Make way for the cherry teach
ers. They bring sunshine into the
schoolroom. They make work a
JOY. They never worry about
holding their place. The other
class brings frowns, harsh words,
ungovern4ble tempers. They
make work a burden. They al
ways worry, and everybody about
them is miserable. 'Tis a pity
they shoul ever try to teach
school. Selected.

The appearance of the interior
OF Vilhauer school, No. 73. has
been greatly improved by having
the walls papered and the ceiling
calsomined. Miss Ella johnson,
the teacher. is doing exceptional
lv fine work. The members oi
the board of this district are to be
highly commended for their eff
forts to make their school of the
greotest benz fit to the children.
The teachers meeting held at
Springfield lest Saturday was well
attended there being a number
of patrons and prospective teach
ers present beside nearly all of
the teachers of that district. All
OF the papers presented were ex-
ceptionally good and brot out
much free and valuable discus

Mayberg, and the readings by
Miss Lotz were exceptionally

"In 1903 we wrote you regard
ing my husband, who was suf-
fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DIR.
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. | am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that ] ought
to let you know of the wonder
full good results from its USE"

NOT BISHOP WILLIS

From the following item in the
Western Pacific Herald, Suva, Fiji, of
July II, it would appear that Bishop
Willis, who worked up the idea of a
Polynesian diocese, is not to possess
the see:
"A Royal Gazette was issued this
morning. A despatch from the Seere-
tary of State for the Colonies relative
to the nomination of the Rev. r. c..
Twitchell to be Missionary Bishop OF
Polynesia is published"
Another issue of the same paper re-
prints an article OF church news in
which the work OF Bishop Willis In
Hawaii and Tonga Is mentioned with
oommendation,

GLIMPSE OF PARIS
Honolnlu. Aug. 20. 1908.


EDITOR STAR:-If space will per-
init I should like to give your readers
a glimpse of Paris, as | saw it short
time ago. Paris, it is said, never ap-
pears quite like what one has pictur-
ed 1t in ones mind, for like some great
picture il has its light and its dark
spots, its shade and shadow; but taken
as a whole, 1t is wonderfully beautiful
and entrancingly interesting and well
worth a visit. will confine my re-
marks, in this letter. to the Grand
Opera House, and its audience, which,
though not the most interesting sight,
was to me the most impressive. And
strange to say, it was not the opera or
the structure that impressed me the
most, but the people or audience. Nor
is the stage, unless upon some special
occasion, the most interesting place,
but the great social hall, where the
audience promenades between the acts.
This hall, may say. is beautiful be-
yond description. but nevertheless it's
nv ~ AAAbCA CoNAllS do are llG DtODlG
assembled there. For here at times
can be seen the greatest men and wo-
men of the world. Here too at times
can be seen not only kings and queens
but the great kings and queens of song
and of the drama. Indeed here one
will often seen many, as Burke would
say, who are high in rank, noble of
birth, brilliant in beauty and charm
ing in manner, in a word the greatest
personages of the world.
What sight too this is for the Ia
dies; for here one will see hundreds
of the most exquisite frocks or gowns
of Paris, creations of such artists as
Worth, Francis Felix, Ducet, Redfern
and Kate Reilly. Here too can be seen
jewels worth a kings ransom spark
ling on neck, and arm, and hand, and
of such dazzling beauty as to amaze
one. Here too one can see coifiures in
the latest style and in the highest art.
and though not always in the latest
style always made up in a manner to
enhance their beauty Indeed. not
only are many of these ladies extreme
ly beautiful in person, and exuuisitely
gowned, but they use every art and
that can still more enhance
their beauty, grace and charm. This |
audience, l may say, is by no means
French, but at the height |
of the season there are representatives
from about every nation of the earth.
And many among them represent the
highest type of beauty of their respec-
tive nations.
l suppose I should say something
about the men but really they cut a
small figure in comparison to their |
more vivacious and gorgeously array
ed companions. They, however, ap-
peared to be distinguished looking and |
many of them looked and doubtless
were, men of affairs, and, as I said |
before, many of them were from the J
noblest families of Europe. Indeed to
me this was a scene of unparalleled |
and indescribable splendor and mag
nificance and surprising in brilliancy,
beauty and charm anything that had
ever seen anywhere, and formed a pic
ture never to be forgotten

Since all the wealthy people of New

ing Wises left side just beneath the arm.
Wise was Immediately placed on a spe
oial car and rushed to Birmingham, being
met at First avenue and Twenty-third
street by Shaw & Sons ambulance and
carried to St Nincents hospital At
late hour last night it was stated that
his wound was not serious and that he
was resting well.
Chief of Police Hudson of East Lake
arrived on the scene shortly after the
shooting but made no arrest, deciding that
the shooting was accidental. Myers came
to town on the car with Wise and went
TO the hospital, where he talked with him.
Both men are married, and after he had
left the hospital Myers went by Wise's
home. afterward going to his own house.
Deputy Sheriff Jack Brown was waiting
there for him and placed him under ar
rest and confined him in the county Jail
about II o'clock. At the county Jail Myers
would not talk any beyond saying that it
was an accident.
Wise lives on First avenue between
Forty-second and Forty-third streets. and
Myers on First avenue between Eighty
first and Eighty-second streets. Both men
are old employees of the company and bear
excellent regulations. They have been
running together for some time and have
always appeared to be good friends.

MAY KILL RACING.
Louisiana Senate Is Doubtful on the
Question.

Baton Rouge, La. June S.-The vote Of
the judiciary committees indicates that
the anti-racing bill practically is certain
to pass the house. The senate, however,
is more evenly divided on racing, and
that body is expected to be the battle
ground of friends of racing.
The measure favorably reported today
is known as the Locke bill. 1t is brief
hut sweeping in scope. 1t makes a mis-
demeapor, punishable by fine and impris-
onment, OF encouraging, promoting aid
ing assisting N the operation of a bet
ting book, or French mutual pooling
device, upon any kind of horse race or
races. or in selling auction pools. or in
eny other manner encouraging or assist
ing any person to bet upon a horse race
within this state or elsewhere
Before the vote on the Locke bill amend
ments were defeated, which if adopted
would have permitted betting to continue
under supervision of state racing COM
missioner. The committee also showed SO
much opposition to an amendment to pro-
tect racing at the state fair at Shreveport
next fall that the amendment was with
drawn.
