As look back upon those days and compare Mir Brlnsmade with other Latin teachers l have known, many of the essentials that made him so successful a teacher stand out prominently.

He insisted on his pupils mastering thoroughly at the beginning, and in such way that they never forgot them, the various forms. and there9y saved untold trouble in the more advanced years of the study. His explanations of the various rules of syntaX were mas terful and his examples most apt, As a result, purpose and result clauses, the ablatiye absolute, the various uses of the subjunctive, and the like had no terlOrs for us and that great Dugbear of the boy, indirect dis course, was as harmless as a kitten

From the Ridge Recorder,

He made no mark in athletics; yet he was a natural baseball player, and certainly some years later in Wash ington he was long distance runner of great wind and endurance. He joined choral society in Boston, but he did not make the Glee Club, yet he was natural musician with a fine enthusiasm, an accurate ear, and a baritone voice of rare quality. He had faculties and abilities that are apt to make for college distinction;
 yet he achieved few of these distinc- tioDs. Probably the reason was that characteristic, recognized afterwards,

GOVERNMENT BY A FEW.

FUDGE WOOLLEY delivered practical and
J scholarly address to the graduating class
of his Alma Mater, Delaware College, at the
recent commencement exercises. The underly-
ing thought was the responsibility of educated
young men to the community. Assuming that
some of the young men before him would be-
come leaders of their fellows in civic and indus
trial life, he urged them to contribute to the
"soundness and cleanness OF government.
Much hath been given to them and much should
be expected
Then, referring to practical politics and the
methods of government, the judge pointed out
that IN actual practice the few govern. He said,
while the majority controls the minority, few
control the majority A majority is never right
simply because it contains larger number than
the minority, and it is generally wrong, regard
less of its number, until it is taught by COM
paratively few TO be right
The Judge doubtless had in mind that a few
leaders tell the mass of the people what they
should DO and the mass Of the people follow in
structions Important then is it that the young
men who may become leaders shall have high
ideals and urge them for the benefit of the COM
munity.
The Judge. we imagine had in mind affairs in
Delaware In the average state convention a
few leaders say what is to be DONE and the or
dinarv representatives of the views of their con-
stituents' sit as dummies and agree.
No one who lives in Delaware would doubt for
an instant that the few. the very few, govern
ANY one who has been about the Delaware Leg
slature has had that fact ndelibly impressed
upon him. We have ifty-two members of thS
State Legislature, but the majority of that
body whether they have been instructed or not
are utterly helpless. They can pass no legisla
ton that might be opposed by eight members o
the State Senate. And on some important mat
ters number fewer than eight would reall,
govern.
We do not fancy that in this instance Judg
Woolley would say that the majority of th'
members would not be right nstil they had beer
instructed bv the minority. II he did, the Ole
Guard Of the State Senate-those learned doc
tors of laws-woud rise in acclaim and presen
him with a loving cup.
Evening journal., 1909-06-18

Specialists have attended him and pro-
nounced his case hopeless. and for the
last month his family and friends have
given him up to die.
Yesterday he was taken with violent
cramps followed by vomiting FITS that
came on one after another for nearly
three hours II was while in ono Of the
most painful Of tho fits that he threw out
strange object from his mouth. which
began 10 run across tho floor. when it was
killed by his brother who was standing
near on examination it was found TO be
an animal that is exceedingly rare. but
which has been the talk of old persons for
years. a ground puppy"
According 10 old men who had seen
them before. these llzsrd-like animals live
I'm damp wells and muddy creeks but are
very seldom seen. This one measured three
inches and a half in length. and with its
long slimy body was upheld on four short
bowed legs. while its head and snout is
an exact replica OF bulldog.
Thompson at once began 70 feel better.
and to-day is able 10 be out. while the ter
rible pains have entirely left him. Thomp-
son now remembers that. as lie was drink
ing from tho stream last summer he felt
a curious twisting In his throat. but
thought nothing OF IT, He believes It was
at that time that he swallowed the curious
ground puppy"
