RABBITS ARE HARD FIGHTERS.
The Charge of cowardice slander--
Defeat of a Ferret.

Tell man that he hasn't the pluck
Sf a rabbit and if he doesn't disprove
It by hitting you he is certain at any
.ate to be extremely annoyed.
Yet the taunt is a libel on the rab-
bit A doe rabbit will fight like fury
In defense of her young. She will
charge like a battering ram and use
those long sharp incissors of hers to
capital purpose.
An old buck rabbit is not to be light
ly tackled by weasel, stoat or even fer
ret On the sanded floor of a small
public house near Chestnut ferret Of
long experience was matched with an
old lop-eared buck, the property of the
landlord.
The ferret made straight for the rab-
bits throat, but the latter was in the
air before master ferret could reach
him, and leaping clean over the fer
ret's head let out with those powerful
hind legs of his a kick which hurled
the ferret bodily against the wains-
cot. Twice the ferret returned to the
attack and twice he missed his grip
and went hurtling through the air.
The third repulse was enough for
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded to stand up
for a fourth round. - Pearson's

HAT BROKE UP THE CONCERT.
Remarkable Headgear Responsible for
Spelling Performance.

A story has reached this country OF
a hat which spoiled an afternoon per-
fdrmance at a small French play
house. 1t appears that in the absence
Of an orchestra lady presided over
the piano. She was neither young,
pretty nor talented, and not wishing
to pass unnoticed conceived the idea
of wearing hat that would attract
the attention of the audience.
In this she was successful. The hat
looked like a good-sized umbrella cov-
cred with flowers, ribbons and birds.
AS the lady took her seat the surprise
it caused hushed the audience into
silence; when, however, the pianist
struck the first notes and the flowers,
ribbons and birds began mad dance,
the storm broke loose and the laughter
at last grew so terrific that the curtain
was lowered to give the spectators an
opportunity of regaining their compos-
ure. They never regained it, the per-
formance was spoiled and the authors
are suing the director for damages

DEGREES THE PERPETUAL GRIN.
Writer Takes Issue with Man Who
Says "keep a-SmIine."

A favorite motto with many people
in these latter days, when the whole
some gospel of cheerfulness is being
preached SO extensively, is, Keep a.
smiling" 1t is very good motto
within limitations. In so far as its
adoption as a rule of conduct prevents
the wearing of lugubrious counte-
nance when no overwhelming grief or
calamity is being endured or is i'm
pending, in so far as it overcomes the
tendency to look on the dark side and
anticipate evil, in SO far as it enables
one to look for the best in all situa-
tions and to keep up his courage when
troubles threaten-in all these re-
spects it is a maxim worthy of COM
mendation.
But it should not be interpreted too
literally; its spirit rather than its let
ter should be observed. Its spirit
means a persistent hopefulness, a re-
fusal to be cast down by discouraging
or unfayorable circumstances, a sturdy

observance may include these things,
but it means also perpetual grin, and
perpetual grin leads to thoughts Of
crime on the part Of beholders. No
one becomes so irritating or has such
maddening effect upon sensitive as
Sociates as the man or woman who
wears the smile that never comes
off. f."-Indianapolis Star.

known to their relatives and friends

could describe his worth or make our
sorrow less. Flowers from those who

For Your Health.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way to moods never amount to much,
because they are never masters of
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or
depressing influence on the people
around them. II they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; If they
feel like Swapping" at everybody,
they will snap.
People who suffer from moods"
should be careful about their habits.
They should be regular about meals,
sleep, exercise and work. The condt
tion of the health has much to do with
moods, and there is nothing that con
tributes SO much to health as abso-
Lutte regularity.

Proxy Pilgrims.

There are men who make their liv.

over and over again, the difficult pill.
grimage to Mecca. These wanderers
are called proxy pilgrims.
No Mahometan, no matter how good
his life, can be sure Of going to

grimage. But the long pilgrimage
takes time and money. Hence a priest
discovered that it could equally well
be made by proxy. And now from
Constantinople, from Cairo, from
Jeddah the caravans to Mecca are
mostly made up of proxies. A pill.

