Teacher Resigns
Her Position
Unable to Control UnruIy
Youngsters, Cause For
This Action

/
1t is too bad that c conditions in
the grammar department of our
public school have resulted in
the teacher resigning' and the
school closing. The school year
Is short enough at best, and the
children are entitled to every
day possible. And we charge
that it is largely the fault of the
parents of some of the older
children that sucn is the case.
No teacher can successfully
conduct school without proper
support from the parents. There
is no denying the fact, and we
realize that we may be treadinr
upon the toes of some doating
mama; but the fact, neverthe-
less remains the same, that there
are many unruly boys here
Parents may not be aware of
this, but investigation will dem
onstrate it. They have taken
advantage OF the teacher, in that
she did not possess the reouisita
Drawn to handle them. We do
not wish, for one moment, to he
understood as advocating cor
poral punishment in the schools
but do believe in this instance,
that a small club, judiciously ad-
ministered, would have had the
desired effect.
Think of It'll Older bows re-
fusing to go into the school room
and detaining the younger ones.
even going so far as tying them
SO they could not move. This is
a deplorable condition and dem
onstrates lack of training on the
part of these younsters. The
pity Of it all is that it not onlv
deprives those responsible for
the misconduct, of school. but
those who would conduct them
selves properly, are of necessity
eft without this training.
We would suggest to the
trustees that in choosing a sue
:essor to the retiring teacher,
that among other qualifications
hey require that the applicant
have a good training in physical
culture and who is unafraid to
Use his knowledge.

Taxes Slowly
Coming In
Not Nearly SO Many Paid
as at This Time Last
Year

The county treasurer reports
that the taxes are being paid
very slowly this year. On a
comparison with last year at this
time there is hardly one-half OF
the amount paid. The non-resi-
dent tax payers are much more
prompt than the residents tax
payers, and unless a greater eff
fort to get the money to the
treasurer is made a great amount
of work will accumulate in the
last few days or many delin-
quencies will result.
This complaint is made by the
many of the treasurers through
out the state and the cause is
attributed to the scarcity of
money. 1t may work a hard
ship on many, but according to
the law, unless the taxes are
paid at the time required, they
must become delinquent and the
penalty and interest is attached.

The disbarment proceedings
brought by the supreme court,
against Judge Peter Breen of
the third judicial district was
heard at Carson this week. In
the answer filed by Judge Breen,
he disclalms any intention of in
any way rejecting discredit upon
the supreme bench or any of its
members, and alleges as his rea-
son for having his remarks in
corporated in the minutes of the
court, that he did not wish them
to be misconstrued. Time has
been given the respective attor-
neys in the case in which to file
briefs.

Considerable of the Cook.

This story may sound a bit fishy,
but it is true, nevertheless" said a
clerk at the National hotel. "a few
days ago a young man came in and
registered and 1 Immediately sized him
up as a resident of the rural districts.
He was very verdant and that was
demonstrated beyond a doubt later
when he asked me what time dinner
would be ready. l told him the hours
for meals and he left the desk. Short
ly afterward he came back. 1 saw
there was something on his mind and
thought I'd help him out.
els there anything 1 can do for
you, sir? 1 inquired.
"'Well, I Dunno he replied, but
was just thinking I'd tell you I won't
be here at dinner time, so you needn't
bother about waiting for me. I've got
to meet a Teller about the time you
said was meal time and I don't know
whether Eli be able to get back.
don't want to put folks to any trouble
so you had better tell the cook about
it. 1 guess 1 can get along without
dinner for one day, anyhow

so considerate of the cook" unused the

Real Name of "Gui11otine."

The nickname "guillotine" might
have been "louisette"-and would have
been if DR.. Guillotin's own wishes had
been consulted. He neither died by
the guillotine nor invented it, in spite
of the popular legend on both points.
What lie did was to carry in the con-
stituent assembly of 1889 his proposal
that decapitation should be the form
of capital punishment for all classes,
and no longer the privilege of the arts
tocracy, and to propose, on the ground
of humanity, that machine should be
substituted for the AK or sword.
Unfortunately his remark, with my
machine 1 have your head off in the
twinkling of an eye, and without your
feeling the least pain," eXtinguished his
motion in laughter. But afterwards
DR.. Louis, secretary of the Academy of
Surgeons, to whom the question was
referred, recommended such a machine,
rough forms of which had been used in
Scotland, England, and other coun-
tries. So at first the national razor"
was called 4 "louiSette."
But Guillotin's remark was remem-
bered, with "guillotine" as the result
to his deep horror and disgust.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Tribe Committed suicide.

