C1ACScu M1lSS US1OW Lue u6aQ OF the
passes of the Mississippi, and not far
from where Southwest pass loses
itself in the Gulf of Mexico, a little
stream no wider than village street
curves away from the main "pass."
Along both sides are tiny landings,
and back of each there is a cottage,
relates Youths Companion. The cot
tages are now neglected and forlorn,
but once they were palm-shaded, rose
guarded and lovely. There, in the
days when Southwest pass was the
principal mouth of the Mississippi,
dwelt the pilots who carried ships
across the bar.
"Old Pilot-town" is hidden from the
traveller on the. pass by dense cane
brake and strangers seldom enter its
bayou. One who did came down the
river in skiff, and turned into "Old
Pilot-town bayou" at noon for din
ner. He found ready meal at the
first cottage, where dwelt an old WON
an, widow of one of the old-time
pilots. AS the meal progressed, one

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
How Il Works Out In Practice With
Workina People.

How II Works Out in Practice With
Working People.
From 1885 to 1909 the sum of $780,.
/ 100000 was expended by the various
insurance systems in Germany for the
restoration of the health of working
men and their families. One-third of
this sum was paid in by the employ
ers. There is no doubt, says Vice
Consul Schlemmer Of Mannheim, that
it would have cost double If the men
had been compelled to pay everything
out Of their own pockets, the moder-
ate medical charges now being regu-
lated by these insurance laws. AS q
matter Of fact, people would not other
wise be able to spend so much money
for medical treatment, and great
many would perish or be permanently
! disabled for lack Of proper treatment:
and the disabled ones would remain
q permanent burden on the commun.
ity. It also appears that physical and
intellectual conditions Of the laboring
classes generally have been greatly
improved by this protective insurance
system, as evidenced by the reduction
/. Of mortality at industrial centers.
which now is only 81 per 1000 inhabi-
tants, again 27h before the law took
effect. Although food, products are

consumption has increased in quantity

the buying power Of the people has
been greatly Increased through the in.
surance funds and higher wages.

0allopins Grace and the other nisn-
bers Of Lord Chugmough's 4 party
turned their backs on the washsd-out

Two days later, on beautiful clear
day. when the hot sun was beating
down on the decks. Captain Glover
stood on the bridge-his throne, ana Z
more secure one than was the sambi-
ton Of tho false Philip Of Aragon-
with the visor Of his cap pulled low
over his eyes to shade them from the
glare. watching, with considerable
wonder and pleasure, the splendid
scenery Of the north shore near which
he was running, the wonder being that
all nature could be so beautiful and
smiling so soon after the tempestuous
experience of few days before.
Now and then Captain Glover raised
pair of glasses to his eyes and swept
the verdure-clad shore, noting the
many-colored flowers, which certainly
must have bloomed since the storm.
for they could not have lived through
it.
"Ah," he said to himself, giving a
characteristic grunt at the same time.

Der that mountain. Now, that's q
queer place for a mountain. It's al
ways been my opinion that noun
tain Is necessarily land animal. But
this is square in the river-sort of am
phibious mountain, as it were"
And smiling at his own joke, tho
captain continued to study the bold
outlines and lofty eminence of the
mountain that had attracted him,
which was no other than the Island Of
the Clouds, which has already played
not unimportant part in the history
Of some of our friends.
Every minute brought the rapid
yacht nearer to the mountain, and
after an hour or so Captain Glover
raised the glass again to take another
and closer survey.
The same day he rescued Dona
Maria, Jacinta and their American
protector and the Cheerway bore them
up the Amazon to Bolivar.
In due time the yacht arrived at
Bolivar, and Medworth, seeing no SOL
diers of Philip near, made bold to re-
quest to be sent ashore that he might
make inquiries concerning Castle Sal
varez, and also put in few sly ques-
lions to see If Jack Tempest was any
where about.
The information he received on
shore fairly staggered him with
mixed emotion-part joy, part grief.
Everybody in Bolivar knew all about
the battle on Carib Hill, and Medworth
listened with beating heart to the
story Of the supposed death of Lola
Cara, the crafty treachery Of Namam-
pa, the meeting of Namampa and Lola
with Lord Chugmough on Carib Hill,
the subsequent attack by Mattazudo.
and the final misunderstanding which
resulted in the total humiliation of
both wings of Philips army. He also
heard with sorrow of the heroism and
death of his old comrade, and the Joy
over the knowledge that Lola was
alive and well was tempered with
grief over the death of his loyal
friend.

