shyly IN. He was . timid.looking
young man with pale specialized eyes
and he carried red copybook. Miss
Lucy. seeing the book. knew the
young man to be the critic teacher.
This critic teacher was the dread
embassy Of the training school under
whose kindly guidance still continued
such young and tender teachers as
Miss Lucy. And it was often found
that after a visit from this critic
teacher these same young and tender
teachers must perforce HE themselves
back to the school, there to study a
year longer.
HE sits in your room," a teacher
friend had shudderingly told Miss
Lucy. "and you don't know what you
are saying and everything you take
hold Of drops, eEa all the time he Just
sits there and writes down all your
mistakes and yoa stay at home for .
week after because you are sick"
"How sil]y!" exclaimed the superior
Miss Lucy. II never get nervous. II
hs comes in my room I shall merely
greet him with my ordinary manner
and 60 on with my usual work."
From this calm announcement we
can easily imagine Miss Lucy advanc-
ing to meet the critic teacher with an
inefIable condescension. Instead of
which she stood still and opened her
mouth several times vainly. Then she
gurgled. The critic teacher. who in
reality was only painfully shy, wom-
an.fearing young man, also gurgled.
He then extended cold and clanmy
hand. which was met by one equally
cold and clammy. 1t this point q loud
whisper was heard from Sophie Bauer
schmidt, who suspected Miss Lucy of
matrimonial designs upon every man
from the janitor down. cts Miss
LuEy's beau" she explained loudly.
Miss Lucy glared wildly at her and
the critic teacher, sinking weakly into
. chair. opened his notebook. Miss
Lucy turned to her class and for a
moment smiled vaguely and appeal
ingly at them with dreadful shadow
Of her Entertainment" smile. Then,
suppressing tendency to swallow all
the time, she began to direct the read
ing lesson in voice that reminded
her Of Frederick William reciting q
memory gem. AS for the critic teach
or. still appalled, by the announcement
that he was Miss Lucy's beau, he sat
wretchedly on the ridge of Miss Lu-
cy's chair and wrote swiftly and con-
stantly in his book.
At last Frederick Williams turn
came to read. "See kitty chump." said
he. It was the first sentence in the
primer and the only one he had ever
mastered. He rendered it upon all
occasions and It was always accepted
BY Miss Lucy with an induigent smile.
However, this time she shook her
head. mo. DEAR" she said sweetly:
'try again."
"see kitty chump." said Frederick
complacently.
Then Miss Lucy came toward him
and bending over him pointed to the
FIRST word.

the idea that he. young man OF ex-

For moment he and Miss Lucy, both
stricken gurgleless. looked at each
other. Then seizing his hat. he turned
and fastened without the portals Of
the depraved and immoral Class A.
AS the door shut upon his scandalized
back, Miss Lucy. glancing toward her
desk, caught sight Of red copybook
lying there open. All the beautiful
moral precepts that we're the delight

the copybook and feveFishly turned

COLOMBIAN UPRISING
 MORE SERIOUS AFFAIR A PROJECT TO DIVIDE THE RE- PUBLIC. The Movement From BarranquilIa
 Gaining Strength.

Panama, July S.-Mail advices from l Colombia report a critical condition of affairs in that republic. As a re- suit of the departure of President Reyes for Europe, various political seemed united, are now completely dis,l san'zed, an1 the indications are that Colombia is on the verge of "a great revolution.
 Fin: mCvemen-' on July 1 at Bar- ranquilla was successful the revolu- tIonists capturing fCrts. MagdaleEa river boats and the custom houses. About eighty per cent of importations into Colombia pass through Barran- quilla, so that the revolutionists do not lack funds. It has been learned that the liberals refused to join the rising, which was engineered by the ultra a-conservatives. .,.,'
 No advices have been received here as to how the movement was accept ed by the rest of Colombia. There is rumor that certain influential Colombians publicly favor following Panama's example and constituting a new republic to be formed by the departments of Cauca,, Antioquia and a part of Bolivar.
 Fears are entertained by the Colombians inclined to peace that the situation will get beyond the control of president designate. Gen eral Holguin. who. however. is con- sidered an able statesman. It Is probable that congress will not be convened on July goth, as intended, as it would be liable to elect sue cessor to President Reyes, who in the existing circumstances will not be likely to satisfy all parties and the desire of President Holguin and his advisers is to do nothing that would serve further to develop polit- ical passions.

