CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

John Zarnik, who was posted few
weeks ago will be relieved from this ban
if the request in petition of a large
number of his neighbors and friends is
granted.
If the policemen want to have guns
that will actually shoot occasionally,
they are given permission to buy and
pay for them themselves. Some of the
aldermen think modern automatic
pistol in the hands of an officer would
be a menace to the general public.
Alderman Plumb voiced a vigorous
protest against the untouched snow on
Union Park steps.
Walter Pellet was allowed $1,000 on
his $500 contract for new protection
peirs at Sth street bridge.
Grover Meyer is assessed $50 for a
horse for which he paid but $25 and he
quite naturally disapproves of the asses,
sors figures. HIS tax may be refunded
in proportion.

His Coat
Bargain
BY Helen Green

Bell had been saving money for a
year. The small economies which he
had accustomed himself to practicing
were hateful to young man with a
magnificent talent for expenditure and
"A clerks wages. When the sum
reached $500 he intended to purchase
a furlined overcoat.
The furrier of whom Bells first in
quiry was made as to the price OF a
smartly trimmed and lined garment
said Carelessly:
"Oh, SIS up. Depends upon what
you want to spend, and the materials
you select"
How far up do they go?" asked
Bell, hopefully.
"The good ones begin at about 1915
| could make you something very
smart for $500"
Bell sighed, observed that he was
sorry to have bothered the furrier,
and that he'd be in later. Strolling
up the street, hs laughed sadly. Where
would u man on a $75-amonth salary
find $500? After discardng various
wild schemes as impossible of fulfill
ment without IA Jail sentence to fol
low, he decided upon the simplest and
oldest. lie would save u certain amount
each month.
A year Of self-denial had cost him
many pleasures. There were two or
three extremely nice girls, whom he
had formerly felt able to ask to the
theater and supper, waited inpatient
ly for ten days, received no invita-,
tions 10 anything, and hurriedly en-.
couraged the advances Of more
thoughtful individuals.
SO when a year had gone. and No
vembcr's blasts whipped against legs
| that no overcoat skirts protected, Bell
| looked at his bank account and won
| dered ii S3l2 would be enough for that
| fur coat. He had the book with him
| as he strolled through Twentyfourth
street and paused to peep into u shop
! window, bearing the sign: The Small
| Fur Store"
Mufs, stoles, jackets and pelerines
| were arranged in charming profusion
| There were ermine and dark striped
! mink, Hudson seal and the better quail
tiles OF that barking seafaring animal
| The display excited Bell.
Why should he not march into a
| furrier's and demand that he be
measured for a coat? His eyes bright
ened, and his nose. in the chill river
| wind seemed warmer at the thought
His office was near. Once inside II
he determined to return to the attrac
tive shop at lunch time and reward
himself as soon as possible, for those

Il saw fur coat that made my

remarked bookkeeper. Il went bach
to look at 1t. 1t was in the next block.

KOSSUTH'S EARLY HISTORY.

The paper by Otto Drews upon the
History of the town of Kossuth read at
the meeting of the County Historical
Society at the Public Library last Satur,
day was a worthy addition to the series
of similar contributions which the socie-
ty has heard the past few years. The
growth of the town from the settlement
there by Joseph Poquin in 1si5 to the
present was outlined in entertaining
style. The importance of the Bohemian
immigration led by Michael Kellner was
mentioned. VIM Robinson, an early
pioneer, County Clerk Vraney, whose
father settled there in 1S4S, Judge An.
derson, who resided in the town in the
early sos, and Mrs. Pierce, who taught
school in Kossuth in 1862 were present
and contributed "reminiscences.

Cow Had Dark Brown Taste,

Dave Leahy has located a COW in
Wichita that goes on a spree. The
animal was tied to an apple tree for
half a day. Lying around in the grass
were a lot of windfallen apples, and
most of them were overripe. She pro-
ceeded to consume all Of the apples
that the length of the rope and her
neck would permit. In the afternoon
the owner of the COW, a Mr.. Skinner,
went to the orchard TO bring her
home, and found her lying on the
ground, apparently dead to the world.
She was breathing heavily and snor-
ing. Persistent jabs in the ribs failed
to arouse her, SO a veterinary was
called. After looking her over the
doctor gave this diagnosis "Tnc COW,
sir, is very, very drunk" She had
eaten too many of the fermented over
ripe apples. Medicine was applied,
and her frequent trips to the water
trough later convinced the owner that
she was suffering from that dark
brown taste. kansas City Journal.

