fatherland during the Napoleonic wars.
In the series of battles that Terminated
in the defeat Of the emperor at Waterloo
the women Of Prussia most nobly sup
ported their husbands, fathers sons and
brothers in the field. They sold their
rings and jewelry In order to be near the
scene Of the battles and thus be able to
give their aid In caring for the wounded.
The noblest women of the country were
proud to get the Order Of Louisa, but 1t
was by no means confined to them for

and many g. humble woman received the
order for services she had done her coun-

Germany also boasts another order OF
a similar kind-the Service Cross for
Women and Girls. This was the outcrop-
ping Of the war with France, when the
daughters Of the land Of the kaiser once

those who were bearing arms at the

France once had many orders. but the
substitution of q republican for q mo-
narchical form Of government has had
the effect Of gradually removing them all
excepting the Legion Of Honor, which
continues to be a decoration most eagerly
sought by all Frenchmen.

and then there was a stop. Departments
made inquiries. newspaper offices yelled

why-and there wasn't any information

issued.
Just yesterday 1t became known-Mr.
RandeIl himself admitted the truth, with
dignity-that he had held the edition up
and had 5000 books condemned. His name

DIR. McFadden Dead.

Judge j. w. McFadden received a
dispatch on Saturday afternoon an
nouncing the death of his brother,
DR.. L. A. McFaddeh, which occurred
at Peoria, ltls., at half past two
o'clock Of that day. He was operated
on in a hospital in that city six weeks
ago for cancer of the bowels.
DR.. McFadden practiced medicine
at Virginia for three years, and will
be remembered by our older citizens.
He went to Peoria twenty-five years
ago, where he built up a large and
lucrative practice, and leaves large
estate. He was born in Pittsburp,
Pa, in 1848. He leaves a widow,
two married daughters and one son.
Judge McF adden visited him at the

THAT BLESSED TARIFF.

A correspondent to the Rich Hill
Review makes few comparisons Of
how the tariff burdens are distribut-
ed between the rich and the poor by
the Aldrich-C Cannon law, which is
very interesting reading to the poor
man who is happy to continue to pay
the tax in order to exercise the bless
ed privilege of continuing to vote for
the grand old Republican party:
"rhe man whoimports 81 900 worth
of diamonds pays tax of but 500
10 per cent. If he imported a thou.
sand shirts worth a dollar each he
would have to leave at the customs
house and tack onto his selling prices
1901. 60-60 Is per cent.
If he decided that he would bring
in 81 900 worth of champagne, one OF
the items upon which there is large
increase, the tax levied by the tariff
is $500. If he brought in $1,000
worth of blankets he would pay a
tariff of l,645.42.
If he brought in $1,000 worth Of
paintings and statuary, all he would
have to pay as customs duties would
be 500, but if it were sugar he would
pay $788. 10 tax on 81, 900 worth.
If he brought in $1,000 worth Of
jewelry he would have to pay $500
tariff tax, but if he brought in 81, 0OC
worth of wool dress goods he would
pay 81, 009 81 tariff.
II he imported 5000 automobile
the tariff takers would relieve him Of
$3.50. II ii were $500 worth oil
clothing that tax would be A,33O.
If some New York millionaire
bring in a $l00, 900 ocean-going yacht
the tariff would be $35, 0CJ, but If the
importations were stockings the tariff
collected would be 81, $50"

study, for by so doing your work
will be greatly simplified, your CLASH
fication can be made more perfect
than without this and we shall soon
find that the grading of country
schools is not so difficult as we often
think. Since many of our reading
circles discuss other phases of school
work at their meetings, and it is right
that they should, why not take up
some part of the course Of study and
discuss it. -
Miss Grace Darr, of Hot Water
school, has quite a collection of work
for nature study and. is making good
use of it. She has her pupils doing
some excellent work in geography,
and the teachers of her reading circle
will do well to have her tell them
how she teaches geography.
The teachers meetings at Altoona and
Adrian were well attended and very
satisfactory in every way except the
light attendance of patrons. The
teachers were all prepared on their
work and many valuable points were
brought out. The only trouble about
the program was a lack of time every
minute was well utilized. AT Altoona
the library as an aid to school work
was very ably presented by Prof.
Howell, Miss Marie Todd, of War
rensburg, conducted a model lesson
in reading and every teacher present
was highly pleased with the work
presented. Mrs. Crowder had most
excellent paper on School Room
Waste after which Miss Todd gave a
talk on Language Work. At Adrian
Prof. Hoover discussed Professional
Spirit Among Teachers. Miss Eula
Shelton read one of the best papers
presented. Her subject was, How to
Keep the Little Ones Busy. Miss
Shelton exercised excellent judgment
in the preparation Of her paper by
presenting only practical ways or
means OF keeping pupils busy and
presenting them in such a way that
all could understand her plans. Miss
Todd talked on, The Physical, Intel
lectual and Social Phases Of Educa-
ton. Miss E. Ruth Zieqler read a
paper on, Importance OF the Right
Habits Of Study-How Securedp Miss
Ziegler presented her subject SO well
that all satisfied without any discus
sion Of the subject.
Thiry-two teachers enrolled at the
meeting besides a number Of prospec-
tive ones who attended and did not
enroll.