WESTON THE WALKER
 NEARING HIS GOAL SHOULD REACH SAN FRANCISCO ON TUESDAY. He is in Better Shape Than When He
 Started.

San Francisco. July S.-With more than $500 miles behind him and less and less than 200 miles still to end his tramp from New York to San Francis co, Erward Payson Weston, the ve- teran walker, is striding through the passes of the rugged Sierra Nevada mountains, with the last range that separates him from the Pacific ocean surmounted.
 The white haired athelete arrived at Summit, the highest station on the line of the Southern Pacific at 6:55 D. m. After dinner he started down the western slope, toward Cisc, expecting to reach there at midnight.
 Weston is four days behind his 100 day schedule. He should arrive here on Tuesday, July 13-103 days, exclus- i've of Sundays. from New York, which he left at D. m. on the evening of his roth birthday, March 15.
 His physical condition is better to- day than it was when he began the long journey and he is making up in- stead of losing time as the journey hears its end.

MANY VOICES FOR FREEDOM
First For the Porto Ricans, Then Filipinos and Lat terly Women of United States -Amputated Eng fish Endorsed.

Denver, July S.-The election of James Yadkin Joyner, superintend- ent of public instruction of North Carolina, as president of the Ma tional Educational Association this afternoon. led up to a series of par liamentary situations which threat ened to rend the inner circle of the association.
 Joyner was elected on the second ballot, and his rise to the presi- dency was cause for qualification by the enemies of the so-called book trust" Joyner had been the avowed candidate of the anti-octopusites. and when his election over Benjamin Blewett, head of St Louis schools. and Dr. J. H. Phillips, of Birming- was much rejoicing in the ranks of the antis.
 Immediately afterward the resOlu- tions committee appeared with a quiet enough arrangement of re solves" and thank yous." innocent indeed, except one, and this referred to the democracy of the schools. The resolution explained that to make this democracy stand in it's true light it would. be the disagreeable duty of preceptors to smite Fraternity evil in the high schools of the land.
 Instantly there was a commotion in the meeting of electors. But it did not last long, for the anti-fraternity clause went through without amend ment. The fraternity clause did more than stir up discord in this respect. It brought out more resolutions, each f.f fuk, hrrVr q Inc, saddle.
 The first clause was about sim plified spelling. It recited that this might not be propitious occasion for a renewal of the Roosevelt Matthews innovation. Yet the matter might bear inspection and for that reason the resolution was adopted. A pro test brought forth the explanation that the resolution did not bind the association to amputated English.
 Then the militant spirit of inde- pendence burst forth. It was intsi- gated by Edwin G. Dexter. cOmmis- sioner of education in Porto Rico Dexter offered a resolution urging that congress be asked to confer cit izenship upon the people of Porto Rico. He said that this would be a great aid to Q the teachers in the islands as it would be a glowing re ward of merit to hold before the eyes of the Porto Rican to tell him he would one day become a citizen of the great United States. Immediate ly a delegate from Alabama arose and proposed to taken on a little suggestion about freedom for the Filipinos.
 A storm of noise met this propO- sition. but it did not deter another exponent of freedom from offering straw of relief to what she termed a down -trodden' element. Miss Mary Shirley, of California. militant suff- ragette. said: Now if there is go-

London, July S.-The near approach of a crisis in Persian affairs has had little effect in removing the com pleXity situation.

It will therefore be at least another ten days before the Russian troops are able to take effective steps at Teheran.

 Instructions to the Russian troops for present are not to advance beyond Kay, which is eighty-seven miles from Teheran.

He tried a very clever trick in his effort to get away from the hold up by hiding and turning on the power. but the car was going too slow at the time and the robber managed easily to mount the rear end. In view of the fact that similar incidents occurred recently in Tucson and Douglas. it is quite na- tural to suppose that the Phoenix highwayman is the same individual who who has been working the south ern Arizona towns and possibly is one of the men who worked over the Los Angeles suburban lines few months ago.
