When Il Doesn't Pay.

The Carroll Journal asks and
answers it's own question: Will
a merchant who is wise ever
cease to advertise? Yes-when
the trees grow upside down;
when the beggar wears a crown;
when ice forms on the sun; when
the sparrow weighs a ton; when
gold dollars get too cheap; when
women secrets keep; when a fish
forgets to swim; when Satan
sings a hymn; when girls go
back on gum; when the small boy
hates a drum; when no politician
schemes; when mince pie makes
pleasant dreams; when it's fun
to break a tooth; when all law.
yers tell the truth; when cold
water makes you drunk; when
you love to smell a skunk; when
the drummer has nc brass; when
these things come to pass; then
the man that's wise will neglect
to advertise.

lege will begin this summer reg.
ular summer session for teachers.

ISSUE CIRCULAR.
A circular will be issued before

es, the names of the faculty, and
other necessary information.
From the following outline of pol.
icy and purpose may be gained some
idea of the school and the lines
along which it will be developed:
/. To offer in the State an oppor.
tunity to teachers to prepare them
selves for increasingly efficient work
in common schools.
2. To aid in equipping teachers
for high school work.
8. To enable the inexperienced
graduates of colleges, who intend to
teach, to profit by the instruction
and experience of practical teachers
in the high school branches.
4. To keep up the work already
so we'll begun by the former State
summer schools of bringing the
teachers of the State together for
exchange of opinion and experience,
for the stimulus and enlargement of
personal and intellectual associa-
tion, and for the development Of a
professional spirit and unity.
S. To develop courses looking to
the degree of L l, and to offer cours-
es toward the degree of A B. This
will be done by lengthening the term,
by gradually adding other branches
and advanced courses IN the funda,
mental culture and professional
studies, by outlining work to be
done in the interval between summer
schools.
6. To enable our teachers to
unite with the foregoing opportuni-
ties and advantages, the benefits of
rest, recreation, and social inter-
course in the fine summer climate Of
the near.mountain country.

Wilma roundly for both happenings

about it by berating her for all the

A Piute Indian Myth.

The Piute Indian myth of the sun,
moon and stars is as crudely anthropo-
morphic as can be found in any saw
age belief. The loo is the suns
wife. The stars are his children.
When he appears the children skedad-
die. They live in terror of him. He
eats them when he can catch them.
His stomach-the only part of him one
can see-is stuffed with stars. When
he goes to bed the children emerge
again from their hiding places in the
blue. The moon is fond of her chill
dren, who smile as she moves among
them. Every month she goes into
mourning because her cannibal hus-
band has eaten n of them. The Piute
Indians account for the appearance of
a comet by stating that the SUI often
snaps at one of the stars, his children,
and does not get hold of 1.-THE only

from him until it is far out of his

over the plump pink fingers Of her
left hand she drew a big yarn sock and
set to weaving a blue latticework
across the grinning hole, wondering in
a patiently tranquil way If there might
ever be a loophole of escape for her
from Lena's perpetual driving and
scolding. Her brother Herman had n
time given her the practical counsel:
"You shouldt get married once"
And Otto Boppert. the prosperous bar
Der on the next block, stood ready to
assist her In carrying out the sugges-
ton. Fraulein was studying about
Otto now. Otto was short. but very
wide. His hands were fat and moist
and always smelled Of cocoanut oil
soap. His face was red and glistening,
as If he had but just been dipped from
the lard kettle. He laughed in a puffy
way, which gave the impression that
he was stuffed full of feathers, and he
never seemed to think about much be-
sides customers and eatings. Maybe
some time she would not mind those
things. but now. just after meeting
Professor Yost-
Again Wilma's belt buckle creaked.
Presently a good round knock at the
entry door roared Its way through the
faint scattering sounds from the kitch-
zen, where Lena was securing the flour
barrel and slop pail.
"Pettlers," thought fraulein, going

Lena's fat shoes slapped belligerently
forward.
AS the door opened she heard the
fresh, wholesome voice of the "Guten

Zach, ja," Lena's shrill tones re-
sponded. "You should walk in, once"
And into the sitting room walked Pro
lessor Yost, broad, ruddy and smiling
cheerfully. He carried a small parcel
wrapped in brown paper, which he
proceeded silently to unroll. Then he
held out upon his broad palm a little
wooden shoe.
"Wilma"-he retreated from the pit
falls of his acquired English to the old,

Fraulein found no hardship in COM

earth than that of boiling lard; more
c%ongenial a crisp morning walk be-
tween strips of spangled grass than the
monotonous forming of knobby fried
cakes and the tireless refrain of Lena's
pungent tongue.
The children skipped happily beside
their little plump governess along the
sleepy bystreet which ran suddenly out
into the wide e where rose the
griffin guarded gate. From the opposite
side came Professor Yost, beaming
rosily, his sleek, pine shaving hued hair
cleaning with the vigor of its recent
brushing.
"Guten morgen," he greeted as the
four reached the shadow of the griffin.

sedately, retreating gently. "Guteby,
