A Teacher Taught.

DIR. Vaughan, for many years head
master at Harrow, once had an anus
ing encounter with a small boy who
carried off the honors of the occasion.
The incident greatly pleased the doc.
tor.
A frightened child named Dodd was
brought before DIR. Vaughan, charged
with some dire scholastic offense.
What is your manner" asked the
raster, with due severity.
"Hodd, SIR" answered the trembling
boy.
"Dodd! Do you spell It with one "a
or with two?"
NO, sir, three" answered the boy.
The doctor put his head upon the
desk, covered 1t with his hands a
moment, and then dismissed the dam
gerous criminal with a warning.
He said afterward: 81 could no
more have punished that boy thar l
could have flown. Nobody before ever
gave me such a lesson in speiling."-

The golden willow bows Its head
To winters piercing blast,
Its tender leaflets are all dead,
Its summer time long past;
And yet, though skies are overcast,
Come wind or rain. come hail or snow,
1t holds the sunshine of the past
Through all its branches golden glow.
Oh, weary, storm-tossed SOUL wilt thou
Its glowing message heed7
Though Fats's rude storms surround thee
now,
And life seems dread indeed;
Still nope through grief or loss or pain,
Joys at thy feet We're cast;
Their memories thou must yet retain.
Smile for the sunshine that is past.

How the Boys Will Go.

Contracts have been made with the
railroads by Quartermaster General
Kidd for the transportation of the state
troops TO Lawrence. Ind, for the camp
at Fort Benjamin Harrison. In bring
ing the cost down from 1000 to s20,-
600 concessions were made on both
sides, the military officers restricting
the infantry companies to 30 men and
three officers each, and arranging for
saddle horses at Indianapolis, rather
than transporting them.
Sleeping cars will have to be provid-
ed in two or three instances and this
will be at an extra expense. The $780,
COO, however, covers the transporta-
ton of the horses OF the one troop of
cavalry and the horses and equipment
Of the Lansing battery of artillery, as
well as the ordinary baggage of all the
companies.
In all cases the troops will be moved
by special train and the movement
takes place on Saturday, August 4.

prosecutor that she could not read nor

her to sign. The age of the girl in
the consent paper was given as IL

A Balloon Incline Railroad.

Consul William Bardel writes from
Bambery that Engineer Balderauer,
Of Salzberg, has invented a balloon
railroad, experiments with which are
now being made in the mountains In
the neighborhood of that German city.
1t consists of a stationary balloon,
which is fastened to a slide running
along a single steel rail. The rail is
fastened TO the side of a steep noun
tain, which ordinary railroads could
not climb. except through deep cuts
and tunnels The balloon is to float
about 35 feet over the ground, and
a heavy steel cable connects ii with
the rail. The conductor can, at will,
make the balloon slide up and down
the side of the mountain. For going
up the motive power is furnished by
hydrogen gas, while the descent Is
caused by pressure of water, which
is poured into large tank at the up
per end of the road, and which serves
as ballast Suspended from the bal
loon is a circular car with room for
ten passengers The cable goes from
the bottom of the balloon through the
center OF the car TO a regulator OF
speed, which is controlled by the con-
ductor. The inventor of this railroad
claims that his patent will force all
incline cable roads out of existence.

The "Silence Cure. ;,

Some noble and deep thinking ply
stefan has discovered what he calls
the silence cure" for all diseases Of
the nerves. To apply the cure, "all
that is necessary is for the woman
90 sit apart for an hour each day, In
absolute silence. Husbands who have
been able to try this cure report great
benefit, but, OF course, Il is very hard
upon the ladies'. Only the self-sacrific-
ing devotion of wife, who places her
husbands welfare above everything
would be capable Of carrying out the
terms of this cure, aud IL Is an ordeal
that cannot but be injurious to them
il persisted In. So far, there have
been no explosions, but suppressed
conversation is very dangerous, and
at any time we may expect to hear
of such an accident, wrecking the
home and manning the family. Whilst
the silence cure" is undoubtedly OF
benefit to the patient, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, it is attended
with such grave menaces that it Is
doubtful IL II ever become popular.
Our native chivalry would cause us
to refuse to take advantage OF it. We
would prefer TO go on having our
nerves frazzled, rather than have our
devoted wives and mothers make this
heroic sacrifice. And, after all, there
are other means. answering the same
end, and safer. There is the "vaca.
ton cure" A man takes the "vaca-
ton cure" by sending her home to
see her folks. 1t is expensive, but
safe. And IL does not entail suffer

ROUNDED UP.
Mcmillan Town Has Large Size Sen
sation.

Ten OF the best known citizens OF
Mcmillan. a small place nine miles
west of Newberry, have been arrested
on charge OF setting fire TO number
OF buildings last June. They are: Hen
ry Marks, saloonkeeper: w. s. Locke,
township clerk; Justice VIM. Mich
aels. blacksmith; George Fletcher, Mr..
Marks bartender; Wesley Allan, Cul-
bert Marks, brother of Henry; George
Dunlap, Jack Rutledge and James
Taylor.
Henry Marks ran a dsreputable re-
sort, IL is alleged, and last winter 1t
was burned TO the ground. Ever since
he has sworn vengeance.
Detectives have been four weeks
working on the case. They say that
several have already confessed their
share in the affair.
Ever since Marks place burned
down last winter he had been threat
ening vengeance on those who caused
his loss.
The detectives have done their WORK
very cleverly. Detective Warner was
first on the ground and represented
himself as the advance agent of
band of colonists who wanted to settle
near Mcmillan, and through this
gained the confidence OF Henry Marks.
Detective Fishlay posed as Warmers
friend, who was selling moonshine
whisky" and Marks was glad to buy
two barrels at 81 gallon So thor
oughly did Fishlay gain Marks conf
dence that one day Marks asked him
IL he knew Of anything better than
paris green TO kill hogs, Marks having
tried II on some of the hogs owned by
the Danaher Hardwood Lumber Co.
Dan Mcdonald is superintendent OF
the company and was opposed to the
ranch owned by Marks.
