MAIDEN LOST HER SLIPPER.
And Young Man Who Rescued it Was
the EnVied of Ali Observers.

Everything about her bespoke the
returning Summer Girl as she tripped
blithely out of the Grand Central sta
ton, says the New York Press. In
one hand she carried a rather bulky
travelling bag, in the other she held a
gorgeously lowered silk sunshade, to-
gether with the ample reefs in her fur
beloved skirt and petticoats. The
daintiest pair of feet in tan slippers
1uttered from beneath the reefs as
she hurried through the throngs Of in
coming and outgoing passengers to-
ward Forty-second street car.
She was good to look at, despite the
deep tan of the summer sun and the
frieze of fragrant freckles across the
slightly upturned nose. AS she hoped
blithely into the first car that came
along it became instantly obvious to
other passengers that something had
gone wrong. They heard a shrill lit
tie soprano "Oh!" burst from her lips
as she looked around appealingly to
the car conductor, horror depicted in
every feature.
With a sudden jerk the car came to
a stop before it had gone ten feet, A
moment later a young man ran up to
the side of the car where she sat. He
raised his hat decorously as he handed
up to Miss Freckles a little tan slip
pert couldn't have been more than
a three-and-ahalf.
81 beg your pardon, miss" said the
young man, "but l think you must
have dropped this as you got on the
car"
"Oh, yes; thank you so much" MUIR
INJURED Miss Freckles, smiles and
bushes running riot over tan and
freckles, as she took the proffered slip
per and coyly popped it down where
it properly belonged.
sCan l be of any further service to
you, miss?" CALAMITY added the young
man, as daintily gloved hand started
on the mission of replacing the va
grant slipper.
ooh! dear me, no; thank you," re-
turned the girl, with the sweetest of
smiles.
And then the car sped on, leaving
the Slipper rescuer the envy of every
man aboard it.

In Memory Of DorOtha NARROW.

My heart is almost breaking with
loneliness tonight,
One year ago today the spirit of our
darling took it's flight
And she's gone to dwell with Jesus in
the mansions of the blest.
Where the Father in his mercy, giveth
his beloved rest,
Mid throng of happy angels in her
home beyond the skies,
She will sing through endless ages for
in heaven none ever dies,
Her young life went out SO early, she
has gone to her long rest,
But our heavenly father doeth, for his
children that is best.
When the angels stopped and whisper
ed, come up to the world of light,
Then the spirit of our loved one,
softly, gently, took its flight,
She is waiting for US dear ones, where
He tells us there's no night
Where the flowers will bloom forever,
and the sun is always bright,
Fol we read in Revelations, God
will wipe our tears away,
There IL be no sorrow, death, nor cry
ing in that land of endless day.
In that mansion Jesus went to prepare.
She is waiting for you and for me
over there,
In that beautiful land far up in the
sky where loved ones shall never
again say good by,
And my prayers to the Father tonight
is, Oh, take me to that shore,
With my arms around my darling,
ask for nothing more. Mother.

GRANT COUNTY LEADS.
Employs Larger Number of Rural Teach
ers Than Any Other County.

Madison, Wis. Nov. 16.-In respect
to the number Of rural school teachers
Grant County stands first in the entire
state of Wisconsin. Dane is second,
Dodge, third and Rock fourth.
This was disclosed by the annual
audit of expenses for county teachers
institute expenses as made by State
Superintendent Cary and filed with
the Secretary of State in accordance
with chapter 476, laws of 1905. For
each teacher reported the state pays
this year 90 cents toward expenses of
conducting the institutes. The total
number of teachers thus reported in
the state is 8, 695 and the total amount
of money apportioned is S., 999 56,
being as close to the SO, 600 appropria
tion as one could get. Dane and Rock
are the only two counties in Wiscon-
sin which have more than one county
school superintendent district. each
of these counties having two. This
audit is interesting as showing the
counties in which the rural school
system is strongest. While Milwau
kee is larger than any other county in
population and wealth, it does not
stand high in respect to rural schools.
The twelve leading counties in this
respect are as follows, together with
the number of teachers and contribu-
tion received by each:

further development of typhoid fever

Laboratory, and professor Of bacteri-

appearance of a number Of mild cases
of the disease which centered in one
of the boarding houses.
''Both the milk and water supplies,

eve believe that we have determined
the cause of the outbreak Of the
disease, which was brought to the
city from elsewhere, but we cannot
announce the result Of our inYestiga-
ton at this time.
THE investigation shows that there
is absolutely no cause fol alarm now,
and no danger of future infection.
Under the new system of reporting
all cases of student illness promptly
to the faculty committee on hygiene,
the possibility of similar difficulty
Will be minimized. "