SeagulIs of AuchmithIe.

In the fishing village of Auchmithie
you may frequently witness seagulls
flying into the houses of the fisher
men and partaking of food from their
hands. One of these sea birds was in
the habit of staying in fisherman's
house all the year round except at
the breeding season, when it left.
About a fortnight ago, while the gull
was away, the fisherman removed his
home some three and half miles
from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see
his old friend the gull again. It was
therefore, much to his astonishment
that he beheld on a recent Sunday
the sea bird come walking into his
new residence with stately steps to
resume his old familiarities and house
hold ways.

Country constables who make a
living arresting speeding automobiles
wouldn't have half so much trouble
stopping the scorchers if they used a
little ingenuity" says one of the Of
tenders. "Chains across the road and
moving vans blocking the highway are
all right to accomplish the purpose,
but they're cumbersome. My idea for
causing a prompt slow-up is to scatter
a lot of grain in road and turn lot
of hens loose. They would block the
road all right, and if there's one thing
that will make a chauffeur slow up it's
a hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
hen always runs the wrong way, and
If the machine is going at any speed
usually ends up under the wheels. Hit
ting hen will sometimes throw the
front wheels cut Of line and cause the
car to swerve, so drivers almost inva-
riably slow up and give poultry a
chance to get out of the way. A hen
speed trap is great idea, to my way
of thinking, and, of course, if one of
the birds were killed the cost could
easily be added to the drivers fine"

IRONTON. MO. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1908.

immediate intellectual test in work
is not the true test-the true test
in educational efficiency is what
the boy is and does as a man.
No life successes have ever in one
whit proven that the pupil who
could best perform I'd few sums,
or spell the most correctly, was
through this ability any more
likely to win the plandits OF his
race. The professioh has become
SO feminized that men have felt
loss of social standing while en-.
gagged as teacher"
These facts, if facts they be, lead
to the conclusion that the femin-
ization at the schools finds a re-
action in men that is away from
schools and school teaching, and
toward occupations that are mas
culine in type and character.
They do not care to come in COM
petition with women in field of
labor that has been fashioned by
women after their own likings.
The elementary schools are prac-
tically monopolized by the wom-
en- and less than 35 per cent. of the
whole number of teachers employ
edsin the High Schools are men.
If the present rate of decrease con-
tinue soon no male teacher of good
quality will survive.
Another answer to the question
is presented in the unstableness
OF the profession in its personnel.
In this country few men or wom-
en- enter upon teaching to make
it life work. This has been true
in the past and is yet; but not in
as great degree. In the beginning
of free schools in this country,
the clergyman was usually the
school master. The teaching was
to him a secondary consideration.
In that work he was simply side
stepping to meet condition little
else to him than an emergency.
Soon the young college graduate
came into the work. He had no
other purpose than to follow teach
ing to earn the ready cash neces-
sary to enable him to enter upon
his life work. True, he often
taught better than he knew, he
was honest, conscientious, full of
energy and from constant conta ct
with the hard sides of life on the
farm and during his college course,
he was resourceful. He left the
school better than he found it.
Many of the men who figured
largely in making this great ma
tion that we have, bfidged over
from college course TO a chosen
profession by teaching; rarely did
a young graduate of those days
become attracted to the teaching
profession. Professional schools
or Normal Schools, were so long
delayed in their appearance that
the idea of unstableness became
generally associated with the oc-
cupation of teaching. In some
foreign countries teaching has a
stability because it has govern
ment recognition and authority
back of it. There is a fixedness
in the tenure of Office and the peo-
pie regard the teacher as nee
essary government employee pre-
pared by the government to dis
charge an important duty in train
ing the future citizens of the state.
Not SO in this country. Our ideas
are SO far from such a condition
that Normal School graduates are
not regarded as professionalists
in the same sense that the gradu-
ates from a medical college or a
law school are regarded.
