Exodus of Teachers.

There will not be such a marked
exodus OF Paducah teachers to out
of-town normal and training schools
this summer. Twelve have decided
to attend the Chicago university and
two the Peabody at Nashville. There
are several others who have not def
nitely decided yet, and will not until
after the elections of teachers which
will be held June at the regular
board meeting.
In the matter Of teachers elections
great deal OF interest is manifested.
There are two teachers who are to
be married, it is reliably stated, and
one or two to voluntarily resign.
This will cause four vacancies but
there Is abundance of material to
draw from. The board will this year
have little trouble in filling what few
vacancies exist.

The trusts are taking to their
holes and pulling these hiding places
in after them. The paper trust, ar
two years since before the
circuit federal court in st. Paul, Min
nesota, has finally confessed its guilt
by agreeing to dissolve and to pay
some fines assessed. The victory is a
small one. but it is victory never
theless, being full recognition and
clear evidence of the power of the
law. The Sherman antitrust law
will squelch the trusts IL enforced
without doubt.

SPECIAL SERMON.
Rector OF Grace Church VIII Preach
Civic Sermon Sunday Morning
Officials Invited.

"Civic Responsibility and Civic
improvement" will be the subject OF
an address by Rev. ID. c. Wright to-
morrow morning at Grace Episcopal
church. Special Invitations have been
sent out to all the municipal boards
and officials to attend. This Is the
address which attracted much favor
able comment when delivered recent
ly before the Commercial club. As
It bears upon a subject of deep inter-
est to all good citizens, Mr.. Wright
should have many to hear him. He
is not only an eloquent and forcible
speaker. but is broad, progressive and
sane in his views.

Mr.. Bryan says he won't seek an
other nomination for president at the
hands of the Democrats, but inti-
mates he would accept one II 'circuD
stances seem to demand it," The only
fact of interest and the only surprise
is in the statement he will not seek
another nomination at the hands OF
his party. Nothing could be easier to
solve than the presidential contest of
1908 with Mr.. Bryan the Democratic
nominee.

There is no comment in the oppo-
sition or liberal press Of Russia upon
the cars greeting to the douma
when 1t convened Wednesday last,
but what the people are saying of the
paper and promising to do at the
proper time is, to use common ex-
preston. "a plenty" The greeting
was barren in suggestions. promises
or even hopes to the people, and its
reception was accordingly.

Fhe mistake OF some OF the compa-
mics, notably two of the largest in
New England, was to make confia-
grafton charge in their premiums and
then distribute the results in divi-
dends, instead of setting the confia-
grafton charge apart as an accumula-
tive reserve to be applied solely to
confiagration losses. This plan is
more scientific and more just than a
sweeping increase in rates to make
the public pay for past lack of wis
dom.

Last Teachers Meeting.

Yesterday afternoon the last regu-
lar monthly teachers meeting, was
held and the course in "McMurray's rs
Methods OF Recitation" completed. A
great deal OF good was accomplished
by the teachers In this subject dur
ing the two terms, and next year a
subject pertaining to the profession
will probably be selected. This seems
to be the inclination of the teachers.

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

81 can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
"They toss about, are rest
less. their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweate.. The next morn

sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul

magical in its action when
used as the ounce of preven-
tion. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so

Fred's Pet.

Fred had always wanted a pet, but
he lived in large city and his moth
er objected to his having a dog. You
see, Fred" she said, "our yard is
very, very small. A dog would not
be happy here, and 1t would bark so
much that 1t would annoy the neigh
bors. When We go out into the coun-
try you shall have a dog He will
have plenty Of room then and will
not disturb any invalid or any one
else who Is trying to rest
But / want pet now"
How about gold fish,"
NO. thank YOU
"A bird?"
Moo. I think not, mamma. A
bid would be better than goldfish,
but III don't beliere that I want one"
Mamma was sorry, but she haa
strong feelings about dogs in city
yards where they could disturb people
for blocks around with their barking.
A few weeks later Fred found a pet
OF his own-one that lived out in the
yard, too, but disturbed no one.
Can you guess what is was?
Fred never knew just where II
came from. He was sitting on the
back steps one day when his quiet
eye caught a glimpse OF IL in the tiny
patch OF grass, which was all the
lawn that they possessed.
He watched the little fellow curl
ously for some moments.
IL had a long tongue that IL kent
curled up In its mouth: whenever a
ny came near IL that tongue would
dart out quick as Sash Of lightning
and snatch mp the fly.
Fred got so interested counting the
number OF flies that vanished in his
new pets mouth that he forgot all
about the arithmetic lesson that he
was trying to learn.
"Fifty-fve flies in eight minutes.
That's pretty good work. I don't be-
lieve that the boys would put much
faith In my story II told them about
u. lis a fact, though; I counted
carefully"
Every day after that Fred went In
to the back yard and looked for his
pet. which he had named "Croaker."
Fred had considerable patience. and
at last he succeeded in making Croak.
er eat out Of his hand. That took a
long time, though. for Croaker was
shy and afraid OF boys. I fear that
he had some reason to dIstrust boys:
probably some bad boy had tormenteu
him.
He seemed very well content with
Fred's back yard, and Fred became so
;ond OF him that he was almost GLAD
hat he had no dog. for a dog would
never have tolerated Croaker.
Croaker didn't like the sun; he
would crawl under small bush tina,
'tood In the yard and hide under its
,eaves when the heat became yer,
Intense. When the sun went under a

would appear. and Fred said that

USING WATER AS GREASE.
Assisting the Flow Of Crude Oil In a
Pine Line

Assisting the Flow Of Crude Oil in a
Pipe Line.
A remarkable discovery is reported
from California. The oil used there
for fuel is thick. and flows in a pine
about as freely as molasses. Two
experts in the employ of the Southern
Pacific Railway, which uses a great
deal Of petroleum, conceived the idea
that water could be employed as a lub-
ricant to diminish the friction between
the oil and the sides of the pipes.
The company decided to try the exper-
lment, and 1t was great success.
The water must be used in a par.
ticular way, though. The pines
must have a spiral grooze on the IN
side, like that of rife barrel, and the
water must be forced into this. It
spreads out and forms a film around
the stream Of oil, and makes the lat
ter slip along more easily. The
amount of water used is about one
tenth as great as the oil IN the pipes.
AT the end Of the line settling tanks
are provided. When these are reached
and the fluids have a chance to re-
main almost motionless, the water
sinks and can then be separated with
out trouble.
According to writer for Engineer
ing News pipe line thirty-one miles
in length has ben constructed on
this plan. The interior diameter of
the pipe is eight inches. 1t is assert.
ed that with a given amount of pres
sure this line has been found to deliv-
er from eight TO ten times the amount
OF oil that plain pipe does without
water.