The Arsenal of a Car.

The best armed monarch in Europe
today is the new czar, Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria. His bedroom is filled with
weapons, which are not there for any
ornamental purposes, but for use. The
sinister collection includes guns, re-
yolTers, daggers and here and there
on chairs are cudgels and knuckle
busters. A small and wicked.looking
revolver with all its chambers loaded
lies at the head of his bed. Though
he takes all these precautions Ferdi-
nand is a courageous man, but he suf-
fers at night from constant dread Of
assassination A few weeks ago the
palace at Sofia was awakened at the
dead of night by pistol shot ringing
out in the stiffness. No one ever heard
what it was all about, but the shot
was probably fired off by the prince in
fit of nervousness.

nue. an Italian ice and coal pedder
lost an aged horse, whose constant
companion and playmate was small
monsrel balldog. A few hours after
the horse died we noticed that the dog
began to look dopey. He just moped
around, apparently having lost in
terest in life. We saw him go to the
old horse. stretch his body across the
latter's neck, and die there. The nu-
merous drivers who congregate around
this point, all rough, but good natured
fellows, noticed the positions of the
two dead animals, and many a head
was suddenly turned the other way.
There were peculiar fits Of coughing,
and some of the boys were rubbing
their cheeks with the backs of their
hands, in lieu of handEerchiefs. Some
cursed at their teams and disappeared
as quickly as possible. | honestly be-
lieve that POOR little mongrel died Of a

Education does not mean teaching
people to know what they do not know.
1t means teaching them to behave as
they do not behave. 1t is not teaching
the youth the shapes of letters and the
tricks of numbers and then leaving them
to turn their arithmetic to roguery and
their literature to lust. 1t is, on the
contrary, training them into the perfect
exercise of kingly confluence of their
bodies and souls. 1t is a painful, con.
tinual, and difficult work. To be done by
kindness, by watching, by warning by
precept, and by praise, but above all, by

EDUCATIONAL.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS.
The question of whether or not a
principal or a teacher in charge of a
school is authorized and empowered un-
der the law tointlict corporal punishment
in order to secure that obedience and
discipline necessary to good school is
raised more frequently, probably, than
any other one question relating TO con-
troll of pupils.
There is no statute bearing directly
upon this subject. 1t is unnecessary
that special statute should be enacted
for this purpose The supreme court in
the case of State ex rel. Burpee vs.. Bur
ton, 81 Wis, page $50, emphasizes the
following rule:
The teacher is responsible for the
discipline of his school and for the prog
ress, conduct, and department of his
pupils. 1t is his imperative duty to
maintain good order and to require of
his pupils faithful performance of their
duties. If he fails to do so, he is unfit
for his position. To enable him to dis
charge these duties etfectually, he must
necessarily have the power to enforce
prompt obedience to his lawful com
mands. For this reason the law gives
him the power, in proper cases, to intilct
corporal punishment upon refractory
pupils But there are cases of miscon-
duct for which such punishment is an
inadequate remedy. If the offender is
incorrigible, suspension or expulsion is
the only adequate remedy. In general,
case of that kind to the proper board for
its action in the first instance if no de-
lay will necessarily result from that
course prejudicial to the best interests
of the school. But the conduct of the
recusant pupil may be such that his
presence in the school for a day or an
hour may be disastrous to the discipline
of the school and even to the morals of
the other pupils. In such a case, it
seems absolutely essential to the welfare
of the school that the teacher should
have the power to suspend the offender
at once from the privileges of the school,
and he must necessarily decide for him
self whether the case requires that
remedy. Ii he suspends the pupil, be
should promptly report his action and
his reasons therefor. to the proper
| board"
There is not school officer or parent
or guardian in the state but will recog
nize the justice and necessity for this
rule as laid down by the supreme court.
Rarely will any parent or school officer
hesitate to commend n teacher for insist
ing upon and maintaining good order in
school Indeed u school without the
enforcement of n proper degree OF disci-
pline is a poor school and in many cases
worse than no school. In cases where
| the parents and school officers of dis
trict support the teacher in maintaining
good order the school may easily be a
good school. 1t too frequently occurs,
however, that parents and school officers
are entirely willing that corporal punish
ment may be inflicted so long rs it is not
inflicted upon their own children.
