the work of the school and remain
out. To avoid this assign interesting
topics for study related to the work
which they will be doing while at
home.
For example Tom and Fred must
stay home to cut corn for a week.
Before they leave tell them they
may make up the work in compost
ton or language by each bringing in
story of "How Corn Gets from the
Stalk to the Kitchen" or THE Story
of Corn from the Grain to the Ear,
in which the details of how the crop
is gathered or raised is given. John
and Mary during the same week were
required to quit school to help make
molasses. Ask them to bring back
to school a story of how molasses is
made to read for the Geography class
which may be studying about some of
the sugar producing states.
other pupils may be asked to bring
to school upon their return the finest
ear of corn found in the field in
which they worked, or an exhibit card
made by mounting on a large piece
of paste board a section of a corn
stalk, blade, part of tassel, some
silk, a thin section of an ear, some
grains and little bottle of meal or
similar sorghum exhibit ending with
small bottle of molasses.
In this way school work may be un-
tied with farm work, interest kept up
and pupils brought back. Win you
not try some such thing as this?

BUSINESS MAXIMS

Be loyal to those from whom you
buy, to your customers and 10 your
employees, for without their faithful
cooperation success is impossible.
Be industrious. Your time during
business hours belongs to your en-
ployer. II idle you rob him and
rob yourself
Do nothing over night TO impair
your business efficiency. The theory
that your employer has nothing to
do with you after business doings Is
a mistake.
Always buy from first hands. Ne
yer pay intermediate profits.
Always seek the best trade. II you
would make money you must deal
with those who have money.
Deal in good goods only. Good goods
mean a good class of customers. Trash,
goods mean a poor class of customers,
and there is little profit in them.
Employees must not quarrel. When
ever there is a quarrel the house
has to foot the bill.
Do your business right and the
profit is sure to come.
In business matters insults are
nothing.
You must not allow your personal
feelings TO initiate against your busi-
ness success.

did not. Astronomers were able to
figure out, however, that 1t had by
chance passed so near to certain
great planets that they had delayed
1t. and they made a new prediction
which was fulfilled, thus at once
forever dispelling the mystery and
terror which had surrounded these
strange visitors for ages. Now men
are able TO tell when comet will
come. and. so there is no mystery
about its appearance. or reason for
fear. This comet has been foretold
for years, and now It has been seen
thru the telesccas. Next spring we
will all see it. The great HALEY, how
ever. did not live to see his theory
proved.
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1909-09-16

In dispensing credits avoid tainted
men.
Cultivate the friendship of those
from whom you buy. Their knowledge
of their own merchandise is apt TO
be better than yours.
Discomfort is the mother of pro-
gress.
Turn your slow or unstable goods
into money. the former becomes less
desirable daily, but money consider
alton enters into every business
question sooner or later.
Remember, no matter how well you
dc a thing 1t can be done better.
The criticism of the vicious is a
compliment.
In dealing with the government al
ways give it more. rather than less,
than Is due, and encourage patriot
ism; for good government is the es-
sential basis OF business and finan-
cial success.
Cultivate the Jews. have always
found them splendid customers and
reliable and valuable friends. They
are natural merchants and have I'M
limited faith in the resources of this
country. When times are hard and
dealers generally are afraid TO carry
good stocks OF goods the Jews always
buy as good az or better stocks than
usual, knowing there is good pro-
portion OF forehanded people In every
community who have sufficient means
to purchase their requirements. As
friends they are grateful. reciprocal
and loyal and as a class they have
always proved as honest as any.

OUR WESTERN TOUR
No. s-America's Wonderland

l shall not attempt detailed de-
scription of the wonders beheld dur
ing my six days trip in Yellowstone
Park. Space in The Citizen would
fail me and it would encroach upon
the time needed for other matter in
the near future. These hasty notes
are scrubbed as the train is rapidly
bearing me to Arlington, Oregon,
where Mrs. Dodge has been spending
the time of my Yellowstone visit
with pet" Savers, now Mrs. Huff.
She did not feel able to make the
strenuous trip.
In visiting some Of the objects of
interest in the park ! was one of
the permanent camping company do
ing the park in what is called the
"Wylie Way" This project consists
in having seven little villages or
camping places in convenient locali-
ties throughout the park, where the
conducted parties will find, at suit
able intervals, meals or lodging as
required At these places tent houses
are located at the opening of the
season, June 1st., and kept in use
until about Oct. LIST. At the first
camp / counted the number of per-
sons registered at the office and
found it to be 14S. Every day a new
set enters the park and one takes
its leave. Thus the Wylie Co. has
six distinct parties in the park at a
time, at different stages of advance
ment in the six days tour. Thus the
sight seeing goes on, month after
are conducting parties around the
park. Some stay at the permanent
hotels, which are large and costly,
and some choose the less expen-
sive way of pitching tents from
night to night. Thus the fine govern
ment roads are thronged with vehi-
Giles. For passengers the solid stage,
carrying twelve persons and drawn
by four horses, predominates. But
smaller carriages are also in evidence.
Sometimes we met supply wagons
drawn by six or eight horses.
The sum OF our drives was 40 miles.
This will not be wondered at when
1t is remembered that the park is
54x62 miles in extent. Indeed some
of the parties which pitch camp from
day to day take as many as eighteen
days TO make the rounds, and visit
some points of great interest which
the ordinary tourist does not even
hear mentioned. / should choose this
plan were to go again.
Numerous as are the visitors and
frequented as are the highways, the
efforts Of the United States Govern
ment to preserve the game are meet
ing with considerable success. In
fact none of the native animals ex-
cept the coyote and mountain lion
can properly be called game. All
other animals 1t is forbidden to kill.

