend, as that was the way farm
ers had to do. One day during the
husbands absence neighbor came
over to borrow pillow. OF course, she
didn't know pillow from a harrow,
and not wanting to appear totally
ignorant, she went into the yard with
the farmer and seeing an old stone
boat she asked If this wouldn't ans
Wer the purpose. 1t is said she went
into the coward one day and asked
her husband to point out the COW that
gave cream and the one that gave
butter and the various other articles
made from milk. To some this these
things unless taught them. The story
OF the cow and her uses would be a
very good one for our little city folks,
some of whom have never seen a COW.
So this idea of studying catalog il
Illustrations, and the uses of the vari-
Gus articles will tend to cultivate
habit of closer observation and a clos
err inquiry into the uses of things. The
inquisitive spirit If properly directed is
good one. Try the illustrated cata-
log as developer of new thought.
There are many other useful and in
expensive articles that can be added
to the teachers cabinet.
We trust enough has been said to
arouse an interest in our teachers to
an extent that we shall hear from
them with suggestive additions to the
teachers cabinet. Address, Lock
Box 235, Grand Forks.

STEERING FAILS TO LOWER TINE
Marathon Winner Could Not Beat
Time OF Marsh Mile Run.

Associated Press to The Evening" Times.
Winnipeg, Sept. 15-Though Will
liam Sherring won one of the greatest
races on record and shed great dis
tinction on his country by so ding,
still he failed to be drawing card in
Winnipeg, as last nights performance
at the Arena was witnessed by little
over 200 people, a very poor showing
for Winnipeg's sport-loving public. Mr..
Sherring really deserved more patron
age, as besides being a runner who
has very few equals the fact that he
captured world-famous race and un-
der great difficulties, having practical
iy no support and got through it all
WIN an empty pocketbook is an
achievement we'll worthy of recogni-
ton. He was Toasted in Athens, ban
quoted at London, England-in the
eastern cities of Canada his reception
was on scale greater than has ever
been accorded any other athlete. In
winnipeg, however, the public did not
take the same interest and failed to
recognize the little wonder as he de-
served
Sherring failed to show his form in
MS five mile exhibition run against the
time of 1921 made by John Marsh in
the five mile race the night previous.
Sherring was not in the best of shape,
ne having been living pretty we'll since
he arrived in the city. However, he
put up good exhibition without pace
makers. and it is no easy matter to
beat the fast time of the st. Norbert
man. Sherring kept up a steady jog
from the start and maintained it to
the finish, his time being 31.49 Minis.
His manager, Mr.. Wright, said after
the race that he was surprised to see
Sherring last the miles as he was
in very poor shape, having been sick
all the way up on the train, and he
thought that he had done remarkably
well under the conditions.
Marsh won the medal donated by
Lieutenant-Governor Mcmillan for the
fastest five miles. Marsh is an Eng
1ishman and is 80 years old, is married
and has several children. He is a
splendid runner, and has splendid en-
during powers, and when he goes to
Hamilton in a few weeks time to run
in the rs mile race. he will have the
good wishes of all Winnipeg.

Pretty Girl Meets Accident Through

Pittsburg, Sept. 15.-When a pretty
and stylish dressed girl stepped off
Pennsylvania railroad train at Will
merding yesterday, and promptly faint
ed there was futter of excitement
and every man who CHANGED to be
nearby was urgent in his offers of as
sistance.
The young woman was carried into
the waiting room, where she soon re-
vived. She explained that she had
sprained her ankle upon leaving the
train. A glance at her shoes showed
that the heels were nearly three
inches high and only an inch in cir
conference at the bottom. She re-
fused to give her name and boarded
a street car for McKeesport.

AS the carpenter, mason, and archi-

work, SO the teacher who is also a

have any teacher suggest anything
suitable for such a cabinet.

Spelling Reform.

President Roosevelt has given dir
ections to the public printer to print
all Of his messages and other docu-
ments from the executive department
in accordance with the list of words
approved by the board on simplified
spelling, of which Professor Matthews
of Columbia University is chairman.
The boards list is 300 words simpli-
fled by dropping silent letters, the sub
stitution of final 1t" for led in such
words as "wisht," etc., and the use of
single novels instead of diphthongs.
The fact that the president has put
his stamp of approval upon the list
will, no doubt, induce many others to
use the new spelling.

The Illustrated Cataloe,

1t is really wonderful how many in
teresting talks many be given by the
wide-awake teacher by use of an IL
Illustrated catalog. Almost any hard
ware merchant has an out-of-date cat
alog he will gladly donate. Let the
children learn the names of all the
different articles and tell their uses.
Take for example the saw family"
Show the different kinds of saws and
explain how each is sharpened diff
ferently for the different kinds of
work to be done; show why some have
course teeth and others fine teeth;
show the difference between the rip
saw and the cross-cut saw; the band
saw and the circular saw, and if near
a saw mill, take the children on an
excursion to the saw mill and learn
how lumber is made.
While on the subject of saws, the
manufacture of lumber and its vari-
Gus purposes may be taken up and
much interesting information given.
Much depends upon the teachers
ouwn resources and originality in de-
veloping interesting lessons from
catalog illustrations, yet if the child
learns no more than the correct names
and cost of various articles in COM
mon use, much of the commercial side
of life will be developed and many
laughable blunders will be avoided.
