two candidates in the field for mayor,

Three classes of summer normal
schools will be maintained during the
coming summer by the State Depart
ment of Education whereas last yeal
and in the past only two characteroi
normals have been operated. During
the coming summer there will be
normal for those teachers who have
never taught school or who have
taught for the first time during thu
past session. The second grade nor
mails that will be maintained during
the summer will be for those teachers
who hold second and third grade GER
tificates, and the third normal will bt
for the high school teachers and nor
NAL graduates. Last summer gener.
al normals were maintained for tn,
public school teachers, one for those
holding certificates and the other ut

where a higher course of instruction
was given. The increase of the third
character of normal schools for those
who have had little or no teaching
experience will give II thorough and
systematic series of schools for the
public school teachers. which will
make it unnecessary for any of thu
public school teachers to go away
from the State To receive professional
instruction during the summer
Three courses of study for the three
different classes of nOrmals are now
being arranged, and will be issued by
the Department of Education some
time during the summer months

What a general Improvement in
the whole character of our dressing
it would make if every woman would
let alone the fashions that do not
come into her scheme of existence! A
woman will not purchase a ball
gown when she never has been and
never will go to a ball, yet she will
willingly, eagerly, buy n hat or a
wrap that was plainly intended for
women who lead utterly different
live from hers. She cannot be made
to see the reason for not doing the
one, yet she would not do the other
under any persuasion.

The Farmers' Union.

Some time ago The Commercial
Appeal called attention to the Far
mers' Union, showing that the organi-
zation was fashioned along lines
which, if adhered to, would develop
greatness in more ways than one for
the organization.
The importance which the country
attributes to the recent session OF
this union, and the fact that the Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor sought an alliance
with the farmers demonstrates con-
clusively that the man of the pillow
and the farm begins to recognize the
strength that is a t his command, and
has found in this union medium Of
properly handling the tremendous
power. And if this should prove
true; If the farmer has at last fash
;oned union capable of protecting
his interests enough to restore to
him that influence in public affairs
which be used to enjoy, and which by
every law of nature and man ought
to belong To him, every true states
man and every loyal citizen in the re-
public will recognize in the discovery
an occasion for national rejoicing.
As a factor in the progress of the
United States the agricultural class
is larger numerically than any other;
as wealth producer it is supreme;
as the bearer of the expenses Of gov
eminent, it is the mainstay; but as a
recipient of government favors it is
restricted to the niggarGly inheritance
Of the step-child. Thus, for many
decades, the largest class of Amsri-
can toilers, the chief wealth-produc-
ers OF the nation and the main tax
payers Of the country have been con-
tributing to condition that makes
life and living easy and luxurious foI
Others. receiving in return nothing
but the scraps Of the feast. All Amer
lea has come to recognize this crying
injus tice, consequently, if the farmers
through their union, can bring about
a change benefiting their own condi
ton and advancing their influence il
the affairs Of public life. all Americs
will gladly and cheerfully make wa,
for the new power.

on the left side!" muttered Mrs NAL
lock, as Annabel went out the door.
"B1ess her heart, what pretty, trim
little thing she is with her neat fig
ure and her brown curls, and her big
blue eyes like baby's. The poor,
dear, silly child!'
Anabel applied for the position in
a downtown store, but received little
encouragement
A small army of experienced work
ers were there to offer their ser
vices, and with sinking heart the
young girl turned away.
She boarded a car bound for home,
and sat down beside a stout woman
whose silks and furs and diamonds
offered a striking contrast to the
shabby attire of the slender girl who
was overshadowed by her avoirdupois
and her snowy elegance.
AS the car filled they were wedged
closely together, and the folds of
garnet silk forced over the blue serge.
Annabel, with faint smile, as she
thought of Mrs. Mallock's mistake,
slipped her left hand down by her
side in order to procure her handker-
chief from her misplaced pocket.
1t was rather awkward for her and
required some little effort, but at last
she succeeded in finding the opening,
and, at that instant, the stout woman
beside her, who had been growing
redder and redder in the face, turned
abruptly toward her, and something
closed about the girls wrist.
give caught your exclaimed the
woman. "Picking my pocket, Ell? I'll
teach you lesson. Conductor, con-
ductor, stop the carl"
By this time every one had realized
the situation, and was staring at the
couple.
Annabel looked down in confusion,
while burning flush swept over her
face, realized only one fact-her hand
was actually in the pocket of the gar
net-silk dress, and the stout woman
was holding it there in a vise-like
grip.
Too bewildered to clearly under
stand the matter, the young girl be-
gan to stammer something, but the
woman si1enced her with her noisy,
vo1uble denunciations.
"I'll show you what it means to

only last week. A nice girl you are;
a nice face you've got for a pick
pocket, but I dare say you're acting
for somebody else. won't encourage
crime. I'll have you arrested at once.
Come along, miss"
The car had stopped. Despite An
nabe1s incoherent protests and re-
sistance, the woman still gripping her
wrist, led her stumbling into the
street and hailed an officer.
The car moved on, but everyone
was stretching his neck to get last
glimpse of the young criminal, and
one or two, more curious than the
rest, alighted and drew near.
The woman told her story and the
officer took charge of Annabel. The
girls only idea then was to hide her
face from the curious passers-by.
Think of the disgrace of it all!
Marched along the streets in broad
daylight in the custody of an officer
with a painting, angry accuser behind
her
Luckily, the station-house was near
but as they drew near the doorway
a young man approached the little
group, passed and stood there with
look of incredu1ous horror on his
face
"Annabel!"
She looked up with a gasping cry
of "Linwe1l," and would have fallen
but for the officers extended arm.
Linwel1 Hoyt followed them into
the station-house.
"Here's a girl caught picking peck
cts" said the officer to the stern
faced man behind the desk.
Linwell Hoyt sprang forward Gag
early, cts a mistake!" he said in
clear, indignant tones. ct know this
young girl we'll"
He was waved aside while the stout
woman made her complaint Then
Annabe1, who was pale and trembling
was allowed to tell her story
In low tones and with fearful eyes
she made her explanations, showing
her misplaced pocket in evidence
She had only tried to get her hand
kerchief, and her awkward left hand
had found it's way into the folds of
her neighbours dress.
Mrs. Mal1ock was sent for, and the
