tells how Mrs. S. had made herself sick
on dried apples when she dined at Sister
Jones' The story grew apace, and when
some not very judicious person told 1t to
the pastor, it had reached such point
as to impress the pastor with the idea
that the whole neighborhood was agog
with the tale that his pretty wife had
pretty nigh killed herself eating dried ap-
plies and had to have the doctor with her
in the night This put the pastor in
bad humor, and he said some things that
were not pleasant, and thus the difficulty
grew and spread over the neighborhood.
When 1 had finished this imaginary ae-
count of the details of the trouble, gen
tleman of the company said: well, l
happen to be familiar with the facts in
the case, and you have given a pretty
correct account of what did occur
Now. there Is no necessity for believing,

pie concerned in this case intended to

be made to shirk the responsibility for
these errors. The game has been very
properly named Scandal" and it shows
how people who have no intention and no
motive to pervert the truth. nor TO in

to tell the tale as it was told to them
The following anecdote, for the truth
of which 1 can personally voueh, is an
other illustration of my theme:
Many years ago a certain Baptist church
in the valley of Virginia got into very
serious difficulties Many of the most
prominent members were excluded. The
pastor left and for a long time the church
was closed. After many nonths-indeed,
believe. several years-some of the men,
bers came together and called another
nastor. He accepted their call and soon
went to work to restore quite consider
able number of the members who had
been excluded. After time the church
was put upon its feet, but | doubt If it

gives an account of a certain game,
- which is exceedingly entertaining
and ought to be instructive. I will de-
scribe it: You have, say, dozen young
ladies in a room. You write off brief
narration, introducing by name some
three or four characters, and the names
of some two or three localities. The story
should not be longer than about page
of ordinary manuscript. You now leave
the room. call out young lady number one,
and carefully read the story to her. You
then return to the room and send out
young lady number two, who hears the
story from number one Number one now
returns to the room and sends out number
three to get the story from number two,
and so on through the list of the y girls.
The conductor of the game now calls upon
the 18th girl to tell the story of the whole
company and the fun consists in noticing
the divers errors which have crept into

his people what nobody knows.
1.-The Plurality of Worlds" many be
a subject of some interest to speculative
people. but I am utterly at a loss to see
how its discussion is likely to help any
living soul to live a wiser or a better
life here upon this sin-eursed earth.
We are told that the famous philoso-
pher Thales was taking a lonely walk
on a clear night, and as he was profound
ly gazing into the heavens he fell into
a ditch. An illiterate old woman who
was passing by, helped him out and then
gave him the following sensible and
practical piece of advice: "Thales, it Is
not wise to have your head among the
stars, when your feet are on the earth"
l have some times seen in religious
newspapers long discussions to prove
60 how infants, dying in infancy, are
saved. / have ceased to read all such
articles, for l am convinced that nobody
knows. There are some questions on
which imperturbable ignorance is the only
wisdom and on such questions silence
is golden"

of the time of Walpole did the wood
en- shoes of a French peasant. He idol
lied Henry Clay and looked on An
drew Jackson as all that was odious
in politics. He was for the bank, for
the tariff, for internal improvement,
for gradual emancipation, for every
thing with the slightest tinge of whig-
gerry and he opposed everything with
the least suggestion of democracy. Nay,
so intense was he that he favored the
Wilmot proviso and was among the
chiefs of the conscience wings"
But even Joseph R. Underwood was
Mortified at the enormities of reconstruc-
ton, unconditional union man that he
was during the war and he even tor
tured himself by voting the democratic
ticket the last half dozen years Of
his life.
At Charlottesville Oscar Underwood be-
came well grounded in the teachings OF
jefferson and cordially embraced the pre-
cepts of the great apostle of American
democracy. In 1884 when Birmingham,
Ala, was a village in the midst of
forest he settled there and engaged in
the practice of law. He saw that small
community grow to be a mighty indus
trial center and take rank among the
great iron and steel centers of the world.
In one of his first speeches in Congress
he made the declaration that his district
could produce pig iron at less cost than
it could be made anywhere else in the
world.
Ten years after young Underwood To-
Gated at Birmingham he was chosen
member of the Fifty-fourth Congress.
Less fortunate than Cliff Breckenridge,
who never served in a republican Con-
gress, except a few days in Tom Reeds
first Congress- Underwood has never

Salem. In this we have been most
successful. In this building we have
placed the latest sanitary devices
in the way of drinking fountains,
lavatories and toilets.
We have added three very inn
portant departments to our course OF
study namely, music, drawing man
nal arts and sewing. The former
under the direction of Miss Magers,
has attained a very high plane OF
efficiency. The drawing has been a
great advantage to the children OF
our schools. Manual training was
introduced in a small way at the be-

work. BY it's introduction we have
OPENED an avenue for our boys to

value in after life.

some line of work TO which it is, by
nature, especially adapted, be that

kindred branches. BY giving tLer

also placed a cement floor in the
basement of the East school in a
room formerly used for a wood and
store room. This room is now used
as a manual training center.
Five years ago we we're employ
ing 80 teachers. Today there are
SO on our payroll An increase of
"a, or five teachers per year. Dur
ing the last year our schools became
so crowded we were compelled to
look for relief from some source.
After many hous spent in going over
the situation we decided to erect a
building near the high school. At
this time we were using four rooms
in this building for grade work. The
high, with an enrolment of 419,
needed these rooms very badly. In
looking the field over, getting prices
on various suitable locations, we Sc
lected the one now occupied by the
Garfield building. The building was
erected, and we are proud to say, it
is one of the finest and most sani-
tary in the northwest. Thus we not
only relieved the situation in the
high school but at the same time we
placed a building within the reach
of the children too small to go to
