THE LONE TEACHER,

Inc trustees of certain school in
Lreso county are rending their raj
| boards.
Last year that school had fifteen
Pupils; and it was natural to suppose
that there would be as many at the
next session; so the trustees entered
INTO contract with radiant dam
children. and they were to furnish
1ueI Tor the abode of knowledge, and
pay her $40 month through the
term.
By a curious combination of cir
cumstances, the families to whom
those fifteen children belonged, have
al moved out of the district, and the
Iam1lles that moved in had no such
membranes, or blessings, and so the
only person who goes to that school is
the teacher, and she is having the
time of her life.
She arrives at the school at half
past in the morning. and makes a
nre, and has everything nice and coy
do not come. At the proper time she
rings the bell, and declares that
school is in session, and then, as the
hypothetical pupils get down to their
tasks, she reaches down into her va
Use and produces the latest work by
Laura Jean Libbey, or a copy of The
Complete Work of Nick Carter, and
reads until twelve, when she dismisses
school, eats her lunch and stirs up the
f1re. The same program obtains In
the afternoon. and the only thing that
worries her is the fact that she is
running short of detective stories.
The good old trustees are frantic
over this condition of affairs. and they
have written to. Superintendent Fair
child. who holds that the teacher is
entitled to her wages so long as she
appears at the school In time every
day, and goes through the motions OF
teaching children.
Alas for those trusteesl It is really
pity that there are men in Kansas
so stepped in prejudice that they can't
appreciate the humor of the Trego
county situation, and extract a lot OF,
fun from it.-Emporia Gazette.
THE WISE GUYS.
The innocent man occasionally gets
held UP. but the sleuths say the man
who believes he is wise as to the ways
of the world is the most likely VIC
tim for crooks and confidence men.
And of the men who are robbed in the
cities, a great number might keep their
purse intact If they would only behave
themselves. Having money, they start
out to "have a time" absorb a few
drinks, show their roll, and are robbed;
not simply because they have the
money, but because, in their haste to
get 1t in circulation, they visit places
most likely to be frequented by tough
characters. However, this is only one
little instance of the folly of drunken
ness. The money a man is robbed of
when he goes on a spree possibly does
him as much good as If he had kept 1t
to prolong the debauch. Liquor is not
conductive to economy or caution any
more than to other traits of good sense.

IT'S VICIOUS TENrAmiEs.

The latest batch of letters stolen
from the archives of the Standard Oil
company to be made public by Mr..
Hearst are even trifie more sensa-
tionally startling than were the 9TH
ers. They show that this great trust,
which is considered by President
Roosevelt and many others to be most
inimical to the people of this country
and its government, did not even hes
itate to secure the appointment of
men to high judicial positions. men
who presumably would be watchful
of it's interests.
These letters only show that this
was done by Mr.. Archbold, evidently
the arch conspirator in the big con-
Germ, in Pennsylvania. where he sug-
gested the appointment of certain
men to the supreme bench of that
state and where his suggestions were
acted on with an alacrity that speaks
wonders for the power Mr.. Arch
bold and his company welded in the
affairs of Pennsylvania. But it is
most reasonable to suppose that Mr..
Archbold did not confine his activities
I'm this line to Pennsylvania 1t is
quite likely that the courts of other
states. which are or have been ina
chine" ridden in the same way that
Pennsylvania has, have been prosti-
tuted in the self same way by the
grease of Standard Oil.
Perhaps it is we'll for the peace OF
mind of the whole people of the coun-
try, certainly for the peace of mind
of various men who have disabused
the public trusts which have been
conferred upon them by the people by
being subservient to the interests OF
this gigantic corporation. that the Sc

by the Standard Oil~crowd will never
be written. The letters made public
by Mr. Hearst are probably but the
oriefest excerpts from what would be
an ignohle chronicle.
Enough of it has been given to the
world, however. to warrant the people
in demanding the elimination of this
octopus from public affairs The evil
dence that 1t has tempered with the
courts is sufficient for such a demand
even though it had never committed
any other overt act. For the courts
of this land should be held well nigh
sacred. To them have the people a
last recourse from oppression Of any
and every kind, even oppression at
the hands of the government through
legislation which it is possible for the
judiciary to set aside as naught If it
is unconstitutional, if it infringes on
the peoples slightest right.
Probably the Standard Oil company
does not now WELD the influence in
public and political life that 1t did a
few years ago. One reason, and-a
very good one, for this is that it like
ly has, through it's paid agents in
prominent positions to which the peo-
pie have elevated them, secured every
possible thing it could desire and has
so strongly entrenched itself that it
is not now easily open to effective at
lacks. Most assuredly will it be wary
in the future of exerting corrupting
Influences. This is a good thing, but
1t will be better for the people to see,

Lived in a cave to study.

The Alliance colony has been alarm

in a cave in the woods. Rumor said
that he ate but once week. ann to

neighbors started the story that per-
haps a whiskey still was in operation
or band of counterfeiters were at
work. When Deputy Sheriff Levi be-
gan talking of organizing a posse to
unravel the mystery young man
emerged from the cave, and after a
shave. declared he was Chaem Lipsiz.

the cave as a study.

Signs of Old English Inns.

! There was one thing about the old
inn, to which much attention
was paid, and that was the signboard.
At time when few people could read
or write house signs were indispensable
in everyday life, especially in towns,
and as inns and taverns were always
common, their distinctions gave the
name to many a street, for not infre-
quently they were the first buildings
to be erected. Many of the combina-
lions read whimsically, and a writer in
the British Apollo, of 1907, says:
- I'm amused at the signs.
