all.
Reports of Committees were now
called for and embodied resolu tions of
thanks to all who had in any way
contributed to the success of the
institute of 1908, and of sympa thy to
the family of Stanley Lucas who had
been called away by death.
Dean Minnich, who also wished to
leave by certain car, talked briefly
on the "Duties of Citizenship" and
urged that largeness of view which
would make one not citizen of his
own county or state only, but of the
world. Showed the necessity for, and
utility of such citizenship since mod
ern advancements in modes, speed of
travel brought the remote parts of
the earth into nearness. In fit and
touching words he voiced his interest
in and for all in any way connected
with Highland county where ten of
his happiest years had been spent in
her "Hill City" and assured us that
the "helping hand" was extended to
aid all the teachers. The best part
of his talk was the evidence that his
words we're not perfunctory state
ments given as pleasant closing to
his weeks work but that they we're
sincere and given out to the people
lmong which he had lived, because
he felt just so.
Pres Yochum then called Miss

out as sweet tones as has been heard

thusiastic encore brought response

had never closed it's meetings with
such sweet music in its ears.
Pres Yochum now declared the
1908 n. @. T, L. session closed and soon
the teachers had dispersed al the
better for the excellent work of Dean
Minnich and DR.. Hulley.

SOME CAUSE FOR HIS DISLIKE.
Bachelors Explanation of His An
tipathy to All Children.

Il hate children" he said.
"Why?"
Il think they ought to be locked up
in asylums till they're old enough to
take care of themselves. If it hadn't
been for child-well, it might have
been"
"What?"
Il loved the child's mother. She
was a rich and beautiful widow, and
l was madly in love with her. I was
actually contemplating fact, l had
just got to the point of putting the
delicate question. We were in the
drawing-room. The child was playing
in the corner. Forgetting all about
that, put my arm fervently round the
widows waist and implanted a pas
siOnate kiss upon her lips, when the
child started up and rushed at me
saying: Don't you kill my mammal
and ran screaming into the kitchen
calling for the servants.
But the worst came few nights
after. l called at the house. There
were several ladies there, and the
child was being petted all round. OF
course, the widow was friendly but
that child deliberately turned her back
upon me. l didn't mind that; but the
mother, to be nice, said: My darling
child, don't you know Mr.. Blank?'
oh. yes. said the imp very pertly.
oh, yes, know you! You are the man
that bited my mammal! l need not

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
rine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg.
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womanany daymay
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pnkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is so
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing Ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

Origin of Pommes souffIes.

With reference to the flftieth ami
versary of the first railway in France,
French contemporary points out
that it was in connection with this
event that the virtues of pommes souf-
fies were discovered. A French chef
was travelling on the new line from
Paris to St. German, and was pre-
pairing in the train the banquet which
was to celebrate the opening. Just be-
fore arriving at st. German he threw
some potatoes in the boiling butter.
The train, however, was delayed, and
the potatoes had to be taken out
again. When the train restarted the
potatoes were once again put in the
boiling butter, and to every ones de-
light were found, on being taken out,
to be deliciously light and inflated.
The beauties of the pomme souf-
fle had been revealed.-London Globe.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KID
That Is the Third of the Series of
Questions Asked.

This is said to have really happened
in a New York public school, and
to have nearly cost the innocent by
stander," which happened in this case
to be the boys teacher, her license,
her position, and goodness knows
what ALL One of the members of the
board at that time, who spoke with a
slight brogue, visited a schoolroom
and gave out this problem:
''If half a gill costs a half mill,
what will pint COST"
On the back seat a little freckle
faced boy with one front tooth missing
scrubbed away like mad. then folded
his hands and sat up.
''Ah," said the board member, there
is bright little boy who, has finished
the problem already. Bring me your
paper, my little man, and let me see
what you have said.'
The boy came, and here is what he
wrote"
IF brick hit Mick, what would
happen to the brick?"