TALKS WITH TEACHERS

Every true teacher desires a full
and regular attendance. If you wish
to know whether you are true or
false to your trust, watch during these
DAYS when "foddering" is taking the
larger boys and girls home, in too
many cases not to return, and see
IL your feelings are of relief that
YOU have fewer to manage or of true
regret that you are losing a chance
to help the children in their growth
to a noble manhood and womanhood.
If you find yourself even indifferent
to the loss Of pupils you are not the
teacher whom Kentucky needs. You
must be hungry for children without
regard to the trouble they cause you
or the State money you receive for
their residing in your district
If you have this hunger you can
get the children, and keep them too.
1t is too late now for the best re-
suits 10 come from the advice which
/ am going to give, but part may be

later.
First, you must make the children
see the use of each lesson and the
connection which it has with those
before, and yet to come.
You have failed in a large measure
il you have not made every pupil
feel that to miss a day in school is
to miss a great treat. Have you
noticed how every boy and girl in
the district is sure to be on hand at
the close of school when, according
to an old custom, the treat" Of
candy at or near the close of school
was forthcoming? II is your business
and mine dear friends, to make the
studies we give them as candy to
their mental appetites.
You can do this If you will, but it
will require three things, a thorough
preparation of each lesson taught,
an understanding of the child life,
and the common sense and training
to bring the two together in such a
way as to produce the most and the
best development.
II you have succeeded fairly we'll In
the above, you will lose pupils from
your school who are taken from school
for a real reason against their wish,
but while out lose connection with

PRESIDENT STARTS ON TRIP
The President started on Tuesday on
one of the most noted trips ever
taken by a President of the United
States. On that day he was the guest
of the Chamber of Commerce of Bos-
ton. From there he goes to Chicago
where he will be entertained by the
Hamilton Club. Continuing thru thir-
ty States and two Territories the
Presidents trip will reach its climax
at Ell Paso, Texas, where he will
meet President Diaz OF Mexico. After
the President has formally received
President Diaz at FL Paso he will
cross the boundary line officially TO
return the call to the President Of

and his private cars, the Mayflower
and FASTENERS will be handled over
twenty-five different railroad systems
COMET ON TIME:-The sighting Of
Halley's Comet, the most famous OF
our heavenly visitors, has been an
nounced from the observatory at
Heidelberg, Germany. The great comet
will not be visible to the naked eye
till next spring. but from then on,
thru next summer, It will be a splen-
did sight, at times becoming as bright
as the full moon, and extending from
the center OF the heavens a quarter
OF the way OF the horizon. This COM
ct is the one from which the secret
OF the nature OF these strange visi-
tors was first learned. Comets had
appeared at odd intervals ever since
history began to be written. and pro-
badly long before then. Always they

ed out formulas to prove that the COM
ct should come back at a certain
time, that is. he believed that the
comet was not a supernatural visitor,
but a part OF our solar system. and
moved around the sun as the earth
does, only In queerly shaped orbit.
Every one was greatly interested in
his theory. and eagerly waited for
the time when he believed the comet
would re-appear. II It came as pre-

Though our observations were confin-
ed almost entirely to what could be
seen from the stage and the immediate
vicinity of our camps, We were favored
with the sight of goodly number of
deer, bears, and buffalo. The last
animal seen, just before emerging
from the park was a fine black bear
which came forth from the forest and
came directly towards our stage, but
when we stopped to gaze, it veered
10 the right and ran across the road
behind us. The deer seemed to con-
slider mankind their friends and at
the various places where We saw
them by the roadside not one offered
to run away, though the nearest
was scarcely forty feet distant
The nights were cold owing to our
being 1000 feet above sea level, even
when we were in a valley. We had
more bedding than we use at our
homes even in mid-winter, and a

scraped up considerable frost, the
morning of Aug. oath. Every night
a large campfire was made, around
which in a circle 60 or 20 feet in dia-
meter, stories were told, songs sung,
and general jollity prevailed. There
is no scarcity of fuel, as nine-tenths
of the park is a dense forest of Jack
pine" fir, etc. The trees are so thick
ly set that they grow as tall poles OF
unequaled slimness. The ground be-
tween is covered and piled with dead
and dried trees which seem never to
rot.

