Teachers Meet.

The Obion Teachers Association
met last Saturday at Minnick. On
ly about fifteen teachers were pres
emit, but much interest was taken
in the discussions.
Supt. Cook spoke on the subject
Of Proper Seating.
c. L. Rulings, of Obion, discussed
the new school law, which Obion
County didn't get. 1t is somewhat
singular that every teacher to a
man is in favor Of that law and our
Senator opposed 1t. Many other
counties have adopted it, and such
counties are moving forward in
educational work, leaving Obion
behind, cropping in darkness.
When will Obion ever get out of
the rut?
Miss Willie Barrier read fine
paper on the Qualifications of the
Teacher Other than Literary r.
H. Bond spoke on Fraternity
Among Teachers. E, L. Hall de.

 OSCEOLA,S TRAGIC END.

Osceola went through many battles, but never despaired and never sur- rendered till the fearful battle came when the Indians were defeated by Gen. Taylor. Then the waters ran with the blood of Uncle Sam's quar- reling children, and Osceola's men were scattered to the four winds. Even then Osceola, would not have been captured, but for an act of trachery. He was asked to come to a conference at a camp not far from St. Augustine. He came with some of his warriors, trusting to the word of the commander but he and his com panions were at once surrounded and carried to St Augustine as prisoners of war. Our officers said it was right to do this, because Osceola had not kept his promise in peace or war, but we do not like to think that the offi- cers and agents of Uncle Sam broke their word, even if an Indian chief did not keep his. Though Osceola fought in the Indian way, and hated the treatment that the white people gave the Indians, still we know he did not hate the white women and children, and constantly told his war riors to treat women and children with kindness.
 After he was taken to St. Augustine he was in a sad condition. His spirit was broken by defeat and imprison- ment and he grew feeble as he real ized there was no escape. When he was taken to Fort Mopltrie in Char .leston harbor he knew that he should never see his own land again. Then he refused food, would see no visitors and died, broken-hearted, after a short illness, aged 3S. He was a brave enemy and respected as he had been by the Indian nation, his manly nature was too proud to be long un-' der the control of the white man.

"A WOMAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE PHILIPPTNES' by Florence Kim ball Russell, author of Born to the Blue" with many illustrations from original photographs; Boston; L. c. Page &t Co.,, at Judd's. $175
 A decidedly interesting book, all the more so as the author tells what she actually saw in her Journeys in the Philippines not what she had imagined she was going to see or what she had expected to see and because there are no politics in it to color it this way or that. And the author tells her story of travel with engaging frank ness. She pictures capitally the fn- cidents she met with. The result is a very agreeable as we'll as informing book. Her sense of humor crops out now and then, adding to the pleasure of the reader. For instance she tells of an incident at Misamis. When the author and another American lady ex- pressed delight at being presented with some. Filipino hats, the women of that town wanted to know what they were going to do with them. Wear them ourselves? Oh, no, we hastened to explain, they were to dec crate our walls in America that all our friends might see what pretty hats the Filipino people wear. Dec crate the walls with hats? What a very curious idea! Suddenly one of them, most yivacious girl, and evidently the belle of the village, leaned over and in persuasive tones suggested that we women leave our hats, each real creations of millinery art for their walls"
 Mrs. Russell was a passenger aboard the United States cable ship Burnside the transformed Rita, captured from the. spaniards-Burns dis patched to the Philippine waters to link the islands of the archipelago together with the submarine telegraph line, Her husband was an officer of the ship, and she had, therefore am- pie opportunity for a close study of the Islands, for the ship put in at many ports during It's long cruise, and while the land ends of the cable con nections were being laid, held its an .ehorage long enough to permit fair

fool of footman in livery, Mrs. Whar- tons presence was not at all forrnid- able.''
 She came Into the room-a tall, slen- der, graceful woman, whose smile alone lent gaiety and youth to her face, which was otherwise serious, and even sad.
 It is Amelie Rives who has indicated the significant features of a woman's face when she wrote:
 For every woman hath some whisper

 Mrs Wharton has listened to her god.
 The author of ''The Valley of Decis- ion" has the long, oval face of the poet. There. is calm tension about her man ner in the expression of her face that no compromise of feeling can soften to mere emotional conflict. Her brown eyes are clear, searching, straightfor- ward, fearless, with the faint reminis- cenee of pain in them that attracts and mystffies. Her brows are delicate, arched autocratio, the expression of her mouth is challenge, intellectual ly severe. distinctly dangerous to the inefficient, to the untruthful, to the in- sincere. We had coffee on the broad terrace overlooking MT. Whar- tons estate, and as we fell under the spell of meadow reach and the hillside distances, the author of "The House of Mirth," now silent and thoughtful, seemed the embodiment of autumn reverie.

"TREAsvRE SEEKERS OF THE ANDES. OR AMERICAN BOYS IN PERU" by Edward Stratemeyer Fifth volume Of Pan American Series" fine- ly illustrated by Charles NUttall; $125; Lothrep, Lee Shepard Co, Boston.
 In this tale the well-known five young travellers, with their tutor, travel up the Maranon river to the head of navigation, and then make their way to the seacoast, visiting TruxiNo, Lima, and numerous other points of interest, and learning much of the various industries of the coun- try and also something of it's rather remarkable political history. From the coast the party travel again into the interior, and have several advent ures while in quest of game. One of the boys obtains possession of a secret regarding an ancient Spanish treasure said to be locaetd in the heart of the Andes Mountains, and, with com panion, goes in quest of the same and both get lost. The others, growing anxious, organize a searching party; and all fall in with 6 series of hap penings which make the volume more than ordinarily interesting. The in- formation in the book is from the most reliable sources and thoroughly up-to-date, thus making the volume one of permanent value outside of it's attractiveness as a bit of fiction. A reading of this book by any one in the least capable of judging from the point of view of a clean, bright boy will leave no doubt as to why MT
 StratemeYer is the most widely read of all American writers for boys.

THE ART OF THE PRADo," by C, s. Ricketts, illustratedi published by |. C. Page x Co.,, Boston; for sale by Judd.
 c. S. Ricketts has given an excel lent survey of the contents of one of the most interesting of European pict- ure galleries, together with detailed criticisms of its masterpieces and biographical sketches of the famous painters who produced them in this book.
 The erection of the Prado was be- gun early in the eighteenth century by Charles III, but was not finally opened to the public until 1919. The picture gallery containing about D. 900 paintings is the most important part of the Prado Museum and the nucleus of the collection was formed by Ferdinand II and was greatly en- riched by his successors especially Philip V, who added a large number of French pictures and later all pict- ures from the National Museum in Trinidad were added Although this Spanish treasure house is not so rich as the Louvre, the National Gallery or the Royal Gallery of Berlin, 1t con talns some of the work of the best painters, and among those mentioned in the book are Velasquez, Murillo, the Art of Goya, Titan, Rubens and Van Dyck. There are studies not only of the Spanish school but of the Ital- ian and early Venetian schools. The Madrid collection differs from others chiefly in the fact that Its greatest treasures came to 1t by chance and that until recent times no serious ef- fort was made to form it into a mod
