The Teachers Greed.

believe in boys and girls, the men
and women Of a great tomorrow; that
whatsoever the boy soweth the man
shall reap. believe in the curse of
ignorance; in the efficacy of schools;
in the dignity Of teaching, and in the
Joy Of serving others. l believe in
wisdom as revealed In human lives, as
we'll as In the pages OF the printed
book, in lessons taught, not SO much
by precept as by example: in ability
to work with the hands as well as
think with the head; in everything
that makes life large and lovely. l
believe in beauty in the school room,
in the home, in daily life and out of
doors. believe in laughter, in love,
In faith; in all ideals and distant
hopes that lure US on. I believe that
every hour Of every day we receive a
Just reward for all we are and all
We do. l believe In the present and
all Its opportunities; in the future
and its promises. and In the divine Joy
of hving.-Edwin Grover.

"Green grows the grass" surrounding
the Office of the Sentinel in Routt coun-
ty, and the editor of that sheet seems
to be troubled with an ailment that
makes the grass green. Judging from
the tone of his paper one would think
that he was pillar of the church. A
crusade is being made against the saloon
element of Brooklyn, suburb of Steam
boat Springs, by the church-going peo-
pie, to which the Sentinel is lending it's
heartiest support. A recent canvass of

hAzY AS TO THE cHAUrAuoUA.
May Be Doubted Whether Country
Visitor Was Of a Serious Mind.

Down in Georgia the citizens of q
thriving town of about 5000 people ar
ranged for Chautauqua assembly
last summer. They held the meetings
in big tent about mile from the
town, and the attendance was large
from the first day. An enterprising
circus man heard Of the large crowds,
and landed in the town on the second
day of the Chautauqua with steam
merry go-round, which he located about
halfway between the town and the
Chautauqua grounds.
Along in the afternoon a young man
from the country districts was ac-
costed by citizen of the town.

Hypnotism.

The actual foundation Of modern
hypnotic suggestion was discovered
by Liebault Of Nancy, the famous ia
ther Of the therapeutic application of
suggestion" After several years OF
practical experience. in 1866, Liebault
wrote his first book on the subject. It
was shelved and he was called q
lunatic. Hypnotism remained a curl.
osity and Liebaults book was not re-
produced till six years after Charcot,
In 1878, began his study Of hypnotism.
In 1884 Bernheim wrote his work on
suggestion. and this created a demand
for Liebault's book. which then gave
him his lasting reputation.-New

Word Curiosities,

An interesting word group in which
the entire alphabet is put into seven
words. and only 80 letters are used,
is: Burst, fed. Jingle, quip, vim. hack,
Eyxomma." This is the smallest num-
Der Of words that the alphabet can be
included in.
Two Ineligible sentences, however,
Of eight words and 80 letters apiece
have been found. They are:
Quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy dog"
Pack my boz with five dozen
liquor Jugs"
The first sentence is often used in
testing the types on typewriters, on
account OF the shortness and the fact
that 1t includes every letter and has
the advantage Of making sense.-Nev

Cheap Hom..Mad. Barometer.

A weather man described the other
day cheap homemade barometer.
He said 1t was only necessary to
take a piece Of string about Is inches
long and to soak 1t several hours in
a strong solution Of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have a light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against a wall, a mark
being made to show where the weight
reaches.

HUMAN STOMACH HAS
BECOME DEGENERATE
Animals Are Healthier Because of Strong
Digestive Apparatus.

An interesting interview was re.
Gently obtained with L. T. Cooper, the
young man whose theory and medi-
eines have created such a sensation
during the past year.
Mr.. Cooper, in speaking OF the re-
markable success Of his medicine, had
this to say on the subject: "My medi-
cine regulates the stomach. That is
why 1t is successful. The human stom-
ach today has become degenerate, and
is the cause for most III health. In
the horse, the dog, and the wild ami
mails generally, you see no nerve ex-
haustion, no chronic debility. They
are not shut up day after day with
practically no exercise, and they are
not able to stun themselves with food
when their bodies have not had enough
work to justify 1t. The human race
has been doing this for years, and
look at the result-half the people are
complaining Of poor health, not real
illness-just half-sick, tired, droopy
feeling. They don't really know what
is the matter with them.
J II know that all the trouble Is
caused by weak, overworked stom-
achs: l have proved this with my
medicine to many thousands of peo-
pie In most Of the leading cities Of
this country. expect to do the same
thing in Europe next year. This is
the real reason for the demand for
my preparation"

been converted to Cooper's theory is
