Had TO Lick Somebody.

BY the laws of Maryland, corporal
punishment in the public schools of
that State is forbidden. This pro-
hibition was much condemned by
many of the teachers with oldfash-
Toned ideas, especially by a teacher
in one of the schools on the eastern
shore some weeks ago. He was a
strapping big fellow and it was
lucky for his pupils, who were rather
a rough lot, that they were protect
ed by the aforementioned law.
The teacher did the best he could,
under the circumstances, but, moral
suasion proving of little avail, he fl
nally laid his case before the board
of trustees.
Gentlemen" said he, after a re-
cital of his trials, those boys must
be licked"
You can't do that" replied the
chairman.
Then you must assist me in con-
trolling them"
That, sir" observed the chairman,
testify, sis what you are employed TO
do"
I'm that case" continued the teach
er, you must allow me to lick them. -
Corporal punishment is against
the law" insisted the chairman.
Then, gentlemen" concluded the
teacher, with considerable emphasis,
someone must be licked, and | want
to say right here that the next time
| have trouble with my boys I'm
going to lick a trustee. AS / have
trouble about once a day, each one OF
you may expect, on the average, one
licking per week. | reckon there S

HUGE BLACKSNAKE
Stopped the Town Clock and Then
Chased Jeweler Through a
Steeple Window.

Glasgow, KY, Feb. 2S.-At Lancas-
ter, Garrard county, Z. w. Morrow, a
jeweler, has charge of the town clock
in the high tower of the courthouse
and when 1t stopped he investigated.
AS he reached the platform upon
which rests the clock he was Mortified
to see a huge blacksnake struggling
in the mechanism of the instrument.
In his fright the jeweler grasped the
rod which operates the hands on one
of the clocks faces and gave it a
powerful wrench, which released the
snake. The reptile rolled to the floor
and started after Morrow. The space
in the tower is small, and the race
around the clock was exciting. There
are several small windows in the
steeple. The jeweler quickly unfast-
ened one and climbed through to the
cornice.
Once on the outside, he soon at
tracted the attention of the people on
the street, 100 feet below. and David
Ross, the jailer, went to his rescue.
When the jailer saw the snake coiled
and watching the window through
which Morrow had escaped, he drew
3S-caliber revolver from his pock-
ct and fired five bullets into the rep
tiles body, killing it. Ross then as
sisted Morrow from his perilous posi-
ton.
Morrow says the tower Is favor
tie roosting place for birds, and he
thinks the snake had been feeding on
them. The snake was one of the
longest blacksnakes ever seen in this
section, and DIR. Hood is preparing
the skin that 1t may be stuffed.

Mother Died of Broken Heart.

On the Sth page of The Herald last
week was an account of a little hey
dropping dead while being whipped
by his teacher. The following is
another little chapter in the sad af-
fair:
Ravenna, Ohio, February 26.-FOl-
lowing the tragic death of her son,
Robert Finch, the fourteen-year old
Ravenna schoolboy who fell dead
when his teacher was administering
rebuke for misbehavior last Thurs
day, his mother, Mrs. George Finch,
aged 35 years, suddenly expired in
the door-yard of her home to-day.
Her death is attributed to a broken
heart.
Mrs. Finch had grieved deeply over
her boys death, saying to a friend
yesterday that she felt her own life
was soon to end. The teacher was
one of those who sought to console
her, but the heartbroken mother was
inconsolable.

A VETERAN.

The lawyers cross-examined him, they
tried their best to shake
The evidence that came from him
they couldn't find a break;
He stuck to all his story; stuck to
it all the while,
Although they tried to rattle him by
legal art and vile.
The lawyers tried a dozen ways to
get upon his nerves,
They called in their assistants, and
they brought in their reserves,
They tainted him with this and that,
they TESTED and they jeered,
They laid a hundred cunning traps,
they snickered and they sneered.
The lawyers questioned him about
each day of his career,
They made him prove each incident
in every bygone year;
They tried to tear his testimony into
flimsy shreds,
He weathered every storm and turned
their blasts upon their heads.
The lawyers sighed and gave 1t up,
they couldn't twist his mind,
And as he left the room lawyer fol-
lowed him to find
The secret of his wondrous trait of
memorizing facts
And being able to recall his smallest
words and acts.

During an epidemic Of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use OF
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as a remedy fol grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, q course Of Peruna
should be resortea to.

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP

La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known as grip
i used TO be called influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in it's hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches it from the
atmosphere.

has contributed to a number of leading

cine that have ever tried for la grippe.

tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
ain consequence, an inflamed condi-
ton of the throat was brought about,

Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous men,
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectusl barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, il there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing 10 do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.

The other night about 9 O'Clock
a couple of nearly grown boys
stood near the new tlnk building.

Brought about by the enterprise Of

AS the cat neared a point in front
of F. L. Milier's stole, in some un-
accountable manner a few extra
volts of electric fluid escaped from
the power house at Albany and
cast mellow glow upon the s,ene.
1t was not bright light, but even
that surprised the cat to such an
ext. .nt that it became bewildered.
and, again, it was sufficient to dis

county levy. Notification of the
state levy was received some time
previously and the time limit for
all sE ial road and school levies
to be reported has expired. The
tax situation for the year can there
fore be figured out pretty closely.
The amount Of state tax to be
raised in Benton county is $40, 7o5,
aud for this pu1 pose a levy of 4.S
mills is made on a property valua'
ton Of S4,533,2I5. In 1905 the
total valuation of Benton county
assessable property was s.. 22S. $50
and the safe levy vas 81 mills.
The property valuation this year
i; $780,. .9o5 greater than last year,
and the pre;ert state levy is 1.6
mills greater than last year.
The county levy is ia mills as
folio ws-for general purposes, SIS;
school, 3.8 mills, road, 2 mills;
total state and county, 1862 mills.
This road tax, how yer, is not ap-
plicable N incorporated towns as
in Corvallis and Philomath. In
these there is levy by the coun-
Gil for s,teet work in lieu of road
tax. County general, road and
library levies are same as last year.
In the city of Corvallis the levy
for general purposes is S mills, and
for stre ct fund mills. The lev !
of S mills for general purpose:
seems to be fixed rate in this city
That is the maximum allowed by
the charter and it has been many
years since there has been a lowel
rate. The total valuation of assess
able property in Corvallis is $500,
900. Last year it was $786, $3.50
an increase of 5000. For th'
general fund the levy will ra's'
$3.50; for street fund, ST., $50

of Philomath is IL mills.
