The Barrel Race

TN CANADA some of our boys in-
 dulge in a very exciting form of \ winter sport.
 Barrels, with heads and bottoms re- moved. are placed along the ice course. Then the boys competing line up for the start.
 Away they go, all skating for the first barrel. The skaters must pass through each barrel on their way to- ward the goal It is very amusing to see several try to get through the barrel at the same time. Sometimes, around so that 1t faces ic the opposite direction, and the racer. upon emerg- ing from the end, skates by mistake toward his starting point.

An Unobserving Thief

 The owner shortly afterward saw the rogue leading his horse, and took him before the caid. or judge.
 ''The horse is mine" sturdily insisted the thief.
 In vain the other argued, and the caid was about to give his decision in favor of the villain. when Yosouf ad- vanced suddenly. threw his cloak over the horses head and demanded of his enemy:
 Since you own the horse. tell the caid in which eye the animal Is blind!" ''In the left" said the thief, making a wild guess.
 Yosouf looked toward the caid trium- phantly. Hes blind in neither eye" said he.
 So the noble horse came into its rightful owners possession again. and the wicked Arab was punished.

mistaken when it says that with

Bank of this place Scotland was
left without q bank. The Bon

At the regular meeting of the
school board last Friday evening
the present corps of teachers were
all employed for the coming year
with the exception of assistant
principal. The salary Of Prof.
Manthey, the principal, was raised
to 500 per month, and that of
Mrs. Becker, in the grammar room,
to $50 per month. The salaries in
the other grades were unchanged.
The advances that were made were
we'll deserved and were a just recog-
milton of efficient service. It is I'M
fortunate that the board can not
afford to raise the salaries of all
the grade teachers as the work that
they have been doing is worthy of
this recognition, but there are
some positions that a not be
creditably filled unless suitable
salaries are paid, and the instruct
ors in the high school and grammar
departments are in this class. Prof.
Manthey has been here two years
and his work, both Al instructor
and as superintendent, has been
IHNsI
very c0mmendable.

The primary election law for Hartford
county, which was given its first trial a
couple of weeks ago, does not find favor
at least, with the Hartford Democrat. The
law permits the voter to get his ticket
from the judge, take it out, have it mark
ed and return with it to the ballot box.
This feature, apparently is the most glar-
ing defect of the law, and is cinch for
the vote buyer and seller alike, who
could wish for nothing simpler.
The Democrat says the law is the out
come of the public demand for legalized
primaries to prevent fraud on the ballot
box, extensively practiced before its en-
actment, but it accomplishes that only
partially, while it opens wide the door
for bribery. IT can be made to prevent
both bribery and corruption by throwing
around it the safeguards of the general
election law, if properly amended.

Pressure may be brought to bear on

result OF a combination between his own

Vandiver.
Henry Williams may he nominated as

case the Governor should not be can

The Interstate Commerce Commission

transportation companies have a right to
discriminate in rates in favor of the New

cotton spinners of the South. The rail
roads are still playing their old game of
tying the hands of the Commission by
legal technicalities and then doing as
they please: The only way to spike their
guns completely and compel them to
treat everyone with justice is for the Gov
eminent to take absolute control and
operate the roads for the benefit of the
people, an issue.which is clearly forcing
itself to the front, and which the arro-
gance of the railroads demands should
be early settled.

ELUSIVE FAME.
How One May Perhaps Grasp This
Mocking WiII-o the -wisp.

Mockinq WILL '-the-W lSp.
Fame is the sum total of all the adj
vertising man has had, plus his supe-
riority over others. When we desire it
most it never comes, and when it
does come we have forgotten that we
wanted it,
Fame comes either before a man is
dead or after: When it comes before
it is not so likely to last after; but
when it comes after it grows contin-
ually. Generally speaking, those who
crave it most never receive it-that is,
until after they have stopped craving
it.
Fame is peculiar to itself 1t is not
religious or moral or wealthy or So
cial or political. 1t rises above the
Ten Commandments and, like nature,
creates it's own standards.
Fame is more common among the
dead than among the living. No man
living can be absolutely sure of it. But
when it comes to dead man he can
be confident that it will remain.
Fame is the most useless thing in
the world. Those who once realize this
are the ones most likely to receive it.
To be famous, therefore, live long
enough to avoid all rules, work with
out ceasing, create with courage the
thing you take the most pleasure in,
and then, having died, calmly await
the reSult.-Judge
