The first Saturday after our remov- al to the city, my mother called at Mrs. Dachney's home and arranged for my younger brother and myself to en- ter school the following Monday. Mrs. Dachney had removed from the old home on South Perry Street, to a cot tage on Court Street, adjacent to the Shorter residence.
 Monday morning, my brother and I, equipped with the requisite books, ap- psared at school. The room was crowded with little boys and girls, but not one of my schoolmates of three and c half years agone, was present-all lad become so advanced in their studies that they had been transferred Go schools of higher grades--not even my old chum.

 He was slender, dressed in black, was abstracted and was so different from any man l ever saw-that he pug zled me no little.

 I will say, in this connection. that I believe those who teach morals should be moral: those who teach purity. should be pure, and if the odor of the least uncleanness be upon them. they should not undertake to teach, at all.

 But the Farmers Union is a power full institution, presided over and guided by great rural wisdom, and 1t may be able to accomplish the impos- sib1e.