The annual teachers institute of
this county opened on Monday morn
ing OF this week, under the direction
OF the county superintendent, Mrs. An
ma c. Miller, with DR.. ]. F. Brown of
the state university as conductor, says
the Newcastle N~ews-Journal.
DR.. Brown is not only an able and ex-
perienced man in educational work, but
seems to be especially well fitted for
the character of work required of a
successful institute worker. The va.
rious subjects presented by him are
clearly and ably presented, while his
earnestness INT pleasant manner aid
in making the work impressive.
Wednesday evening DR.. Brown de-
ivered an able address at the city hall
to a large and appreciative audience.
His subject, "The Cost of Education
Does 1t Pay?" was handled in an inter.
esting manne and was full of ideas
worthy Of the careful attention of our
people.

PRINCIPAL NORMAL COLLEGE OF

Visited Basin City, Sundance and New

quiry About the University.

DR.. John Franklin Brown, principal
OF the normal department of the Uni
yersity OF Wyoming, who has been abb
sent for the past three weeks attend
ing the Big Horn County Teachers in
stitute at Basin City, the Crook County
Teachers institute at Sundance and
the Weston County Teachers institute
at Newcastle, returned home this
morning having finished the work in
hand. He is quite delighted with the
trip, aside from the pleasure of meet.
ing So many of the bright teachers of
the state. and is enthusiastic over the
outlook for the coming year of that
portion OF the commonwealth.
Good University Feeling.
There is a healthy university senti-
ment' too, in the northern part of the
state" DR.. Brown said, and people
are coming to realize the Importance
Of sending their children to Laramie
to be educated in the leading state in
stitution. They are not ~conversant
with the possibilities of the university
and are anxious to learn. l should be
glad to see a publicity bureau started
here, and the university exploited in
every hamlet, every village and every
city in the state-yes, in every home,
if possible"
Congressman Makes Speech.
DR.. Brown spent the last week at
Newcastle, among the teachers of Wes-
ton county. On Monday the institute
was visited by Congressman Mondell
and MI. Putnam of the Newcastle
~News-Journal, each of whom made an
address. MI. Putnam is an old teach
er n was entirely at home in the
The teachers were greatly
enthused at the presence of the two
gentlemen and listened attentively to
their addresses.
Rich Section of State.
DR.. Brown marveled at the rapid de-
yelopment of the Big Horn basin. He
said SO great has been the influx of
people to that section that at times it
is difficult to get proper accommoda-
lions for the transient visitor. Every
body is patient in the prevailing optim.
prepared to do the best he can for
and his neighbors, and none
are inclined to find fault. The basin
is indeed a garden spot, and DR.. Brown
was received with open arms by the
people.
Will Deliver Lectures.
The principal of the normal depart
ment was urged while in Big Horn
county to stay over one night, a gen.
tleman living at Lowell promising him
audience of several hundred per-
sons to listen to his lecture, but the
doctor was compelled to hasten along,
however, to return later and
speak to the people Of that section. He
says there are many prospective stu
dents of the university there, one lady
in particular saying she had known
SO little about the university as to rem
der the matter a hard n to decide
until DR.. Brown had explained the in
stitution to her.
Bright Lot of Teachers.
DR.. Brown found the teachers of the
three counties he visited among the
most intelligent he had ever seen. He
said he was surprised at the youngest
and smallest state, in point of popu-
%lation, SO well represented in the
schools. There is no lack of good
teachers and they are doing excellent
work.