our people until such time as public
sentiment sustained our government
in setting aside this tract of land as
national playground where nature,
in her grandest and most smiling
moods, may inspire and delight the
increasing number of Americans who
will consider no education complete
which does not include visit to
this wonderland. Here we have
rushing streams, with many water
falls OF SURPRISING beauty. We have
lovely lakes-one thirty miles long
which ducks, swans, sea gulls, her
ons, and relicans love to frequent. We
have the splendid canyon of the
Yellowstone River, 1.400 feet deep and
several miles In length, its walls
having colors more numerous and bril-
liant than those of the rainbow. We
have hundreds of hot springs, whose
products vary from highly colored
paint or mortar to the most pellucid
water. We have scores of geysers
situated in a half dozen different ba-
sins and miles separated. Some Of
these are in activity every few min
utes, others have intervals of many
days. Some throw their water up
but a few feet and give forth a
soothing sound, others project vast

SUCCUMBS TO PISTOL WOUND
CAPT. BURNELL DIES AT THE
LAUREL SANITARIUM.
Signal Corps OGcer Never Regained
Consciousness After Firing Shot.
Popular With His Associates.

Capt. George c. Burnell Of the Signal
Corps. United States Army. who shot
himself in the head Tuesday. at the Lau-
rel sanitarium. died at 1:30 this morning
as a result OF the self-inficted wound.
He remained unconscious from the mo-
ment the shot was fired until death came.
Soon after Capt. Burnell died word was
sent from Laurel to DR.. Joseph Milton
Heller. his friend and attending physi-
clan. and DR.. Heller at once notified the
Capt. Burnelrs father came on from Ver-
mont and went to the sanitarium at
Laurel to take charge of the body.
Capt. Burnell was a most jealous stu
dent and hard worker. his friends say,
and 1t was because he feared a nervous
and mental breakdown would incapaci-
tate him from attending to his military
duties that he ended his life.
Gen. c. F. Humphrey, late quartermas-
ter general, United States Army. an, in
innate friend Of the captain, said, in
speaking of the deplorable affair, that
Capt. Burnell was an indefatigable work
sr, and that in addition to his duties as
signal officer, he was acting quartermas-
ter at Fort Wood, N Y. and practically
superinten nded and directed the construc-
ton OF that military post.
Capt. Cunningham of the Signal Corps.
was shocked by the news Of his act He
said Capt. Burnell was a conscientious
student and devoted his abilities to the
military service.
Although but forty years of age. Capt.
Burnell had seen considerable active
service and his record In the Signal Corps
was excellent. He was born in Winoo-
ski. Vt. in July. 1868. and in May, 1886.
entered the United States Signal Corps
as sergeant. During the Spanish
American war he saw considerable ac-
tive service In Cuba and In the Philip
pines. first as a second lieutenant and
then as first lieutenant in the vdlun-
teer signal corps. He was stationed at
Fort Myer for some time and afterward
was placed in command of Fort Wood,
N. Y, where he remained until last sum-
mer, when he was transferred to duty
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. A short time
ago he came to Washington on leave OF
absence for the purpose Of receiving med
ical treatment.
1t Is probable that Capt. Burnell will
be given military funeral and that the
interment will be made in the Arlington
National cemetery.

UNIVERSITY CLUB SITE.
Deed Recorded for Property Corner Of
I and 18th Streets.

deed has just been recorded by which
Redfield Proctor. jr., transfers the title to
the property at the northwest corner OF
l street and Mcpherson square. The title
is taken in the name Of the representa-
tive OF those who have acquired this prop
erty on behalf Of the University Club.
At the present time, as has been the
case. an active canvass has been going
on among the members Of the club to Sc
cure subscriptions to the stock which is
to be issued for the purpose Of securing
the money to buy the property and erect
a club building. 1t is stated there is no
difficulty about financing this enterprise
and securing the necessary money; but 1t
is desired that the cooperation on the
part OF the members of the club should be
as general as possible, and for that rea-
son an effort is being made to have prac-
tically every member Of the club become
the owner Of at least one share of stock.
With such a backing 1t Is felt that this
particular enterprise. as well as all the
interests OF the club. will be better served
than il the money came from compare
lively few subscribers. as. of course. is
entirely practicable.