In consequence of the wording of
telegram, it is alleged that the Meth
erland troops in Bali got Achin (this
is LOO miles away from Bali), slaugh-
tered about 400 people, among them a
majority of women and children. The
death of so many human beings is sad
enough, without the imputation of cru
city against the Netherland soldiers,
says the London Times. What happen
ed is this:
All students of Malay and Hindu his
tory know that one of the most horrid
customs in those countries is the poo
pootan," what l should like to call the
tribal suicide A Bali prince, with the
instincts of his warrior race, declines
to surrender, but prefers death, and he
with all his people seek death. The
prince of Badoeng did this. He turned
deaf ear to all suggestions of a set
tlement, but he and all connected with
him, men, women and children, COM
mitted suicide.
Nearly the same thing happened in
1895 in Lombok, a neigh5oring island.
The old king had surrendered, but one
of his sons, cripple, walked out with
all his relatives, dressed in gorgeous
garments, bedecked with all their jew
elry, and with their swords and lances
attacked the Dutch army, only to find
the death they courted. Those thai
were not killed in the fight were after
ward found to have killed themselves.

PRESIDENT. Baby Dress.

Mariana, the 16-months-old daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. Horace Whittlesey
of Emporia, Kan, is the owner of a
dress worn by William Henry Harri-
son, once president of the United
States, when he was baby in old Vir-
ginia days, says the New York Herald.
William Henry Harrison was born in
I7T3. Miss Ellen Windsor, who was
"Tippecanoe" Harrison's nurse, was
given the dress by the mother Of Mr..
Harrison. She, in turn, gave it to her
friend, Mrs. Chaplin, for her baby to
wear.
Years afterward Mrs. Chaplin passed
it on to her friend, Mrs. j. c. Whit
tlesey, and Horace Whittlesey was the
next baby to wear the little garment.
Mrs. Horace Whittlesey dressed little
Mariana in the famous frock the 9th
er day, but she didn't allow her to
make mud pies while she had it on
in fact, she wore it only half an hour,
and the dress was then put carefully
away.
The pretty little garment is made
with low neck and short sleeves and is
one piece from neck to hem. 1t is
shirred at the top, the hem finished
in genuine Mount Mellick embroidery
and French knots are scattered over
the dress. The material is the finest
linen.

Fifteenth Century manners.

The antiQuary took down a small,
fat volume, vellum-bound, with a brass
clasp.
This is Book of Manners he
said. ut was printed in 1476 Here
are a few extracts"
And he read:
do not gnaw a bone, like a dog,
nor suck the marrow out of bone.
I'm peeling a pear, begin at the
stalk; but with an apple, begin at the
top.
do not wipe the hands on the
clothes, nor suck them, but use the
cloth.
when you drink, lift the cup in
both hands; you must not drink with
one hand like wagner when he is
greasing his cart wheels.
wipe your nose and mouth when
you have drunk, and do not cough into
the cup.
do not eat an apple all alone, but
cut it in two and give a neighbor a
piece.
''Do not use your own knife to cut
your meat if the host has set a knife
of his own at your place.
do not spread butter on bread with
your thumb"

Moonshining in New York.

Don't talk to me about moonshin-
ing in Kentucky" said the internal rev
enue agent. There's more moonshin
ing going on all the time in little old
New York than could be done in ten
Kentuckys. In the crowded sections
of the east and west sides stills spring
up right along and for while conduct
a flourishing business in the low-grade
whisky they manufacture.
You see, it doesn't take much trcu-
BILE to equip a still with corn and yeast
and start in to make the mash which
is finally turned out as a pretty poor
sort of whisky. The great difficulty is
in getting rid of the peculiar smol-e
and odor from the stills without excit-
ing suspicion. This is usually attempt
ed by running the still in connection
with dye-shop or some other chemi-
cal enterprise as a blind. We keep
watch on all such establishments and
have the town well covered by sharp
eyed and sharp-nosed agents besides.
1--WE are constantly arresting these
small moonshiners and sending them to
Jail. But enough spring up in their
places for you to say with safety that,
as l say, there's more moonshining go
ing on in New York City right along
than there could be in ten Kentuckys."

The Evils of Constipation

are many; in fact almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation,
and some medicines, instead of pre-
venting constipation, add to- it. This
is true of most cathartics, which, when
first used, have beneficial effect, but
the dose has to be continually in
creased, and before long the remedy
ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one, preparation, however,
that can be relied upon to produce the
same results with the same dose, even
after fifty years daily use, and this
is Brandreth's Pills, which has rec
ord of over 100 years as the standard
remedy for constipation and all
toublesarising from an impure state
of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used and can be found in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.

Defining the Situation.

Henry B. Stanford, for several years
with Sir Henry Irving's company, tells
this good story of the famous actor:
"Sir Henry's wit was of an almost Vol
tartan character. Once, while 1 was
rehearsing Faust with him at the Ly
ceum Theater, in London-we were do
ing the Brockin scene and he had &C.
casion to reprove an army of exuber-
ant supers-he stopped the rehearsal
and all was silence. Then, in that quiet,
grim way of his, he said: Very charm
