ORGANIZED A CLASS
in MANNERS.
Instruction for the Shy And
Awkward In Old-Time South
ern Schools.

The father of Alexander Fl. Steph-
ems, the vice president of the Confedel
ate State was an "old field" teacher,
and one OF his schoolroom exercises
which pupils called learning manners
evidently made a deep impression on
little Alexander writes Louis Pendleto
in his biography of the statesman. The
plan was no less admirable than
quaint.
Ii is related that about once month
on Friday afternoon after thhe SPELL
ing classes had got through their task
the boys and girls were directed to tale
seats in rows facing each other. The
the boy at the head of the row would
rise and walk toward the center of tn
room and the girl at tie head of her
row would do likewise.
AS they approached the boy would
bow and the girl would drop a courtes
the established feminine salutation of
those days and they would pass on.
At other times they we're taught to
stop and exchange verbal solutions and
the usual formulas of polite inquiry.
These exercises were varied by meet
ings in an imaginary parlor the entra

Then came the ceremony off introdu
tons. The parties in this case would
walk from opposite sides of the room
in pairs. and upon meeting, after sal

begin making known to each other tn
friends accompanying them, the boys
saying, ALLOW me, Miss Mary TO pre-

mad spoken to Mr.. Smith she would
turn introduce her friend.
The exercises trivial as the descrip-
ton may seem the vice president of
the Confederacy says, were of great
use to raw country boys and girls re-
moving their awakwardness and con-
sequent shyness and the painful sense
of being at a disadvantage, or the
dread of appearing ridiculous. =

Anti-iniunctions

Attorney General Wade Ii. Ellis OF
Ohio, who was n member of the com
mittee ON resolutions of the Republican
national convention, makes the follow
ing reply to the criticisms of the plat
form made by w. ]. Bryan. The at
torney general says in part:
The charge made by Mr. Bryan that
the Republican declaration with re-
spect to the use Of the writ Of injunc.
ton WAS designed TO deceive the Ia
boring man is unworthy Of a candi
date for president, and the further
charge that this plank merely declares

10 those cases in which there has been
an abuse or discretion On the apprehen
sion Of 1t is unworthy Of any lawyer
who has examined the question.
The anti-tnjunction resolution is
frank, clear statement OF the Republic

which others have been attempting 10

The present statute does not require
any notice at all before the granting of
Il temporary order. and it is entirely
within the discretion Of the court TO
postpone to any time the judge may
see fit the hearing upon the question %

simply declares that notice shall al

that case there shall be- 4 speedy hear

their collective interests while they
turn their increased attention to their
pressing individual demands"
For these and other reasons which
he cited, Mr.. Cleveland foresaw that
the Republican party was moving ION
to a safe victory" in November 1t is
evident by the references to Bryan
which he made in his letter that he
believed this years defeat would
loosen the Nebraskan's grip on the
Democracy for good, although there
are some Republicans and Democrats
who,regardless of the beating that is

fortunate organization in 1912 or 1906.
Mr.. Cleveland, then in the Presidency,
voted for Palmer, the candidate of
the National Democracy,in 1896. But
there is no candidate in the field this
year whom he would call Demo-
cratic. If Mr.. Cleveland had lived to

Mr.. Cleveland gives a high tribute
to the qualifications of the Repub-
lican candidate. Personally and off

knowing many things concerning Mr..
Taft that were not matter of general
knowledge, and with keen interest |

not to be underestimate or over
emphasized. for should he come to
the Presidential chair the qualities
which made him judge OF high abil-
ity, which know him to have been.
will be the most needful to him as
president of the United rtateg. rs
high ideals of honesty and of relative
justice, his great capacity for severe
labor, and his numerous wisdom in
the face of serious problems are at
tributes equally valuable mad COM

Upper Clear Creek Strike.

A Denver News special from George
town on the 18th inst, says Prob
ably no strike made in the history Of
mining in upper Clear Creek created
so much enthusiasm as that reported
today from the Sporting Times The
property IS located on Griffith noun
tain within sight OF Georgetown and
is owned and operated by II. A. Col
burn and son of Idaho Springs. In
the early working of the property a
large quantity of high grade gold and
lead ore was shipped from the surface
workings. On account OF the broken
up condition of the ground the ore
measure vas lost and all efforts to To-
cate proved futile. Consequently a
cross-cut tunnel was started down the
mountain side.
Late last night six-inch streak OF
solid galana was struck. giving values
OF four ounces in gold. 61 per cent
lead and SO ounces in silver.
The ore is of the same character as
that extracted from the surface. This
proves the continuity of the ore to a
great depth and opens up large block
of virgin ground which will no doubt
prove bonanza to the lucky owner.

remedy for enforced Unemployment

certaining to what extent the idea Of
self-supporting suburban schools Of
farming might be encouraged by the
federal government.
They explained that the object was
to furnish work for the victims OF en-
forced idleness in congested industrial
centers.
Secretary Wilson said in reply that
It was the unquestionable duty Of state
and municipal government to estab-
lish such enterprises and that II they
would provide land within the range
of a flve-cent fare from towns, thus
letting the unemployed have access to
such farms, he would send experts free

mence consideration of the case until
after supper. An agreement was
reached Immediately, and they were
ready to report before 8 o'clock. But
standing eleven to one for acquit'al,
and the second unanimous.
Miss Gordon received the verdict
without manifestation of emotion. She
remained at the county jail with the
matron last night, but will go to her
sisters in Lafayette, Colorado, this
morning. She says she has no plans
for the future.
AS soon as the clerk had read the
verdict, Judge Greeley W. Whitford
astounded the jurors and the few spec
tators by saying:
There are more murders committed
in the United States, gentlemen. than
in any other civilized country In the
world, and there are fewer convictions
and punishments for murder in the
United States than any country in the
world II is worthy Of reflection for
government where the government
is by the people. whether life is secure

case had it been within its province.
But you have found for acquittal and
the defendant is dismissed"
