Couldn't Scare Them.

A dispatch from Hnron, S. D., say:
| the story of the kidnapping Of two
Eastern school teachers by member:
the school board Of az adjoining
township because OF the scarcity o1
teachers has brought flood OF let
tiers to Superintendent Dubois, OF the
Huron schools from young women in
the East who want positions as teach
ers where they will have chance to
be kidnapped.
One young lady from Trenton. n.
J., writes: "If a school teacher has
a chance to be kidnapped, I will come.
I regret exceedingly that my people
required me To spend so many years
al school and college at great expense
only to make me a school teacher,
now on the verge Of spinsterhood.
They might better have allowed me
to become the consort Of some man
worthy Of me-.
Another young lady. writing from
Camden, n. j., came right out and
says: II would like school for a
year or so, but could not contract un-
less the school is in community
where there are good many bachelors
OF some means, for teaching school is
not the only object have in going
West''
Another young lady writing from
Evansville, IEdiana says: II wish
to be kidnapped from Evansville. I
have no objection to frontier life:
in fact think l would enjoy the ex-
citemenu and freedom usually had by
pioneers. It would be particularly
delightful to me- I am sure, if my
lot could be with a community where
there are a number of brave, hardy
young men-young fellows with snap
and energy. Can you provide school
for me in such a settlement?''
These young ladies are sure to be
kidnapped should they &C to Huron,
but as that seems to be what they
want it will suit all around. It is
said that il some parts of the West
ladies are so scarce that it is impossi-
BILE to keep the schools open, the teach
ers getting married few months af-
ter arrival from the East. Some OF
the school boards gave it out that
they did not want good looking teach
ers, but it did no good, the ugly ones
got husbands as readily as preety
ones.

Inrention of Bells.

Paulinus, Bishop Of Nola in Cam
pania. invented bells about the year
400. Originally they We're used In
churches as a defense against thN1-
der and lightning. The first bell IN
England was hung in Croyland Ao-
hey at Lincolnshire in 94o.
About the eleventh century 1t be-
came a peculiar custom to oap'ize
bells In churches before they were
used. Musical bells and chimes were
invented In Belgium in 1907. The
curFaw bell was established In 1868.

1t is generally supposed that the
gunner sights these immense cannon

Such Is not the case, however. An
illustration Of the method employed
is shown here, the apparatus being
the invention of gunner in the
United States Navy. The apparatus
1s exceedingly complicated and Is
practically useless in the hands Of a
novice. In one hand the gunner
grasps an ordinary pistol. This pis-

The most popular OF American
poems Is rank plagiarism
Those verses, the chaste sentt-
ment embodied in which have sunk
most deeply into the heart OF the
American people, and which, In a
lustrous musical setting, have
proved an inspiration and a Joy to
the multitude, are stolen goods.
It's successive appearances. with
the names of It's various sponsors,
are as follows:
Byron.
Cast of and scorned, a dull and
heavy clod
He sits, with feet upon the mantel-
piece
And sucks his pipe and seeks the
Land OF Nod
Heartsick, Of work, at home he
Graves surcease.
The empires. Rome, Assyrta. Car
thage, Greece
Are naught to him. He only cares
to see
His wife and Sister Anna to1ling DER
The wastub. Dio mio! Let me fee
With heart-strings rent to some
italian shore.
Where Love and Light prevail and
washtubs rule no more.
Swinburne.
Washing the clothes,
She washed and found them foul,
The sordid sock and 'kerchief cheek
by jowl.
Adown her arms the suds like sea-
foam ran,
While from the sullen wringer Sister
Ann
Evoked a strain like laughter heard
in hell.
The Sire. Caliban of visage fell,
With feet upon the mantel all the
day
Drowsed on, communing, with his
pipe Of clay.
All. what is left of ,ife's Colour dc
rose?-
Washing the clothes.
Longfeilow.
When the warrior Of the nations,
Stained with blood, came back from
battle,
scornfully their way they wended
To the lodge of old Noworkis.
There they threw their shirts OF
deerskin
TO the sQuaw antique and hideous.
Weearily she took In washing.
So did Sister Anniehaha
| (This is French for soap and water).
Scornfully they saw the old man
With his feet against the smoke-flue
Blowing clouds from out his smoke
pipe.
Frowning, ev'ryone departed
Saying I'm that wretched wigwam
All must toll except Noworkis."
"He's q hardnut," said the pine
trees.
Hes a loafer," said the water.
Walt Whitman.
Out Of the heart Of me
Wells this song, the song OF tho
toilers
Song OF the careworn mother, over
the clothes in the washtub bend
ing,
The sight Of her fills me with vast,
elemental sympathy.
Also my Sister Anna, brought up to
laundry work,
Brought up to patient endurance, to
yielding of life like martyr.
Also my father, who works not, but
with soul incapable Of virile
emotion,
Sits with his feet perched high. in-
pertube, lost, wrapt, his clay:
pipe lu1uNously putting.
O my song, my plant! No sunshine
Is In 1t.
Whoever you are! what can I offer
you but ashes-no JOY. no music
Only house roverty-stricken, where
all hands work but the Father,
Into the street rush and shout in
the madness Of sorrow.
