"Success is a mixture composed
OF so per cent brains and SO per
cent hard work"
There are about twenty schools I
that have not yet secured teachers.
Pres. Wenzlaff of the Springfield
Normal is taking up his work with
a zeal and earnestness that bodies
we'll for the institution.
Misses Margaret Williams and
Grace Morrison are teaching the
third year in their respective
schools. This fact is indicative of
the praiseworthiness of these teach
ers and their respective school
boards.
Every school should be equipped
with a Webster's International die
tionary. This is a very useful and
necessary book for the schoolroom.
A poorly equipped school is like a
poorly equipped farm. See Sec.
145 of school law.
The boy or the girl who starts in
the first day and who is neither
absent nor tardy the whole term is
the boy or the girl who has the op-
portunity of getting the greatest
good from the school.
Every teacher should notify the
county superintendent of the open
ing of his or her school, at least by
the close of the first week. See
Sec. 1877 Of the school law. Use
blank furnished in teachers book
of blanks. These may be had by
calling for them from the clerk.
From the standpoints of attend
ance and interest, the following
teachers have an almost perfect
institute record for this year: Mar
garet Williams, Katherine Daub,
Bertha Eads, Agnes Abbott,
Blanche Renner, Mary b., Wood,
Elizabeth Wagner, Orpha Pegley,
G. G. Carkuff, Matte McBurney,
Edith Stevens, Jessie Gardner,
Mary Juran, Nellie Sutten, Lula
Morgan, Katherine Hebner, Stan
ley Kramar, Boletta Bruce, Nora
Patten, Frances Minnich, Anna
Sneider, Anna Libertin, Joe VALID
ner. 1t is to be regretted very
much that unavoidable circum-
stances prevented several very ear
nest conscientious teachers from
earning a place in the above list.
1t is very encouraging to note
the large number of districts that
are beginning their schools earlier
than usual, and also, the increased
number that have heightened their
terms from one to two months. It
is q great advantage that the
schools be started early SO that the
small pupils may get a good start
before the older ones come in and
take up much Of the teachers
time. The increase in length of
term is simply giving each child a
little more of what he is really en-
titled to.
In the institute work, Mrs. L. ST.
Cooper, head of the training de-
partment of the Springfield Nor
NAL, demonstrated her superior fit
ness for the position which she
holds. The class Of beginners
which she taught before the teach
ers made the best Of progress, and
many Of the teachers remarked tkat
they received many valuable sug-
g~estions and ideas from that work.
The fact that during her class PEI.
RODS there was rarely a vacant
seat in her class room, and that
almost every n Of the normal
students at the institute was a
member of several Of her classes,
is proof Of the high esteem in which
her work is held,

were present beside all the cottage
people Of the West End and along the
north road as far as Noddle Head.
One most touching and amusing incl
dent of the evening was the attention
given to nest Of barn swallows which
was suspended to the ceiling In a
grape basket. The mother and two
young birds looked down on the dane
ers doubtless with wide open eyes Of
wonder as they had supposed their
nest was built in a barn. The fact
that contractor III. 8. Hamilton had the
nest saved when the old ceiling was
torn out after the barn was moved and
the alterations were being made, ac-
counted for the birds presence. They
evidently felt that their rights were
usurped, but the nest was intact and

"Eitheru and HNeither.u

There are two or three things about
these two words that one should re-
member. In the first place, they should
never be used in connection with more
than two things-as: 1T was either
Tuesday or Wednesday," not "either
Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday" cit
was neither Tuesday nor Wednesday,"
not neither Tuesday, Wednesday nor
Thursday" Then, either should not be
used In the sense Of each, as "they
walked on, one on either side of the
road" 1t should be one on leach"
side Of the road. The third caution is
about the pronunciation. Some per-
sons insist that they should be pro-
nounced either" and "ni-ther," with
the ''i' long. But this is more an af-
fectation perhaps than anything else.
The best authorities agree that the
right pronunciation is "e-ther" and
"ne-ther."-New York World.

A Famous Reoimen..

1t is doubtful if any other one regi-
ment furnished an equal number of
distinguished officers during the civil
war as did the Second United States
cavalry. Among the officers were Al
bert Sidney Johnston. colonel; Robert
E. Lee. lieutenant colonel; William j.
Hardee, brevet lieutenant colonel;
George H. Thomas. major. Robert e
Lee and A. S. Johnston became gen
erals in the Confederate army. and
Hardee became lieutenant general
Thomas became distinguished gen.
eral in the Federal army. Among the
captains were Earl Van Dorm, E. Kir-
by Smith and N. G. Evans. all of whom
became generals in the Confederate
army. l. N. Palmer, George Stoneman
and r. w. johnson held the same po-
sitions in the Union army. Among the
subalterns John B. Hood, Charles W.
Field. Chambliss and Phifer became
southern generals, and R. Garrard and
others attained the same place in the
northern army. Captain Evans left
the United States service before Col
onel Robert E. Lee did. and when they
parted at Fort Mason, Tex. Colonel
Lee said: I'm sorry to give you up.
Evans. Don't know what may happen
before we meet again. Perhaps they'll
make you general"

The humor Of school and college ex-

high schools where girl in the de-

found to contain the following SEN

she stole her soldiers food" The
teacher who conducted these examina-
lions was puzzled to know just whence
this particular information had perco-

her up, she asked the question.

Jacob P. Palmer Dies at Fairfax.

Jacob P. Palmer, proprietor OF the
Ryan hotel at Fairfax. and 20 years
ago aresident of this city, died at his
home in Fairfax on the 9th instant,
from blood poisoning, the alleged
result of treatment received at the
hands of the notorious CDR" Till,
the Somerset, Wis. healer. AS told
by the Franklin Tribune, Palmer
had been suffering with stomach
trouble for ten years, and when he
arrived at Somerset and his turn
came the usual plaster was placed
upon his back. Mr.. Palmer fingered
in Somerset for a few hours in or
der to make the drive to Saltwater,
a distance of Is miles, in the bus with
Mrs. VIM. Caven of Fairfax, and
Miss Schroedel, blind girl of Glib
bon, who was being treated by Till.
Mr.. Palmer was taken suddenly
i'll on the road, and as soon as Still
water was reached medical assistance
was summoned, and later was taken
to the city hospital at Saltwater.
Louis Palmer, brother, went down
Friday, and Saturday Mrs. j. P.
Palmer and A. Altman left for the
sick mans bedside. They returned
to Fairfax with him Saturday even
ing. DR.. Jones of Gaylord was call
ed in consultation with DR.. Lee and
the diagnosis developed that Mr..
Palmer was suffering from a severe
case of blood poisoning brought on
by this plaster which Till had placed
upon his back. Everything was
done to stay the spread of the dis
ease, but to no avail, and Mr.. Pal
mer passed to the great beyond

Jacob Palmer was born in Kahn,
Switzerland, June 9Th, 1857. He
came to America with his parents in
1865. The family located in Nicollet
county, near St. George, on a farm.
From st. George they removed to

years Mr.. Palmer had been resi-
