profuse apologies and he gives an illus-
tratiN" anecdote from the experiences of
Bishop clarkson on the plains of Nebras-

1T seems that on one occasion the
plshop was due to preach at Il certain
town on the prairies of Nebraska. 1t was
IN the spring. and the mud was up to the
hubs ~ places. Already il was growing
dark. and the lights of the village which
the bishop wa. trying to reach seemed
stu a long way off. He became "a LITTLE
nervous lest he should ne late for his an
pointment. Just then they encountered a
mud hole, and the stagc-coach stuck fast.
The driver laid on the lash: but i'm vain.
the horses would not move. The bisllop
was on the box with the driver, who was
getting desperate. Unable to stand it
Longer. he turned to the bishop and said:
DO you see those wheelers looking,
back at me-
Yes. Harry. What does that mean?'
Bishop. you know 1 have always tried
to treat YOU right. and ] respect your
cloth. But do you say you want to preach
IN that there town tonight?'
or course I do. Harry. why don't
you whip your horses"
Whip 'em Bishop. Amt 7 been a.

The bishop felt the case to be ex-
tremc.
Well. Harry. I suppose I'll have to.

Harry ripped on, an oath, and the
horses got down on their launches. clear

mean the educational work being
done by his department among
the farmers. He stated that
what was needed more than any

attractive to the young man
and the old, too, was more animal
labor and less hard work and
the application of business me-

Progress" Secretary Bentley
in introducing him said that it
was a reflection on Louisiana
that the compensation for the
services of the State Superinten-
dent ofEducation Is so small, and
that another State can reach out
and take him away.
Mr.. Aswell. after presenting
statistics of the public school
system for the last two years,
called attention to- the fact that
schools were still crowded,
teachers poorly paid and some
school houses unfit for use.
He then asked the pointed ques-
tions, will you stand for more
professors in the educational
system of the State and are you
willing to paw the price," Con-
tinuing he said:
II want to tell you something, I am
not allowed to discuss this matter, but
II were allowed to discuss it this is
what would say: That $50, 900 is paid
every year out of the public school
funds in the shape of commissions to
men who handle that money for the
State"
